William Brown · 2026-07-28

Hollywood, CA — Multi-award-winning Japanese American adult entertainer and creator Kasey Kei is having a banner year in 2026. Fresh off a string of industry accolades, she just snagged her very first nomination from the NightMoves Awards. And if the momentum she's built so far is any indication, she might just walk away with the trophy. ### A First-Time Nomination for a Seasoned Pro Last week, the 34th Annual NightMoves Awards revealed this year's nominees, and Kasey Kei made the list for Best Transsexual Performer. It's a big deal — not just because it's her first NightMoves nod, but because it puts her in the running alongside some of the most talented women in the business. The whole NightMoves Weekend is a wild ride. It kicks off with the Caravan of Stars over two nights — Friday, October 9th, and Saturday, October 10th — and then wraps up with the gala awards show on Sunday evening, October 11th. The venue is The Stockyard in Holiday, Florida, and trust me, the energy there is electric. ### How You Can Help Her Win Fan voting is open right now and runs through September 1st.

She always dreamed of becoming a porn star, inspired by legends like Asa Akira. Her journey started when she uploaded some self-filmed content to Pornhub and then shot her first professional scene for Grooby. She never looked back. Since then, she's become known for her acting chops and that sensual on-screen presence that keeps fans coming back for more. Over the years, she's filmed more than 200 scenes for top studios, including: - Trans Angels - Gender X - Transsensual - Evil Angel - Grooby - Transfixed - Devil's Film - Kink.com - VR Bangers And the awards? They've piled up fast. She's won Best Hardcore Performer, Grooby Girl of the Year, Best VR Scene, Best Boy/Girl Scene, Best Threesome Moresome Scene, and Best DVD from the TEAs. At the AVN Awards, she took home Best Trans One-on-One Sex Scene and Best Trans Group Sex Scene. The XMAs gave her Best Trans Sex Scene (twice) plus another Best Trans Sex Scene award. And the Fleshbot Awards named her Trans Movie of the Year. On top of all that, she's racked up nominations from AVN, XMA, XMA Creator, Fleshbot, Urban X, XRCOs, and TEA. She's also a Pineapple Support Ambassador, where she has real conversations about mental health and helps others in the community. ### Life Outside the Spotlight Before she stepped into the adult arena, Kasey was a makeup artist. She went to school to learn her craft, and those skills still come in handy today. When she's not filming, engaging with fans, or making appearances, you'll find her doing some pretty unexpected things. She's a competitive one-piece trading card game player. She loves planning her next vacation, cooking up a storm, watching horror movies, or curling up with a horror novel. It's a side of her that fans don't always see, but it's what makes her so relatable. ### Get Involved Want to keep up with everything in Kasey's world?
