Yua Mikami

Yua Mikami

Before entering adult entertainment, Yua Mikami had already spent years in the Japanese pop idol system. Born in Nagoya, Aichi on August 16, 1993, she joined the idol group SKE48 in 2009 at the age of 16, performing under the name Momona Kitō. Her time with the group lasted until 2014, though it was not without controversy. In 2013, photos published by Shūkan Bunshun showed her with singer Yuya Tegoshi, which drew public scrutiny partly because she was under the legal drinking age at the time.

Transition to Adult Film

In 2015, Yua made her adult industry debut under the Muteki label, a studio known for recruiting crossover talent from mainstream Japanese entertainment. She later became affiliated with S1 No.1 Style, one of the most prominent AV labels in Japan. Over the course of her career, she appeared in more than 200 adult titles, a catalog that includes standard releases, compilations, and VR productions. She became one of the highest-selling AV performers of her era and received multiple industry awards during her active years.

Parallel Careers in Music and Media

Throughout her time in adult entertainment, Yua maintained an active presence in music and idol culture. She joined the idol group Ebisu Muscats in 2015 and co-founded the K-pop inspired group Honey Popcorn in 2018. Her crossover appeal extended into gaming as well, with appearances in the video games Yakuza 6 and Yakuza Kiwami 2, both part of the well-known Sega franchise.

Retirement and Current Work

In 2023, Yua retired from the AV industry. Since then, she has focused on her work as a social media influencer, content creator, and businesswoman. She remains active on multiple platforms including YouTube and TikTok, and maintains an OnlyFans page. Her shift away from adult film has not diminished her public visibility, particularly across East and Southeast Asia, where she built a substantial following during her performing years.

Standing 5'2" with brown hair and brown eyes, Yua is among the Japanese Models and petite performers who have maintained careers well beyond their time in studio production. Her trajectory from teen idol to AV performer to media entrepreneur is relatively unusual, even within an industry that frequently draws talent from mainstream Japanese entertainment.
