Shūkan Gendai

Shūkan Gendai

is a Japanese weekly magazine published since 1959 by Kodansha. Published simultaneously with "Weekly Post" (another weekly magazine published by Shogakukan), it includes articles about political scandals, sports and celebrities; nude photos; movie information; book reviews; and other articles of interest to middle-aged salarymen. Along with "Weekly Post", it is credited with coining the pseudo-English term "hair nude", meaning nude photography that shows pubic hair.

The magazine is probably best known outside Japan for its role in the scandal which led to Romanian gymnasts Corina Ungureanu, Lavinia Milosovici and Claudia Presecan being banned from competing or coaching in their home country for five years, as it was the first to publish images from their nude photobook and DVDs, which controversially featured the gymnasts wearing their official leotards.
