| Mimi Miyagi was born in Davo City, the Philippines on July 3 1973, the second of four children to immigrant parents Mike Ariesgado and Luz Damoyo. As a child, Mimi was something of a prodigy. She spent her childhood studying piano and dreaming of becoming an Olympic gymnast. At the age of 15 she graduated from high school. After graduating, she began working to save money for college. She returned to LA just before her 18th birthday with a little over $1,000 to her name. At that time, she thought that this money would be enough to last her several months. This was not the case, and within a month, she'd run out of money and began looking for jobs. She met with little success until shortly after her 18th birthday. Mimi came across an ad looking for nude models and answered it, thus beginning her rise in the adult film industry. When Mimi first started out in the industry, she was repeatedly told that there just wasn't a market for Asian adult stars, but she was determined and refused to give up. And even though Mimi was always the least paid actress on the set, she continued knocking on studio producers doors. Over the next two years, Mimi bacame the most recognized Asian porn star in the industry. Despite her fame, Mimi had difficulty getting paid on time by some fly-by-night producers. This led Mimi to come to the conclusion that she had to look out for her own business affairs. She started publishing her own men's magazine, 'Oriental Dolls,' (now known as 'Asian Hotties') and quickly saw the magazine become one of the top Asian-themed lines in the country. The rise of the internet as a profitable medium for content led Mimi to create a website (that she coded and runs on her own). Now with access to a global public audience, Mimi continued to expand the market for Asian adult films. In 1999, Mimi began doing movie production and talent scouting for Metro Home Video and produced the series she entitled "Fantasiany Series #1,2,3,4". In September 2003, the film 'Happy Ending' was released. This film marked the end of Mimi Miyagi's career as an adult film star. In May 2005, Mimi began work in her first bit role in a mainstream comedy, 'Come Again.' Filmography
