Ayase Maiko (Sawaguchi Maria)(綾瀬麻衣子（沢口まりあ）)

Ayase Maiko, also known as Sawaguchi Maria, is a Japanese adult video (JAV) actress with a career spanning multiple years and production companies. Her filmography suggests that she debuted in the adult entertainment industry sometime before 2003 under the name Sawaguchi Maria, before taking a break and then re-emerging under the name Ayase Maiko around 2018. She gained significant recognition and continued to be active well into the 2020s. Her earlier works as Sawaguchi Maria leaned towards standard JAV themes, but upon returning as Ayase Maiko, she became known for a specific niche: mature women, particularly married women (人妻 – hitodzuma), often in scenarios involving affairs, family members (stepmother, mother-in-law), or workplace situations. She worked with studios like V&R Planning and h.m.p in the earlier part of her career. A significant portion of her later work was produced by Madonna, where she became an exclusive actress. She also collaborated with SOD Create. Recurring themes in her JAVs include forbidden relationships, digital mosaic censorship ("デジモ" - dejimo), and scenarios centered around mature female sexuality. She has appeared in numerous series, often focused on specific themes like "Madonna美熟女SEXカレンダー" or scenarios like "妻には口が裂けても言えません、義母さんを孕ませてしまったなんて…." Ayase Maiko's performances often portray her as a sensual and experienced woman, exploring taboo subjects with a focus on the emotional and physical aspects of her roles. She has also ventured into VR JAV content, further expanding her presence in the industry. Later in her career, she created documentary-style JAVs, documenting her retirement from the industry.
