Kei Fubuki Reveals that She was a Former CA! An Unexpected Comment from Her Boss after Discovering her Gravure Appearances!

Gravure was meant to be a sideline.

I shot a scene in a real high-class club in Ginza, where I wore a dress and served customers. It was a glamorous world I had never been to before.

Kei Fubuki, who plays a club hostess in the movie “Welcome to Le Jardin,” debuted in Gravure in 2021, and has been active since then, making her presence felt in a variety of media, movies, and TV dramas.

In the October 18 issue of FRIDAY, she is featured in a “cover story” that challenges the limits of sexiness, and her disclosure of her background as a “former CA” is also attracting a great deal of attention. We asked her to look back on the time when she was doing gravure without telling her family as well as her company.

I moved to Tokyo when I was 20 and worked as a CA for three years until I was 23. But soon after I joined the company, I had a COVID-19 crisis, which is not really good, but I was working part-time as a wedding dress model. At that time, I was asked, ‘How about gravure or something?’ I started because I wanted to be like Eiko Koike,” she said.

Although she started gravure with a light heart, she was inundated with offers immediately after her debut. She appeared in a variety of magazines, and her gravure activities became known to the company.
