Biography

The 2013 AVN Female Performer of the Year made her adult film debut in 2006, becoming one of the winningest Asian stars of all time. The popular native New Yorker, whose Twitter bio accurately states “I have an award-winning asshole,” has performed in more than 700 adult films and has won more than 20 AVN Awards during her glittering career. The former Wicked Pictures contract girl became Pornhub’s Brand Ambassador in 2018; she has amassed more than 460 million video views on porn’s biggest online platform.

The daughter of Japanese immigrants, Akira was only 19 when she was approached on the street in New York and asked whether she wanted to be a dominatrix. She then had a stint performing at a now-defunct sadomasochism club called the Nutcracker Suite before becoming a stripper at Manhattan's Hustler Club. When she later moved to Tampa, Fla., she became a regular on Sirius XM's “Bubba the Love Sponge Show,” where she performed light masturbation scenes on camera for a website set up by the radio program and become known as the “Show Whore.”

It was on the show that she met fellow Hall of Famer Gina Lynn, who helped her get her start in porn. Thanks to her stunning looks, athletic body and uninhibited performances, Akira made a steady ascent before reaching new levels of stardom in January 2011, when she crushed the 28th annual AVN Awards, taking home trophies for Best Anal Sex Scene, Best Three-Way Sex Scene (G/B/B) and Best Douple Penetration Sex Scene, all from Elegant Angel's "Asa Akira Is Insatiable," as well as Best All-Girl Three-Way Sex Scene from Elegant's "Buttwoman vs. Slutwoman." In addition, "Asa Akira Is Insatiable" won the Fan Award for Favorite Movie.

In, 2012 she upped the ante, winning seven awards from AVN, including Best Anal Scene, Best All Sex Release, Best DP Scene, Best Group Scene, Best Solo Sex Scene, Best Tease Performance and Best Three-way Sex Scene.

Then at the 2013 AVNs she did even better, not only serving as one the show's co-hosts, but capturing the Female Performer of the Year crown along with five other awards: Best Showcase Movie, Best DP Scene, Best Group Sex Scene, Best POV Scene, and Three-way Sex Scene.

After co-starring in Brad Armstrong's "Underworld," which was later named Movie of the Year at the 2014 AVN Awards, Asa Akira formally joined the Wicked family.

A Fleshlight Girl since 2011, Asa is the author of two best-selling books—"Insatiable" and "Dirty Thirty." She also was a prominent part of Pornhub’s collaboration with streetwear brand Richardson, modeling on one of the pieces from the capsule collection. With two successful podcasts under her belt, Asa has also made an appearance in the sitcom, Family Guy and hosted "The Sex Factor," a reality show where eight men and eight women compete for a $1 million prize and a three-year porn contract.
