Rio Tina Yuzuki 柚木ティナ

Hello JAV lovers. I absolutely had to do the world a service and give homage to a retired JAV legend. I feel it's my duty to spread awareness of the one and only Rio. Yes, this is Rio, also known as "Tina Yuzuki." Welcome all existing JAV fans, and for those of you who already know Rio, you already know how special she is. If you're new here, that's okay too. We all have to discover models sometime. To the newbies, I ask you to take one look at this face.
The first time I saw one of her release covers, I never clicked so fast before. I imagine my reaction to seeing Tina for the first time was exactly like millions of others. Which of course was WHO IS SHE? No, really Who the FUCK is that? .....and how have I never seen her before? If you were lucky enough to follow Rio from her debut, I envy you. Generally speaking, how lucky are we that this goddess entered the world of JAV? Rio not only tried it out but went all in one hundred and ten fucking percent and is featured in hundreds of films. Her career spanned over a decade, I respect that very much!
In my opinion, Rio without a doubt has one of the best faces in JAV. Tina is half Japanese and half Portuguese. This is what I call obviously winning the genetic lottery, receiving the best of both worlds. Please look for her picture albums, there are some still out there for sale. Hey, only the really cute and special JAV stars get albums right? It's no surprise Tina has released so many.
Rio's looks have changed has from her debut through the years. She started out with a very adorable chubby looking face. Tina's debut is "Hot Wind", as a 19-year-old. And she became even more beautiful. I personally prefer her in later years with her more mature face.
Tina throughout her all releases always had a fucking fresh face and body, I love her. Note apart from this unbelievable fucking face, we get to witness her tight lender body. Rio is always very vocal and enthusiastic and extremely passionate in all of her scenes and titles. Tina speaks in a more adorable way as well, I find it extremely cute and feminine. I could just listen to that all fucking day.
On to my selections. As you can obviously imagine, like most popular JAV models, there are way too many titles to even begin to list. There are just too many to do this JAV legend justice. So this is my personal top 10 favorite list, as I tried my very best to show a variety of themes and styles.
Top 10
10. XV-777 Stuck Rio Under Circumstances Of Not Being Able to Make Any Noise
I just have to say again, I can't believe how fucking hot Rio is. I lose it just looking at her fucking face alone. I could just stare at her movie covers. Now I love this video because it offers what I love, kinky situations. This is as close to a "hold the moan" release as I could find for Rio, my favorite kind. I picked this release alone for the remote control scene in the fast-food establishment. I can't get over how hot she looks in this scene. She gets teased and she squirms around and eventually gives an awesome blowjob with the toy still buzzing.
Another scene worth checking out is at the beginning where Rio is on the phone and using toys. Maybe that's too old of a JAV/Porn situation, but it's still sexy. Anytime Rio is trying to concentrate while her pussy is worked is sexy. There are great situations in this, I especially loved where she was giving head under the table to a guy sitting at the bar. Rio is featured fucking around in an elevator and convenience store as well. Six perfect scenes in this release, I am very impressed by it.
9. SRXV-444 Sports Girl Tina Yuzuki
This might be one of the cutest things I have even seen. I mean, ever. From Western Porn to all of JAV. I am never EVER disappointed by anything by Max-A studios. I normally don't go for anything specifically really sports-related in JAV, but this is straight-up legendary. As you can tell by the cover, Tina is fucked while "participating" in a wide range of cute sporting events. I want to point out right away, this release is so much more than the fucking. We truly get to see Rio act and have an immense level of fun that I'm not sure any other JAV has ever had. I recommend this release for many reasons, but even for its use of outdoor scenery/locations alone. We get to see some of Tina's cutest work ever! For example, each scene is somewhat story-based, not just gonzo style where everyone in the party is wearing the costumes and starts fucking.
Let me explain what I mean. The first scene, after the fucking adorable intro that is, is a swimming competition. OMG, she looks amazing. So during a swimming race, the man cheats and distracts her with all sorts of fucking. Not just missionary, but it's all angles and positions you'd want to see an adorable Rio in. Then with her all exhausted right after all the fucking and cumshot, the lucky dude gets back into the water to win the race. Meanwhile, Tina is adorable throwing a fit. These scenes cannot be replicated, it's such a pleasure to watch. All of the scenes have their own little story to go with the excellent fucking.
Another scene that is similar is the baseball scene. I almost fainted it was that ridiculous in cuteness. Tina comes up to the bat and does all these fake running movements, and throws these fucking cute fits here and there the entire time. All during the segment she is fucked with toys and used like a cheap sex object. She makes you feel bad for her during these fake sporting events even, that is the power of her cuteness overload. It's like watching your favorite JAV star cry, you just melt. That is what watching this is like for me.
This release goes above and beyond in fulfilling tons of fantasies. Whether it's watching a gymnast in a tight girly leotard use a vibrator, or Martial arts cutie get fucked wearing the uniform, it is sexy as hell. Now again, a quick note, like anything from MAX, this is very theatrical, therefore any element of realism doesn't exist here. But again, that's the point! This is a 110% must for any JAV sports fans, and for all Tina fans. I'm very thankful to have watched this and own this release. They don't make releases like this anymore!!
8. IPTD-767 Office Lady On a Train With Perverts
Here is a more mature-looking Rio, my favorite look on from her. Everything about this release is great, it's super HD clear, and Tina couldn't look better in a tight skirt as a sexy office worker. Two things stood out to me about this release personally. One is the fact that Rio in this really looks like a real secretary/professional woman in the workplace. What I am saying, is that this is vastly different from the previous entry obviously. Instead of watching a fresh-faced Tina swinging a bat in front of a green screen, this is quite the fucking contrast.
This movie almost takes itself so seriously! This is a good thing for the story. The second thing that I am obsessed with was Rio's incredible masturbation scene. Tina is riding the subway and ends up with a cum stain on her tight skirt from a pervert, which is a masterpiece in itself to watch. But again, I am a sucker for masturbation scenes. Especially when a story and acting are involved. So Rio gets home and acts like she is disgusted by the dried cum on her skirt and tries to clean it with a tissue.
Then she slowly gets curious and turned on, and brings the tissue to her face. Then she puts it on her pussy and brings out some crazy-looking toys. She ends up fucking herself with two toys at once and squirting everywhere, all while inhaling the scent of the cum-stained tissue. One of the hottest scenes I have even seen in JAV. Thank you, Rio. The rest of the release is as high quality as you expect. Endless awesome fucking scenes of Rio, great for fans of OL and especially for JAV fans of public fucking on trains.
7. XV-585 Continuous Climax Ecstasy Fuck
Choosing this release was a no-brainer. Personally, I think this contains Rio's best POV dildo performance of all time. It truly is one you have to see for yourself. I have watched a lot of solo POV dildo fucking from Rio, and this one stands out because the passion and realism of this scene are unmatched. It makes other scenes POV dildo scenes seem like she is going through the motions and it's just a "performance." But this one to me really seems like she is fucking your dick. Not just fucking, but giving a sexy footjob (which isn't even my style), blow job, and cumming on it. It's hot as fuck, trust me.
And if that wasn't enough, the ending scene is what sells this also. Rio is wrapped up in shiny PVC red tape, it's the kinkiest thing I have ever seen. Saying Tina here is really fucked hard by two lucky guys here is an understatement. Hands down, it is the hottest threesome scene I have seen by Rio, and she even keeps on the kinky ensemble, all while whimpering the cutest most feminine moans you ever heard. Dam, this is a good one.
6. XV-817 I Was Thinking of Getting An AV to Watch and the Store Clerk Was Rio
This release is very unique, I love this one. I always love niche themes and scenarios, and here of course we see Rio as a video store girl. It's cute and nerdy, and it's nice to see Tina in this setting for some reason. She seems overly happy here, I don't know why! It's almost like she's truly a dork nerdy geek and this is more her style and she's happy to entertain this theme? I don't know, but something is working where Rio seems to be very comfortable and natural in this. This is extremely obvious, but this is a great release if you have a glasses fetish, which I do too. I have seen many MANY JAV releases that take place in a Porn shop like this. The shops all look the same, I wonder if in many times it is. And Rio just destroys the competition, in that she's the best looking I feel. There's something awesome about watching Tina suck off a customer, like these are her people. JAV fans. Just how light and bubbly she is, adds to the non-judgemental, all-perverts-welcome atmosphere.
Plenty of great fucking in this too, and of course my favorite a remote control vibrator that is switched on while she is working the counter and face to face with customers. This remote control vibrator scene really makes me question if those are real customers she is around while she is being vibed. In my opinion, fuck yeah they are. On a side note too, right by her counter is a wide selection of her DVDs on display for sale!
And with her adorable little disguise of a beret and glasses, no one seems to notice. How could they not notice? She just fits very well in this scenario, something is definitely working. It's almost like you can picture she once worked as a video store girl in real life. She brings the fantasy to life in a way that you truly imagine meeting a girl at a JAV store that looks like her. Like a girl next door feeling? It just doesn't feel like "here's a JAV star working at a video store." It's so much more than that! This is an understatement to say, it's another must-have for Rio fans.
5. XV-566 Paradise
The name says it all. The location and theme is a tropical Caribbean setting, and it's obviously a vacation with the cutest JAV star on the planet. I chose this one because it obviously stands out due to its atmosphere. But also because of its vibe and feel. This release isn't the most hardcore fucking I have ever seen, but it's not some softcore sensual fucking bore either. The fucking scenes offer plenty of positions, with vibrators and everything. It's a perfect in-between. Another reason I selected "Paradise," is because out of all the Rio releases I have watched, this one has the most "Girlfriend" feel ever in my opinion. It's really about just you and her, and the fucking scenes even reflect that. So this is great if you get tired of "gonzo" type studio scenes of just her on a bed getting fucked. She's very very playful in this, and again just has a great personal feel to it.
The release comes with many scenes too, which I always appreciate. The solo scenes are unique and I recommend them very much. For example, there is a segment where Tina is alone in a room with fruit and ends up fucking herself with a banana. Banana fucking is pretty standard and maybe even old school? But with Rio, you cherish every moment of it. Another solo scene is her bathtub masturbation scene with a vibrator.
From the sounds of it, it seems like nothing special. But with Tina, I just couldn't look away, she's so fucking hot. She just has something that thousands of other JAV stars could never have, and I am still trying to figure out what that is. If I saw this vibrator bathtub scene with hundreds of other models, I would be bored as fuck. Not here. Not with Rio, not ever. Tina never disappoints and this is a cute change of scenery that she does with perfection and as always leaves you wanting MORE DAMMIT.
4. SOE-030 20 Costumes
I know, we have all seen these before in JAV. Unless you're new to JAV, then I envy the fact that you are just discovering this for the first time. These seem pretty standard, and I wish every JAV star would still do these types of releases. Why don't they? Seriously I am asking, does anyone know? This just had to make my list, because Rio is like a perfect fucking doll, and you just want to dress her up in as many costumes as possible. I think it's good to watch her in this because you can find what costume you want to see Rio in the most. From here you can pursue actual whole JAV features based on that.
For example, Rio has put out multiple one theme releases such as Maids, office lady, teacher, race queen, nurse, etc! I have to be honest too, I chose this also for just one scene that sticks out. Rio is a ballerina and gives you the remote control to her vibrator. And during her exercises, the button is pushed and we get to see her struggle. It's hot as hell, and she looks like such a princess already that this ballerina scene couldn't be better. She even has a pretty fancy crown in her hair, she's such a delicate feminine angel.
Every scene has a lot to offer, even though many are only blowjobs. There is a lot of production value and effort put into the quality of these various costumes and segments that go with them. There's even plenty of in-between skits between fucking scenes too! Dildo sucking scenes for example, which I fucking love. I ask you, how could you pass this up? There are just too many awesome moments in these to describe, please watch.
3. SUPD-077 Digital Channel
The first time I saw this, it really really REALLY made an impression. I know that may be an overused statement, but please hear me out. There is a scene in this release, that is one of my all-time favorites. Rio plays a super insanely hot cop. And it's not your average cop uniform. Yes, it is a porno version clearly, but it looks like it was made for Tina, and Tina was meant to wear this outfit. Shiny PVC pleated skirt, with a tied shirt to show her perfect stomach, fresh thick brown hair, I think her look here is the definition of the perfect hot chick. I mean Rio looks good in anything, but fucking hell.
Okay, back to the scene, where Rio is on a mission....to catch a citizen who pees on the floor outside the toilet in public restrooms it seems. It's a cute scenario already. This scene has is it all, from a foot job with her fishnet legs to a great position where the guy is up on the counter and is Tina is underneath licking ass. Rio goes out of her way to keep her hat on too during all this, I respect that. Dammit, she looks like a fucking doll, I would get hard staring at her just standing doing nothing.
This scene is almost too much to handle, and the ending is the best part. Rio takes a huge load on her face without warning, where she is fully surprised. The guy apologizes and runs out, and Rio is left in the room, can barely see, and throws a sexy cute temper tantrum over the cumshot. I'm just disappointed it's not longer with more positions, hell even an immediate masturbation scene would have worked after the guy left! All I can say is that it's just hot as fuck, please watch I beg you. If not, please let me know of a scene you find hotter than that, I would love to see it.
2. SRXV-365 Welcome to Max Cafe and XV-544 Renovation Unveiling!! Welcome to Max Cafe
This list wouldn't be complete with including the infamous Max Cafe that all the perfect dolls seemed to have done during that time period. The only reason this is higher on the list than the similar MAX sports release is obviously the variety you get with these types of releases. A thing I really enjoy about JAV, is the cute scenes in between each actual fucking scene. We get to see Rio in two types of a very glossy vinyl "fuck me" outfit in these titles. Of course, she talks cute, acts cute, and couldn't look any better seriously. Personally, seeing Rio in these in-between scenes even with no action is enough.
Max Cafe is the standard orange outfit, one of the best costumes I have ever seen in JAV, and it gets even better in Rio's return. Yes, it's a pink shiny PVC maid fucking costume, complete with a cute beret style hat. So in my opinion, the fucking scenes are just a bonus! Saying they are fantastic is a huge fucking understatement. Yes, you get the standard normal costumes like a nurse and race queen but also unique costumes that I really enjoyed. A downside is that we don't get to see any masturbation scene with Rio in either outfit (like Mihiro that I previously wrote about here https://www.zenra.net/blog/ramenbosss-mihiro-taniguchi-tribute one of my favorites). Not even anything where Rio is getting fucked in the outfit. HOWEVER, there are two moments in the second MAX release where Rio puts the viewer's hand POV style on her pussy and talks to you, the camera. I absolutely live for those moments.
Next, the one scene I want to point out is this second release also contains Rio's only known lesbian scene. Now, it's not the best thing I have ever seen. But when it's fucking Tina Yuzuki, I believe anything and everything is gold. It's almost like a "less is more" type of feeling for me. It's not very explicit or graphic. More like a sensual, "erotic" experience with some pussy licking and scissoring. Additionally, there is an interesting thing happening here too. At least I think so anyway. When the lucky other woman is on top of Rio on an inflatable bed, Rio looks awkward and uncomfortable with her back ass in her face. She's not exactly licking her cunt like a wild lesbian. It's kind of hilarious and ultimately adorable. You really get the vibe that Rio is 1. definitely not a true lesbian, or even fucking bi, and 2. not even enjoying it one second. But it's not enough to ruin the scene either. There's enough tongue action and moaning to make it enjoyable as more of a softcore scene. Of course, I wish it was serious jelly double dildo fucking, or some strapon on the action. Or just longer more raw longer pussy eating. But this is what we get. It is a must for any Rio fans.
1. IPTD-825 Secret Investigator - A Beautiful Agent is Dealt With Roughly and Falls to Pieces
My ultimate favorite release from the Goddess Rio, Tina Yuzuki. To those who didn't know, the "private investigator" and "secret agent" series is just awesome. Always top production quality in every aspect, and guaranteed great fucking scenes. Having that said, I think Rio's release is and always will be far superior. Tina really set the standard for JAV in general honestly. And this is no exception.
This title is crystal clear perfect quality. It's a later release, so we see a more SERIOUSLY gorgeous mature-looking Rio here, my favorite. It somehow fits perfectly here. I don't think her early cute face debut-era face would have fit this title! Every damn scene in this, hell every second, I am talking to myself about how hot she fucking looks.
I have to comment on the intro, I must. It's an action scene, we see Rio sneaking around outside some guarded warehouse. Tina shows off her martial arts skills and fighting. She's kicking some ass! Too cute. Tina never does the bare minimum when playing a role. Rio goes all in and is 110% committed, but also when you're watching her, you see how much fun she is having. It's a perfect balance of taking becoming the character and having fun with it.
I can't explain it, you have to see it! So Rio is wearing a fucking PVC/Vinyl catsuit, sneaking around, and gets caught. My favorite scene is where Rio is caught and gives a BJ to a lucky actor who has to pretend to not enjoy it. But not before she sucks off her own gun, it's sexy as fuck.
This release has it all, I fucking mean it. Rio is group fucked, tied, and fucked hard with sex toys, multiple BJ action, it's a work of art. Points for keeping the shiny Catsuit for most of the action too. Damn it, she fucking looks good getting fucked in that thing, I can't say it enough.
Conclusion:
I think Rio puts many other JAV models to shame. It's no competition, it makes me feel a little bad for the other actresses frankly. Like I mentioned before, some goddesses have multiple photo books out, and the rest well, lose I guess?! Rio effortlessly drives me wild, and everything she does on screen seems perfect. And amazingly, it's not just her gorgeous looks, it's her talent for JAV.
As I wrote before in my Mihiro entry, some models fit perfectly in this time period of JAV. During Rio's earlier releases, a time of fucking VHS, JAV was really theatrical and "playful" if that makes sense. What I wrote about Mihiro fitting in during that time perfectly, applies exactly the same to Tina in my personal opinion. I'm glad she did JAV when she did, and since it spanned so many freaking years, we are lucky to see all styles. There are just endless releases from Rio, please try and check out every single fucking one of them. How could you say no to that face?
The negatives of Rio's career are obvious. I wish there were a ton of lesbian releases. I would have liked to discover many more hardcore bondage titles. And also Anal. It's such a shame, she has such a nice tight asshole. FUCK! Every time I watch her, I feel so lucky to be watching her. This leads me to my next point, unfortunately, Tina Yuzuki releases are very difficult to find. It will always piss me off that Japan does this, but that is a different rant for another time. But it's not impossible. For example, Rio can be still be found here and there. Here are some listings I found:
PXV-097 Never Ending Squirting! The Best Of Non-Stop Cumming FUCK 8 Hours
Thank you for reading, and good luck finding her titles. I would love to hear your opinion on Rio/Tina Yuzuki and the impression she made on you. As always stay safe.
Comments
Hello, thank you! Rio acting ashamed is so fucking hot. I will try to include some of these works into the Rio tribute part 2!
Thank you very much for your comment, I apologize for the late reply. I feel you with experiencing the early days of the ol' internet. Yes, things are obviously different not now in terms of finding information on Rio, unfortunately just in time for new Tina fans to discover she is retired and the selling of her work on Fanza is discontinued.
Rioooooooooooo, Yes! Thank you for your comment! It's always, always appreciated. Never apologize, I believe the purpose of these blogs is to share opinions, including your favorite titles. It's good to spread awareness of this perfect beauty.
I decided to write another tribute (Part 2), to Rio and I hope to use some of these titles that you all have mentioned here. Feel free to mention more! I love her work so much, thank you all for your comments.
I know it's difficult, but if you all could pick only one RIO title to watch for the rest of your lives, what would it be? We are talking desert island type situation, I know one must come to mind right?
Before I go on and on......
Wow the cover of IPZ-073..............
Thank you all again.
Hello, okay I will definitely include some of these you mentioned here. I know many may disagree with this but my two go-tos are XV-544 and IPTD-825. But I have a PVC-Vinyl fetish, so seeing a xxxxx Tina wearing that stupid girly feminine pink plastic Max Cafe in XV-544 is something I watch almost daily (or at least have playing in the background). Same with the IPTD-825. Seeing her suck that dick and look super unhappy about it in her cute catsuit. And wearing the same catsuit all tied up. Rio's face + PVC-Vinyl. Thank you again for the listings!!
Thank you for the comment, I see those are both titles with shorter hair, she looks kinky as hell like that, it's absolutely incredible how perfect RIO looks all the time with any style. Also, I feel you with actual JAV storylines too, same with preference toward the second half of her career. Thank you all again.
Thank you for your comment! I think Rio is one of the faces you don't just like a little bit ofc, you become a superfan for life. I just looked up IPC-127, I'm speechless..............................
