Life and career Early Born October 20, 1948, in the Hakata ward of Fukuoka, Naomi Tani moved to Tokyo at the age of 18. After arrival in Tokyo, she was featured in a photo layout in ''Weekly Taishu / Popular Weekly'' (週刊大衆 - ''Shukan Taishu''). This appearance led to offers for roles in " Pink films", the low-budget, independent soft-core pornographic films which dominated Japan's domestic cinema at this time.
