From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fumie Hosokawa (細川 ふみえ; born 2 September 1971) is a Japanese actress, singer, and model. She is often referred to as the "original" kyonyu (huge breasts) idol.[2]
Life and career
Hosokawa was born in Mutsu, Aomori Prefecture and lived in Etajima, Hiroshima Prefecture until the age of four. She then moved to Hawaii for a year to attend school there. She is the daughter of a rear admiral in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
She started posing for magazines in December 1990 as a bikini model. Soon afterwards she also started singing and acting in films.[citation needed]
She is 163 cm (5 ft 4 in) tall. Her official website charts her changing figure over time. In 1990 she was 94-60-90 cm (37-24-35 inches). In 2006 she was 90-59-87 cm (35-23-34 inches). After a lengthy hiatus from bikini modelling, she released two gravure idol DVDs in 2006.[3]
On 20 December 2007 she gave birth to her first child, a boy, with husband Hisato Endo, and announced her withdrawal from celebrity life.[4] However, before giving birth, she had posed for her first-ever nude photo book, 'Fumming', which was released in August 2007.[5]
However, in December 2009, a Japanese sports newspaper reported that she and Endo were divorced.[6]
She made a comeback to celebrity life in March 2014, after she appearing at Sunday Japon on TBS.[citation needed]
