She is called alsoYinling of Joytoy (インリン・オブ・ジョイトイ), when she appears on television.[citation needed]
She began modelling at 16 and started working with photographer Hiraokanovsky Kuratachenko at 19, forming the duo JOYTOY. Kuratachenko is suspected to be in fact Japanese, but he is often labeled a Russian photographer.[1] Much of their work is politically themed, often infused with symbols and references tocommunism and theSoviet Union.[2] JOYTOY's campaign has been noteworthy for being overly sexual and provocative in nature. A notable example was an exhibit that was hosted in theNational Museum of History in 2004. The exhibit took the form of an anti-war and anti-prejudice art display of mildly erotic photography.[3]
In 2008, Yinling published an autobiography by the titleLOVE ERO-Terrorism/Yinling of JOYTOY.[4] In that same year, she provided the voice for Libido Waterfall, a tertiary character in video gameRyū ga Gotoku Kenzan! who was modeled after Yinling.[5]

She originally appeared under the heel alias "Yinling the Erotic Terrorist", but then appeared as a face, under the name Newling-sama (Mistress Newling), who was in storyline the Erotic Terrorist's daughter.
In 2007, a scandal resulted in Yinling being accused of having ties to theyakuza. Her management has denied the accusations.[6]
