Sayaka Tomaru: Finally making her triumphant return?
I hope that title is correct and we'll know within the month if it's true as I'm sure so many of you out there have also missed Sayaka. Who was first introduced in November 2017 and I had always thought it was two years before that. Coming into today she had 44 posts which isn't too bad of a total but there's only been six for her the past two years. Was just counting up Sayaka's previous 44 posts and they've had a total of.... 104,485 views and I had never counted up how many views a woman had up until now. So those posts have an average of 2,375 views so that's an impressive figure though does it compare to Sayaka's?!!!!
Sayaka even made the top ten on the fave's list one year, that was back in 2018 so she has been a long time favorite of mine. But since 2021 her activities and posts have been so sporadic, because of that will confess I overlook some of the things she's done the last two years. Which hasn't been all that much but there has been a recent spurt for Sayaka such as her appearing in at least one recent magazine and she did have an event last month for her 2025 calendar. So let me work on a post for Sayaka that will be including those things plus there's a few other activities on the horizon. Know I've missed at least one digital book so give me a bit of time to work on things and who knows, instead of one more post there could be 3-4 of them!
This September Sayaka will be hitting the age of thirty and is another fave of mine who is single even though she's creeping up there in age. She was one of my first favorite gravure models, she still does that though has slowed down a bit. Actually Sayaka has slowed down on many activities and she has mentioned how she's a bit of a shy women who tends to shun the spotlight so wonder has that hurt her career at all? Sayaka has done a lot of acting since 2020 and I've seen her in a few things, none of her roles were major ones but she seemed to do a good job to me. But all in all 2025 was not a busy year for Sayaka as she didn't do much from March until October, during that stretch she only did a guest appearance in one drama, did appear in one film but had zero digital books up until November. In 2024 Sayaka celebrated a decade in show biz and perhaps she wanted to take a breather before she dove head first back into her career, so as mentioned hope this is the first of a few posts.
I didn't work too hard on this post as I had everything all set to go and will end off with a terrific digital book that is somewhat old yet hadn't been posted before. Will have a bit more variety in her next post such as that recent magazine spread, pics from the calendar event and anything else form 2025 that was missed. Sayaka has a younger sister named Akari and back in 2020 the pair did have a digital book featuring the duo plus have shared a few magazine spreads. But I've never posted any of those so perhaps that could also be some posts I could work on and you'll be hearing more about her little sister in future posts. For Sayaka and Akari will be having their first regular photobook and that will be released on January 28th. The top three pics below are for the book and you may be seeing 2-3 'Pairs' Posts' for the duo.
Those bottom two pics above are from that December calendar event. When she was younger Sayaka's face was just only so-so attractive wise but her overall looks have really improved as time has gone on, I think she looks better than ever these days and often say that women's looks are much better the older they get. Before the large digital book will have a trio of magazine spreads, this first one had never been posted and is from the March 4, 2025 issue of Flash.... why only four pages?! It was Sayaka's last spread until the Autumn, she also had zero books in that period.
Have said often this past year how I've been having encores of older magazine spreads as so many were fabulous and hate to see them forgotten about. Plus there's been many new viewers over the years so odds are high they've never seen many of them. Such as this oldie set from the September 17, 2019 issue of Manga Action, Sayaka isn't often the cover girl but she was for this issue and nine days later celebrated her 23rd birthday.
In the beginning did say how Sayaka was a shy woman and you don't think of gravure models being that way, especially with someone as alluring as Sayaka. But she is that way so very seldom posts any photos at her IG page and don't think Akari has any other kind of site such as a blog or fan club. Did just say how Sayaka never graces enough covers but have another one where she did and this terrific spread is from volume two of Sunny Girl that came out in November 2023.
We've hit the end which means Sayaka's terrific Friday magazine digital book. Did confess earlier that when a woman isn't too busy I tend to overlook some of her activities and did so for this book as it was released way back in June 2024 so better late than never! This is a large boom with 92 pics but there is no video from the photo shoot and that's common for this magazine. So after the pics have a short video from 2020 of Sayaka with her younger sister Akari who looks good though isn't as endowed! Akari is also a gravure model or at least was so let me check to see if it's worth having any posts for her.
