Former MONE → Malcolm Mask McLaren (マルコム・マスク・マクラーレン)

From 2015, she was a member of the idol group "Malcolm Mask McLaren," known by her stage name "MONE." After five years in the music industry, she retired from idol activities because she no longer saw a future in it and wanted to raise a kitten.
Tomo watched AV movies as if they were dramas long before her debut.
In 2024, at the age of 27, she debuted as an actress under an exclusive contract with MOODYZ for their new label, "Do You Like Beautiful Older Sisters?", which perfectly describes Tomo's style.
The reason for her debut was her admiration for her favorite actress, Akari Mitani, and her desire to experience the same world as her.

Formerly Ooi Chie (大井智恵) → Prizmmy☆ / KissBeeYouth / i.trainee
Born: June 5, 2003 | Debut: 2024 | T158cm / B90(G cup) W58 H90
Known as Ooi Chie (大井智恵). She began dancing at the age of 8 at her mother's suggestion. In 2012, at only 9 years old, she appeared in a commercial for the famous traditional sweets "Hiyoko" in her hometown of Fukuoka. In 2014, she won the Grand Prix at the "PriPara Dream Girls Audition" organized by Avex, which led to her appearing at age 11 in the music video for the group Prizmmy☆ (for the ending theme of the hit anime PriPara).
After her child contract expired in 2016, she sought new horizons in Tokyo's underground scene. She joined KissBeeYouth as part of the 4.5 generation, becoming the youngest member at only 13 years old. She graduated amicably at 14.
She co-founded a promising idol duo called i.trainee, debuting on stage in February 2019. Just two months after their debut, in April 2019, the management immediately terminated the contracts of the two members for "breach of contract."
In 2023, after stepping away from the stage and reaching adulthood, she reappeared very discreetly on the uncensored AV video platform FC2 under the pseudonym "Mayu" (FC2 PPV 3695183).
Under the name Kokona Nakamori (中森心々奈), she made the leap to adult films as an exclusive actress for S1 in 2024. Her marketing campaign capitalized on her past: "The winner of a major idol audition debuts in AV." Japanese forums immediately recognized her as Chie Ooi. She quickly climbed to the top of FANZA's sales charts.
In August 2024, she announced her agency change and her new name, "Meru Satou (佐藤愛瑠)." In July 2025, she announced her transition from exclusive actress to supporting actress (Kikatan), allowing her to diversify her roles and work with multiple production companies. In December 2025, she signed with her current agency, remaining active in the industry in 2026 in films that have leveraged her idol image and aura.

Eimi Fukada 深田えいみ
Ex Amami Kokoro 天海こころ → B Girl Warrior Go Fighter
Born: March 18, 1998 | Active: 2017 – 2024 | T158cm / B88(I cup) W59 H91
She was part of the second generation of the idol group "B-Shoujo Senshi Go-Fighter B" at just 18 years old and only for three months under the name Kokoro Amami.
Eimi later revealed that her agency strategically placed her in this group, preparing her for her imminent debut in adult films.
In 2017, she debuted under the "Seishun Jidai" label of the production company SOD Create for only 3 months, continuing as a freelance actress (Kikatan).
Her main motivation for entering AV was to raise enough money to afford cosmetic surgery. At the end of 2017, she decided to take a long break and traveled to South Korea.
After investing a total of 20 million yen (approximately in 2026) in cosmetic procedures and breast augmentation, she reappeared with a radical image change.
In November 2018, her new look and the use of glasses on stage catapulted her to success. She landed a massive contract with the group WILL to film up to 12 movies a month.
Alongside AV, Eimi leveraged her fame and became a content creator after opening her YouTube channel, reaching record subscriber numbers.
Due to physical fatigue, she restructured her contract to become an exclusive actress for MOODYZ for a record salary of 5.5 million yen per release.
In May 2023, she transferred to the production company FALENO. Since September 2024, Eimi stopped releasing new films, and her exclusive contract ended.
Her retirement was officially announced in 2026 during her recent television appearances (ABEMA's show 'Shisan, Zenbu Uttemita' aired in May 2026), where she was introduced as a "former AV actress."
