Yurie Ijima

Found some older pics of Yuri, she was one solid FBB in her day:




Not sure what year this one was from but looks to be when she started and before she really started packing the muscle on:



Couple of current shots of her, she apparently is into her artwork now:

Thanks and K+ for all those Yurie's pics, she's definitively my all-time favorite Japanese FBB. Never seen those before, really amazed by the B&W ones.

She started getting serious mass by the time she went pro. I remember seeing a video of her during the 1985 Japanese Nationals with a solid physique but not as thick and shredded as she would be in the 90s.

She was always a controversial figure in the Japanese Women's BB but a real contender on the international stage with numerous Jan tana appearences throughout the 90s. A proto, female version of Hidetada Yamagishi if you wish !

Why was she controversial in Japanese BB? More muscular than most at that time?

Yes, that was about it.
