LOS ANGELES — The 2026 XMAs, presented by Fansly, will once again light up the historic Hollywood Palladium in January, with multi-XMA award-winning superstars Violet Myers and Kazumi hosting the Adult Industry’s Biggest Night®.
“I was genuinely stunned and in disbelief when I was presented with the incredible honor,” said Myers. “The thought of co-hosting alongside Kazumi makes me even more excited. It is a huge milestone in my career.
“I can’t wait to bring my vision to life with all the fun looks and creative moments that come with hosting,” she added. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase a different side of myself that most people don’t get to see. Being able to honor my peers and contribute to such a special night fills me with gratitude.”
Hailing from Los Angeles, Myers has parlayed her cam-girl roots into a full-fledged brand that spans multiple platforms and genres. A decorated XMAs winner, she blends “gamer girl next door” charm with sharp instincts, rolling out high-impact performances, collabs and trend-savvy series, from ASMR to mainstream cooking and lifestyle vlogs.
Sharing hosting duties for the extravaganza will be the fashion-forward Kazumi, whose red-carpet swagger, viral social presence and fearless on-camera persona have made her a crossover sensation. With nearly a million followers across the social media firmament and a sharp eye for mixing sex with strategy, the Tokyo-born Kazumi has elevated her brand to a world-famous ecosystem.
“I was so excited to get the call,” Kazumi gushed. “During the first year of my career, I got to present at the XMAs. Now, coming into year three, being the host is such an honor.
“Presenting is cool, but hosting is when you get to really see our chemistry and personality!” she enthused. “I remember when Joanna Angel and Small Hands hosted, and Owen Gray came out for the opening and really played off of their energy.”
Both Myers and Kazumi predict that the secret sauce of their genuine friendship will make the evening even more special.
“Kazumi brings out a different, more playful side of me,” said Myers. “Our sense of humor together is like yin and yang: total opposites but perfectly balanced.”
Kazumi echoed the same sentiment.
“Violet and I share a lot,” she said. “I’d say we’re two sides of the same coin.”
Together, Kazumi and Myers will salute the industry with a show that’s fierce, funny and deeply connected to the vibrant community it celebrates.
The big night pops off on Sunday, Jan. 18, when the 2026 XMAs mark the glittering climax to a week of showbiz flair, including XBIZ Expo, XBIZ LA and X3 Expo.
