Do you remember when Yua Mikami made her official debut in the AV industry? Not only did it create a sensational buzz, but it also marked the arrival of a "trailblazing" actress, much like the legendary Kaede Matsushima or Akiho Yoshizawa, who symbolized a new era in the industry. However, alongside Yua Mikami, another rising star made a surprisingly bold entrance into the scene. She transformed and dove into the world of adult films with the title of an "Savior of AV"—yes, we're talking about "Seiko Takahashi".

2. Debut Journey
Back in 2012, Seiko Takasaki was still working as a gravure idol as part of a maid idol group "Moery Star." She also joined the idol group CAMOUFLAGE as a guitarist in October of the same year. In 2015, although she was selected as a member of Nippon TV's 2015 Genic, she declined and left her agency's "Heatline Promotion" in 2016.

Why did she leave? A significant reason was the media's leak of a "compensated dating incident," which shattered the pure image of Seiko Takahashi, who was hailed as the "Savior of the Busty Idol Industry" of the future.
After halting her entertainment career, Takahashi spent most of her time at home without work until she received an offer to star in adult films. With the desire to reconnect with her fans, Seiko Takasaki accepted the offer and debuted under the name Seiko Takahashi.
In 2016, Seiko Takahashi made her grand entrance into the AV world with her debut film "TEK-077 Gravia Four Heavenly Kings Takasho MUTEKI Debut Takahashi Shoko" under MUTEKI.

With an astonishing debut, Seiko Takahashi immediately swept up numerous awards at the Adult Video Grand Prix, winning the top prize in multiple categories, including the "AV OPEN 2016" General Award, disc sales, distribution, rental, actress, and fan-voted Best Film and Best Actress awards—seven awards in total.
Despite making a sensational debut, Takahashi did not extensively participate in various AV-related activities, and after 2016, she was rarely seen outside of her film appearances. However, her consistent monthly releases kept fans loyally supporting her until April 1, 2022.

5. Conclusion
While becoming an AV actress may have happened by chance, it's inevitably Takahashi's destiny. With her own realization of being "broke," pursuing a lucrative career in AV was the quickest legitimate path for women boasting top-tier beauty and voluptuous figures like hers.
However, Koyuki believes there's always been a musical dream in her heart, which may be a significant factor in her decision to retire. Although she cited shooting safety and physical well-being, perhaps finding her true passion was the only way to give up a high-paying job that only top-tier actresses could have!
