Yua Mikami — Biography

Yua Mikami is a Japanese artist who has worked as a singer, content creator on YouTube, and formerly in adult films. She initially rose to prominence as part of the idol ensemble SKE48, joining in 2009 and remaining until 2014. In 2015, she transitioned into the adult entertainment sector under the Muteki brand, eventually establishing herself as one of the most prominent and commercially successful performers in that field, earning multiple accolades along the way. Operating principally under the S1 No.1 Style imprint, she accumulated appearances in more than 200 adult productions, spanning standard releases, compilations, and virtual reality formats. Following her departure from the adult film industry in 2023 during her peak career period, Mikami shifted her focus toward building her presence as an online personality and entrepreneur. Beyond her work in adult entertainment, she maintained parallel involvement in music and entertainment throughout, serving as a member of both Ebisu Muscats since 2015 and Honey Popcorn beginning in 2018. She also secured appearances in the video game franchise Yakuza, specifically in installments 6 and Kiwami 2. A notable incident occurred in July 2013 when the publication Shūkan Bunshun released photographs of her engaged in an intimate moment with actor Yuya Tegoshi from May 2013, with claims that she had consumed alcohol and spent the night at his residence. The incident generated considerable controversy since she appeared with alcoholic beverages despite being below the legal drinking age at the time. As of May 2025, Mikami maintains a substantial social media following, including 3.7 million Instagram followers, 4.5 million TikTok followers, and 1.11 million YouTube subscribers.
