El pecado de Oyuki (English title: Oyuki's sin, in Japanese Oyukiの罪) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Lucy Orozco for Televisa in 1988. It was based on an original same name comic book by Yolanda Vargas Dulché, who also adapted the screenplay for television. The comic tells the story of Oyuki, a young Japanese woman unfairly exploited by her evil brother. Her tragedy is intensified by falling in love with the son of the English ambassador in Japan, which triggers a series of obstacles in her path generated by the cultural shock.
The story was adapted for the telenovela format by Vargas Dulché and produced by Lucy Orozco for Televisa.
The world premiere of the telenovela was in the United States in 1987 through Univision with one hour episodes during primetime. It wasn’t until February 1988 when it premiered in Mexico also in primetime through El Canal de las Estrellas.
The main characters of the story were played by Mexican actress Ana Martín and Argentine actor Boy Olmi.
Thanks to the hard work of Lucy Orozco’s production team and the entire cast, the telenovela became one of the biggest successful projects by Mexican Television at that time, nationwide and also internationally.
In the early 1970s, in a small Japanese village, lives Oyuki Ogino (Ana Martín), a beautiful woman, good and honest, whose beauty and physical attributes are used by her ambitious brother Yutaka Ogino (Salvador Sánchez), who forces her to work as a Geisha and begins to exploit her.
Forced by her brother, Oyuki begins to work while men pay large amounts for her to entertain with her show. One of those men is Irving Pointer (Boy Olmi), a painter of English origin and the son of Sir Charles Pointer (Jorge Martínez de Hoyos), the ambassador of the United Kingdom in Japan. Irving begins to paint Oyuki and both end up falling in love, but Yutaka has other plans for his sister. He plans to marry Oyuki to Togo Fushoko (Yoshio), one of the richest men in Japan. Oyuki rejects Fushoko and unleash the fury of Yutaka. When Yutaka flees from justice after committing a crime, Oyuki can be together Irving. But Irving's mother, Lady Elizabeth (Martha Roth) denies that her son is related to a Japanese woman. Given the refusal of his mother, Irving decides to run away from home and marries Oyuki. The two manage to find happiness with the arrival of their first child, who was named Yuriko.
