Makoto Toda: Defying Depression with AV – The Industry's Most Artsy Cute Lolita
Toda Makoto
Birth: October 9, 1996
Measurements: B83 - W58 - H83 cm
Cup size: C
Debut date: June 23, 2016
At 19 years old, she debuted with SOD's Seishun Jidai while still an active university student. Her appearance is quite sweet and cute, and at the time, she made a strong impression on the industry and audiences with her "virgin debut."
"Not allowed to have contact with the opposite sex" was a rule imposed on her from childhood in her traditional and strict Japanese family, which meant Toda had never kissed anyone or held hands with a man before her debut. Under such long-term suppression, it finally erupted due to a failed first love in university, leading Toda-sensei to decide to shoot AV as a way to rebel against the traditions that had long confined her. She found SOD Group's subsidiary "Seishun Jidai" and released her debut work with her virginity as the selling point. Unexpectedly, it was a peak from the start, and with her rapid rise to fame, Toda-sensei quickly transferred from "Seishun Jidai" to SOD's top-tier label, SOD Star.
Relying on the contrast between her cuteness and sensuality, along with her superb acting skills, in 2017 she was nominated for the DMM Adult Awards' Best New Actress Award. The following year, she was also nominated for the DMM Adult Awards' Best Actress Award, but ultimately only made it to the nominations. Finally, in 2019, she defeated Shinozaki Yua, Hamazaki Mao, Tomita Ayaka, and Abe Mika, winning the "Adult Broadcasting Award for Actress," often called the AV Oscars. This was certainly an affirmation of her three years of hard work.
Beyond AV filming, Toda-sensei is also a literary youth in private. She crowdfunded and directed the short film "Forever Passing By" online, which received a lot of praise. With her good writing skills, she regularly writes film reviews and even runs her own PODCAST channel, which has a high following—she's truly quite talented.
In FSDSS-499, titled "Falling in Love with an AV Actor... I Was a Virgin and Became an AV Actress," Toda plays a naive virgin university student who knows nothing about sex. By chance, she encounters an AV actor and embarks on a journey to explore sex. Her sweet and pure appearance paired with her aggressive gaze gradually devours the actor completely. The trembling at the peak and the saliva unintentionally dripping from her mouth during the lingering moments become a display of mad desire. In the end, she becomes an actress in the film and completes her debut work with the actor.
This plot is as if it's reenacting Toda-sensei's own debut career, directly confronting entrenched traditions and liberating her emotions.
Regrettably, after transferring to Faleno in December 2021 and signing a one-year contract, Toda announced on her Twitter that she would retire in January 2023. Perhaps shooting AV was just a way to unlock the emotional repression from her youth, or a stepping stone to pursuing her dreams; either way, we all hope that this multifaceted talent can shine in other fields. Stay tuned!
