[edit]Honoka began her adult video career in June 2004 with Bud for the Try-Heart Corporation on their Sexia label.[4] She made several more videos with Try-Heart over the next 18 months[5] and in March 2006, she starred in videos for two new AV studios, Sell Debut x Risky Mosaic, directed by Hideto Aki, at S1 No. 1 Style[6][7] and Deep Impact - Honoka Sell Debut for the Premium Glamour label.[8] She continued working with the two studios usually appearing in one video every other month for each studio. Her last original work with S1 was released in January 2008, but she continued to make films with Premium until her retirement.[5] Both S1 and Premium are affiliated with Japan's largest producer of adult videos, the Hokuto Corporation.[9]
During Honoka's AV career, she worked for studios which specialized in softer, more glamour-oriented types of pornography,[10][11] and she was one of the most popular AV actress in Japan. In the DMM listing of the top 100 actresses by sales, she placed No. 2 in 2006 and No. 3 in 2007.[12][13] She also won the Nice Body award from Video Boy magazine twice, in 2005 and in 2006.[14]
Honoka was part of the S1 compilation video Hyper – Barely There Mosaic (ハイパーギリギリモザイク) with AV idols Sora Aoi, Yua Aida, Yuma Asami, Maria Ozawa and Rin Aoki which won the 2006 AV Open competition among Japanese porn studios.[15] She was also the recipient of the "Best Actress" prize at the 2007 Adult Broadcasting Awards for the 2006 broadcast year. After pressing her tongue against the phallus-shaped prize statuette, she declared "I never thought I would be selected. I'd like to say that it was 'my pleasure' to my fans." In closing, she added "I want to be more famous in the AV field" and "I also want to encourage other girls to strive to be the best.[16] Honoka was again honored by fans by winning the Best Actress award in the 2006 AV Actress Grand Prix.[17] Another of her S1 videos, Hyper Risky Mosaic - Special Bath House Tsubaki (ハイパーギリギリモザイク
Honoka announced in her Official Blog that she was retiring in December 2008 and that her December 7, 2008 video for Premium, Pleasures of Education, would be her last.[20][21] She participated in one final event for Premium by making a round of publicity appearances at Tokyo shops on December 20, 2008.[21] She also acted as co-host with mainstream actor Nagare Hagiwara for the 2009 AV Grand Prix ceremony.[22] She has continued to keep her blog open.
In 2012, the major Japanese adult video distributor DMM held a poll of its customers to choose the 100 all time best AV actresses to celebrate the 30th anniversary of adult videos in Japan. Honoka finished in 37th place in the balloting.[23]
