10. Kascha Papillon
Active: 1988-1994
Classic Work: Backdoor To Hollywood 6, Hawaii Vice series, Introducing Kascha
Website: kaschaxxx.com
Hailing from Hawaii, Kascha entered the industry in the late '80s appearing in a series of blazing pictorials for raunchy men's magazines before making the move to movies. Once on set, Kascha didn't do a lot of talking, but that never seemed to bother the legion of pervs wanking to her flicks. Her shocking bleach blonde hair and bodacious breast enlargement coupled with the fabricated selling point that she was half Swedish (she's actually full-on Chinese) added to her "exotic" look. But it worked. Once you saw Kascha you would never forget her. (Rumors still persist she had cosmetic surgery on her eyes to appear "more Caucasian.") Supposedly a promising high school tennis player and a trained classical pianist, Kascha did most of her dirty work with her husband, French porn actor Francois Papillon, but also managed to appear in a few low-budget cult classics like Class of Nuke 'Em High and Caged Fury.

9. Lily Thai
Active: 2003-2011
Classic Work: Asian Street Hookers 36, Bitches in Heat 1, Boz: When Big Just Ain't Enough, China Syndrome 1, Fuck Dolls 2, Hot Squirts, Peter North's POV 1, Tight & Asian 3
Website: clublilythai.com
Twitter: @thereallilythai
Lily Thai was a fan favorite from the first moment she appeared on screen and not just for that lovely bronzed skin and inviting smile. Although she refused to participate in backyard action after a particularly rough going with co-star Lucy Lee and a merciless sex toy, Lily still put in serious work in the fornication department, often squirting all over the room during scenes. The half Italian Filipina sported multiple (but tasteful) piercings but since her retirement added extensive ink to her lean body. Apparently, Lily has been bar tending, but recent talk on her Twitter is that she's planning a comeback.

Classic Work: Asia Noir 3, Asian Sinsations, Eye of the Beholder, Sakura Tales 3, Son Doobie The Love Doctor, Stormy Daniels' Private Eyes, Yellow Fever
Website: charmanelive.com
Twitter: @CharmaneStar
For over a decade, this fantastic Filipina with the recognizable circle tattoo on her right arm has built a loyal fanbase that adores every move she makes. Starting off slowly, Charmane first dabbled in soft core before gradually through the years getting naughtier and naughtier on screen. The shy, quiet type with interests in the arts, the popular starlet has been a featured dancer on the strip club circuit for a long time and all those pole tricks have paid off as Charmane remains one amazing-looking woman to this day, not an easy feat in her demanding profession. But the dedication has paid off in different ways, including being seen briefly in the 2009 blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite.

Website: flavors.me/MariaOzawa
Twitter: @ozawa_maria
The absolutely stunning Japanese AV Idol Maria Ozawa (aka Miyabi) is half French Canadian, but is definitely all Asian when it comes to her personality. How Asian is she? Well, she loves dressing like an underage school girl, playing video games, and taking pictures of herself eating food and then posting them on the internet. Is that Asian enough for you? Shockingly, the beautiful Maria is also the star of many weirdo Japanese porn flicks that feature bukkake and manga/anime-inspired “tentacle porn.” Traditionalists will prefer seeing this sex goddess in good ol' fashioned trysts filmed in hotel rooms as well as slippin' and slidin' through soapy bathroom adventures. Whatever the kink, make sure you cop Maria's uncensored material for maximum viewing pleasure.

The appeal of Asa Akira goes way beyond her striking physical features. Giving you every reason to believe her claims of an insatiable sexual appetite, this enthusiastic performer, who is one of the top Asian adult actresses of the moment, comes off being quite charming and bright off screen, which only adds to her allure. A former personality on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show, Asa spent part of her childhood being schooled in Japan, but she's a daring Brooklyn girl at heart. A look at almost any one of her scenes shows why the Twitter fiend and regular blogger quickly became a fan favorite.
Active: 1983-1987
Classic Work: Baby Face 2, Debbie Does Dallas 3, Devil in Miss Jones 4, Ecstasy Girls 2, Every Woman Has A Fantasy 1, Ginger Effect, Heat is On, Jane Bond Meets Octopussy, Kristara Barrington Collection, New Wave Hookers, Taboo 3
Website: kristarabarringtononline.com
The '80s performer Kristara Barrington was not only one of the first Asian stars to gain prominence in porn but was one of the early standout sex sirens of mixed heritage. Believed to be a pleasant union of Korean, German and French, Kristara did on occasion don stereotypical "oriental" garb for her movies, but she relied mainly on universal sexual urgency in various roles that included an appearance in the certified classic New Wave Hookers as well as romps with Ron Jeremy long before he became "The Hedgehog." Blessed with arousing arreolas and the ability to make some of the best screwfaces around, Barrington left her mark on the industry before disappearing into the sunset, rumored to have become a veterinarian.

A true '90s porn icon, the ever-popular half-Japanese / half-German all-American Asia Carrera (whose screen name was inspired by actress Tia Carrere) appeared in over 250 adult movies and is a member of both the AVN Hall of Fame and MENSA. In case those outstanding credentials are not good enough for you, she also has a cameo in The Big Lebowski. Dude! That she seemed to prefer delivering “sensual” performances over nasty corn-holing meant many of her scenes were filled with “realistic” moaning/grunting and make-you-melt facial expressions

Katsumi had to officially change her name to Katsuni after a legal verdict went against her, but that didn't change anything about this devoted lil' sex demon who has won 29 international awards the old-fashioned way: through her anal prowess and orally gifted talents. Some of this Vietnamese/French vanilla's best stuff is when she shoots POV, talking directly into the camera and coming up with some inspired verbal obscenity. When she's not doing skits for underground rapper Necro, Lady Marmalade keeps clocking beaucoup francs feature dancing and doing TV (including her own show) in her homeland of France.

Choosing a pseudonym closely resembling Carmen Electra's government name, Tera Patrick, an alluring vision born to a Thai mother and an American military doctor of English ancestry, established herself right away as one of the most beautiful women to ever do porn. The former Ford Model / nurse with a degree in microbiology miraculously decided to appear in movies-for-mature-audiences-only and did it with passionate gusto. In the process she became a brand name and her financially successful accomplishments behind the scenes (she owns her own production company and talent agency) are achievements that very few porn starlets ever experience. Having fully infiltrated the mainstream with Jenna Jameson-like status, she has appeared on TV, radio, magazines, video games and was once rumored to be up for a major role in a Tarantino flick. Tera Patrick is a porn legend.
1. Kobe Tai
Active: 1996-2003
Classic Work: Ancient Asian Sex Secrets, Awakening, Executions on Butt Row, Scenes From A Bar
Website: kobetai.com
Twitter: @Kobetaixxx
Born in Taiwan, the half Chinese/half Japanese Kobe Tai was adopted as an infant and grew up primarily in Arkansas before moving out West to become an adult actress at a time when porn was going mainstream. The instantly popular Tai did four films before porn powerhouse Vivid snatched her up to an exclusive contract in 1996. Standing only 5' 2" and weighing a mere 90 pounds did not stop this flexible fan favorite who was always horny and extremely vocal from shooting challenging anal scenes. She momentarily crossed over into legit flicks, playing a pivotal role in the cult movie Very Bad Things, as well as provided background vocals on a Marilyn Manson song, but quit show business to raise a family.
