About Reiko Makihara

Profile and Career
Reiko Makihara (born September 14, 1964) is a prominent Japanese adult video (AV) actress and former stripper from Tokyo. Standing 157 cm tall with measurements of B85 (B-cup), W58, and H88 cm, she is known for her B-type blood personality and enduring popularity. As a central figure in the rise of the "mature" (jukujo) genre, she has been celebrated for her sophisticated beauty, refined sex appeal, and intense, passionate performances.

Career Summary
Reiko Makihara’s career began in the mainstream media as a gravure idol. Under the stage name Reiko Nakayama, she was featured as a "Gekisha Girl" in the magazine GORO and appeared in several V-Cinema (direct-to-video) productions. In June 1992, she transitioned to the stage, debuting as a stripper at the renowned Rock-za theater, where she performed for six years.
Following her diverse background in gravure and stripping, Reiko Makihara made her AV debut in 1998 at the age of 33. Her first release, titled 31-Year-Old Shy Debut (Crystal Video), was a major hit. Despite entering the industry later than most, her sophisticated charm resonated with audiences, positioning her as a pioneer of the first "mature actress" boom during an era dominated by younger performers. Director Goro Tameike often cites her as a symbolic figure of this movement.
After a brief retirement in 2002, she made a high-profile comeback in August 2008 with the label Madonna. Her return showcased even more refined technical skills, earning her the Excellence Award in the Mature Actress category at the 2009 AV Grand Prix. Her active career continued until around 2016, when she gradually began to step back from the spotlight.

Characteristics and Performance Style
Makihara is noted for maintaining a remarkably slim and well-proportioned physique well into her 50s, a testament to her dedication to fitness. While she has aged naturally, her seasoned acting ability, technical prowess, and assertive eroticism have more than compensated for any changes in physical firmness. Interestingly, she is known for being unable to "squirt," which is considered a rare trait among top actresses in the mature genre.
While she maintained strict boundaries early in her career, she later became more flexible, performing in scenes involving Black co-stars and adopting the trend of shaved pubic hair. However, she has consistently maintained a "hard no" policy regarding the following: Anal sex Scat/Coprophilia, Extreme S&M, Facial cum shots, Transgender (shemale) scenes. Note: According to industry anecdotes, Makihara had her first sexual experience at the age of 16.
