sola aoi

Sola Aoi is a Japanese former AV idol, nude model, and film and television actress. Born on April 26, 1981, in Kanagawa, she began her career in the food-service industry before being scouted by a talent agency for gravure modelling in Shibuya. Aoi aimed to work in the adult entertainment industry, stating that she couldn't do it solely in the AV industry.

Aoi made her debut in adult videos (AV) in July 2002 with Happy Go Lucky! for Alice Japan studio, part of the Kuki Inc. group. The following month, she appeared in AV The Blue Sky on the Samansa label for Max-A studio. Aoi was awarded the Second Place Award as Best New Actress in 2002 for her video appearances.

Aoi continued making videos for Alice Japan and Max-A for almost two-and-a-half years until late 2004. She also appeared in the first video release of Shuffle's new label Believe, The Naked Body, an "image video" featuring nude modeling but no sex. Aoi's popularity as an adult video actress led to her becoming a media personality both in Japan and abroad.Into mainstream entertainment

Sora Aoi, a popular Japanese actress, began her career in mainstream media in 2003 with roles in Gun Crazy 4: Requiem for a Bodyguard and TV Asahi J-dorama Tokumei Kakarichō Tadano Hitoshi. In 2004, she was awarded the Best Actress Award at the 2004 Pink Grand Prix ceremony for her role in the pink film, Tsumugi. Aoi also starred in the manga-based theatrical thriller Stop the Bitch Campaign: Hell Version in October 2004.

In November 2004, Aoi left Alice Japan and Max-A to move to S1 No. 1 Style, part of the large Hokuto Corporation. Her first video for S1 was directed by Hideto Aki and released on November 11, 2004. By mid-2006, Aoi had become one of the most popular AV idols in Japan. She entered further into mainstream entertainment, including film, television, and radio.

In early 2005, Aoi starred as a high-school girl in director Keisuke Yoshida's film Raw Summer, which won the Grand Prize in the Off Theater Competition at the 2006 Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival. She appeared in the late-night TV Tokyo manga-based production Jōō (嬢王) and returned in a special guest appearance for the 2009 sequel to the show Jōō Virgin.

Aoi was asked by a small Japanese publisher to take photographs of themselves as "if the [toy] cameras [were] their boyfriends or undetestable stalkers" and created the result, Polgasun Aoisora, which was warmly received by a reviewer for the journal European Photography.

By 2006, Aoi was appearing regularly on television, often appearing on variety shows and acting in several dramas, including the 2006 midnight-drama Shimokita GLORY DAYS (下北GLORY DAYS). She was also cast in the TV Asahi midnight drama Kaikan shokunin (快感職人) and was a guest star on the popular J-dorama detective show Galileo (ガリレオ).

Aoi's work in adult videos became irregular after mid-2006, with one of her S1 videos, Hyper Risky Mosaic – Special Bath House Tsubaki, winning the First Place Award at the 2007 AV Open contest. In July 2011, S1 released a new work, Mega Semem Bukkake Facial, but since then, the studio has only published compilation videos for Aoi through late 2013.

Aoi made her debut in another Asian entertainment market when she appeared in a Korean TV drama Korean Classroom in May 2009. Back in Japan, she starred as a zombie-killing stripper in director Takao Nakano's comedy horror film Big Tits Zombie in May 2010, and later in Hong Kong starring in Revenge: A Love Story.

In late April 2010, Aoi's Twitter account was discovered by many Chinese netizens, leading fans to distribute software allowing them to bypass Twitter censorship. Following the 2010 Yushu earthquake in China's Qinghai Province, Aoi announced that she would raise funds to donate to the earthquake victims. Her sizable following in China led to her debut as a singer in Mandarin Chinese with the song "mao yi" (毛衣 or Sweater), which was released digitally for mobile phone and computer download.

In 2011, Sola Aoi starred in the Indonesian horror movie Suster Keramas 2, making her the third Japanese AV actress to appear in Indonesian films. The film was kept secret due to protests from conservative Muslim groups in Indonesia. Aoi retired from the AV industry in 2011, with her last original AV being Sora Aoi Mega Cum Facials. She released several omnibus compilations, including a 12-hour-long compilation called All 97 Production S1 12 Hours Sora Aoi Complete BEST.

In 2019, distribution of her AV work was discontinued from Japanese e-commerce retailer FANZA and her profile from S1's website. Aoi requested this action due to her pregnancy and new family life. Her high profile in China has led to controversy, including taunts and insults directed towards her for her plea for a peaceful solution to the Senkaku Islands dispute between Japan and China. In May 2013, a "culture war" ensued when a calligraphy created by Aoi as a guest promoting a theme park in Ningbo, China, was reportedly auctioned for $95,000.

Aoi made her debut in South Korea in 2012 and continued to work as an actress in small roles, including a cameo appearance in the Chinese sex comedy Naked Ambition 2. She also appeared in the 2014 Thai romantic comedy Ai Fai.. Thank You Love You.

In 2022, Sola Aoi was named as the WE88 Global Brand Ambassador for 2022/23 to promote and boost the brand's presence across Asia. In December 2022, she collaborated with Malaysian rapper, singer, songwriter, filmmaker, and actor Namewee as the main female lead in a music video, "Someone Else's Wife."

Aoi announced her marriage to musician DJ Non in 2018 and gave birth to twin boys on May 1, the following year.
