ABOUT Kimiko Matsuzaka
Kimiko Matsuzaka (¼â ‹GŽÀŽq, Matsuzaka Kimiko) is a Japanese AV idol who was prominent during the late-1980s and early-1990s noted for her large breasts. Authorities on the AV point to Matsuzaka's career as the beginning of the "Big Bust Boom" in Japan.

AV Debut


Born in Kobe either February 10, or October 21, 1969, Kimiko Matsuzaka was attending Otsuma Women's University when she was scouted by AV director Toru Muranishi (‘º¼‚Æ‚¨‚é, ‘º¼‚Æ‚¨‚é). She made her debut with Diamond Image studios in 1989. Her stage name was taken from a combination of "Matsuzaka", from actress Keiko Matsuzaka (¼âŒcŽq, ¼âŒcŽq), and "Kimiko" from the actress Kimiko Ikegami (’rã‹GŽÀŽq, ’rã‹GŽÀŽq). Her bust size was advertised as 110.7 centimeters (43 1/2 inches), but this was a publicity gimmick employing a pun on "ii onna" or "good woman" (110 pronounced "ii o", and "7" resembling the Katakana "ƒi" – "na"). According to –{‹´MG (Motohashi Nobuhiro, –{‹´MG), her bust size was actually in the upper 90s.

Though large breasts had been admired in Japanese erotic cinema since at least the 1950s, with the popularity of actress Michiko Maeda, the success of Matsuzaka, and other large-breasted performers of this time, such as Reiko Kato (‚©‚Æ‚¤‚ê‚¢‚±, ‚©‚Æ‚¤‚ê‚¢‚±) led the establishment of the Big Bust genre as part of the Japanese AV industry.

Success


Originally scheduled for only one video, her debut video, Dekkaino, Mekke! (‚Å‚Á‚©`‚¢‚́A‚ß‚Á‚¯!, Dekkaino, Mekke!) became a huge hit for the Diamond Eizo company, selling several thousand copies shortly after its release on February 1, 1989. Capitalizing on this success, Diamond Image named the first day of the month "Large Breast Day" ("‹“û‚Ì“ú", Kyonyu no Hi), and released a Kimiko Matsuzaka video on the first day of each month for nearly two years. Noriyuki Adachi singles out Matsuzaka's second AV, 1107 Millimeter Impression, as the one that set the "Big Bust Boom" (‹“ûƒu[ƒ€, "Kyonyu Boom") "on fire." The storyline of her fifth video, "Daughter!" (released June 1, 1989), had her playing the role of a news reporter. From this point on, she would be cast in a different profession with each appearance. In her following videos she would play a doctor, an attorney, a journalist, a professional golfer, and even a high government official, among other occupations.

In late-1989 and mid-1990, she appeared with Kaoru Kuroki in director Toru Muranishi's series of instructional sex videos demonstrating sexual techniques and the use of sexual toys while Kuroki provided the lecture/commentary. She was one of the voice actresses for two volumes of an adult science-fiction anime video (—db‹³Žº), released May 25 and July 27, 1990 by Daiei through its "dez" label. She also recorded a musical vocal duet with actor/comedian Lasalle Ishii, Soresore dousuruno? (ƒ\ƒŒƒ\ƒŒ‚Ç‚¤‚·‚é‚Ì?, Soresore dousuruno?), which was released on November 25, 1990.

Besides a prolific AV career, Matsuzaka was very active appearing in photo books and weekly magazines, having regular appearances in Popular Weekly (TЧ‘åO, Popular Weekly) and Tokyo Sports Newspaper (“Œ‹žƒXƒ|[ƒcV•·, Tokyo Sports Newspaper). She was a regular on on television variety and drama series of the early-1990s, including All Night Fuji (ƒI[ƒ‹ƒiƒCƒgƒtƒW, All Night Fuji).

Retirement


Matsuzaka made her last AV, Sexual Game, in October of 1990. AV director Toru Muranishi called her departure from the industry one of the worst news items affecting the AV industry in 1990. A year and eight months after her debut, she had starred in 21 AVs, helping to build Muranishi's company, Diamond Image, into the largest AV company in Japan. Within a year after Matsuzaka's departure, Diamond Image would declare bankruptcy. After retirement from AV appearances, she appeared with Kaoru Kuroki at the Akasaka club, "Mirukuhooru" ("Milk Hall"). She ceased all public appearances in the spring of 1991, citing personal problems. It was later reported that she had taken up work as a commuting office lady.
