The 2009 swimsuit campaign girl for textile company Toray is high school student and model Tomoe Genzaki, 17. Genzaki, who is 175 cm tall and a model for fashion magazine JJ, said, “I failed in the audition last year. That was very mortifying, so I’m happy today.” Genzaki will work on ad campaigns for Toray’s swimsuit from now on.

17, woah, she's a little too old, don'tcha think? and my god, she really needs to lose some weight. japanese standards are really slipping!

Golly I did not realize she was that young. Mind you if this young girl keeps herself in good shape in her 40s she will stll be a lovely looking young woman

I feel a bit ashamed in commenting on her beauty earlier on. Wish she was around 21 or such & in honesty I feel a good looking model is the same if not better with proper clothing rather then bathing suits or such.

I forgot to mention she also has a nice bellybutton.

Bikini contests for 17 year old high school girls ??? A new low for Japan, the undisputed king of kiddie porn, enjo kosai, and male chauvenist attitudes... The editors of Japantoday should be ashamed of this large scale photo and photo !

"The editors of Japantoday should be ashamed of this large scale photo"

I think the editors of Japantoday should be congratulated for this great big photo!

Um Sarge, She's 17 ! Is that even considered an adult by Japan's fluctuating morals ?

barfly - "She's 17"

Yeah, she is! For a couple more weeks, anyway..."

"Is that even considered an adult"

In Japan, people legally become adults at age 21, though many females, including the lovely Tomoe here, are fully developed physically by around age 15 or even younger. She's not having sex, for cryin' out loud, she's just showing off her beautiful body. Sheesh!

Interesting theory.

I vote for cute guys in speedos for the next picture of the day.

I will have to counter your vote.

her bellybutton is the nicest I've ever come across, then I woke up
Sarge at 09:57 PM JST - 3rd November

rurika - Well, we've had eight more pictures of the day since this one and so far no cute guys in speedos. I guess you'll have to submit your own photo if you want to see that.

Did I mention she has great teeth?
