About Marina Matsumoto

Biography and Career
Marina Matsumoto (born June 9, 1969) is a former Japanese adult film actress and current media personality. A native of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, she stands 158 cm tall with measurements of 82-59-85 cm (C-cup). She is widely celebrated for her fair skin, slender physique, and a youthful smile that complements her "mature woman" (jukujo) charm.

Early Life and Initial Debut
After graduating from junior high school, Matsumoto worked at a beauty salon. She made her industry debut in 1988 at the age of 19, appearing in the Uchuu Kikaku omnibus production THE Sailor Suit 4. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, her popularity transcended the adult industry: Music: At the personal request of Keisuke Kuwata, she starred as the heroine in the music video for Southern All Stars' "Megamitachi e no Jouuta." Television: She became a familiar face on variety shows like Tamori Club. Acting: In 1989, she gained significant attention starring in the live-action adaptation of the manga Kyonyu Hunter.

First Retirement and Family Life
In 1990, at the age of 20, Matsumoto retired from the industry to marry. She spent the next two decades living a quiet life as a housewife and raising her son. However, her husband’s later illness led to a sexless marriage—a situation she credits with awakening a new sense of sexual discovery through an outside relationship, eventually paving the way for her return to the screen.

The 2011 Comeback
In 2011, after a 21-year hiatus, the 41-year-old Matsumoto made a high-profile return to the industry. Her comeback film was a major success, selling over 3,000 copies and positioning her at the forefront of the "mature woman" boom. Unlike her earlier career, her second stint featured almost no taboos. She moved beyond standard scenes into hardcore genres, including SM, lesbian, and anal themes. Working with major labels like Madonna and Tameike Goro, she earned critical acclaim for her performances in "mother-in-law" and "neighbor" themed dramas. Her status as a top-tier performer was solidified by a nomination for the Mature Actress Award at the SKY PerfecTV! Adult Broadcasting Awards.

Second Retirement and Current Activities
On June 9, 2019—her 50th birthday—Matsumoto announced her second retirement. She cited several factors for leaving the industry, including physical limitations, her son’s graduation from college, and reaching a milestone age. Following her retirement, she opened a karaoke bar in Ginza called "Lounge Tomo." Around 2022, she relocated to the countryside to care for her parents.
