[edit] Life and career
Sakurako Kaoru was born in Tokyo on November 22, 1982.[2]
[edit] AV career
Sakurako Kaoru made her AV debut in the July 2002 Kuki release 101 Litre Girl.[citation needed] Kaoru's second three videos for Kuki were all under director Happy Yamada, whom fellow AV idol Milk Ichigo described as a, "really weird man... a really interesting person, very unique."[3] In late 2002 and early 2003, Kaoru appeared in several prominent men's magazines from Weekly Playboy (October 2002) to Flash (January 2003).[4][5]
At the beginning of 2003, Kaoru made her first video for the VIP studio, Very Rare.[citation needed] She also began an association with the Crystal Eizō company at this time, first appearing for the studio in Female Breasts: Sakurako Kaoru (February 2003).[6] She was the company's AV actress interview for April 2003.[7] Kaoru appeared in Akibahara, Tokyo in September 2003, for a signing event for Crystal Eizō. In an interview she expressed concerns that no one would show up to meet her, but warmly greeted those in attendance, signing a t-shirt for the winner of a ro-sham-bo contest. After a question-and-answer session, Kaoru shook hands with her fans.[8]
She began appearing for the TMA studio in October 2003 with Fetish Angle Big Breasts.[citation needed] Kaoru's retirement from the AV world was with Buck-Naked Bomber Boobs Lessons: Sakurako Kaoru's Retirement Work (August 2004, I Energy). In this video, Kaoru played the role of a buxom teacher who arouses the attention of her students and the school staff.[9] In a December 2005 article on the subject, Kaoru was listed as one of the group of AV idols who maintained a blog.[10] Since concentrating on the V-cinema and pink film genres, Kaoru has appeared in at least one more AV, the June 2005 release, New High School Teacher's Training: Season of Cherry.[citation needed]
[edit] Pink film career
Sakurako Kaoru appeared in the V-cinema release Mikosurihan Theater, based on the manga of the same name in June 2004, and left AV for the theatrical softcore pink film genre soon after.[11] In 2005 she co-starred in major AV-idol and pink film actress Yumika Hayashi's last film, Miss Peach: Peachy Sweetness Huge Breasts (ミスピーチ 巨乳は桃の甘み Misu Piichi: kyonyū wa momo no umami) (2005), by female director Yumi Yoshiyuki. The film was released in September, after Hayashi's untimely death in June,[12][13] and chosen as fifth best pink release of the year 2005 at the "Pink Grand Prix".[14] Yoshiyuki's Big Tit Sisters: Blow Through the Valley (巨乳な姉妹~谷間に吸いつけ~ - Kyonyū na shimai * tanima ni fuitsuke), which starred Kaoru,[15] was chosen as the seventh best pink film released during the year 2006 at the "Pink Grand Prix" awards ceremony. Under the title Three Rules for Being a Witch (魔女になるための3つのルール Majo ni narutame no mittsu no rūru) the film was presented at the Yūbari International Fantastic Film Festival.[16] Kaoru's Naked Three Sisters: Lewdness (裸の三姉妹 淫交 Hadaka no sanshimai: inkō) was also chosen as the 10th best film at the Pink Grand Prix for that year.[17] In its pink top-ten list for the year, the walkerplus.com film site picked Big Tit Sisters as the sixth best pink film of the year, and another film starring Kaoru, Wife and Secretary: Overflowing Love Juice (人妻とOL あふれる愛液 Hitozuma to OL: afureru ai-eki),[18] for ninth place.[19] The following year, Kaoru was given a Best Actress award at the "Pink Grand Prix" ceremony for her performance in another Yoshiyuki film, Adultery Addiction: Sensual Daze (不倫中毒 官能のまどろみ - Furinchūdoku: kannō no madoromi).[20]
