Biography
In 2017 she moved into professional wrestling, and between 2017 and 2020 she worked on the Extreme roster of the BATTLE organisation, where she held the Extreme Championship once. A short stint with Infinity X followed in 2022. Wrestling is a useful lens on her film work because it asks for the same things: timing, the ability to take a hit and sell it, and a body that can be thrown around a mat and still look composed at the end. The ring also gave her a live audience, which is a different discipline from a set with a crew and a call sheet.
She stepped away from adult film in 2018 and became an international DJ, playing across Southeast Asia, and on 9 August 2024 she announced that she had retired from adult film for good. The transition is less of a break than it looks. A DJ set and a shoot both run on stamina and on reading a room, and both reward a performer who can hold attention without a script. What she leaves behind is a body of work large enough to read as a record of an era in Japanese adult film, and a second career built on the same physical confidence.
