In November I found in my mail-box, a letter written by a lawyer who was defending the interests of a young woman called Miss Katsumi and who was ordering me to stop to use my stagename « Katsumi » IMMEDIATELY. I won't lie to you. I was absolutely surprised and shocked. I didn't know that a japanese firstname, because it was rare in France and because an unknown woman in France owned it as a last name, gave her the right to take it from me! Just write « Katsumi » on google and you will see millions of websites where Katsumi ca be sometimes an anime hero, a famous sumo,or a painter for example ; you will also find many dictionaries of japanese firstnames where we can see that it's a common first name for boy and girls!

You must understand something. In our job and for anybody else who is an artist, this is your name which makes your work. Talent is the start and this is talent which will make you last, but without any fame you're nobody and if you're nobody you still can sing in karaokes.What about me? What do I have left without my stagename? A pretty face? My pseudonym is a trademark, a quality guarantee ; write it on a boxcover, you will sell 3 times more.This is not me who's telling that...but an american producer who was telling me it already 3 years ago : « Your name make our movies sell. It's a chance for us to have you in our scenes! » Today I don't have the right anymore to use this name. In order to tranquilize things we found a deal : to not have any confusion anymore between the porno actress and the young parisian , a letter will be changed. The actress will be called « KATSUNI ». The difference is so subtle that it is absurd, but what do you want? It was the price of the peace...
