Honda Hitomi 本田瞳 is Really recognizable. (At least if one watches AVs with an emphasis on married woman / cuckold / 3P/4P, where I learned to recognize her in an instant)
She’s spelling her new name Natsume Riho 夏目里帆. Not a character of the old performing name left.
The JAVLibrary didn’t pick up on the name change yet, to create a two-name hyperlink in the manner of, say, Ichiki Mahiro (Takeda Yume) . . .
And that’s the site I usually go to to learn all of an idol’s names thru their various name changes.
JAVTrailers too, has “Natsume Riho 夏目里帆” on a separate hyperlink, like she’s new.
As to why the re-debut/name change, the first thing(s) I looked at was/were her teeth. Honda Hitomi always seemed reluctant to smile, as a smile showed her somewhat distracting crooked teeth.
Trying to decide if Natsume Riho‘s teeth are straighter. . .
Sometimes the agency owns the actress’ name, hence if they switch agency, they are forced to rename if the agency decide to keep the name(for any reason including to spite the actress).
Seems it may not really mean a career name-change at all. . .
Bet every idol tagged by the site with the name in the title of this series (like Natsume Riho here) has just one movie tagged on that actress hyperlink – forever.

This was/is Hitomi Honda. Guess she rebranded with a new name. I wonder why any AV star would redebut with a new name.
That’s bizarre

It’s just a marketing trick, I believe. My guess is she’ll keep using the Honda Hitomi name in next releases.

I don’t think its a long-term rebranding
I noticed that many idols use a one-time different name when appearing in a JUTA label movie in this series Ultimate!! ** Wife’s First AV Undressing Documentary
For example
[JUTA-163] Premium!! First nude AV documentary of a thirty-something housewife Sugihara Chisato starring Mizuhata Asami
[JUTA-161] The ultimate!! 30-something wives debut in AV Fujii Chika starring Miyanishi Hikaru
[JUTA-159] Exquisite!! Thirty-something wife’s first undressing AV documentary Ayaka Oshima starring Tsukino Kasumi
[JUTA-156] Best!! Thirty-something Wife’s First Nude AV Documentary, Shiori Yuki starring Tomaru Azumi
[JUTA-153] The best!! Forty-year-old wife’s first nude AV documentary, Fumino Tachibana. starring Kichi Shino
