Profile
Eve (Yumiko Kumashiro)──Real name: Katsumata Kimie. Born in Tagata District, Shizuoka Prefecture, on November 22, 1963, height 160 cm, measurements B89・W58・H88, blood type O. She used the stage name "Eve" and also worked under the alias "Yumiko Kumashiro."In her youth, she aspired to be a talent from junior high school, participating in various auditions and accumulating experience as a semi-nude photo model. After graduating from a private girls' high school, she worked at a local department store in Shizuoka while spending her days off in Tokyo, leading a typical office lady lifestyle. However, she was drawn by a sign in Kabukicho advertising "daily earnings over 30,000 yen" and began working at a no-panties cafe.
In September 1983, during the second no-panties cafe boom in Kabukicho, she was affiliated with the private room no-panties cafe "USA" and gained popularity after being featured in the adult information magazine "Night Times." In the first no-panties cafe trend, waitresses wore loincloths without underwear as objects of viewing, but in the second trend, private room services with designated customers were offered, and her popularity was such that anecdotes include "lines forming in front of the shop" and "up to 35 designated customers a day." It was also reported that "support groups of over 200 members were formed" at universities (including Waseda, Gakushuin, Hosei, Chuo, Tokai, Takushoku, Senshu, etc.), and she was praised in general magazines as the "Idol of Kabukicho" and "Queen of No-Panties Cafes."
In February 1984, she left "USA" and was appointed as the image girl for the imported lingerie manufacturer "Check Mate," and in March, she performed in a fashion show held in Shinjuku. She also made her singing debut, and on May 20, the "Eve Festival" was held in front of thousands of spectators at the east exit plaza of Shinjuku Station's Alta. That same year, she made her starring debut in the Roman Porno film "Eve-chan's Petal" (produced by Nikkatsu). In April 1986, she made her stage debut in "The Legend of the Comedians."
In July 1987, she married a video production company president who was 17 years her senior and chose to retire from the entertainment industry. However, she divorced the following year, moved to Osaka, and resumed activities as a reporter for a local TV station, among other roles. In 1989, she and her younger sister, Takeda Aimi, worked as the "AV Sisters," displaying sisterly nudity. As a stripper, she participated in theater performances nationwide, taking the stage under the banner of "Queen of No-Panties Cafes."
Her career trajectory differs from that of typical TV drama and film actresses. Evolving from a symbolic figure of Kabukicho's nightlife to a no-panties cafe girl, gravure model, adult video actress, and stripper, her path can be seen as a microcosm of the urban vulgar culture of the late Showa era. Through her works, stage performances, and singing debut, she appeared on the "main stage" while retaining an aura of the "back alleys."
Reasons for her fan support include her visual appeal. With a voluptuous figure, she stood out as the "face of the shop" in Kabukicho, boasting exceptional popularity. Additionally, the gap from working at a regular department store to suddenly entering a "different world" strongly captivated male readers. Another reason is the sense that she "instantly became a legend." By choosing an early conclusion through marriage and retirement and not maintaining a long-term public presence, she remains easily remembered as a "phantom of the Showa night."
The woman who bloomed in Showa-era Kabukicho, Yumiko Kumashiro. Her existence cannot be fully described within the framework of mere "eros." She embodied the heat and vulgarity of the night streets, the intersection of dreams and desires.──For the men who remember it, she still shines with a vivid light.
