Kimiko Matsuzaka

Kimiko Matsuzaka (松坂 季実子 Matsuzaka Kimiko?) is a Japanese AV idol who was prominent during the late-1980s and early-1990s noted for her large natural breasts. An authority on the AV industry points 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. She made her debut with Diamond Visual (ダイヤモンド映像 Diayamondo Eizō?) in 1989. Her stage name was taken from a combination of "Matsuzaka", from actress Keiko Matsuzaka (松坂慶子?), and "Kimiko" from the actress Kimiko Ikegami (池上季実子?). Her bust size was advertised as 110.7 

centimeters (43½ 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 "ナ" – "na"). According to Motohashi Nobuhiro (本橋信宏?), her bust size was actually in the upper 90s.

Though large natural breasts had been admired in Japanese erotic cinema since at least the 1950s, with the popularity of actress Maeda Michiko,[3] the success of Matsuzaka, and other naturally large-breasted performers of this time, such as Reiko Kato (かとうれいこ?) 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! (でっか～いの、めっけ!?) became a huge hit for the Diamond Visual company, selling several thousand copies shortly after its release on February 1, 1989. Capitalizing on this success, Diamond Visual named the first day of the month "Large Breast Day" ("巨乳の日" 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" (巨乳ブーム "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. By now known internationally as a "queen of pornos", in an interview with Associated Press in mid-1990, it was reported that Matsuzaka made over five times the average salary for a woman her age. Matsuzaka said that she was happy with her career and commented, "I see myself as a success story."
