TOKYO — Vice has released a short documentary about Yuko Ogasawara, who is often billed as “the world’s oldest Japanese adult video star.”
The documentary, which debuted on Monday, is titled “The World’s Oldest Porn Star.” It features an interview with the 86-year-old Ogasawara, who shares stories about her journey in the adult industry, and also shows her home life.
Ogasawara, who shoots two titles a year, says she has no plans to slow down.
“Over the past six years,” a rep noted, Ogasawara has “ventured on a path of self-discovery: a housewife turned bar owner turned international sex symbol, pushing the boundaries of what people think a grandma can do.”
The piece situates Ogasawara in the world of “silver porn,” a Japanese adult video subgenre featuring senior citizens.
Ogasawara’s son is interviewed in the documentary as well, explaining, “I am 50 years old and my mother is a porn actress. I can’t tell that to anybody!”
