Japanese idol Sakamoto Maria, who began her entertainment career at age 12 as a member of FLAP GIRLS SCHOOL, has officially entered the adult video industry under the name Aizawa Miyu.
After her group disbanded following five years of activity, Sakamoto pursued a solo career but felt unfulfilled. When the idea of performing in adult videos was initially suggested, she rejected it. However, after considering her career trajectory and desire for broader fame, she reconsidered. In December 2023, at age 22, she made her AV debut, marking a major turning point in her professional life.
Sakamoto’s debut was met with strong popularity, and she expressed satisfaction with her career decision. However, an unexpected challenge arose when her father discovered her new career path in March 2025. While her mother had been informed beforehand, her father demanded that she quit the industry immediately.
Despite feeling misunderstood, Aizawa Miyu remained resolute. Through her X (formerly Twitter) account, she confirmed that she would not abandon her AV career, asserting her determination to continue performing in adult films.
Her dedication appears to be paying off: she recently celebrated a sold-out event scheduled for January, demonstrating continued growth and fan support in her chosen field.
Sakamoto Maria’s story highlights the difficult balance between family expectations, personal ambition, and the pursuit of unconventional career paths in the entertainment industry.
