Saaya Irie is a Japanese child model and a member of a Japanese
musical group called Sweet Kiss. However, she is more well-known
for her provocative poses in bikinis.
In May 2005, her pictures were posted on a Chinese forum by a third
party, along with a message pleading for better bilateral relations
between China and Japan. Tabloid stories soon followed with raunchy
headlines like "Busty 11-Year-Old Girl with F Cup Eases
Cross-Strait Relations".
(An F cup in Japan is roughly equivalent to a C-D cup in the United
States.) Her bikini pictures soon received widespread distribution
over the World Wide Web. In the aftermath of this incident, her
manager has said they will refrain from having more bikini
photoshoots of Saaya.
