“It’s really not even about competing with other people, it’s how far can I take this?”
“Eschewing the traditional studio-focused path, Kazumi is leveraging many of the self-publishing platforms performers now have access to, and pairing this with a strong work ethic and aggressive social media and marketing efforts.
White continues, “Kazumi’s brand tactics and strategies are a great example of ways performers can utilize the myriad tools and assets now available to content creators to establish themselves in adult entertainment on their own terms and in line with their own brand.
“Kazumi and I have shot a number of scenes together, including our most recent threesome with Johnny Sins. I loved how genuinely excited Kazumi was to fuck us both. The energy on set was great and the fans loved the scene.”
In mid-September she dropped an orgy/gangbang on her OnlyFans with Savannah Bond, Karmen Karma and seven guys—one of which was Harden. She’s no stranger to gangbangs— she used to do them for free at private sex clubs that she began frequenting at 19.
“She’s amazing,” Harden, the Vixen Media Group exclusive from Charlotte, N.C. by way of Atlanta, tells AVN. “We’ve shot together five or six times...When I first met her she obviously had a bubbly personality and was really nice and sweet.”
He adds, “She’s super hard-working. She runs all this stuff herself—all the marketing, all the trucks with her name on it... She’s really smart and made for the business.”
Anton was one of 30 special guests at the first edition of the Kazumicon Supper Club, an eight- course, gourmet dinner party that she paid for and hosted in August.
Attendees left with swag in hand—such as the Kazumi Squirts cartoon keychain that Harden uses now.
“So I made these stickers that say Zero Slurp Alert and I put them on these takeout boxes,” Kazumi says. “I did a little bit of graphic design before, so it’s kind of fun... I made my own menus and made these adult goodie bags. And then the condoms said We Met at the Kazumicon Mixer.”
Kazumi is smiling today even though the past 24 hours were a roller coaster—her main Instagram got deleted, but she also enjoyed her best day ever on OnlyFans with $21K—her daily average is $10K.
She reveals her first “big month” on the platform was July 2020, when she made $16K. By December of that year she reached another milestone, recording her first six-figure month.
“From there I was like I want to hit $200K a month,” Kazumi recalls. “Just because I saw someone else do it and that’s why I feel like I always will communicate my numbers. Because I feel like in a world where we have so many glass ceilings, I want to show people you can do it yourself.
“I didn’t have assistance or an agency or management. You can figure it out and scale up yourself.”
