Naho Ozawa (Japanese: 小沢菜穂? Hepburn: Ozawa Naho) (born January 26, 1983) is a Japanese model, singer, and a former AV idol. She retired from the adult industry in 2007.
Naho Ozawa was born on January 26, 1983 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan according to some online profiles, but a 2012 interview has her birthplace as Nagaoka in Niigata Prefecture. She trained as an esthetician, but the company she was about to join went bankrupt, leaving her unemployed. She was recruited into the adult video (AV) industry by a scout in Shibuya, Tokyo, and she made her debut as an AV actress in April 2002 at age nineteen. Her first video was My Birthday for the Try-Heart Corporation's Sexia label. In 2002, Ozawa made several other videos for the Sexia label, including the year end compilation SEXIA Collection 2002. For her work in her first year in the adult industry, Ozawa was awarded the 2002 X City Grand Prix Best New Actress Award, which was determined by an AV fan vote.
By the beginning of 2003, Ozawa was working for other AV companies as well as Try-Heart, including Max-A, Alice Japan, and VIP. In addition to her hardcore work in 2003, Ozawa also starred in the role of a school teacher in the softcore V-Cinema production Nō pan onna kyōshi 2 (ノーパン女教師２?), which was directed by Katsumi Nojiri and released by GP Museum. A DVD version came out in 2005. Also, in 2003, Ozawa teamed up with five other AV actresses, Saori Kamiya, Hitomi Hayasaka, Cocolo, Rei Itoh, and Natsuki, to film a 60-minute DVD showcasing their singing talent. The DVD, P.I.N. (Perfect Idol's Numbers), was released by Vega Factory in March 2003. Ozawa contributed to two numbers, a duet with Rei Itoh and the final ensemble piece. At the 2003 X City Grand Prix Awards held in December 2003, Ozawa was one of the actresses nominated for Best Actress.
