Athena Eizou or Athena Eizō (アテナ映像, Atena Eizō) is an early pioneering Japanese adult video (AV) production company. They have offices in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan. Athena Eizou was founded December 21, 1981, by pink film director Tadashi Yoyogi and Hikaru Kitoh (鬼闘光). The VCR and home video market in Japan was still very small at this time and Yoyogi, who has been described as the "Father of Japanese Adult Video", had produced his first adult video just a month before. Japanese adult entertainment audiences, however, were already moving away from the theatrical pink film and Athena Eizou and Yoyogi proved successful. The company's first star was Kyōko Aizome, called the "first hard-core porn actress in Japan", who appeared in several early releases in the 1980s. In the next decade, "big-bust" actress Mariko Morikawa made her AV debut with Athena with the July 1994 release Tits Way Too Huge. More information...
