Career

Early life and AV debut

Ryōko Mitake was born in Tokyo on December 3, 1982. She was not a sexually precocious youngster, and did not engage in sex for the first time until she was 17, with a 21-year-old boyfriend. By the time of her debut in the AV industry, she had had sex with five men. Mitake wears a Japanese E-cup bra, but says that she is not happy with her breasts, which she believes have a "squashed" look.

Mitake was scouted to appear in AVs while in Ikebukuro by a bill-poster for the company. Mitake was immediately suspicious when the scout asked, "Would you like to do nude modeling?" She had watched a few AVs with lesbian or "molester" themes, so she decided to give it a try. Mitake's first AV contract was for twelve consecutive videos to be made alternately for the Alice Japan and the Max-A Samansa labels.
