Well, you'd think that, but that's the name she provided to me, telling me it means "Beautiful child of Summer" in Japanese. Most models I work with don't like to use their real name for fetish modeling, and they provide me with their monikers. I sent "Natumi" some samples of her pics, including the comp card in this post, and she didn't correct me, so I went with it...
I did some research on this and even though Natsumi is a pretty common girl's name in Japan, it's also used for boys at times, and Natumi itself, although rare, is also used.
P.S. For whatever it's worth, Natumi is also the name of a German health drink.
P.S.S. I brought up the name issue with Natumi, and she has informed me that both spellings are acceptable, with older folks preferring the spelling with an "S" while the younger generations eschews that form...
