Early Career: News Announcer
Before entering the JAV industry, she worked as a news announcer at a local television station in the Tokai region (around Nagoya). However, she felt she did not achieve her ideal goals and faced harsh realities, leading her to quit after a short period. Afterward, she tried various jobs before eventually debuting in the adult entertainment industry, inspired by her desire to return to the public spotlight.
Debut and Career in the JAV Industry
She debuted in July 2017 under the name 山岸逢花 as an exclusive actress for the PREMIUM studio (Prestige Group, frequently collaborating with Moodyz). Her debut film was PRED-001, “Former Local Station Announcer AV Debut,” which became a major success thanks to the former-announcer gimmick. Initially awkward, she gradually developed confidence and achieved a fitter body through regular gym routines.
She collaborated with Minami Aizawa, Mayuki Ito, Akari Mitani, and studios such as Wanz Factory and Moodyz. Her total output reached approximately 297–300 videos by the time of her retirement.
On May 15, 2023, at the age of 30, she transferred agencies to LiStar Pro/Resta Pro and changed her name to 山岸あや花 as a “restart” of her career, while retaining the family name “Yamagishi” to preserve her strong brand image.

Retirement from JAV
On September 10, 2025, her agency announced that she would leave LiStar Pro/Resta Pro at the end of September and conclude her activities as a JAV actress. On October 1, 2025, she personally confirmed her retirement from JAV, stating that she would continue as a freelancer with new projects. Her final releases were scheduled through January 2026. The main reason cited was her transition to a new post-JAV career, with a focus on mainstream entertainment.
Conclusion
From a local news announcer to an iconic JAV star with an elegant “onee-san” image, Aika Yamagishi leaves behind a significant legacy marked by high dedication, passionate performances, and strong adaptability. Her retirement in 2025 marks a new chapter, in which she has the potential to grow in general acting, modeling, or as an influencer thanks to her talent and attractive presence.
