Miki Sugimoto

Miki Sugimoto is almost inseparable from fellow 1970s Toei film star Reiko Ike. Both stared in numerous "sukeban" films throughout the 1970s and helped build a generation of "Toei porn". A fashion model and star of "Go Go Girl in All Night Fuji" (a Japanese TV program), she made her film debut in "Hot Springs Mimizu Geisha" (Onsen mimizu geisha (1971)) and was later known for her film "Zero Woman - Red Handcuffs" (Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs (1974)), one of the most over-the-top Japanese crime films of the 1970s. She left the film industry in 1978 to marry a former classmate-turned-businessman and become a nursery school teacher.
