Life Story

Natsume was born on January 23, 1982 in Sakai, Osaka, Japan. After graduation from high school Natsume worked in various occupations, including as a dental assistant and in real estate. She began her entertainment career with appearances in On Girls' File and Cure Sick Night, local late night television shows in Osaka. She was first scouted for work in the adult entertainment field in 2002. Moving to Tokyo, she appeared in photo features for several magazines including Shukan Gendai and Weekly Post. She was also featured in an "image" (non-nude) DVD, and in a photobook entitled 727.

Natsume first appeared for the Soft On Demand adult video company as the host of their AV awards ceremony held at Tokyo's Shinjuku Century Hyatt hotel on November 26, 2003. Her debut video for the company, entitled simply Debut, was released in January, 2004. Relatively sexually conservative and inexperienced, Natsume feels that what stands out in her first video is, "Just how embarrassed I look during the entire thing." She claims that her first experiences with both paizuri and masturbation occurred during AV shoots.

She was awarded the AV Grand Prix by Tokyo Sports magazine for 2005. She earned mention in a Mainichi Shimbun story in 2006 by starring in Dirty DVD for Girls, a pornographic video targeted for women. The newspaper described Natsume as, "one of the biggest stick flick starlets in Japan."

In October 2007 she was featured in the popular culture magazine, Spa!. In her article, in which she gave advice to men seeking success in the area of romance, she stressed the virtues of good grooming and personal hygiene to her reading audience. Tokyo gossip newspapers had previously reported Natsume's announcement that she would retire from the porn industry at the end of October 2007. She has also admitted that she was actually born in 1980, not 1982 as her agency has publicized.
