““Those are the moments I live for.””
Kazumi channeled Fast & Furious vibes in her exclusive photoshoot as the May Twistys Treat of the Month.
Clad in a shiny black mini-skirt and matching bustier with high-heeled boots, the Filipino star waved a checkered flag while posing in front of a black classic hot rod.
Think Twistys meets Hot Import Nights.
It wasn’t lost on Kazumi that she has joined a distinguished group of women who have been crowned Twistys Treat of the Month—an honor that was first bestowed in August 2005. “It’s always super exciting and such a blessing to continually have my name spoken about
and to get these opportunities,” Kazumi tells AVN.
“I feel like I haven’t really done anything this year. It’s definitely been different than my first
year in the [mainstream] industry when I had wins everywhere and made a lot of progress. So far this has been a quieter year for me so it’s nice to have people still think of me.”
But the notorious independent creator is being modest—she’s just four months removed from co-hosting the 2024 AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas along with Luna Star and Emily Lynne as the trio graced adult’s biggest stage for the 41st edition of the iconic ceremony.
The enterprising influencer—a former marketing exec from LA—embarked on her path to porn stardom after deciding to focus on her OnlyFans in the spring of 2020.
Even though she had yet to launch her Instagram, her first viral moment came in March of that year, when she decided to Photoshop her face with a Fox News headline that she got booted out of Harvard.
Hundreds of memes later, Kazumi has established herself as one of adult’s most creative promoters. For starters, Kazumi has utilized airplane banners, box trucks and Hollywood billboards to get the word out about her adult endeavors in the past four years.
She left nothing to chance for her Twistys Treat girl/girl scene, asking the sensational Nicole Doshi to join her in what was only the second studio scene Kazumi has done with another girl.
“I’m pretty proud of it,” Kazumi says. “I requested Nicole because she’s one of the girls I have a really good rhythm with on set. Being in the industry for a little while now I think I know what I’m doing a little bit.”
Day 1 of her Twistys spotlight saw her doing a solo session.
“That was pretty cute. It was my first ever solo mainstream shoot,” she confesses. “I feel so shy about it. I always like to have a dance partner. I don’t ever do solo stuff.”
