is an award-winning former
AV idol and a well-known celebrity in
Japan.
Life and career
Natsume was born on
January 23,
1980 in
Sakai, Osaka,
Japan (Her birthdate has usually been reported as 1982 and it is still listed as such on her SOD profile,
but her official website has her birth year as 1980).
After graduation from high school Natsume worked in various occupations, including as a
dental assistant and in real estate.
She began her entertainment career with appearances in
On Girls' File and
Cure Sick Night, local late night television shows in
Osaka.
She was first scouted for work in the adult entertainment field in 2002. Moving to
Tokyo, she appeared in photo features for several magazines including
Shukan Gendai and
Weekly Post. She was also featured in a photobook entitled
727 in July 2002 and in an "image" (non-nude) DVD called
nana which was released in November 2002.
AV Debut & Career
Natsume first appeared for the
Soft On Demand adult video company as the host of their
AV Awards ceremony held at
Tokyo's
Shinjuku Century Hyatt hotel on November 26, 2003.
Her debut video for the company, entitled simply
Debut, was released in January, 2004.
Relatively sexually conservative and inexperienced, Natsume feels that what stands out in her first video is, "Just how embarrassed I look during the entire thing."
She claims that her first experiences with both
paizuri and
masturbation occurred during AV shoots.
One of her videos,
Final Pussy!, released in January 2005 is notable for its
science fiction theme. In the movie, directed by
Noboru Iguchi, Natsume plays a dangerous character who is the result of a military experiment gone wrong. When sexually aroused, guns burst from her breasts killing whomever she is having sex with. Special makeup effects were by
Yoshihiro Nishimura,
well known in Japanese "gore" cinema.
