Kana Tsugihara’s photo gallery was viewed a whopping 1,267,210 times last year, making her the most popular Japanese gravure idol on Kineda. Following closely were Nozomi Sasaki with 1,012,681 views, Yukie Kawamura with 930,152 views and Aki Hoshino with 890,982 views.

If Kineda’s stats are of any indication, Kana’s sexy appeal should put her on the road to super stardom in 2009. Under her belt already are ads for Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Namco’s Dead or Alive game series and spots in several TV dramas. The real payoff though, would be a rumored spokes model deal with mega mobile communcations company NTT DOCOMO. Lets keep our fingers crossed for this young starlet.

Update 1/30/09 – New Kana Tsugihara Photos Added

Kana Tsugihara

It’s been a while since I wrote about one of my favorite Japanese idols — Kana Tsugihara. Kana is out with a set of new pics from her Bomb TV photo shoot. She’s beautiful no doubt, but I have to give props to the photographer for the skills in these shots. I would love to know what camera setup he’s using because the bokeh is just lovely.

And here’s a bonus video of Kana Tsugihara…

When it comes to defining sexy in Japan, it’s hard to beat Kana Tsugihara. She’s modeled for everything from Sony’s Playstation to Ferrari’s F430 Modena.

Last time we featured Kana Tsugihara promoting Sony’s PSP, you guys went nuts. Since it’s Friday and it’s been quite some time since we’ve had a Kineda Idol of the Day, I thought a highlight on F-Cup beauty Kana Tsugihara would do the trick.

Born August 25, 1984 in Tokyo, Kana has been sweeping up the ads of Japanese magazines, promotional events and television commericials. It’s not hard to see why! With her beautiful lips and 34F-23-35″ figure, this 5′2″ cutey is sure to capture the attention of any audience.

Japan really knows how to use their pool of young beauties to sell a product. In Europe, they used topless men to support the Nintendo DS Lite, but Japan does it right by recruiting popular ladies, Kana Tsugihara and Mai Tazawa from Sabra Magazine (much like Maxim here in the States) to show off Sony’s black and white PSPs.
