Yumeka Sasaki
Yumeka Sasaki is a popular Pink Eiga actress and is regarded as one of the most talented. Her trademark is a rose tattoo on her stomach. She was born in Hiroshima, Japan, on June 13th, 1972. She is 5’4” tall and weighs 42 kg (about 92 lbs.).
She won a beauty contest in Hiroshima that she entered to pit herself against her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. After working on TV shows and commercials, she became a Pink Eiga actress in 1998 with “Deme-King.” She didn’t know the production was Pink Eiga, instead, thinking it was V cinema (straight to video or DVD). But she was very interested in the genre because Pink Eiga films show something that mainstream films do not. She is great at portraying unyielding women and punk girls; however, she can also play a sensitive lady very well. She has a younger sister, Nikki Sasaki, who is also a Pink Eiga actress. They worked together in “Nurse Sisters” (directed by Osamu Sato).
She really loves her hometown of Hiroshima. On August 6th, the Memorial Day for the dropping of the atomic bomb, she spoke out with a message of peace and understanding.
She received a best actress award at the Pink Eiga Film Festival for “Twitch – You Are My Toy” (directed by Yuji Tajiri).
