The Next Nao Masaki: JAV Actresses turned Directors

Rena Aoi

We start off with one who actually already doing it. Rena Aoi a long time actress known for her tiny petite body and terrific performing is now a JAV director. Retiring in front of the camera to take the reins behind it. Rena was fantastic in bed and even better at acting when she was active; two skills she can utilize behind the camera. Is she the next Nao? Time will tell. She’s still finding her voice as a director and it will be time before studios let her make the videos she wants to. From what little she's made so far I would liken her similarly to Nao in that she also prefers shooting videos with more aggressive and assertive women. Unlike Nao her videos are less loud and wild. Aesthetically some of her videos were more on the lighter, brighter, and colorful side. While it’s unlikely to see Rena jump into the action, I am very interested to see how she does as a director and what kind of videos she gravitates towards in the future. I can't wait to see what a signature series from Rena looks like. The best candidate for the Next Nao Masaki because she's actually doing it.

Nanami Kawakami

Next up we have Nanami Kawakami. A retired actress who was another great performer and an even better actress on paper. When she was on, her acting was something to see. I really think that good actors can make for good directors. They understand bringing performances to life and can impart that to others. Nanami even made a small go at it on the silver screen; appearing in shows like The Naked Director and Tokyo Vice. Her acting career seems currently on pause after she became pregnant. Perhaps in the future she could return to JAV to impart her acting chops on a new generation.

Makoto Toda

Another good performer both in and out of bed was Makoto Toda. A very over the top performer who always gave it her all in scenes who was quite good at the ahegao stuff. Makota always brought the enthusiasm. The long time SOD star is now retired but someone with her skills could be a good director. In fact, as a gimmick, she directed one of her own videos in SDAB-025. So she has some experience already and she's also gotten into writing novels post porn. With her acting and writing chops I think Makoto is a dark horse candidate to be a good director.

Mana Sakura

My next pick is Mana Sakura. The old SOD star is known for short looks and really nice small body in JAV. A seasoned and well respected actress; both for her videos ad how she presents herself. Outside of porn however she is known for her writing as a published author with multiple novels and books to her name. Quite a few of her stories focusing on AV, sex, and sexuality. As a writer I think she could create truly interesting and creative works in the plot leaning JAV industry. Plots and stories that go beyond the cookie cutter affair we see. In SDMM-109 she does a little bit of scene direction with a man and a woman. Telling them how to pleasure each other with her usual calming and comforting presence. JAV actress, writer, JAV director; I would love to see Mana do it all.

Hibihata: Yui Hatano and Hibiki Otsuki

It’s not all about acting and writing. Sometimes it’s by experience, connections, and reputation; traits these two have plenty of. I am talking about the pair of Yui Hatano and Hibiki Otsuki also known as Hibihata. Either would be great choices as directors as they are known very well throughout the industry. Their names could draw in viewers wanting to see their directed movies and also talent wanting to work with performers who have been there and done that. The pair have met with lots of actresses and actors over the years. Newer actresses in particular could clamor at the chance with working with the legends for the exposure or be at ease working for directors who have been in their shoes.

Riho Shishido

A relative newbie is up next in Riho Shishido a debut from 2022. A lovely woman with a curvy and soft body who is also a good performer and actress out the gate. Very emotive and passionate. Outside of JAV she has shown a huge interest and love into cinema. A big movie lover as shown on her social media accounts. Maybe that love of cinema can translate into some interesting cinematography as a JAV director. She could bring a lot of inspiration and ideas for mainstream cinema. Anyways this would be a long time in the working as she's still quite new. All coming hopefully after Riho has had a long career in JAV.
