## Early life and gravure career
Her listed profile gives a birth date of 1988, blood type AB, a height of 157 cm, and gymnastics as a special skill.[4](https://www.duo-official.com/models/m-aino-kishi/) Her birthplace is reported differently by sources: the profile carried by her agency and makers gives Tokyo,[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) while several film databases list Hokkaido.[5](https://asianwiki.com/Aino_Kishi)
She began in entertainment by appearing in the gravure pages of the magazine *Young Gangan*, in the issue released on 16 March 2007.[4](https://www.duo-official.com/models/m-aino-kishi/) Within her first months she released two image DVDs, *Tenshi no Ufufu* (June 2007) and *Aino Memory* (September 2007), and the photobook *Ai no Hajimari*.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) The same year she also performed in the idol unit Half Moon, and her later debut title's name, "Active Idol Unit Member," took its name from that activity.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) In an interview, she said she entered the industry through scouting, and wrote at the time that her ambitions were to work broadly and someday run her own agency.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be)
## AV career
Kishi debuted in adult video on 22 February 2008, at age 20, with the Alice Japan release *Geneki Idol Unit Member Kishi Aino Debut*.[6](https://asia-fuzoku.com/post-25106) Her first two years were spent under an exclusive double contract with the Alice Japan ([Japan Home Video](https://www.edgepedia.org/japan-home-video)) and Max-A labels, releasing one new title each month in alternation from February 2008 to January 2010.[4](https://www.duo-official.com/models/m-aino-kishi/) Titles from this period included *Chou Kamerame Shugi* (a camera-facing format), *Deatte Nan-byo de Gattai*, and *Akogare no Kyousui Mizugi Instructor*.[6](https://asia-fuzoku.com/post-25106)
**Move to IdeaPocket.** From June 2011 she worked exclusively with IdeaPocket, where she became one of the studio's top actresses until her retirement.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) Letterboxd's filmography counts over 400 adult film appearances across her career.[3](https://letterboxd.com/actor/aino-kishi/) In the all-time popularity vote held for the industry's 30th anniversary, she placed 28th.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be)
## Television, V-cinema, and film
Alongside her AV work she appeared in mainstream and V-cinema productions. In July 2008 she appeared on [TV Tokyo](https://www.edgepedia.org/tv-tokyo)'s *Goddotan* in the "kiss endurance championship" segment, and in December 2008 she starred in three V-cinema releases: *Doutei no Dousei Nikki*, *Pachislot Battler Sakura*, and *Joutouden 2*.[4](https://www.duo-official.com/models/m-aino-kishi/) Her theatrical film credits include the ero guro action film *Samurai Princess*, in which she played the title character, the comedy *Rubbers*, and *Mask the Kekkou: Reborn* (2012).[3](https://letterboxd.com/actor/aino-kishi/) • [7](https://flixpatrol.com/person/aino-kishi/) In 2009 she published the book *Jirashi Sex* (Best Shinsho).[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) Her younger sister is the former talent Saki Serika.[8](https://tv.apple.com/jp/person/%E5%B8%8C%E5%BF%97%E3%81%82%E3%81%84%E3%81%AE/umc.cpc.7fc2exqaqd6a7hkvm9mswy25f)
## Ebisu Muscats and music
Ebisu Muscats, a large idol unit formed from TV Tokyo's late-night programming, made Kishi a variety-show regular. Sources describe her as a fourth-generation member who served as the unit's third leader; one account states she was a member of its first generation between 2008 and 2013.[9](https://www.excite.co.jp/news/dictionary/person/PE81271f35dda58f6c48a4887139b3eaf6c58b5625/) • [2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) • [3](https://letterboxd.com/actor/aino-kishi/) In 2011 she recorded the CD "Soba ni Ite Ne" with her *Onemus* co-stars Miyuki Yokoyama and Jessica Kizaki.[6](https://asia-fuzoku.com/post-25106) In February 2015 she released the single CD *Hikari* through MILKY POP GENERATION.[4](https://www.duo-official.com/models/m-aino-kishi/)
## Retirement and afterward
Kishi announced her retirement on stage at the 2015 DMM Adult Awards, where she received a special award.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) Her final AV work, *Abayo!-Thank You Aino Kishi Retirement Special*, was released on 12 December 2015, and she closed her blog on 31 December 2015, keeping her Twitter account as her only public channel.[10](https://blog.livedoor.jp/ainokishi/) She stated at the time that she had no plans for further entertainment work.[11](https://blog.livedoor.jp/ainokishi/archives/47898289.html)
She has since reappeared only in limited ways. In February 2022 she opened a secondary X account through which she works as a tarot card fortune-teller, and her occasional posts on her main account describe outdoor plans and birthday messages while the profile line "I have retired!!" remains.[2](https://note.com/meikan_db/n/na85b017d11be) A career-database retrospective describes the turn from a high-visibility entertainment career to the introspective field of fortune-telling as a second career welcomed by fans as honest to her own interests.[1](https://uchuwiki.com/w/%E5%B8%8C%E5%BF%97%E3%81%82%E3%81%84%E3%81%AE)
