One of the founding figures of the Japanese adult video, she has been called indispensable to any discussion of the AV.[5] Mainichi Shimbun calls her "one of the icons of Japanese adult cinema history."[4] Her unprecedented popularity in the mid-1980s, the early days of the Japanese AV, earned her the title "Queen of AV."[6][7][8] According to an adult entertainment reporter for Shukan Shincho, "She laid the foundations for the golden age of adult video." After making her debut as a non-pornographic photobook and "image video" model, Kobayashi entered the AV field in 1986.[4] Because of her rapid popularity, Nikkatsu, Japan's leading producer of softcore pornography at the time, hired her to appear in theatrical films in 1987.[8] After marriage and a semi-retirement beginning in 1989, Kobayashi fully returned to the AV industry in 1998. She announced her retirement in 2003 with a big-budget, though controversial, two-volume farewell adult video.[10] Contents 1 Life and career 1.1 Early life 1.2 AV debut 1.3 Theatrical career 1.4 Later career 1.5 Hitomi Kobayashi FINAL 2 Selected theatrical releases 3 Notes 4 Sources 5 External links Life and career
