She was "ero-kawaii" since 2004 and as I remember she used that term in interview for a magazine. She was asked about her cute but sexy image and her response was "it's ero-kawaii". I do believe "ero-kakkoii" was born a bit later and started to be used in fashion magazines to describe sexy photoshoots of models (but it's possible that Kuu used that term first to describe her photoshoot).
