Sorting out Kyoto Sun will prove to be a challenge due in part to her multiple stage names. If one will check the iafd, IMDb and adultfilmdatabases you will see that the films of several different starlets may be combined that have performed under similar names. In particular Suki Yu may be a separate APH. There may also have been a JAV star named Kyoto also confusing the issue.The only sure way to sort this out is to view all the movies that are credited to her/them.

1. I have not been able to find any APH in the iafd prior to 1974 that definitely performed hard core. "Deep Throat" ushered in the modern era of porn in 1972. Kyoto Sun's performance in "Sins of Sandra" released in 1970 may garner her the honor as "THE" first APH as well as "THE" first modern porn star, however it is likely that this was a soft core endeavor. The world needs to know if:

a. This was a hardcore Boy/Girl performance, G/G or non-sex?

b. If B/G, the exact street date needs to be determined because it has been reported released at different times.

c. Did this performer became the APH Kyoto Sun? If it is, she still may be the first APH to appear on film from a major studio.

2. Any biographical information would be helpful along with a source for better photographs.

3. Reviews of any of her performances would be appreciated and posted. Many early porno's are poorly shot and edited and therefore it would be helpful to identify her best work so others may enjoy.
