Riri Nanatsumori

The latest minor celebrity to make the crossover to porn is Riri Nanatsumori, who previously worked under the name Reika Matsumoto (松本鈴香).

Born in 1995 and blessed with an F-cup bust, Riri Nanatsumori is half-Japanese, half-Filipino. Along with the relatively recent porn debut of Japanese-Portuguese performer Karen Ishida, there is growing demand for so-called “haafu” AV idols.

She built up a career as Reika Matsumoto initially as a model for the magazine CHOKi CHOKi and as a host of a music TV show.

She changed her professional name in July when she switched to a new agency. Her adult video debut (SSNI00854) is set for release from top JAV production company S1 on August 19. It has already reached the top rank in pre-sales on FANZA (as DMM’s porn shop is now known).

While Riri was not exactly a major celebrity with a million fans waiting to lap up her every career move, no doubt the preview images of this slender and graceful beauty have successfully persuaded people that this AV release is a serious event in the porn calendar.
