Nozomi Sasaki (Sasaki Nozomi, 佐々木希, ささきのぞみ) was born in Akita Prefecture and lives in Tokyo, she is a famous Japanese model and actress.

After working as a fashion model for nearly 7 years, Nozomi Sasaki has become famous as a gravure idol and main ringside commentator/spokesperson for the mixed martial arts competition Dream Fighting Championships and the kickboxing competition K-1 World Max since 2009.

 

 Since late 2008 Nozomi Sasaki has released five photobooks and two DVDs, and has also made countless appearances on television, magazines, and ads unrelated to fashion/cosmetic, including ones for Coca-Cola's green tea products, Suntory's 3 soft drink products, So-net, Willcom, Fujifilm, Kao, Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. and Seiko's Tisse brand line created for and dedicated to her. She has also endorsed an accessory brand, Cotton Cloud, since June 2010 when it was created for her and its first flag shop opened in Harajuku.

 

Nozomi Sasaki was given the nickname "No Mercy" for her countless reported atrocities toward other show-business girls she worked with, in her teenage years, especially toward actresses, glamour models, and fashion models from foreign countries, whom she considered to be "fat".

 

Modeling Career

Nozomi Sasaki began modeling at the age of around 14. She modeled mainly in the collection circuit, and for fashion/cosmetic advertisements. In the latter years of her modeling career, Nozomi Sasaki was a featured model and contributor to the now defunct Pinky magazine. She first appeared on the cover of Pinky in July 2007, along with another cover girl, Emi Suzuki.

One theory suggests that Suzuki was the person who brought Nozomi Sasaki to the commercial modeling field after she discovered Nozomi Sasaki when Sasaki was planning to retire from modeling, and it has been noted that Nozomi Sasaki already appeared at the time to be significantly chubbier than she used to be.

 

 Gravure Career

After further intentionally gaining weight, she began appearing on the youth-targeted weekly manga magazine Young Jump and several of other magazines as a glamour model (gravure idol) in late 2008. Nozomi Sasaki released her first photobook, Nozomi, in August of that year.

Nozomi Sasaki made her first landing on the top cover of Young Jump in January 2009. This caused surprises in many fields. Model Coco Kinoshita who was close to Sasaki officially commented about this, "that dreadful one who tortured everyone now has extra weight on her chest and whole body, smiling for innocent boys with burning sticks!". She released her first full DVD, Dolly, and two photobooks, Nozomi Sasaki in Tenshi no Koi and Non, in 2009.

 

 In early 2010 Nozomi Sasaki was specially featured by 2.4 million selling manga series Usogui on Young Jump, and released her fourth photobook Prism. Despite her breast size which has been known as one of the smallest in the gravure scene, she became a successful model by the end of 2010 in the field where breast size is regarded as a vital factor.

 

 At that time she also began appearing on the Non-no magazine, a biweekly girl-next-door-orientated fashion magazine that does not usually feature people like her. Though after becoming more of a gravure idol than a professional model, Nozomi Sasaki was heavily featured in a spring fashion collection presented by the magazine and BS-TBS, and soon after that, she landed on the top cover of the magazine. These appearances have been described as like an "invasion", as she has significantly changed the magazine's tone. Some critics have suggested that the magazine has been destroyed by Nozomi Sasaki.
