In this world, there are women born to be idols, with elegant and refined pure appearances, tender skin radiating a light and ethereal aura, and gentle qualities shining through their beautiful eyes and smiling peach-like cheeks. There are also women born to be AV actresses, with curvaceous figures, full and soft breasts that captivate, and seductive poses exuding endless charm and sensuality. And then there is a woman born to be both an idol and an AV actress—her name is **Tsukasa Aoi (葵つかさ)**, one of the most beloved and enduring figures in Japanese adult entertainment.
Born on August 14, 1990, Tsukasa Aoi signed with an entertainment agency at just 17 and debuted as a gravure idol. In her short gravure career, she shone brightly and irresistibly, eventually releasing a personal nude photobook that made a strong impact and paved the way for her entry into the AV industry. This marked the beginning of her rise to become the Tsukasa Aoi we know today—a top-tier AV star with a blend of innocent beauty and sensual appeal. Along the way, she also participated in mainstream entertainment, including movies and TV dramas. How did she evolve from a "beautiful girl idol" to the "strongest beautiful girl idol in the adult industry"? What charms and talents helped her achieve her prominent status?
Next Stop: AV Actress
At just 17, still a high school student, Tsukasa Aoi appeared on the cover of the gravure magazine 《Bejean》 in 2008, officially debuting as a beautiful girl idol. Regarding her debut reason, she said: "I didn't like studying and didn't want to continue! While in high school, as I considered whether to go to university or quit, I applied to an entertainment company and got accepted. That's how I debuted as an idol."
After debuting, Tsukasa actively engaged in gravure shoots. However, she began thinking about her future and whether she should stay in the gravure world forever, worrying if she could succeed long-term as a photobook idol. Two years after debut, the highly action-oriented Tsukasa showed signs of entering AV by releasing a personal full nude photobook, lighting the green signal for her future AV path and demonstrating her bold career ambitions.
Soon after, Tsukasa officially entered the AV industry as an elegant beautiful girl idol-type actress. She explained: "I'm a super fan of the AV world, and I'm a girl with strong action power and stubbornness. Once I decide something, I must act immediately. If I want to eat something now, I want it right away, even multiple times until night. I think this mindset brought me into the AV world (so you wanted sex? lol). Even before debut, I thought about cutting my hair, and my manager was very angry when he heard (lol)." Her current elegant short hair style perfectly reflects this personality.
(Debuting at 17 as a gravure star, Tsukasa Aoi released many personal photobooks. Two years later, she launched a full nude photobook to pave the way for AV. With strong determination, she didn't want to stay in gravure forever and boldly transitioned to becoming an AV actress.)
Becoming an AV Actress: Not Just Physical, But Tears and Sweat Too
Debuting on a magazine cover shows the potential industry experts saw in Tsukasa. The subsequent nude photobook laid groundwork for AV. Transitioning from gravure idol to AV actress is rare. Regarding her first time undressing publicly, she still remembers vividly: "After finishing my first shoot, I went completely blank and couldn't think. Since the work was released six months later, it felt unreal, like I hadn't debuted, lacking satisfaction."
Early in AV, Tsukasa struggled and explored interests. In an interview soon after debut: "Recently, I've been trying different toys, inserting them to develop more sensitive areas, though it's a bit embarrassing." Ambitious, she aimed for fame: "After becoming an actress, many difficult things happen, and switching careers is hard. But times are changing—AV actresses are more accepted and can appear on variety shows, though only late-night."
Tsukasa revealed AV requires more courage than sex work: "AV sex is viewed by anyone, unlike sex workers who don't expose publicly or show organs and lovemaking to all. Sex work is one-on-one or small groups, private. We expose most private parts publicly." Yet, AV didn't fully satisfy her challenges: "I don't think AV is the hardest job—it's professional like others, but I don't think I'm amazing for doing it."
On regrets: "Sometimes I do things without knowing why. If possible, I'd prefer AV without showing face—just pure sex scenes. I love sex more, and I've discovered I'm inwardly dominant."
(In an early interview, Tsukasa Aoi shared unforgettable feelings from her first AV shoot and said becoming an actress requires great courage, more than sex work.)
First AV Actress to Star in a Taiwanese Idol Drama
The title "Strongest Beautiful Girl Idol in the Adult Industry" is well-deserved. Tsukasa Aoi became the first AV actress to appear in a Taiwanese idol drama. In CTV's 《True Love 365》, producer and actor Jin Peicheng invited her from Japan to guest as his girlfriend—cleverly mixing business with pleasure! For such bold move, we say: Well done!
Debuting as gravure, Tsukasa visited Taiwan for photobook promotion. This time, she flew specifically for the drama—the first Japanese AV actress in Taiwanese idol drama. The producer revealed 10 candidates initially, but chose her for pure appearance, inviting her with high pay.
On her "first experience," Tsukasa said Chinese lines were hard, taking time to memorize, sleeping only 3 hours daily. She found AV easier: "Acting clothed is much harder than nude." After, she vowed to learn Chinese and acting, hoping to become international like Sora Aoi. Hong Kong fans know she also appeared in Chapman To's 《Naked Ambition 2》 (3D豪情).
(Tsukasa Aoi was the first Japanese AV actress to film in a Taiwanese idol drama, sharing challenges and stating AV is easier than acting.)
Once Became a "Human Fleshlight" for Idol Group Member
Japan's "Shukan Bunshun" exposed that popular idol group Arashi's member Jun Matsumoto had a 4-year underground affair with Tsukasa Aoi. Report: After Arashi's Nagoya concert, returning to Tokyo luxury apartment, a curvaceous beauty entered naturally with 3-digit code—it was popular actress Tsukasa. Waiting reporters saw her visit at least three times.
Her friend revealed they met in December 2012 at kabuki actor Nakamuraya Sanshiro's funeral via mutual friends. Surprisingly, Matsumoto didn't know she was AV actress! Nor was she an Arashi fan. Unaware of each other's "backgrounds," they exchanged numbers.
In January 2013, Matsumoto contacted her, mentioning Hawaii trip for friend Oguri Shun's wedding, promising drinks upon return. His 10-year girlfriend Mao Inoue attended, appearing intimate. But back in Japan, he kept promise and met Tsukasa—leading to real-life adult scenes unsurprisingly.
Afterward, due to work keeping him from girlfriend, Matsumoto called Tsukasa weekly for comfort. Unaware of his relationship, she gave true feelings and youth, but faced public criticism. Online reports claimed she liked "drinking boyfriend's urine," worrying Arashi fans about Matsumoto's involvement, nicknaming them "urine Jun."
