Maiko Kazama

[1] She began her acting career at least as early as December 1979 with the Shintōhō Eiga pink film Jokyoushi maruhi oshieteageru (女教師(秘)教えてあげる) directed by Kaoru Umezawa.

[4][5] She appeared in her first film for Nikkatsu in July 1980, the Roman Porno release Secret of Newlywed Wife (単身赴任 新妻の秘密, Tanshin Funin: Niizuma no Himitsu) directed by Shōgorō Nishimura.

[6] Pink film critics Thomas & Yuko Mihara Weisser credit Nishimura, who wrote and directed several of her features, with discovering and nurturing Kazama as a Nikkatsu actress and claim that though not a beautiful woman, she "smells of sex.

"[7] Two months after this film, Nishimura directed Kazama in a vehicle suited to her talents in an attempt to give Nikkatsu a new star to replace Naomi Tani who had retired in 1979.

"[10] In September 1981, Kazama was paired with Nikkatsu director Takashi Sugano in another film tailor-made for her, Poaching Wife: Frustrated Inside (密漁妻 奥のうずき, Mitsuryōzuma: okuno uzuki), where she plays a sexually aggressive woman who finds ecstasy in witnessing a murder.
