AV Production

Companies that produce and sell adult video in Japan can be classified into three groups: Mainstream, Independent and Underground.

Mainstream AV are the mostly widely available in Japan both in retail and rental stores. They are also the first to feature the most popular female stars, the girls you see in the magazines.

Kuki is by far the largest conglomerate of AV producers in Japan. Over time, they have built up affiliations with 8 production houses. Kuki, Atlas 21, Cosmos, Alice Japan, MAX-A, Big Morkal, Sexia and Gorilla. Although they do have some amateur series and the occasional bondage or rape-themed release, most of their bread and butter is presenting the freshest starlets in their first video releases.

HRC (Human Relation and Confidence) is a smaller AV production group consisting of the Cher, Rouge and Zoom labels. They still get the cute girls but they only release a fraction of titles as compared to Kuki.

Kasakura is a fairly prolific AV production firm whose videos range from pretty girl to amateur, madam, rape and bondage.

HMP (Houya Media Produce) is yet another group of AV makers in the Mainstream category. If you come across videos labels with names like Samm, Tiffany, Miss Christine, For You, Q, Jamm, Cream, 10, Video Bank or Sex 9, it came from HMP. Again, a little amateur thrown into the mix but predominantly straight sex, AV actress titles.

Cinemagic produces bondage and S&M. Occasionally you will see an actress in one of these videos who you recognize from a more milder video genre (e.g. Sanae Asoh, Nao Hirosue and Maria Yumeno), but this is the exception rather than the rule.

Marx Brothers is a fairly new mainstream AV firm. They have three labels: Princess, Super Burroughs and Boda. Princess is all AV Idol while the other two run the gamut from amateur to costume play to big boob videos.

Independent video companies differ from the mainstream groups in that they don't subject their videos to the censorship standards of the Eirin, a non-governmental organization made up of 23 movie studios. This has two consequences. Independent videos generally contain less censorship but since the Eirin also controls the video rental market, the indie titles are not widely available for rental by consumers but only through retail sales. In addition, many indie studios shoot for the fringe market genres so you're more likely to find your more adventuresome fetish subjects within this group.

Soft On Demand is definitely the leader among independent AV filmmakers. They often get former mainstream video starlets into their videos (Bunko Kanazawa, Ryo Hitomi, Mao Misaki) and also have an exclusive contract with a starlet of their own: Kurumi Morishita. SOD videos cover a very wide range of kinky stuff like rape, bondage, sperm and even taboo subjects like lesbian and anal sex.

Momotaro wins the battle for having the least censorship of any large independent AV producer because they use a special digital mosaic mask. Also, they mercifully tend to avoid producing videos that revolve around plots and complex story structure. Momotaro has a cadre of AV stars that seem to pop up every once in a while (like Ruri Ikenouchi and Nana Housho) but they tend to go with new talent most of the time. They have long running series focusing on fudols, kogals and amateurs, but the most popular by far is the Bejean series.

Moodyz (formerly Mr. President) works very hard on getting well known AV stars in their videos. A lot of their titles revolve around costume play, but they also delve into amateur, light rape and bondage themes.

Waap videos are predominantly AV idol videos. They produce the excellent Dream Shower series which is part bukkake and part gang bang.

Audaz features AV idols along with amateur titles in its catalog. Their Face series is one of their most well known.

Wanz Factory is one of the newest indie companies and mostly produces videos starring AV idols. They also feature big boob compilations.

NOTE: There are too many independent AV firms to be listed here.
