Marica Hase returns to Japan at the end of May for a three-stop appearance run that includes EDEN JAPAN-ADULT EXPO 2026, a live FC2 broadcast and FetiFes, giving fans and industry attendees several ways to connect with the international star.
Hase will appear in person at EDEN JAPEN-ADULT EXPO 2026 on Thursday, May 28 at Tokyo Ryutsu Center, as the new international adult industry exhibition brings together brands, media and professionals from Japan and abroad. On Friday, May 29, Hase will also appear online at 8 PM JST for an FC2 Live broadcast tied to Sasa Handa’s “Konya mo Sasa Gohan” cooking show special, giving viewers outside Japan a chance to watch live.
Her Japan schedule continues Sunday, May 31 at FetFes, the Japanese fetish, art, fashion and performance event known for bringing together performers, photographers, artists, designers and independent creators. Hase will sign from 12-2 PM JST at the Tubaki Kanda booth, then appear in the FetiFes show at 3 PM JST, which will also be available to stream online through FC2Live.
“I’m so excited to be back in Japan for these appearances,” said Hase. “I first thought this trip would be smaller, but it has become a much bigger opportunity connected to international events and fans from all over. EDEN, FC2 Live and FetiFes each give me a different way to meet people, share my work and celebrate the culture that helped shape me.”

ABOUT MARICA HASE:
Marica Hase is a Japanese-born international performer, model and media personality whose career spans Japan, the United States, Europe and Asia. After beginning in Japanese television, film and magazine modeling, Hase transitioned into adult entertainment and built a rare cross-market career, later becoming the only Japanese performer to be named a Penthouse Pet in the United States.
Hase first gained major attention after winning the SOD Create Cinderella Audition, a high-profile talent search from one of Japan’s leading production companies, which led to her debut as an exclusive performer while she continued working in mainstream media. She later became an exclusive performer for EROTICA before expanding her career internationally, earning industry awards, live event appearances, voice work and Hall of Fame recognition along the way.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, Hase took an extended hiatus to focus on treatment, including a double mastectomy and lymph node removal in 2022, before returning to adult entertainment and Japanese television. In early 2025, she faced a second cancer diagnosis with cervical cancer, later overcoming it and returning to filming.
Outside of her professional work, Hase is active in cancer awareness and animal rescue advocacy, while also sharing her off-camera personality through daily social media vlogs featuring Buusan, her beloved pig plush character who has become a fan favorite in his own right.
