Photography by SM master Norio Sugiura-Yoko Takahashi & Keiko Kaga

Yoko Takahashi, a famous Japanese actress, is known for her innocence and cuteness. However, before she became famous, she had a little-known dark history. In the 1980s, Yoko Takahashi took a series of SM photos, the scale of which was staggering. These photos were later included in Japanese SM master Norio Sugiura's photo album "SM World". In the photo, Yoko Takahashi is tied tightly with ropes, and her body is in a humiliating posture. There was both fear and excitement in her eyes. Norio Sugiura used light, shadow and composition to perfectly combine the beauty and sex of Yoko Takahashi to create a unique SM aesthetic. These photos caused an uproar at the time and cast a shadow over Yoko Takahashi's image of a pure and beautiful girl. However, she also gained more attention and successfully transformed into a powerful actor. Today, Yoko Takahashi is over fifty, but her charm is still there and she is still active in the entertainment industry. She no longer avoids talking about that period of SM photo history, but openly admits that it was an unforgettable experience for her.
