Contains adult themes: this story is about an adult-video performer’s crowdfunding project. Nothing explicit is described.
In brief: IdeaPocket performer Hinano Kanon’s first-anniversary crowdfund closed at ¥11,227,000 from 246 backers, 320.8% of its ¥3.5 million goal, per the project page. The money funds a backers-only second photo book and her first photo exhibition, Flower Mirage, Feb. 5–7, 2027, at Gallery Le Deco in Shibuya.
Hinano Kanon set out to raise ¥3.5 million. Her crowdfunding page on Hitotsunagi now shows ¥11,227,000, or 320.8% of the goal, from 246 patrons. That works out to an average of about ¥45,600 per backer, which is a lot of faith in a photo book.
The project marks one year since her debut with IdeaPocket on Sept. 9, 2025. Her agency, ACT, lists her birth date as April 3, 1999. The money pays for a self-produced second photo book for backers only, and for her first photo exhibition, Flower Mirage. Per the project page, it runs Feb. 5 to 7, 2027, at Gallery Le Deco in Shibuya, with entry at ¥2,000 a visit.
The project page explains the exhibition is not a random idea. Before she entered the business, she writes, a photo exhibition made her think:
私も、こんな風に綺麗に撮ってもらいたい。
(“I want to be photographed beautifully like this, too.”) And now, she writes:
今度は私が、誰かの心を動かす番です。
(“Now it’s my turn to move someone’s heart.”)
The last day was busy. Industry site av-jouhoukan reported the total stood at ¥8,768,000 at 1 p.m. on Oct. 31, Japan time, meaning about ¥2.46 million came in during the final half day. The site added that the result beat the ¥10 million she herself had been aiming for.
Throughout, Kanon has reviewed each milestone with a single name. On Oct. 21, she posted: “ありがとうございます⁉️小田和正すぎる” (“Thank you?! So Kazumasa Oda.”) On Oct. 31, as the total climbed, she posted again:
いや、ちょっと待ってくださいよこれどういう⁉️
え⁉️これまさに小田和正
ありがとうございます
すみません、混乱してるのでのちほど
(“Wait, hold on, what is this?! Huh?! This is exactly Kazumasa Oda. Thank you. Sorry, I’m confused, so later.”)

For more on how she got here, av-jouhoukan has a profile of her first year. For the rest of us, the takeaway is simple: ask for ¥3.5 million, get ¥11.2 million, and the only word that fits is Kazumasa Oda.
