Japanese Bikini Idol, Aki Hoshino

Japanese Bikini Idol, Aki Hoshino (4)

Aki Hoshino (Hoshino Aki, ほしのあき, 星野亜希) has been nicknamed "The Eternal Girl" (eien no shoujo) for her young looks. Her work in gravure increased heavily in 2004 with both photobooks, DVDs, and TV appearances. Overexposure proved to be good for Aki's popularity and she gained many fans.

After getting more acting jobs in 2006, Aki began to use the kanji spelling of her name (星野亜希). The hiragana spelling (ほしのあき) is still used for variety programs on TV and her gravure work. Even now, nearing the age of 30, Aki still looks in her early 20s and will continue to be nicknamed "Eternal Girl".
