[4] Her stage name, given to her by her agency, is taken from Kanazawa Bunko, a train station, museum, and historic library in Kanagawa Prefecture, where she lived at the start of her career.
[4] Kanazawa made her AV (adult video) debut with the Media Station Cosmos Plan label in the August 1997 release 18 Years Old.
[13] The "Special Edition" series continued in September 1998 with the release of Kanabun Typhoon Going North, which had highlights from four of her videos.
It was claimed that the picture was so clear, Kanazawa's pubic hair (the display of which was banned by Japanese censorship laws), could be seen.
Her January 1999 entry in Alice Japan's popular Female Ass (女尻, Meijiri) series focuses on various manipulations of the actress's posterior, and includes scenes with panties and lotion.
[23] In September 1999, Max-A chose to star Bunko Kanazawa in the first video in the revival of its popular Confined Bodydolls.
[4] Her first video to make use of this common theme in Japanese erotica was Uniform Indecent Doctrine, which had been released by Cosmos Plan in October 1998.
In addition, this cosplay-themed video had Kanazawa wearing the costumes of a nurse, an elevator girl, and a policewoman in a miniskirt.
This release focused on Kanazawa's career and stories of how she reached the number one spot in the Japanese AV industry.
[35] After almost three years away from the mainstream Japanese porn scene, Kanazawa made a comeback in December 2007 with a new video for Moodyz (Hyper-Digital Mosaic Vol.072)[36] and one in January 2008 for DAS (Semen Urine Human Toilet).
She continued her career through 2008 and early 2009 with a series of videos for Attackers with director Kenzo Nagira and the AV Grand Prix entry for the new studio Ran Maru titled Fuck Me and I Go Wild!
