Meet Japan’s Oldest Porn Star Who Recently Retired At Age 80

After a decade of peeling off for X-rated
movies, a Japanese porn actress famous for
being the country’s oldest has called it
quits — at the ripe old age of 80.
Maori Tezuka, a former opera singer who
made her debut in Japan’s flourishing
“silver porn” industry at a sprightly 71,
blamed her decision partly on a lack of
red-blooded Lotharios able to keep up with
her.
“Once the lights go on, you just do your
best,” she told local media.
“I have no regrets, but shooting became
difficult when the actor wasn’t my type,”
added Tezuka, who in true showbiz
fashion left the door open for a possible
return.
“It was never about the money for me. I’ve
already been asked about returning in two
or three years — I said I’d think about it.”
Geronto-porn is not for the faint-hearted
but is big business in Japan where around
34 million people — or a quarter of the
population — are over 65.
Japan’s porn industry rakes in about $20
billion a year, with movies featuring
rambunctious geriatrics accounting for
around a quarter of that market, industry
insiders say.
In recent years sales have soared as more
of the country’s perky seniors celebrate
their mojo.
The genre took off thanks largely to the
exploits of Shigeo Tokuda, an 82-year-old
actor who has appeared in hundreds of
blue movies with titles such as “Forbidden
Elderly Care” and “Manic Training of
Lolitas”.
