EVERYTHING OKA

Likes include fine saki, sunset walks, and light humiliation.

Above, five promo posters featuring Naomi Oka, who appeared in dozens of pinku and roman porno films between 1972 and 1987, with 1979 being her banner year as twelve films hit Japanese screens. As you might imagine based on the above evidence, she was one of the queens of bondage. The posters above are for, top to bottom, Onna keimusho shikei, aka Women’s Prison: The LynchingHentai shikijô nawa fujin, aka Abnormal Rope WifeHitozuma hentai, aka Abnormal Bride, Nihon no rinchi, aka Japanese Lynching, and Kinbalu ijo-ma, aka Distributing agency: Shin-Toho, also sometimes referred to as Disturbing: Rope Master. It’s always important to note that restraint and bondage have a special place in Japanese culture, where it’s considered—if not quite normal—not outstandingly weird either. Below you see Oka mercifully freed from bondage.
