Anri Sugihara (杉原 杏璃, Sugihara Anri; born June 12, 1982, in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan), is a Japanese gravure idol. She is currently freelance.
After Sugihara graduated from Hiroshima Prefectural Fukuyama Ashiyo High School, she moved to Tokyo.[1] Thinking of how she could use her low height and her high voice, she decided to give gravure a go.[2]
Sugihara likes Thailand, and her skill is capoeira.[3] She is left-handed. Sugihara has gastroptosis.[4] She has been successful several times in the stock investment, in 2014, she obtained the heading Zai Tech Tarento.[5]
In 2012, Sugihara was appointed as a secretary of Hiroshima Prefecture tourism.[6][7]
Personal life
In 2018, it was announced that Sugihara had gotten married and decided to retire from gravure modeling.[8] However, in 2022, there were reports circulating that she had gotten a divorce, which was later confirmed by Sugihara herself, saying it has already been a year since.[9]
Sugihara took a break from gravure activities after getting married in 2018, but another reason was that she suddenly developed a fear of heights around the age of 33, which led her to move out of the tall apartment she was living in at the time and continue doing gravure activities while taking medication. She further elaborated that she has trouble flying in planes as she "faints and refuses to fly." She also revealed in an interview with Daily Shincho that since her debut, she has had a fear of water (especially the sea) and that it was because of her phobias that she did not like flying or going to the sea.[8]
