Chinese Adult Film Stars
From early trailblazers to today’s headline names, Chinese adult film stars of Chinese descent have been key contributors to the Asian genre of the industry. Mai Lin emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as one of the first mainstream Asian stars in adult films. In the 1990s, Kobe Tai’s popularity brought more attention to Asians within the industry, opening the doors for more diversity. Building on that legacy, the 2020s have seen performers like Lulu Chu and Nicole Doshi become prominent and award-nominated stars at the forefront of adult entertainment.
