Asa Akira Porn Career

Before her job as a dominatrix, she first worked as a stripper and exotic dancer at Hustler Club, one of the most popular clubs in New York. In 2006, she earned a gig on the Love Sponge radio show; it was while working this job she got nicknamed the Show Whore. She left this job in 2007 and from there, she found her way into the porn industry through the help of her friend Gina Lynn. When Asa made her move into the porn industry, Gina was getting set to launch her production film so she took Asa in. Asa’s entry was met with positive reviews and her rise to stardom began almost instantaneously.

Asa Akira’s porn stage name was culled from her real name “Asa”, and “Akira” was culled from the anime “Akira”. After leaving Lynn’s production outfit, she signed with some of the prestigious production firms in the space. With over 15 years in the industry, the petite star has featured in over 500 adult films. Her impressive performances in the fetish category have earned nominations and awards from prestigious platforms like AVN, and XBIZ. In 2013, she debuted as a porn movie director for Elegant Angel in “Gangbanged”. In the same year, she started a podcast alongside David Choe, focused on helping young adults with sexuality—called DVDASA. She worked with top names such as Sharon Lee and Kortney Kane.

In 2014, she made her way into mainstream movie acting with appearances in Starlet and Family Guy, and she published her first book, Porn—A Love Story. The following year, she published a memoir titled “Dirty Thirty”, then Asarotica, in 2017. She also has her personal website where she makes premium sex videos featuring the pornstar on a subscription-based service.
