Life and career

Using other stage names, including nihongo|Mai Akimoto|秋本麻衣|Akimoto Mai, nihongo|Eriko Ishikawa|石川江梨子|Ishikawa Eriko and nihongo|Yumiko Hino|比野由美子|Hino Yumiko, Kikuchi started her adult entertainment career in soaplands.

Her official AV debut was in the video "Beautiful D-Cup Girl, Sister L", released in September 1985 by Cinemagic.cite web |url=http://homepage3.nifty.com/kurokami/years/years_1985.htm|title=1985|accessdate=2007-07-21|publisher= [http://homepage3.nifty.com/kurokami/index.html AV nihongo2|研究所 (AV Research Laboratory)] ] Kikuchi has been called the first adult video performer whose career was built around her exceptionally large breasts for that time in Japan.cite web |url=http://xxx.xcity.jp/SHIN-TOHO/HISTORY/E_KIKUCHI/index.html|title= nihongo2|菊池えり (Kikuchi Eri)|accessdate=2007-03-19|publisher= [http://xxx.xcity.jp/SHIN-TOHO/HISTORY/ xxx.xcity.jp/SHIN-TOHO/HISTORY] |language=English] The Big Bust genre, or nihongo|"Kyonyu Boom"|巨乳ブーム, which Kikuchi pioneered would be set "on fire" at the end of the 1980s with the debut of Kimiko Matsuzaka in 1989, and become established as a major genre of adult entertainment in Japan in the 1990s.
