Akiho Yoshizawa

Akiho Yoshizawa is a Japanese former adult performer, actress, author and media personality whose adult-film career and post-retirement publishing and media work define her public profile. Also known as Acky and Akkii, she was born in Tokyo on March 3, 1984, and began gravure work in 2002. She made her adult-film debut in March 2003 with the Alice Japan release Angel. Early releases were associated with Max-A, while later years included long-running work for S1 and Maxing. Her career stretched from the DVD-dominant early 2000s into the subscription-video era.

Yoshizawa also crossed into mainstream film and television. She appeared in the television series Jyouou: Jyouou Virgin in 2009, a role during a period when her public profile expanded beyond adult video, and played Jeane in The 33D Invader, a Hong Kong science-fiction comedy released in 2011. From 2008 to 2013 she was a member of the idol group Ebisu Muscats. The group participation overlapped with her television and film roles. She announced her retirement in October 2018 and completed her adult career in March 2019, when her final releases closed a sixteen-year AV career.

After leaving adult production, she turned to writing and other media. Her 2020 book, Solo Actress: 16 Years Dedicated to AV, is a semi-autobiographical reflection on her career and the industry. She has launched YouTube content, pursued beauty-related work and continued public appearances. Her post-retirement projects have preserved a public presence separate from new adult-film production.
