Previous Positions: Didn't do official posts for the first two on the list, #10 was Iori and in the ninth spot was Yuzuha. Below are the links to the all of the other positions and getting tougher each year to get more women eligible but the quality for 2025 is as high as ever.
Before I fell ill for a spell this was the day the fave's list was originally scheduled to be completed. That won't happen but because I've been doing a post a day for the list it should be done tomorrow though haven't begun working on it yet, so perhaps Wednesday? Then will have a few regular posts for those who didn't make the esteemed list though these posts aren't different than others. December is a slowish time of the year which is why I do the countdown now, there's very few events, magazines double up on their issues and it's probably a good time for my faves to take a breather. All of the posts for the list have been terrific and this should be another but this is the first post where there's so few recent photos but that's okay for who would have thought Kana would ever finish second on a yearly list????!!!!


This is the eleventh year the list has been done, without a doubt the biggest surprises happened this year with the pair who were in the fifth and second positions. Both were under the radar favorites from years ago and when they left their groups never expected either to have many if any posts. But between them the pair had 26 posts and both are close to being FT gravure models, hope a few of my other my other Nogi faves would emulate the two. Kana had about six solo posts while with Nogi, she left them in the Autumn of 2020 and seemed she would have a post every six months after that but never in my wildest dreams did I expect her to have eleven this year! Plus the posts were all so superb, to me Kana was Nogi's most underrated alluring member and this past year she's finally proved me right! Wonder what makes someone 25+ in age become a gravure model as she's not the first that it's happened to. Sure it's to pump up a career though Kana had been doing well but mainly as a Mahjong pro, all of her gravure modeling from the past year has really upped her popularity.


I don't understand the pro M-League stats so well but right above is how
Kana has done over the last three seasons and seems to me she's doing okay but isn't quite a superstar. Bet if
Kana dressed like she is right above that would distract her opponents enough to swoop in for the kill! Back in August
Kana hit the age of 31 and the last two months have been a slower time for her as far as modeling goes but that's been the case for a few other women I post about. So am really hoping the past year isn't some sort of blip and that we'll continue to see
Kana put those models a decade younger than her to shame. For 2025 she did have six digital books and her second regular photobook plus almost a dozen magazine spreads however there's been none of those since October. So today will mainly feature some of her sweltering mag spreads from this year along with a link to her PB, sure many of you have seen those already as
Kana's posts have been popular but bet you've forgotten what you've seen....
As I briefly alluded to in the beginning who would have ever thought
Kana would be my #1 Nogi member of a year? To me she was the unnoticed glue which held the group together for so long and I always thought she was so respected by the other members so hope a few will follow in her footsteps. First off are these recent
Kana IG photos but she never posts enough of them not wearing her M-League uniform, there was no news at the page either of upcoming activities.
Seeing as how
Kana never had many solo posts while with Nogi there's still a lot of older things that you've never seen before. Such as Nogi cards and I really like these, bet there's been 10,000 or more posted over the years!!!! It is close to Christmas but instead of holiday cards will have some from the month of December, because of X-Mas there's fewer of these cards than any other month.
Even more
Kana cards which are for New Year's, Nogi had two kinds of sets for the holiday with the second called Lucky Bag.
No recent acting roles for
Kana but she was in the terrific "Death Blog" movie while she was a member of Nogi. She does co-host a Mahjong show and has written two books on the sport plus has had a pair of radio shows so while those aren't activities to post about she has been a busy woman. For the countdown I always try to include things from the year so you can see some reasons why a woman finished so high on the fave's list, this is the third time an (ex)Nogi member has been second. But don't think
Kana had much of a chance to take down #1 who after June wasn't threatened by any other woman. Will have a quartet of magazine spreads for today, others had more spreads and books than
Kana this year but none topped how sweltering she looked in her gravure photos! First up is this set from the July 1st issue of
Gekkan Young Magazine which featured outtake pics from her second photobook.









Kana had over a dozen hotter than the Sun magazine spreads this year, to me this could have been her top one which was from the February 24th issue of Young Magazine..... WOWOWOWOW!!!!
Will end off with
Kana's two most recent magazine spreads, this set is from the September 9th issue of
Flash. Wouldn't surprise me if being in the M-League has cut into
Kana's free time, bet a sport like that has many more league matches in the Winter versus the Summer and that's why we haven't seen anything new from her for a while.
Kana was the cover girl for all four spreads, these last two were promoting new digital books and this final spread is from the September 26th issue of
Friday.
We've hit the end and on May 27th
Kana released her second regular photobook "Kakitateu" and of course it was one of the top books of the year though will confess that to me her first PB in 2020 was a bit better. This book has received almost 1,400 views but I figured the total would top 2,000 so will have the link to it for those who may overlooked it. Will skip having any videos as my minor beef is that there were none from the photo shoots for
Kana's searing mag spreads and books, how I would do anything to see her start releasing some of those kinds of videos....
