Waka Misono (美園和花): The Record-Breaker Who Ended a 15-Month Reign
Japanese AV actress Waka Misono — set the industry record for the most swallows in a single title (242), then broke Ichika Matsumoto's 15-month run at #1 in FANZA's monthly ranking. Now a triple exclusive at MOODYZ, Das and Attackers.

Two records make Waka Misono worth profiling, and together they show both halves of the industry’s measuring systems. She set the AV record for the most swallows in a single title — 242 — and then she broke the sales record that defined the freelance tier’s modern era: Ichika Matsumoto’s 15-month run at #1 in FANZA’s monthly ranking.

| Name | Waka Misono (美園和花) |
| Born | 3 March 1999, Kagawa Prefecture |
| Debut | 8 February 2018, SOD “Youth Era” |
| Record 1 | 242 swallows in one title (2020) |
| Record 2 | Broke the 15-month #1 run (June 2024) |
| Now | Triple exclusive, MOODYZ / Das / Attackers |
| Also | Film, idol group mumk, stage |
2018–2020: the youth-label debut and the swallow record
She grew up in rural Kagawa, commuting to high school on a 50cc scooter and swimming competitively (artistic swimming). She debuted in February 2018 on SOD’s “Youth Era” label, went quiet — she has said the hiatus was for tuition — and returned to the freelance tier in March 2019.
The record came in February 2020: a title with 242 swallows, breaking Aida Yua’s previous record of 231. It was named one of Weekly Playboy’s top AV trend terms of 2020. This is the industry’s literal-number record — the physical limit of a single title, pushed.
2024: ending the 15-month reign
The second record is the one with structural meaning. Ichika Matsumoto had held #1 in FANZA’s monthly ranking for 15 consecutive months — the freelance-tier era’s defining streak. In June 2024, Misono took #1, ending it.
She has since been a fixture at the top: #4 and #2 in FANZA’s 2024 half-year rankings (first among freelance performers in the second half), two consecutive #1 months in early 2026, and #1 on the rental floor in July 2026.
2025: the triple exclusive
In May 2025 she became a triple exclusive at MOODYZ, Das and Attackers. In December 2025 she was the #1 pick in the “Sexy Actress Draft Conference 2025,” chosen by director Masaki.
Film, idol, stage
Outside AV she acts in independent films (Kaidan Kaishun-sō, 2020; Mōsō Fanfare, 2025), is in the four-member idol group mumk, has published two photobooks, and has a lead role in a stage production scheduled for December 2026. She runs fan events across Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong.
Her own X account documents the day-to-day, for example the streaming announcement in July 2026.
What this career means
She owns both types of record. The swallow number is the work-level extreme — the literal ceiling of a single title. The ranking win is the market-level achievement — the moment the industry’s most-watched streak changed hands. Taken together, they show that the two things the industry measures — the work and the sales — can be led by the same person.
