Akane Katahira

On January 1, adult video (AV) label Muteki released the debut film of a former member of Japan’s national synchronized swimming team.

The former athlete stars as Akane Katahira (@katahira_akane) in “Shock! Top Mermaid In Global Competition Makes Debut For Muteki” which is billed by the label as “maximizing a beautiful athletic body and a splendid G-cup chest for dynamic sex.”

Prior to her transition from pool to porn, the 26-year-old Tokyo native anticipated her gigantic chest posing a problem — as was the case when she competed as a swimmer — but, she tells Nikkan Spa!, such a concern proved to be overblown.

“When my chest began to grow during my first year of high school, it became a hindrance in competition — a synchronized swimmer can’t boast of having such a body,” the actress says.

The difference was apparent when she observed the top swimmers from overseas. “Their limbs were long, and their carriage movement very elegant,” she remembers.
