1) A 2012 article from Japan Today reported that approximately 20,000 adult videos were released annually in Japan and Annual Debuts: Approximately

5) Hibiki Ōtsuki (大槻ひびき) Active Years: 2008–present Estimated Film Count: Over 2,000 titles

8) Ai Uehara (上原亜衣) is widely recognized as one of the most prolific actresses in the Japanese adult video (JAV) industry. While exact numbers vary across sources, it's estimated that she appeared in over 1,000 titles during her active years from 2011 to 2016.
9) Active Performers: While exact numbers fluctuate, it's estimated that tens of thousands of women have participated in JAV productions over the years.
10) Fuzoku (Commercial Sex Services) (Not including Papakatsu, 立ちんぼ, Enjo)
(from 2022 article) Active Workers: Estimates suggest that around 300,000 women are registered as sex workers in Japan's fuzoku industry.
(from 2009 article) Industry Value: The fuzoku sector is a significant part of Japan's economy, with an estimated value between ¥2 to ¥3 trillion.
According to surveys and fūzoku industry blogs, only 10–15% of Japanese men (18–65) visit fūzoku regularly.
That’s about 6 to 9 million men nationally.
But most don’t use fuzoku often. The top 1% of customers (wealthy businessmen, salarymen in certain industries) are called ヘビーユーザー
("heavy users").
11) Very odd Japan has booming sex business but Japan is perceived as a sexless country (for married people)
Married Couples: A 2024 survey by the Japan Family Planning Association found that 48.3% of married couples had not engaged in sexual activity
in the past month, marking an increase from 31.9% in 2004.
Oddly when looking at Happymail or J-mail there are a lot of married woman looking for sex!!
