Retiring JAV star Kyoko Ichikawa asks fans for one simple thing – PRIVACY

Kyoko Ichikawa just retired from adult video, and she’s already dealing with the messy side of leaving the industry.

The 45-year-old curvy MILF queen announced her retirement on July 8, but she’s had to hop back on social media a couple times since then to set some boundaries.

The privacy warning

She posted that people have been spreading info about her workplace and private life, plus she’s been getting malicious DMs and straight-up harassment.

Her message was pretty clear:

“I’ve recently observed information being spread about my workplace and private life, as well as malicious direct messages and harassing behavior. I will keep evidence concerning the spread of false information, invasions of privacy, and defamation, and will take appropriate action, including legal measures, where necessary.”

She wrapped it up by thanking fans for the support and apologizing if the whole thing caused any worry.

The “please ignore me at work” request

A week later (July 15) she made another post that’s actually kinda wholesome and real.

She explained that even though she’s doing her own content creator / event stuff now, there are still times she works a regular job — just like she sometimes did while she was still in AV.

Her ask?

“If you happen to see me while I’m working my regular job, please just look the other way. I realize I tend to stand out and may likely be spotted, but I want my fans to focus solely on my professional work.”

Basically: if you spot the famous I-cup jukujo ringing you up at a store or whatever, just pretend you didn’t see her. Let her live.

Quick career recap

Kyoko debuted in April 2021 at age 40 under Madonna as a full-on I-cup mature bombshell. She stayed pretty busy for a few years, dropping multiple titles a year until she went freelance in 2024.

She briefly tried the name Kate Kikukawa (and went blonde) before switching back to Kyoko Ichikawa in August 2024.

Even after retiring from shooting, she’s not disappearing completely. She’s still doing fan events — there’s a ticketed “graduation party” on July 31 and a summer festival dining event coming up — plus she’s pushing herself as a YouTuber and content creator.

(And yeah, she already dropped her own onahole and that famous “jukujo smell” lubricant back in 2021, so the merch game was strong.)

Why this hits different

Stuff like this is a good reminder of how hard it can be for AV actresses to transition out. Even after they quit, the attention (and the weirdos) don’t always stop. Kyoko’s just trying to protect her normal life while still staying connected to fans through events and content.

Respect for being upfront about it.

If you’re a fan, maybe just enjoy her old work and new posts… and if you ever spot her in the wild at a regular job, give the woman some peace.
