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.
