Fans of Mrs Wide Open are going to be disappointed to hear that she has been arrested for causing a public nuisance.
Her real name is Asuka Sawamoto and although she said her age as 22, shes actually 30.
Via Sankaku Complex.

"ho ho ho" that's funny.

Serves her right though. She's should know better. Leave the pantsu flashin to real 22 yr olds. j/k

Seriously, what took the police so long to arrest her? Surely they must have noticed a woman spreading her legs in the middle of a street?

Or maybe they're fans of hers and they turned a blind eye.

Good news. Finally some good came out of the whole case.
Things like that can't and shouldn't be allowed in public spaces where children might be present.

And now she can spread wide open all she wants...

22? Haha, I can't believe anyone actually believed that. I think she even looks too good for 30. When I first saw her I thought she was in her mid 30's. I guess all the flashing leads to premature ageing.
