Hayashi Yumika

[Aaron Gerow]

Pink eiga fans may be shocked to hear that the pink film actress 
Hayashi Yumika was found dead in her apartment on the 28th. She was 
only 35. Some of the evening papers, which treated this as front page 
news, said she had choked on her own vomit.

Hayashi appeared in a number of non-adult films as well as over 400 
pink films and AV videos, including a number of award winning works, 
for which she sometimes won the award. The documentary Yumika made by 
Hirano Katsuyuki was well received and opened in theaters.
