Rui Shido Former Child Actress, to Debut in AV

Born in 1999, Rui Shido began her career as a child actress under the name Yuuri Rukawa at the age of 8. By age 11, she was appearing on an NHK educational program called Himitsu no Chika Rando.

However, her time in the entertainment industry came to an end as she chose to focus on her studies. She enrolled in university and eventually began working as a teacher at a preparatory school.

Now, here’s what’s being said online about Yuuri Rukawa. According to internet rumors, she received frequent comments from male students about having an “obscene” body, and that they found it hard to concentrate in her classes.

In 2023, she decided to quit teaching and pursued a career as a gravure idol. That’s when she adopted the stage name Rui Shido. She even posed in a bikini for FRIDAY magazine, which is published by Kodansha (known for famous manga titles).

Fast forward to 2025, and Rui Shido has now announced that she will make her adult video debut in a film produced by Muteki—a company known for casting people from the entertainment industry into AV roles. Muteki frequently recruits gravure idols, singers, models, and actresses from various fields to join the adult film scene.

Rui Shido officially announced her “retirement” from gravure modeling on March 13, 2025. This led many fans to suspect that she would transition into AV.

While some fans expressed sadness over the direction she chose, others were quite excited. Her debut film is set to release in June. So far, no explicit scenes have been revealed—only bikini photos have surfaced.
