A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル, gurabia aidoru),
often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル, guradoru),
is a Japanese female model who primarily models on magazines —especially those marketed to men—,
photobooks or DVDs. Gravure idols, in most cases,
emphasize their sexiness or cuteness and often model in swimsuits.
Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres.
Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences.
Contrary to popular foreign belief,
gravure idols never appear fully nude in their photos
but their poses often can be labeled as semi-provocative.
