Although pornography in Japan has a long history and is a major business, until
recently, the adult video industry did not develop a broad-based set of awards for
sales or performance such as the AVN Awards in American pornography.
That has changed in recent years, and the two primary awards given at present
(which are covered in separate articles) are the AV Grand Prix for retail and
internet videos and the Adult Broadcasting Awards for programs broadcast on
Japanese satellite TV.
This text is focused on the various earlier Japanese adult video awards given in
the period 1991–2008, none of which are presently active. Some were given only
infrequently and many were limited to particular studios or groups of companies.
The Tokyo Sports Film Awards (東京スポーツ映画大賞) are sponsored by the Japanese
tabloid newspaper Tokyo Sports. The award ceremonies are always held in January for
movies in the previous year. The first awards were given in 1991 for the 1990
cinema year. The awards were for mainstream movies but occasionally awards were
also given for adult video work. The sometimes idiosyncratic selections were made
by famed filmmaker and actor Takeshi Kitano. Adult awards ended with the
establishment of the Takeshi Kitano Entertainment Awards in 2000.[1][2][3]
