Ayano Murasaki (紫彩乃 Murasaki Ayano?, also 紫綾乃) is a Japanese adult video (AV) performer.
Ayano Murasaki was born in the
Ibaraki Prefecture of
Japan on March 29, 1969. She made her adult video debut in late 2003 at the age of 34. The market for such "mature woman" or "madame" actresses appeared in Japanese porn films in the mid-1990s and the genre was popularized in AV in the late 1990s by director
Goro Tameike. By mid-2010 the market for mature videos had grown to the point where the major Japanese video distributor DMM listed over 14,000 items with the mature (熟女) keyword. Murasaki appeared in such "mature woman" videos for the
KMP Million Madams label and for
Madonna, an AV studio specializing in the genre.
Later in her career, Murasaki performed in videos for the
Cinemagic and
Dogma studios, known for their hardcore
bondage and
S&M material. Murasaki also starred in a number of "uncensored" videos (those without the pixellation of the genitals found in Japanese porn) released outside of Japan by
Sky High Entertainment and Oriental Dream Pictures.
In 2005, Murasaki received an adult film best actress award for Million Madam and in 2006 Murasaki was recognized by the AV industry and fans by being nominated for Best Mature Actress at the
Adult Broadcasting Awards for her performances in the 2005 broadcast year on Japanese adult TV.
In February 2011, Murasaki co-starred with Reiko Makihara in the
Madonna studio's first
3D video,
3D Co-Starring Mature Beauties: Tempting Love of Mother and Aunt.
