Asa Akira

Asa Akira was born on January 3, 1985, in New York City to Japanese immigrant parents. She spent her childhood between the U.S. and Japan, living in Tokyo from ages 6 to 13. After returning to the States, she began her career in the adult industry at 19 as a dominatrix, later transitioning to stripping and adult films. Her debut boy-girl scene was with Travis Knight in 2006 for Gina Lynn Productions. Asa has since become a prolific figure, starring in over 689 films, winning numerous awards, and authoring memoirs like ''Insatiable: Porn-A Love Story'' and ''Dirty Thirty.'' She identifies as a feminist and has been inducted into multiple adult industry halls of fame.
