Big breasts win verdict for Japanese pin-up

A Japanese pin-up model says that her big breasts have not only boosted her career - they also helped her overturn a court verdict.

The bikini model, who goes by her professional name Serena Kozakura, was cleared after a court decided she was too well-endowed to squeeze into a room through a hole, as she had been found guilty of earlier.

"I used to hate my body so much, but it was my breasts" that won in court, she said.



The case was splashed through the Japanese media yesterday with the Asahi network even inviting her to demonstrate how she could not fit through the opening.

Kozakura, 38, was convicted last year of property destruction after a man said she kicked in the wooden door of his room and crawled inside, apparently because he was with another woman. Kozakura had said the man made the hole himself.

In her appeal, the defence counsel held up a plate showing the size of the hole and said that she could not squeeze through with her 110-centimetre (44-inch) bust. Tokyo High Court presiding judge Kunio Harada agreed and threw out the guilty verdict, saying there was reasonable doubt over the man's account.
