Maria Ozawa, born on August 8, 1986, in Hokkaido, Japan, is of mixed heritage, with a Japanese mother and a French-Canadian father. She attended the Christian Academy in Japan, a respected international school based in Tokyo. Details of her post-secondary education remain largely unknown.
Ozawa began her career in entertainment at the age of 16 when she appeared in a 30-second Japanese television commercial for DARS Chocolate. Her early work centered on modeling, and during this period she was popularly known by her nickname “Miyabi.” This phase of her career established her public image and helped launch her into wider recognition within Japan’s entertainment industry.
Between 2005 and 2007, Maria Ozawa transitioned into the adult video (AV) industry. She began by modeling for the erotic website Shirouto-Teien.com before joining S1 No. 1 Style, a prominent AV studio specializing in soft-core productions. Her debut film, titled New Face – Number One Style, was released in 2005. Ozawa later stated in interviews that she was so nervous during the shoot, she could barely look at her co-star during their scenes.
Throughout her time at S1, she appeared in several compilation videos and also performed twice at the Shinjuku striptease venue "Shinjuku New Art," further signaling her growing popularity within the industry.
In 2007, Ozawa joined DAS, a newly launched AV company, which later released her first title under their label. Subsequently, she signed with Attackers, a more established production house that specializes in dramatic and thematic adult content. While some of the themes produced by these studios have stirred debate, Ozawa’s participation emphasized her status as a leading actress within the Japanese AV industry.
Alongside her AV career, Ozawa expanded into mainstream and soft-core entertainment. She appeared in a series of V-Cinema (direct-to-DVD) films, glamour videos, and released a photobook in 2006 titled Maria Ozawa's 1st Photobook – X★Star. Her mainstream acting break came in 2007, with a supporting role as Anita in the prime-time Japanese television drama Tokumei Kakarichō Tadano Hitoshi.
She also appeared on the variety show Megami no Hatena, further diversifying her entertainment portfolio and building a fanbase beyond the adult industry.
In 2008, Ozawa played the role of Dana in the Taiwanese horror film Invitation Only, widely recognized as one of Taiwan’s first mainstream horror movies featuring international cast members. The following year she appeared in the Indonesian comedy film Menculik Miyabi (translated as “Kidnapping Miyabi”), though her role was minor due to political and cultural sensitivity around her prior work in adult entertainment.
In 2010, she appeared in the Indonesian horror film Hantu Tanah Kusir, followed by a 2011 drama series titled Karei Naru Erogami-ke no Ichizoku: Shinsō Reijō wa Denki Shitsuji no Yume o Miru ka. Her consistent involvement in mainstream projects helped reposition her image within Asian entertainment markets.
In 2015, she played a leading role in the Filipino horror-action film Nilalang, which also starred local actors and gained critical attention. Her performance was praised for bridging cultural boundaries and introducing her to new audiences in Southeast Asia.
In 2012, Ozawa expressed an interest in relocating her career focus to the Chinese entertainment market. She was reported to be in talks to sign a deal with Beijing Tuopu Laiyin, though the long-term outcome of this endeavor remains unclear.
Maria Ozawa has appeared in various media formats beyond film and television. She starred in the official music video “Summer Time in the D.S.C.” in 2007 alongside Japanese hip-hop artist Seamo. Her modeling work has been frequently featured in publications such as Weekly Playboy.
Currently, she appears to be focusing more on her career as a mainstream actress and businesswoman. She is active on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter, where she maintains an extensive fan following. As of this writing, Maria Ozawa has not publicly confirmed any marriage, and her net worth remains under review.
