Hanon Kanade - The Clumsy Yet Passionate AV Star, The Hashimoto Kanna of the Industry
Born on May 9, 2000, Kanon Sayaka has a face that strikingly resembles Hashimoto Kanna's, along with a sweet yet not overly cloying smile, giving her plenty of room for growth and potential. This led her to be signed by the large, corporately managed agency T-POWERS, and she made her debut in June 2019. In an interview, she opened up about her first sexual experience, revealing it happened in college, but not with a boyfriend—it was with a friend. She also mentioned that her long-term sexual partners have always been acquaintances and friends. Kanon's personality matches her appearance perfectly: cute with a touch of shy and adorably clumsy. If I had to describe it precisely, she's like an easily swayed little sister. On set, when she's nervous, she tends to giggle nonstop, which is why she often appears smiling at the camera in her works. There's also a funny story: once, she got so excited that she climaxed, but thought she had peed herself and shouted, "I peed!" It wasn't until the male actor explained that she realized it was the physiological response of an orgasm.
Since she debuted less than two years ago, most of Kanon's works are compilations, with relatively few solo performances. For instance, in RCTD-320 Ingo Joshi Ana 21: Morning Face is Refreshing, Squirting Ana Kanon Sayaka SP, she co-stars with another actress, Oikawa Tsukino. The Ingo Joshi Ana series is a well-known franchise from the ROCKET studio, which specializes in unique and quirky themes, and it has been ongoing since its launch on February 21, 2013. However, not just anyone can star in it—it's under a major studio, so even with strong sales, ROCKET doesn't pick actresses randomly. Their series often look comical and humorous, but they pose a real acting challenge for the performers, especially for themes like the anchor series. You need real skills to make the cut. Kanon being selected speaks to her recognized talent, but it must have been a significant burden for her. Many top-tier actresses have appeared in the Ingo Joshi Ana series since its start, like Nozomi Hazuki, Hibiki Ootsuki, Asahi Mizuno, and Eimi Fukada, so facing such legendary predecessors would have put immense pressure on Kanon. Perhaps knowing this was a great opportunity to prove herself, Kanon nailed the transitions in the plot and the delivery of dirty talk. Most notably, she's getting better and better at controlling her expressions, no longer just the nervous girl who giggles awkwardly.
After going through the ROCKET baptism, Kanon has proven herself to be a promising talent with the ability to carry a production on her own. Although she entered the AV world on a whim and impulse, she's brave in trying new things and relentlessly improving her acting skills. Let's all keep an eye on Kanon and look forward to the day she becomes a massive star.
