In 1999, Damayo began doing movie production and talent scouting for Metro Home Video and produced the series she entitled FantAsiany, of which there are now Series #1,2,3,4. Now with access to a global public audience, she continued to expand the market for Asian adult films. Indeed, she says that after an appearance on an MSNBC talk show in the US to discuss her candidacy with conservative host Tucker Carlson, the response was so overwhelming that her Web server crashed for several hours. The run for governor helped propel her web enterprise.

Now, the business is served by a stable of 12 multi-ethnic women performing chat in rotating shifts, freeing her from filling shifts herself. When "Mimi" first went online, she performed live nude chat daily and had scheduled events. (A previous website, launched before 1996, had been purloined by her hired Webmaster, so she created a new one, doing the coding herself. The rise of the internet led Damayo to create a website (which she codes and runs on her own) which went "live" in January 2000. She started publishing her own men's magazine, Oriental Dolls, (now known as Asian Hotties), which soon became one of the top Asian-themed lines in the country. Then she quit, got married, had a child, started publishing magazines and running Web sites - all sex oriented. This led her to come to the conclusion that she had to look out for her own business affairs. Despite her fame, Damayo had difficulty getting paid on time by some fly-by-night producers. Over the next two years, Damayo became one of the most recognized Asian porn stars in the industry, not only because of the size of her breasts but also for her very long tongue. Damayo also underwent surgery several times to increase her natural "B" cup breasts to "DD" size. She was also building a fan base due to her lesbian scenes. By this time she was becoming quite popular for her abilities to take well-endowed men during vaginal and anal scenes, as well as for her exceptionally long tongue and enthusiastic fellatio scenes. Even though she was always the least paid actress on the set, she continued knocking on studio producers doors. She cloaked her Philippine nationality in Asian mysticism. "Miyagi" was derived from the character Mr. She took the name "Mimi" which was her childhood nickname, given her by her grandmother. When she reached the age of consent, and pursued an adult career, starting with Ed Powers.ĭamayo came across an ad looking for nude models and answered it, thus beginning her rise in the adult film industry. Damayo obtained a scholarship to the American College for Fashion Merchandising, Westwood, Los Angeles, but college was cut short in 1992, when she'd run out of money and began looking for jobs. She returned to LA just before her 18th birthday with a little over $1,000 to her name. After being a disc jockey on the college radio station, she wanted a career in show business. She was sent her back to Mindanao for high school by her parents, who enrolled her in a conservative Seventh Day Adventist academy in remote Bukidnon province, hoping she would acquire Filipino values.ĭamayo made it through high school and enrolled in an Adventist college in the same area, but dropped out after two years. At the age of six, she moved to the US with her parents, and grew up in California. She spent her childhood studying piano and dreaming of becoming an Olympic gymnast.

As a child, Damayo was something of a prodigy. Mimi Miyagi (born Melody Damayo on July 3, 1973, in Davao City, Philippines) is a Filipina porn star and adult model.ĭamayo was born in Davao City, Mimi is the second of four children to immigrant parents Mike Ariesgado and Luz Damayo, who were both conservative Christians.
