ピンプ without the kanji is in daijs. 
mentioned in the jawiki article on からゆきさん: "彼女たち
を海外の娼館へと橋渡ししたのは嬪夫(ぴんぷ)などと呼ばれた斡旋
業者、女衒たちである。"
I thought it might be a hoax at first but there's 
several real hits on Google Books, among others Atasuhi 
Koyano 日本売春史 (2007): "彼女らはピンプ(嬪夫)と呼ばれる楼
主のもとで働かされた。"
and シカゴ日系百年史 (1986):
"男がピンプ〔? 1 ^ ?、ヒモの意、日本人移民は嬪夫と訳した)"
