The Various Types of JAV Productions
As you may have read in J-List’s interview with former JAV star Shibuya Kaho, there are several core genres in Japan’s adult world. These include:
- Joyū-mono (Actress-focused). These are works centered around famous JAV stars that are strongly promoted by each studio. Since it’s best for everyone if the actress can enjoy a longer career, studios manage their brand with high-quality productions and fan events.
- Kikaku-mono (Concept-focused). These are productions that explore some unique sexual setting. Soft on Demand is extremely good at this kind of thing, with their Zenra Airlines or Magic Mirror series. The individual girls performing in the productions are not important at all.
- Mania-mono (Fetish/specialized). Collections of sex scenes such as Twintails and Doggy Style 8 Hours or Clothed Sex Best 8 Hours might qualify for this category.
- Shiroto-mono (Amateur). These are centered on everyday Japanese girls performing on camera for the first time.
- Compilation JAV works. Finally, one of the cornerstones of the JAV world are compilation works that bring together previously released scenes, giving fans 4, 8, or 12+ hours of amazing performances. These releases are a fun way to watch your favorite actress performing in scene after scene, or explore 8 hours of sexy cosplay JAV for a low price.
Who Are the Top Names on J-List? Let’s Check the JAV Actress Ranking!
Let’s look at the JAV actress ranking for all AV stars on J-List and see which girls are the most popular. Note that this list is compiled by looking at total unit sales of all works by each actress, so it will skew towards actresses who have been in the industry longer. JULIA (debuted in 2010) has had a lot more time to build up a fanbase than Yu Tano or Ria Yamate, who entered the industry only a few years ago.
#17 Momona Koibuchi Is an Adorable JAV Star from Rural Japan
Starting off, we have Momona Koibuchi, who debuted in 2022 yet has amassed a huge number of fans since then. She was the student body representative in her class, and had to hide her love for watching porn on her phone to protect her pure image. When she moved to Tokyo, she was scouted into the JAV world, and the rest is history!

#16 Fans Can’t Resist Ria Yamate for Obvious Reasons
Ria Yamate is another recent entry into the JAV world, having debuted in 2021. But in a short time, she managed to win over many fans, including lots of J-List customers, with her gorgeous body and perfect oppai. She became interested in sex when, in school, a growth spurt caused her breasts to get really large, causing her to receive a lot of attention from the boys in her class.

#15 Nanami Matsumoto is the Boob Goddess
Nanami Matsumoto — nicknamed Nanamin — is a former “gravure” (sexy swimsuit) model who has been dubbed the 乳神様 chichi-gami-sama or “Boob Goddess” by her fans. She resisted entering the JAV world for a few years, but in the end, the attraction was too strong for her. She’s appeared in such amazing JAV works as Married Woman Falls for a Kiss and Fellatio Class President.

#14 We’d Love to Eat Yu Tano’s… Violin?
Another recent addition to the JAV industry who has accumulated many, many fans since her debut in 2024. Surprisingly, Yu Tano is a highly skilled violinist, having studied for 18 years. She regularly performs at recitals and teaches the violin to students, despite what she does for her day job.

#13 Himari is the Q-Cup Queen
Himari also debuted in 2024, immediately making a splash with her legendary Q-cup breasts and quickly rising in the JAV actress rankings. Growing up, she often cursed her heavier physique and large breasts, making her clothes fit poorly and causing people to ask if she was pregnant. But she got over her anxiety about her body, in part thanks to winning so many fans in the JAV world. She chose her stage name because it resembles himawari (sunflower), her favorite flower.

#12 Asuna Kawai is a Powerful Japan AV Idol
At school, Asuna Kawai’s chest filled out early. This made her so self-conscious that she wore a compression garment under her uniform so her breasts wouldn’t stand out as much. She became interested in working in the JAV world after seeing Mana Sakura perform in porn. Since her debut in 2019, Asuna has appeared in popular works like Office Lady Becomes Aroused by Power Harassment and Asuna Kawai is Left Behind in a Cleaning Company Full of Men!

#11 JAV Actress Ranking: Umi Yatsugake’s DFC
Umi Yatsugake is one of the top DFC (delicious flat chest) actresses in the industry today, and J-List customers love watching her tiny, lithe body while she performs naughty acts. Umi started out as a YouTuber, which brought enough attention that she was eventually approached by Prestige to appear in their videos. She debuted in November 2020. In addition to her adult film work, she models and has walked fashion runways promoting famous brands.

#10 Ichika Matsumoto Switched from Cosplay to JAV
Ichika Matsumoto started out as a cosplaying idol, showing up at “underground idol” events under the name Itsuki Aimi. But her beauty was too great to keep her out of the JAV industry for long, and she soon received an offer to become a full-blown Japan AV idol. She’s got the perfect face and body type to play the imouto (younger sister) character in our fantasies.

#9 Hikaru Nagi: Beauty and the Breasts
There are two big reasons why Hikaru Nagi became so popular in the JAV world, and they’re both attached to her chest. Nagi started out as a swimsuit model, then dipped her toe into nude modeling, making quite a splash in a spread in FRIDAY magazine back in 2020. She soon took the plunge into full JAV, and we’re glad she did! She’s appeared in popular works, including Hikaru Nagi S1 1st Year Anniversary Best 12 Hours Special and K-cup ASMR Masturbation Support.
J-List stocks all Hikari Nagi’s region-free Blu-ray offerings for you here!
#8 Kanna Seto Might Have a Perfect Body
Another JAV actress who started out as a sexy swimsuit model before receiving offers to become a JAV actress. She was unsure at first, then decided that “the difference between a swimsuit and full nudity is just a few bits of fabric. Why not give it a try?” Her perfectly-shaped 101 cm J-cup breasts have won her many fans, and it’s especially nice looking at them in full 1080p!

#7 Shunka Ayami Avoids Watching Her Own Videos
Shunka Ayami is an incredibly beautiful Japanese AV idol who exudes confidence with every performance. Surprisingly, she prefers to avoid sex in her private life, saying that she hasn’t had a boyfriend since age 18, because she gets all the sex she needs at work. She also avoids watching her own videos. “I would be way too embarrassed to do that, and see my ass shaking as I was getting railed. No, thank you!”

#6 Rara Anzai, Better Known as RION
This actress has debuted three separate times on the S1 No. 1 Style label: first as Shion Utsunomiya in 2013, then as RION in 2015, and finally as Rara Anzai in 2019. Although she’s famous for her 105-cm J-cup breasts, she actually considers them “too big” and wishes they were smaller.

#5 Suzu Honjo is Pure Elegance
Suzu Honjo is an elegant actress who was born on a grape farm in rural Yamanashi Prefecture, at the base of Mt. Fuji. When she moved to Tokyo she was almost immediately approached with an offer to perform in the AV industry. She’s a big fan of saunas as a way to promote a healthy lifestyle.

#4 JULIA is a J-Cup Legend in the JAV World
Another amazing face in Japan’s adult film world is JULIA. Before her debut back in 2010, JULIA was working as a registered nurse, and also held a bookkeeping certification. While many JAV actresses have only limited sexual experience before joining the industry, JULIA had been with 30 partners by age 17. We can really feel that incredible sexual confidence while watching her on-screen today. More than any other JAV actress, JULIA has had incredibly realistic “Meiki” onaholes made based on scans of her body.

#3 MINAMO Is Popular with Female Fans
We love the bold JAV put out by Soft on Demand over the years, and one of their top JAV idols is MINAMO. She started out as a traditional model until SOD discovered her and offered her a contract to perform exclusively on their label. Impressively, many of MINAMO’s fans are women, who are fascinated by her beautiful body and positive approach to sex.

#2 Yua Mikami Went from Japan’s Top Idol Group to Japanese AV Actress
Yua Mikami was riding high as a member of major idol group SKE48 under the name Momona Kito. Then a scandal hit, related to her inability to follow the strict “no dating” rules imposed on all idols, and she was forced out of the group. She got her revenge, though, by debuting as a JAV actress and smashing all previous sales records. In addition to her porn work, Yua runs an apparel brand and has performed in several idol groups with other JAV actresses.

#1 The Top of J-List’s JAV Actress Ranking: Hitomi Tanaka
Finally, the top-selling Japanese AV idol is Hitomi Tanaka. She’s got a mind-blowing pair of 116-cm O-cup breasts. She debuted back in 2008, immediately winning fame for her legendary bakunyu (“explosive breasts”). Hitomi has not only been active in Japan: she’s fluent in English and has toured internationally, modeling lingerie and swimwear and appearing at fan events.
