[edit] Life and career
Ran Asakawa was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on September 4, 1980. Her first sexual encounter happened when she was 19 and was with a businessman. She says that her first fully pleasurable experience wasn't until about the 10th time, however.[4]
Asakawa finished high school and began junior college.[4] 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."[4]
Asakawa and her modeling agency submitted an application to the Guinness Book of World Records for making 212 adult videos within the year of 2002, a number unprecedented in the 20-year history of the AV in Japan.[5] In 2003 the Taipei Times reported that Asakawa had come to Taiwan with the hopes of expanding her career there.[6]
