Biography
Akiho Yoshizawa biography
Akiho Yoshizawa (吉沢明歩) was born on March 3, 1984 in Tokyo, Japan. She entered gravure work in 2002 and made her adult-film debut in 2003, beginning a career that would last sixteen years. Early releases were associated with Alice Japan and Max-A, while later years included long-running work for S1 and Maxing. Yoshizawa also crossed into mainstream entertainment through film and television, including Jyouou: Jyouou Virgin and the 2011 Hong Kong science-fiction comedy The 33D Invader, and she was a member of Ebisu Muscats from 2008 to 2013. She announced her retirement in October 2018 and completed her adult career in March 2019. Post-retirement projects have included a semi-autobiographical novel, YouTube publishing, beauty-related work and continued public appearances.
Yoshizawa's longevity and mainstream crossover make her one of the more historically significant Japanese profiles in this directory. Her career stretched from the DVD-dominant early 2000s into the subscription-video era, and her post-retirement work has preserved a public presence separate from new adult-film production.
