Legendary Gravure Idol Asuka Kishi Celebrates 15th Anniversary with 5th Photobook 'Trajectory' After 5 Years!

Wani Books Co., Ltd. (Shibuya, Tokyo) will release 'Trajectory', the 5th photobook in 5 years by Asuka Kishi, who is active as a gravure idol and actress, on Friday, May 22, 2026. Since her gravure debut in March 2012, Asuka Kishi has been active in various fields, including appearing in movies and dramas as an actress and becoming a topic of conversation on variety shows. Celebrating her 15th anniversary this year, it has been decided that she will release her photobook 'Trajectory' for the first time in 5 years. For Kishi, who has continued to pursue the expression of gravure, she took on the challenge of her greatest exposure ever, with the determination that this will likely be her last photobook in her 30s. Kishi herself named it 'Trajectory', which means 'the path of life so far', also playing on the word 'kiseki' (miracle). The location shoot was held in Da Nang, Vietnam, for the first time, showcasing bold shots unique to a photobook, from cute swimsuit poses with bright smiles to glamorous lingerie shots, revealing her mature charm. Please look forward to the completion. Launch events will be held at Book 1st Shinjuku store in Tokyo on Saturday, May 23, and at Umeda Tsutaya Books in Osaka on Sunday, May 31.
