THE BEAST IS YET TO COME

And she's already starting to sprout hair.


This interesting poster was made for Kemono ni natta hitozuma, aka The Beast: Married Woman, which was produced by Shintoho Company and starred Maki Tomota, aka Maki Tomoda. She’s an adult video actress who began her career in Japan in 2002 and today is a popular figure in milf porn. In case you’re wondering, they do use the term milf in Japan, but just for effect. The preferred word is actually jukujo, literally “mature woman.” Tomoda’s armpit hair is not just any armpit hair. It’s a trademark. One of her more successful jukujo series has been Kāsan no waki no ke, which means “mother’s armpit hair.” As we’ve mentioned before, we’re indifferent about female body hair, and it isn’t an age thing—we’re fully from generation wax. We just feel, you know, her body, her choice. Tomoda probably has hundreds of hirsute images out there, because she’s quite well known. This particular film, on the other hand, is not. We couldn’t track it down, nor uncover any plot info, though it’s an ironclad certainty it’s bondage related (hello, de Sade). What we did find were some promo images and we’ve shared two—nice Maki, and naughty Maki. Kemono ni natta hitozuma premiered in Japan today in 2008.
