In 1989, Hashimoto performed in two "pink film" projects for director Masahiro Kasai and Cinema Ark. The first was the supernatural themed "Abnormal Excitement: Nao Saejima" in October, which won Best Film of the year at the Pink Grand Prix ceremony. Then she appeared in the November 1989 release "", part of the long-running "Molester's Train" series. Hashimoto took one of the Best Actress awards for 1991 films at the Pink Grand Prix for her starring role in "The Masturbating Lesbians", which was directed by Yutaka Ikejima and distributed by Xces. In the six years from late 1985 to the end of 1991, Hashimoto appeared in at least 90 films, many of them for the Shintōhō Eiga studio. This was a period of crisis for the "pink film" industry largely caused by the advent of adult videos in Japan and Hashimoto was known as "the last pink actress" (), with the meaning that she was likely to be the last successful actress in the genre. In November 1992, Hashimoto had a featured role in a mainstream film, the superhero comedy , and in 1995 she had a small role as a reporter in the video (and later film) Weather Woman for director Tomoaki Hosoyama, with whom she had earlier worked in Lesbian Harem. Hashimoto had retired from the "pink film" scene but returned in September 2002 when she once again teamed up with director Yutaka Ikejima in his "" where she played Akino, a delivery health girl (call girl). In November 2003, she starred in another "pink film", "Lesbian Mother-in-Law: Son Exchange" with Motoko Sasaki. Hashimoto also resumed work in adult videos in 2002 co-starring with Madoka Ozawa and Yumika Hayashi in the Moodyz production "Shitamachi Mixed Bathouse Story". Then from 2009 to 2012, she appeared in five videos for Attackers (including two entries in their "Slave Castle" series), all directed by Shinichi Kawamura.
