**Jun Miho** (美保 純, *Miho Jun*; born 4 August 1960) is a Japanese [actress](/source/Actress).

## Career

Born in [Shizuoka](/source/Shizuoka%2C_Shizuoka), Miho worked at a department store and did some topless glamour modeling before debuting in the [Mamoru Watanabe](/source/Mamoru_Watanabe) directed [Nikkatsu](/source/Nikkatsu) [Roman Porno](/source/Roman_Porno) film *Uniform Virgin Pain* (*Seifuku shojo no itami*) in September 1981.[1][2][3] A few months later, she appeared in another *Roman Porno* film, *Koichiro Uno's Wet and Riding*, part of a long series of films from Nikkatsu based on the erotic novels of [Kōichirō Uno](/source/K%C5%8Dichir%C5%8D_Uno).[4][5] In July 1982, Miho starred in the first of Nikkatsu's *Pink Curtain* series of films. The three episodes in the series follow a brother and sister, trying to put their lives back together after the death of their parents, who fall into an incestuous relationship. According to *pink film* critics Thomas and Yuko Weisser, the controversial nature of the films made Miho an "*overnight sensation*" and paved the way to a career in mainstream film.[6] Miho won best newcomer awards at the [Japan Academy Prize](/source/Japan_Academy_Prize_(film))[7] and at the [Blue Ribbon Awards](/source/Blue_Ribbon_Awards)[8] for the *Pink Curtain* series.

Moving into mainstream roles, she became a regular in the [Tora-san](/source/Tora-san) film series, playing Akemi, the daughter of the printing shop owner. She has also appeared on television as both an actress and a commentator.[1] A long-playing role in television was the character of Yōko Hīragi, the lawyer daughter of Public Prosecutor Shigeru Hīragi, nicknamed "Red Turnip" (Akakabu). The mystery series began with a set of feature-length TV specials beginning in April 1990 with *Akakabu Kenji Funsenki* (*Prosecutor Red Turnip's Battle at the Court*) on [Asahi Broadcasting Corporation](/source/Asahi_Broadcasting_Corporation) and continued with two more shows in October 1990 and February 1991. These were followed by an 11-part TV series which ran January–March 1992 and then further TV specials after the TV series ended.[9]
