Biography and career

edit

Kawashima was born on 8 August 1979 in Tokyo, Japan. She likes to walk and swim.[7] She becameone of the favorite actresses among fans of pornographic videos, mainly because of “her classic, elegant and distinguished beauty.”[8] She does not film extreme pornography or other similar videos.[9] Hwe first film, Promise, was released in December 1998 under the brand Try-Heart Corporation's Sexia.[10][3] In January 1999, Kawashima was the lead in Naive, a video released by Shy. Her next film for Sexia titled I Want To Hold You (February 1999) was a sex drama[11] Return to Shy for Natural published in April 1999. This video, judged to be well performed with strong sex scenes, features bandits and a plot hatched for an assassination.[12]

Kawashima succeeded the popular Haruki Mizuno in the series Pretty Wife published by Sexia.[13] She made her entrance in the seventh episode, Dangerous Love Triangle, published in May 1999, playing the role of a victim of her evil stepmother. The latter, hoping to remove her son from the influence of his wife who she thinks is demoralizing, hires the services of two men to rape her. She believes that her son's witnessing the scene will lead him to divorce. The video ends with the mother-in-law waking up and realizing that it was all just a dream, which she nevertheless takes for a message ordering her to leave her son's house. ActionJAV rates this video as Another great action packed movie performed by the legendary Azumi Kawashima[14][15][4]

Less than a year after Kawashima's debut, her popularity prompted Sexia to release a retrospective video, Azu-mi-x, which contains scenes taken from her first video alongside new ones[5] All Stars: Erotic Lips Selection, a video by Sexia published in February 2000, brings together several actresses. Kawashima rubs shoulders with her former colleague from Pretty Wife Haruki Mizuno[16] A second retrospective entitled Azu-mi-x II: Wazumi's Filmography was released in September 2000 in a collector's edition[6] Memory followed by Complete Azumi Kawashima, released in July 2003, will be Kawashima's last videos.[2][17]

In addition to her filmography, Kawaqshima posed for nine photo albums published between 1999 and 2003.[18] and shot for the V-cinema a horror film Demon Killer or Junreiki 殉霊鬼(じゅんれいき) directed by Seki Akitsugu in which six men and women occupying a villa are attacked by a killer.[19][20]
