Early Life and Entry into the Entertainment Industry
Iori Kogawa was raised in Hirakata City, Osaka. Before entering the AV industry, she initially aspired to become a stage actress or general entertainment talent. She underwent acting training but felt dissatisfied with the minor roles she received. In an interview, she stated that she entered the AV industry because she “wanted to take on a wider and more challenging range of roles.”
She had her first sexual experience at the age of 18 while attending a vocational school, with a senior who was seven years older than her. Prior to her AV debut, she had only two partners.
On November 2, 2012, Iori first appeared nude in a special photo session for the magazine Friday. Just six days later, on November 8, 2012, she officially made her AV debut under the SOD Create label (SODstar). Her debut still-photo shoot was unexpectedly conducted in Guam. Her debut quickly attracted attention due to her innocent yet expressive presence.
Career in AV and as an Idol
Throughout her career, Iori remained an exclusive actress with SOD Create and appeared in more than 200 AV titles.
On September 24, 2015, she joined the idol group Ebisu Muscats (second generation, later known as Ebisu Muscats 1.5). She earned the nickname “Chief Kogawa” due to her calm personality and frequent leadership responsibilities. She won the group’s general knowledge test twice and actively participated in television programs such as Muscat Night, as well as concert tours. She also served as a substitute MC when the group’s leader, Tomorrow Hana Kirara, was injured.
In addition to her AV work, she released the photobook “DREAMING” in 2017 and another farewell photobook in 2022 through a crowdfunding project. Her total body of work exceeds 300 titles when including VR productions and image videos.

- Excellent Actress Award at the 64th SOD Awards (2013)
- New Actress Award at the 28th Pink Film Grand Prix (2016)
- Cyzo Prize at the Sky PerfecTV! Adult Broadcasting Awards (2017)
In 2014, she ranked 20th in a fan poll for the Sega game Yakuza 0 (Ryū ga Gotoku 0), earning a minor role in the game. She also appeared as a supporting character in Yakuza 7 (2020).
Retirement Announcement and Farewell Events
On January 28, 2022, Iori officially announced her retirement through the SOD Create YouTube channel. She stated that after ten years in the industry, she felt it was “enough” and wanted to close this chapter of her life properly.
She held a nationwide farewell tour across seven prefectures: Saitama, Fukuoka, Kagawa, Osaka, Hyogo, Hokkaido, and Tokyo, featuring 13 autograph and photo events. Her farewell photobook project titled “ひとつなぎ” was successfully funded through crowdfunding.
After retiring, Iori chose to live a quiet private life. As of 2026, there have been no reports of new activities in the entertainment industry. She remains recognized as one of the most respected SODstar actresses due to her professionalism and decade-long contribution to the industry.
