Momonogi Kanna - The Angel's Epic Takedown of Yua Mikami!
In the picture above, this person's height is 153cm, named Matsudori Manma, which is the pre-weight loss version of Momoi no Kanna. She first debuted in 2015, born on Christmas Eve in 1996, with a body type that's cute but a bit chubby. Unfortunately, Teacher Matsudori didn't get many opportunities to let audiences appreciate her charm, and she gradually faded from the adult industry.
However, she has a strong inner self, so she started an inspirational weight loss comeback story. In half a year, Teacher's weight dropped by 10 kg, and her body and appearance now possess the qualities of a big star, once again proving that fat people are all potential stocks.
In 2017, Teacher Matsudori debuted again from IP agency, around the same time as Teacher Takahashi Seiko, and during this low period in the industry, it can be said she brought several breezes of spring to the industry. In the same year, she won the Adult Broadcasting Newcomer Award, and at that time, she changed her name to a nicer one—Momoi no Kanna.
As a member of the Musk Melon Grapes, one of her big loves is idols, and Teacher's favorite idol group is Nogizaka46, with top picks being Nishino Nanase and Saito Asuka. Her otaku traits for idols probably rival those of fans like Shiina Sora and Mikami Yua from the Morning Musume family.
In her personal life, Teacher's biggest hobby is probably eating, given her 20 years of experience as a chubby person. On her social media platforms, almost half the content is about food, which made me hungry when I was searching for pictures—might as well throw in a few likes to make up for it.
She once set a record by eating 100 gyoza in an hour and absolutely loves Ramen Jiro, having eaten at 39 of their shops in 2019.
Now, let's talk about some lesser-known trivia about Momoi no Kanna:
One: She directly defeated Mikami Yua.
In 2017, she won the prestigious Adult Broadcasting Award for "New Actress," tearing up on stage. Nominees at the time included Mikami Yua and Mukai Ai.
Two: Second debut.
Online detectives carefully analyzed her facial features and details (like the mole on her left cheek), discovering she had previously performed under the name "Matsushima Manma," though her works didn't perform well back then.
Three: Weight loss expert.
During her "Matsushima Manma" era, her figure was a bit plump, so agencies promoted her with the "curvy" angle. But that market is niche, so it sank without a trace.
Six: The steamed bun incident.
In 2018, while taking the Shinkansen, she was in a hurry and started eating in the "food-permitted" car, but worried the strong smell of the buns might bother other passengers, so she put a plastic bag over her head.
Afterward, the photos went viral online. Momoi no Kanna said, "This was more embarrassing than I expected." eagle-eyed netizens even identified the brand as "Osaka specialty 551 pork buns." Thanks to this, her popularity unexpectedly skyrocketed.
Seven: Running across the country, checking in at her favorite ramen spots.
Momoi no Kanna is a huge ramen fan, especially the famous Ramen Jiro chain. She once ate at every Jiro branch across Japan in a single year, taking photos and checking in at each one.
Eight: The secret to maintaining her figure.
Even though she loves eating, Momoi no Kanna won't eat anything the day before a shoot to show her best self on camera.
Ten: Unlimited potential.
Before debuting, she had already become a member of the industry's biggest idol group "Shin Ebisu Musk Melon Grapes," alongside popular actresses like Mikami Yua and Hasaki Miharu, showing her immense potential and industry recognition.
Twelve: Her favorite Hong Kong convenience stores.
In 2018, during a trip to Hong Kong, she posted a photo on Instagram of food from a 7-Eleven, raving about the siu mai and sausages, and praising the store staff for being very polite.
Thirteen: Boyfriends don't have to be Japanese?
Momoi no Kanna has publicly said that Hong Kong guys are her ideal type. "Because they're willing to eat on the streets," so they can go strolling together.
Fifteen: Independent personality.
She describes herself as straightforward and independent, able to handle things like makeup and hairstyling all by herself.
Eighteen: Music maven!
She recently founded the rock band "MOMOROCK" and declared her ambition to challenge Mikami Yua's status, since Mikami has her own K-pop group "Honey Popcorn."
