Sara Kawamichi & Hina Kikuchi 4K Gravure Video – 4K Upscaling Club (Oct 25, 2024)

Hina Kikuchi is from Ibaraki Prefecture. She was scouted at 15 and won Miss Weekly Shonen Magazine at Miss Magazine 2020. From then on, her photobooks and magazine appearances sold out one after another, earning her the nickname "the sold-out queen of the Reiwa era." She has even been called "the Shohei Ohtani of gravure."

Recently she became an exclusive model for non-no, and her acting work has grown a lot, with the dramas "Oshi no Ko" and "Wingman" and the lead in the film "V.MARIA." On message boards, opinions are split about half and half between "I miss gravure-era Hina" and "She's really blossoming as an actress." Either way, it shows how many fans have followed her for a long time. Still, she does come back for the cover of Weekly Playboy, which makes her fans happy.

By the way, her special skills are the taishogoto (a Japanese string instrument) and kyudo (Japanese archery), and her hobbies are drawing and getting up early. That somewhat old-fashioned lineup for someone her age is another fun point. Comparing her fresh debut-era videos with her more mature recent look is a lot of fun.

Sara Kawamichi was born on February 14, 2005, and is from Chiba Prefecture. She belongs to N.D.Promotion and works mainly in gravure and acting. Until June 2023 she was active under the name "Sara Kurogane," so many people may know her by that name.

She first became widely known through the 2021 "Asagao" season of "Kyou, Suki ni Narimashita." (今日、好きになりました。). She says she loved streaming and being in front of people since junior high, and after the show brought her a wave of attention, she became an exclusive model for the gyaru magazine Ranzuki the following year. She made her gravure debut in Weekly Young Magazine in November 2022 and has since become a regular in gravure magazines, including the opening cover of Weekly FRIDAY and Weekly Playboy.

What she most wants to focus on, though, is acting. She keeps steadily studying acting and says she'd like to "play the lead in a school story." Recently she has appeared in the dramas "Kanojo ga Sore mo Ai to Yobu nara" and "Oshi no Ko," and you can feel her moving step by step toward her dream. She attended an online high school and was already working from her first year, so she never got to experience school festivals or sports days — perhaps that's part of why she longs to be in a school story.

In private she's crazy about her dog Oliver, and her favorite outing is going to Mother Farm together. She plays drums, piano, and even guitar, and wants to try violin next — she really loves music. Since turning 20 she reportedly runs 9–10 km every day "because drinking made me gain weight." This mix of honesty and discipline is part of her charm.
