Life and career
Kikuchi was born in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan on April 5, 1965.{{cite web|url=http://i-dic.dorachan.com/data?kkter_00|title=菊池 エリ - Kikuchi Eri|access-date=2007-03-19|publisher='Web I-dic' (Idol Dictionary)|language=ja|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011010104/http://i-dic.dorachan.com/data?kkter_00|archive-date=2007-10-11|url-status=dead}} She started as a fuzoku (sex industry) girl in hotels and soaplands and also made appearances in several underground pornographic films.{{cite web|url=http://xxx.xcity.jp/SHIN-TOHO/HISTORY/E_KIKUCHI/index.html |title=菊池えり (Kikuchi Eri) |access-date=2007-03-19 |publisher= xxx.xcity.jp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314080102/http://xxx.xcity.jp/SHIN-TOHO/HISTORY/E_KIKUCHI/index.html |archive-date=2007-03-14 |url-status=dead }} Her official AV debut was at age twenty in the video Beautiful D-Cup Girl, Sister L, released in September 1985 by CineMagic.{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060414163121/http://homepage3.nifty.com/kurokami/years/years_1985.htm|archive-date=2006-04-14 |url=http://homepage3.nifty.com/kurokami/years/years_1985.htm|title=1985|access-date=2007-07-21|publisher= AV 研究所 (AV Research Laboratory)|language=ja}} Kikuchi has been called the first adult video performer whose career was built around her exceptionally large breasts for that time in Japan. 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.{{cite book |last=Adachi|first=Noriyuki|title=アダルトな人びと (Adaruto na Hitobito/"Adult" People|year=1992|publisher=Kodansha|location=Tokyo|isbn=4-06-205546-5|page=50|language=ja}}
Kikuchi's pink film debut was with Million Film in their {{nihongo|Miss 20 Year-Old Momoko|ミス２０才 快感！百合子の本番}} in 1986.{{cite web |url=http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/person/p0072490.htm|title=菊池えり (Kikuchi Eri)|publisher= JMDB|access-date=2009-07-03|language=ja}} In August of the same year, she starred in a pink film for Shintoho Eiga, {{nihongo|Eri Kikuchi: Big Tits|菊池エリ 巨乳|Kikuchi Eri Kyonyu}}.{{cite web |url=http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/person/p0072490.htm|title=菊池えり (Kikuchi Eri)|access-date=2007-03-19|language=ja|publisher=Japanese Movie Database}} This film has Kikuchi playing "Eri", a nude model and AV actress who becomes romantically involved with her manager.
In 1988 she starred in one of Nikkatsu's last Roman Porno films, {{nihongo|Eri Kikuchi: Big Tits Blame|菊池エリ 巨乳責め|Kikuchi Eri: Kyonyuzeme}}, and in 1993 she would star in another theatrical Big-Bust title ({{nihongo2|巨乳熟女 本番仕込み}}), for Excess Films, Nikkatsu's post-Roman Porno line of theatrical softcore pornography.{{cite web |url=http://194.21.179.166/cecudine/fe_2002/eng/PinkEiga2002.htm|title=Vital flesh: the mysterious world of Pink Eiga|access-date=2007-02-19|last=Domenig|first=Roland|year=2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041118094603/http://194.21.179.166/cecudine/fe_2002/eng/PinkEiga2002.htm|archive-date=2004-11-18|quote=Excess is an offshoot of Nikkatsu, established in 1988 when Nikkatsu ended Roman Porno production.}} During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Kikuchi also appeared in a number of photobooks, mostly with the BDSM theme of rope bondage.{{cite web|url=http://urabon-navigator.com/profiles/n0478%26mode%3Dbooks|title=Eri Kikuchi 菊池エリ （菊池えり） Books|publisher=Urabon Navigator|access-date=2013-10-30|archive-date=2013-11-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131101154941/http://urabon-navigator.com/profiles/n0478%26mode%3Dbooks|url-status=dead}}
