Maiko Yūki (Japanese: 夕樹舞子 Hepburn: Yūki Maiko?, born January 30, 1977) is a Japanese AV idol, actress and stripper. She was one of the top AV idols in the mid-1990s and was named the "AV Girl of the Year" in 1998, but her career in adult videos spanned more than 15 years.
Maiko Yūki was born Maki Wakui (涌井 麻紀 Wakui Maki?) on January 30, 1977 in Niigata Prefecture to a family in the construction business. Both of her parents had been gang members, and Yūki was also a rowdy student who claims to have never lost a fight with a girl or boy. Family difficulties led her to run away from home several times by the eighth grade. Expelled on her first day in high school for fighting with the teacher, she returned home and began working as a golf caddy at a club. She had been determined to keep her virginity until marriage, however, at the age of 17 she was raped by her boyfriend's brother, the leader of a local gang. Shattered by the experience, she developed a fear of men.
Yūki entered an acting school where she met an AV actress manager and she made the decision to perform in adult videos as a way of confronting and resolving her fears. Her debut video was the April 1995 h.m.p. Tiffany release, Shōjokyu Sotsugyo ~Graduation~. Her first day on the set was difficult, and the shooting was delayed for five hours due to her emotional state. Yūki says that the AV staff were understanding, and this helped her to overcome her difficulties with her first video. She contrasts the AV staff's sympathetic attitudes with the more impersonal treatment she has had on television programs and for magazines. At first, her family was against her AV career, but they came to lend support for the signing event after her first AV release. For the next year, Yūki mostly alternated monthly videos for h.m.p. and another studio Cosmos Plan until her final work for h.m.p. Good-bye in May 1996. Yūki also had a role in a mainstream production, the animated science fiction film The End of Evangelion, released in July 1997.
