Asa Akira

Asa Akira (Asa Takigami) is an American porn star and adult model of Japanese descent. Akira was born in Manhattan, New York, the only child of Japanese immigrant parents. She lived in SoHo and moved to Tokyo at age nine when her father, a portrait photographer, was relocated there for work. She returned to the United States at age 13 and moved to Downtown Brooklyn and later Clinton Hill. In a 2014 interview, she described her childhood as being "perfectly normal". Her family spoke Japanese at home and were "health nuts" who avoided junk food. As a teenager, Akira worked at the children's bookstore, Books of Wonder, as a cashier.

Akira was able to secure a scholarship to attend United Nations International School in Manhattan because her grandfather had been a Japanese diplomat for 45 years. She was not invited to return in her sophomore year due to her poor grades, so she enrolled in Washington Irving High School in Gramercy Park. She transferred to City-As-School for her senior year.

Akira began working as a dominatrix when she was 19-years-old. She later worked as a stripper at the Hustler Club in New York. In 2006–2007 she was a regular on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show and was known as the "Show Whore". She met pornographic actress Gina Lynn on the show and she offered her porn work. Her first boy-girl scene was with Travis Knight for Gina Lynn Productions, after having already done several girl-girl scenes, mainly with Lynn. She then signed a contract with Vouyer Media before becoming a freelancer six months later. Asa is her real first name, which means "morning" in Japanese, and the last name in her stage name was taken from the anime film Akira.
