About Rei Mizuna

Profile
​Rei Mizuna was born on May 20, 1984, in Tokyo. Standing 153cm tall, her measurements are B82 (B-cup), W57, and H86. She is celebrated for the striking contrast between her youthful "baby face" and her slender, alluring physique. Her nickname, "Rei-sama," is a tribute to Rei Ayanami from the iconic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, which she cites as a personal favorite.
​Her stage name, "Mizuna," has a unique origin: during a meal with her agency staff before her debut, a salad of mizuna (Japanese mustard greens) was served. The company president took a liking to the dish and suggested it as her name. Mizuna herself reportedly agreed because she liked the visual aesthetic of the Japanese character "づ" (zu).
​A passionate fan of anime and cosplay, she is also a self-described "voice fetishist." Her diverse range of hobbies includes reading, music, perfumes, knitting, gaming, and road cycling.

​Biography
Rei ​Mizuna made her adult video (AV) debut in 2008 at the age of 24. Initially, she was an exclusive actress for Alice JAPAN, marketed with a "pure and innocent" image. However, even in her debut work, she hinted at a more adventurous side, performing scenes involving anal play and deep-throat fellatio.
​In March 2009, she transferred to MAXING, and by July of that year, she transitioned to a freelance career. This marked a dramatic shift from her "innocent beauty" persona to an uncompromisingly hardcore and unconventional style. She began appearing in extreme genres, including irrumatio, and various forms of fetish and humiliation play. This pivot was a calculated move to survive the industry's fierce competition and a reflection of her desire to embrace the diverse sexual fantasies of her audience.
​In the early 2010s, Rei Mizuna became a powerhouse in the hardcore scene, appearing in over 150 solo films. Her popularity extended across Asia, particularly in China and Taiwan. Between 2013 and 2016, she made history as one of the first Japanese actresses to headline major adult exhibitions in Guangzhou, Macau, and Taiwan. Her influence also reached mainstream media; she appeared on the popular variety show God Tongue and starred in the film Zombie Bride.
​In 2014, upon turning 30, she revealed that she had previously represented her age as three years younger than she actually was. Following this "coming out," she successfully shifted her focus to more mature roles. In March 2016, she announced her retirement from the industry, concluding her filming career in May and holding a final farewell event at Shinjuku LOFT in September. Since retiring, she has remained active in the anime community, broadcasting on Nico Nico Live and pursuing her passion for cycling.

​Personality and Appeal
​Rei Mizuna’s primary appeal lies in the "gap" between her sweet appearance and her reputation as a "pure-looking deviant." Known for her stoic and professional demeanor, her dedication to her craft—even in the most physically demanding scenes—earned her immense respect from fans and colleagues alike. On set, she was famous for her "service spirit"; she was so committed to her performances that she reportedly suffered from occasional bouts of stress-induced alopecia.
​Her shift to hardcore content was both a strategic survival tactic and a personal philosophy of being "tolerant of all desires." Despite her provocative career, she maintained a private life and expressed a long-standing desire for marriage. Her love for anime remains a defining trait, often expressed through high-quality cosplay.

Romantic History and Preferences
Rei Mizuna had her first sexual experience with her 20-year-old boyfriend during her freshman year of high school. This awakening sparked a deep interest in sex, leading her to begin exploring masturbation. With a history of about 20 sexual partners and eight relationships, she is quite experienced. She finds herself drawn to older men, who make up the majority of her past boyfriends, and her preferred position is missionary.

​Legacy
​With a filmography of approximately 151 works (excluding various themed compilations and uncensored releases), Rei Mizuna is regarded as one of the definitive hardcore icons of the Heisei era. Fans continue to admire her for the unique niche she carved out: the "cute girl next door" who fearlessly explored the extremes of human sexuality. Today, she occasionally updates fans on her life via X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @mizunarei and continues to make sporadic appearances at anime-related events.
