Reiko Ike (池玲子) is a Japanese pornographic actress, singer and entertainer.

She is best known for her roles in the genre of action/erotic movies known as, "[group_post 580422]".

Born 25 May 1953 in Tokyo, Japan, Ike's career was launched with the fourth entry in Toei's Hot Springs Geisha series, "Hot Springs Mimizu Geisha" (1971).
A media frenzy erupted following the release of this film when Ike claimed to have lied about her age to gain a part in the movie, claiming to have in fact been only 16-years-old when she starred in this soft-core sex film, Ike caused a scandal.
The publicity only served to make the film one of Toei's most profitable films of the 1970s.

Ike also released an album of songs in 1971, Kôkotsu No Sekai.

After a drug-related arrest, and another arrest for illegal gambling in the 1970s, Ike dropped out of the entertainment business.

In her third film, director Norifumi Suzuki's, "Modern Porno Tale: Inherited Sex Mania" (1971), Ike co-starred with French erotic actress, Sandra Julien.

Eirin, the Japanese film-rating board, objected to the graphic Lesbian scenes between the two actresses, and this film had to be severely cut before it could be released theatrically. Ike decided to stop performing in nude scenes after this film, concentrating instead on films in the Delinquent School Girl sub-genre of S&M films.

Ike starred in five of Toei's seven Sukeban (Delinquent School Girl) films made between 1971 and 1974.
Patrick Macias describes this series as, "Bare-chested, shotgun-packing chicks, Miki Sugimoto and Ike Reiko, getting into one cat-fight after another".

Ike also starred in all four of Toei's, "Terror Female High School", films made in 1972 and 1973.

Ike's later films would include appearances in Kinji Fukasaku's, "Battles Without Honor and Humanity" series and, "Graveyard Of Honor", and the second sequel to Sonny Chiba's, "The Street Fighter".

Yuko Mihara Weisser calls Ike one of the, "Icons Of Pinky Violence", and in a review of, "Sex and Fury" (1973), DVDManiacs called Ike, "The very epitome of the cinematic bad girl, playing her role with a sense of collected cool and tough attitude that can rival that of even better known North American tough gals such as, Tura Satana from 'Faster Pussycat .… Kill! Kill!', or Pam Grier, in 'Foxy Brown' ".

Reiko Ike was still in her late teens when she was "discovered" by Japan's Toei Studios (stories of her "discovery" are inconsistent, ranging from being scouted in a nightclub to being spotted as a model).

Along with, Miki Sugimoto, she was Toei's top sex star throughout the 1970s, and the focus of the "Sukeban" (female girl boss) phenomenon of 1970s Japanese cinema.

Beginning with, "Girl Boss Guerilla" (Sukeban gerira (1972), Ike made 12 films, almost all in the Pinky Violence/Yakuza Girl genre.

Despite real-life trouble with the law (being arrested once for drugs and once for illegal gambling), she worked throughout the decade appearing in at least two of Kinji Fukasaku's, "Battles Without Honor & Humanity" (1973 - 1979) series.

Her last film before disappearing from the public eye was, "The Golden Dog" (1979).

The bulk of her work was for Toei in 1973, when she appeared in the films, "Sex & Fury" (1973), "Girl Boss Revenge: Sukeban" (1973), "Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom" (1973), "Criminal Woman: Killing Melody" (1973) and, "Sex & Fury" sequel, "Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture" (1973).

This rush of films established her as a major sex icon in Japan and created a tabloid rivalry with fellow Toei contact player, Miki Sugimoto, who was her co-star in several films.

The recent reissues of, "Sex & Fury" and "Female Yakuza Tale", along with the release of a Pinky Violence box set, collecting her films, "Terrifying Girls School", "Criminal Woman" and "Girl Boss Guerilla", has rekindled her cult following.
