Contents 1 Life and career 2 Partial filmography 3 Selected magazine appearances 4 References 5 Sources // Life and careerRan Asakawa was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on 4 September 1980. Her first sexual encounter happened when she was 19 and was with a businessman. She says, however, that her first fully pleasurable experience wasn't until about the 10th time.2
Asakawa finished high school and began junior college.2 When she realized that she couldn't make much money doing part time work she decided to start doing adult videos, and later explained, "I wanted to study to get a decent wage but I can't do that while I have a regular 9-5 job, right? So I picked AVs." She had thought about stripping but decided that the hours were too long.2 She says she cried after making her first video "wondering what I was doing to myself". She finally got to like sex on camera but keeps her eyes closed from embarrassment.2
At first she was not a popular performer because of her mature looks at a time when very young looking girls were the fashion in porn and she did only about 10 videos in her first six months.2 However, that changed. Her total output in Japan including later re-issues and compilations numbers nearly 800 videos.3
In late 2003 the Taipei Times reported that Asakawa had come to Taiwan with the hopes of expanding her career there.4 Although Asakawa retired from Japanese AV work, in 2004 she did appear in a number of "uncensored" videos - those without the mosaic pixellation to obscure the genitals found in all standard Japanese adult videos. At least some of the videos were produced in Taiwan.5
