Kaho Shibuya (澁谷 果歩, Shibuya Kaho, born May 20, 1991) is a Japanese media personality and former AV idol.

Early life and career[edit]

Early life[edit]

Shibuya was born in Tokyo in 1991 to a prominent Japanese doctor,[2] and grew up watching Japanese anime and manga.[3] After graduating from high school, Shibuya studied English in Aoyama Gakuin University.[4] As a young adult, Shibuya became a baseball reporter for the daily newspaper Tokyo Sports, covering Nippon Professional Baseball's Pacific League from 2012 to 2014.[4] In September 2014, Shibuya passed the TOEIC with a score of 990 points. In 2016, she received qualifications in teaching English and in childcare.[4]

In May 2021, Shibuya revealed that at the age of 11, she was sexually abused by her elder brother, but her parents initially called her a liar when she confided them over the incident. Her porn career severely strained her relationship with her parents, who wanted to keep their reputation as model citizens.[5][better source needed]

Adult video career[edit]

Shibuya had a part-time job reviewing adult products, which eventually led her to debut in her first adult video in November 2014 through an exclusive deal with Alice Japan.[6][7] Throughout her career, she has released more than 750 films.[6]

From May 2015 to April 2016, Shibuya joined the Japanese AV idol group Sexy-J [ja] as its ninth member, and also recorded a single in August 2015. From April 2017 to November 2019, Shibuya hosted Kaho Shibuya's Tawawa Challenge on Japan's Skyperfect TV.[8]

Shibuya announced her retirement from the AV industry at an event held in Tokyo in May 2018.[6]

Later career[edit]

Since leaving the AV industry, Shibuya has moved on to a number of projects in the entertainment field.

Cosplay: Shibuya has since taken her love of anime and manga professionally, appearing as a cosplay guest at anime conventions internationally. She has also published two photo books of herself in various anime costumes.[9]
Acting: After having made her mainstream acting debut in the Japanese film Little Nights, Little Love [ja] in September 2019, Shibuya is currently lined up to be a voice actress in an upcoming untitled anime, which has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]
Hosting: Since August 2019, Shibuya has been the host of the radio show Kaho Shibuya's TOKUMORI.[11] She was also hired by a Japanese company to host their YouTube channel “おもちゃん -Omochan-” beginning in November 2018,[12][13] but would later quit in October 2021 when the company canceled a shoot because she wouldn't show enough skin.[14] In June 2020, she launched her Twitch channel.[15]
Writing: In July 2019, Shibuya wrote a memoir about her life in the AV industry which was published in 2020.[16][17][6] An English translation was published in March 2023.
