Konatsu (向夏?) is a Japanese pink film actress. She has appeared in award-winning pink films, and was herself given a "Best Actress" award for her work in this genre in 2005.

Life and career

Konatsu was born in Japan's Nagano Prefecture in 1982.[2][3] After graduating from junior college, she moved to Tokyo where she worked in the beauty industry and did some gravure modeling in 2003.[3] She made her acting debut in the July 2004 V-cinema production Forbidden Fruit (禁断の果実 Kindan no kajitsu?) directed by Yuji Tajiri.[3][4]

Konatsu had her film debut in director Mototsugu Watanabe's Beppin kyōshi: toiki no aibu (べっぴん教師 吐息の愛撫?) (2004).[2] Her first leading role was later that same year, in Mitsuru Meike's Bitter Sweet.[2][5]

January 14, 2006, the premiere date of Shinji Imaoka's Paid Companionship Story: Girls Who Want to Do It (援助交際物語 したがるオンナたち Enjo-kōsai monogatari: shitagaru onna-tachi?) aka Frog Song, was also Konatsu's birthday. The director and staff presented Konatsu with a surprise birthday cake on stage at the occasion.[6][7] The film was named the best pink release for 2005, and Konatsu was given the award for Best Actress for her performance.[8]

She gave birth to her first child in February 2007 and as of 2011 was working for a "well-known clothing company".[3]
