[edit] Biography

Katsuni is of French/Vietnamese heritage. Her father is Vietnamese and her mother's family is French. She is fluent in both English and French.[3]

After studying political sciences for a year at Grenoble Institute of Political Studies, she entered the adult film industry in 2002 at about the age of 23, and has since appeared in over 200 films.[1] In December 2006, Katsuni signed an exclusive performing contract with Digital Playground.[4] She originally performed using the stage name Katsumi (a common given name in Japan for both sexes), but she was barred by a French judge in January 2007 from using the name after a woman named Mary Katsumi sued over the resemblance to her own name. In October 2007, Katsuni was fined €20,000 for violations of the ban on using the name "Katsumi".[5]
