Biography[]
Not much is known about Asami's past, except that she ran away as a teenager and was found by Sugimura in Shinjuku five years before the main story. He ultimately decided to help her become famous, and promoted her as a 'pure style' idol, but due to his old-fashioned views about show business at the time, her career wasn't a success. At one point during the photoshoots, Asami did numerous slightly seductive poses, which earned her a large amount of compliments. Sugimura decided that he wanted Asami to be a model who does 'romantic poses', but this also proved to be unsuccessful, and since it was impossible to return to normal acting, Asami opted to become an AV instead.

Asami is a petite young woman with blonde hair that goes all the way to her shoulders and emerald green eyes. She usually dresses in loose sweaters that expose her chest, or tops, skirts and dresses with frills, bows and high heels. She also spots a necklace and earrings with pink pearls and hearts.
