Biography

Aimi Yoshikawa biography

Aimi Yoshikawa, also known as Aikimin, is a Japanese former adult performer, gravure model and actress. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture on March 20, 1994, she began public modeling work in gravure in August 2012. That gravure phase preceded her move into adult video, and in January 2013 she made her adult-film debut with Aimi Yoshikawa AV DEBUT. She quickly built a high-volume adult catalog while also drawing attention for roles beyond studio work. Her career ran from 2012 to 2018.

Her mainstream acting work sat alongside her adult career. In 2013 she appeared in the comedy God Tongue: Kiss Pressure Game - The Movie. The following year she took the central role of Hazuki Luna in the live-action manga adaptation Watch-out! Luna, the Teacher. A later 2015 film credit lists her as Sayaka Noto and added another acting role during the same period as her adult work. She also maintained a public presence through social media and an official blog.

On November 8, 2018, Yoshikawa announced that she would retire from adult entertainment at the end of the year. Her adult-film career closed on December 31, 2018. In making the announcement, she explicitly separated her later life from her former adult-performer identity. The retirement marked the close of a six-year career that had begun with gravure modeling and later screen acting.
