Izumi made her pink film debut in October 1980 in Ryōjoku gishiki (凌辱儀式) produced by Shishi Pro (Shishi Puro (獅子プロ)) and released by Toei.[2] In the next four years, Aki appeared in about sixty pink films primarily for the Shintōhō Eiga and Million Film studios.[3] In November 1981 she had a role in actress Rumi Tama's debut as a director in the pink film Revenge Sex: Girl Rape (復讐セックス 女が犯す) distributed by Million Film.[4] Aki starred in two low-budget films directed by Hiroki Hirakawa, the August 1982 Sex Documentary: Rape and Abuse (セックスドキュメント 器具販売人)[5] and the April 1983 production Prostitution Inquisition (トルコ拷問 抉る) for Million Film.[6]
In June 1984 Aki starred in Meow Meow Girl (ニャンニャン娘, Nyan nyan-musume), an entry in Nikkatsu's Roman Porno series, directed by Genji Nakamura, one of "The Three Pillars Of Pink".[7][8] In one of her last pink film roles, in February 1985 she played opposite actor and director Yutaka Ikejima in another Million Film production Woman in the Black Lingerie (黒い下着の女).[9]
