Life and Career
Riria Yoshikawa was born on July 11, 1970 in Tokyo, Japan and made her adult video (AV) debut at age twenty in the November 1990 Alice Japan release, Can You Turn Around? (ふりむいても紅色, Furimuite-kurenai?). The next year, Yoshikawa was the star of director Sachi Hamano's pink film, Inran Bishimai: Gikei Asari (いんらん美姉妹 義兄あさり?) released by Exces in April 1991. Later that year in August 1991, she also had a role in the Daiei Film V-cinema release Fashion and Health Story (フアッションヘルス物語, Fuasshonherusu monogatari?).
She became one of the most popular AV idols in Japan during the early 1990s, and retired at the end of 1991 when she married Jun Fujioka (藤岡純), a male pornographic film actor. Some years after her retirement, she appeared in an AV titled Lyric Fantasy with her husband.
In 2002, she joined former AV actress Rui Sakuragi in a voice role for the anime erotic-horror film Youjuu Kyoushitsu Chapter 2 (Demon Beast Invasion Chapter 2).
More than a dozen years after her retirement, Alice Japan released a DVD, No Cut 4 Hours!! Riria Yoshikawa, containing 4 of her earlier videos with the company. In June 2007, Fairy released a 90 minute uncensored video (without the mosaic pixelation to obscure the genitals required in Japanese porn) starring Yoshikawa called Forever Vol. 6.
