Azumi Kawashima (川島和津実 Kawashima Azumi), born August 8, 1979 in Tokyo, Japan, is a former adult video (AV) actress and model.

Life and career

Azumi Kawashima was born in Tokyo on August 8, 1979.[2] Her debut adult video (AV) was Promise released under the Try-Heart Corporation's Sexia's label in December 1998.[3] In January 1999, Kawashima starred in Naive, for the Shy label. Her next video was for the Sexia label, I Want To Hold You (February 1999), and she was back at Shy for the April 1999 release, Purity, directed by Kunihiro Hasegawa.[4]

Kawashima performed in the seventh volume of Sexia's Pretty Wife series, subtitled Dangerous Love Triangle, which was released in May 1999.[5] This proved to be her last video as Kawashima retired from AV work after May 1999.[6]

In addition to her video career, Kawashima's portfolio includes the release of 10 photobooks released from 1999 to 2003.[7] Outside of her adult work, Kawashima also had a major part in the 1999 V-Cinema horror film Demon Killer or Junreiki 殉霊鬼(じゅんれいき), directed by Seki Akitsugu, where six men and women staying at a villa are attacked by a killer.[8][9]

Kawashima's video and photobooks remained popular in Japan after her retirement[6] and when the Japanese video retailer DMM polled AV fans in early 2012 for the best AV actresses over the 30-year history of the genre, Kawashima ranked number 4 out of 100 actresses listed.[10]
