Company information
KM Produce (KMP) became an independent AV production company under that name using the "Million" label for its videos in April 2002, in competition with other major AV companies such as Soft On Demand and Moodyz. The Million label had previously been used by the DMN (Digital Media Network) company whose website (www.dmn-web.com) had closed by November 2002. Videos from the DMN Million period are now sold at the KMP shop.
One of KMP's first stars was AV Idol Nao Oikawa who had released her first video under the Million label in May 2002. Other early actresses with the company were Ran Monbu, Saori Kamiya, and Hitomi Hayasaka. Together with Oikawa, they formed the 2003 "Million Girls" (ミリオンガールズ, Miriongāruzu) and their videos were released under the KMP Million label. In subsequent years the "Million Girls" group consisted of Miyuki Uehara, Asuka Sawaguchi, Miyu Sugiura, nao, and Kyoko Nakajima in 2004, and Akane Sakura, Naho Ozawa and Karen Kisaragi in 2005.
In 2004, KMP started another exclusive group of actresses, the "Million Executive" (ミリオンエグゼクティブ, Mirioneguzekutibu), comprising Nao Oikawa and Hitomi Hayasaka. In 2005 they were joined by Ran Monbu. Another promotional event was the KMP in-house competition called the Million Academy Award Prize in 2004 which was won by The Woman Called Nao with Nao Oikawa and nao.
In late 2009, the company had 7 employees and annual revenue of nearly $13 million. KMP was affiliated with the Media Station (Cosmos Plan) and Real Works studios and operated the Media Station website, home.uchu.co.jp, and the Real Works website, www.realworks.tv in addition to its own website, www.km-produce.com, which had been in existence since April 4, 2002.
In 2011, a major re-alignment took place and from February 2011, videos previously produced under the Media Station and Real Works labels were incorporated into the KMP works listing, and by April 2011, the Media Station and Real Works websites announced that they had been integrated into the KMP website. The website of a third company, Super Shirouto, sq4610.com, also announced that it had been integrated into KMP.
By late 2011, KMP was producing about 35 videos per month. This included works under the old KMP labels of Million and Okazu as well as the old Real Works labels Real, Ecstasy, and M, the old Media Station labels Cosmos (Uchu) and Bazooka, and the Super Shirouto label (S級素人). Two new labels were also added, SCOOP ((スクープ)) in July 2011, and Sleazy in August 2011. In September 2011, the main Japanese AV retailer, DMM (part of the Hokuto Corporation), listed a total of 1341 DVDs under the KMP name.
KM Produce, as constituted in 2011 with their business headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo and the second location in Meguro, Tokyo, had 33 employees and a capital of 10 million yen (about $130,000), and was directed by Akio Kita (北 昭夫).
