Izumi Shima (志麻いづみ, Shima Izumi) is a Japanese actress known especially for her roles in Nikkatsu Roman Porno series of films.
Life and career
Shima was born Keiko Ishida (石田恵子) in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, Japan on December 3, 1953.[1] She made her debut with the Nikkatsu studio in the August 1977 Roman Porno film Lady Chatterley In Tokyo.[2] Nikkatsu promoted Shima for this film as their "most beautiful actress" and the cinematography in the film was designed specifically to highlight her attractiveness.[3] However, due to the film's disappointing reception, Shima was relegated to low profile and supporting roles for years.[4]
During this time, Shima appeared in a number of S&M works for Nikkatsu including the 1980 Blazing Bondage Lady and the 1982 Female Beautician Rope Discipline both written by noted SM-author Oniroku Dan.[5] When Oniroku Dan, seemingly unhappy with the fate of his scripts, decided to produce his own film, Dark Hair, Velvet Soul in 1982, he brought in respected pink film director Mamoru Watanabe to direct the film and he also chose Shima for the starring role.[5] According to the Weissers, Shima brought "elegance and panache" to her role[5] and after this successful appearance, she made S&M films her specialty and became regarded as one of Nikkatsu's leading S&M actresses of the 1980s.[4]
