Asia Carrera

Description
Asia Carrera, born Jessica Steinhauser on August 6, 1973, is an American former adult film actress who also provided voice work for English-language adaptations of Japanese erotic anime, known as hentai, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her entry into anime voice acting was closely tied to her established career in the adult film industry, as she was cast in adult-oriented animated projects for publishers like Pink Pineapple. Carrera's voice roles are primarily associated with productions released in North America by distributors such as NuTech Digital.

Carrera's most notable voice acting credits are for her performances in two related hentai OVA series. In the Shusaku series, she voiced the character Ayaka Minami, a piano teacher and dormitory housekeeper, in both Shusaku the Letch (1999) and its sequel, Shusaku the Letch: Replay. In the Inmu series, she took on the role of the Mysterious Witch, appearing in Inmu (2001) and reprising the part for its sequel, Inmu 2. These roles often featured her alongside other adult film actresses who were also cast in the English dubs of these projects, such as Kobe Tai, Brittany Andrews, and Alexa Rae.

Carrera's work in anime represents a specific crossover between the adult film industry and the niche market for English-dubbed hentai in the United States. Her involvement was highlighted in promotional materials for these releases, with DVD packaging featuring interviews and photo galleries of her, using her fame from her primary career to market the animated features. This connection was also acknowledged at industry events; in October 2001, Carrera was an Opening Night Guest of Honor at the Big Apple Anime Fest in New York City, recognized specifically for her voice roles in anime.
