The Tokyo branch of Goldman Sachs offered a job to a recent college graduate and then quickly rescinded when they discovered that she was former porn star Shizuka Minamoto.

Minamoto starred in dozens of adult films during her first and second years at university.

One source close to the situation said that Goldman Sachs was tipped off by phone that they were in the process of hiring a former adult film actress.

"As a result, a close examination of personal histories of such employees was performed," said the source. "The results revealed a violation of rules of employment regarding one's private life. That led to the cancellation of the job offer."

The former porn star first appeared in a film called Lost Virginity in 2011. Minamoto said in an interview for the presentation that she was a virgin and that she "scored 935 on the TOEIC exam."

Adult filmmakers focused their marketing on Minamoto's intelligence. The packaging for each film she made pointed out that she was a college student with an IQ of 130.

One adult film expert who knew Minamoto said that "she wasn't going for money or fame: she didn't have those kind of goals. She's the type who was curious."

The expert said she was 18 years old when she made her first pornographic video and that "she made her debut because she wanted more pleasure."

Another source said that Minamoto had no regrets regarding her employment history, "but she was afraid of people finding out about it when she started job hunting."

The former X-rated actress took legal action against websites that illegally uploaded her films, but that was not enough to keep her past from Goldman Sachs.
