[edit] Biography

Tai was born in Taipei, Taiwan and was later adopted by an American family in Arkansas when she was five months old. As a result, she has dual nationality.

Tai married adult film actor, Mark Davis, in 1997. The couple divorced in late 1999.

In 2000, she left the industry, announcing that she was expecting her first child. She had a son, born sometime late-2000 to early-2001. She returned to pornography in December 2001; her last film was Jenna Loves Kobe with Jenna Jameson. Since then, Tai has disappeared from the industry and is presumed to have left it behind permanently.

Along with Asia Carrera, she is one of the most well-known Asian female porn stars.

[edit] Adult film career

She broke into the porn industry in 1996, under the names Blake Young and Brooke Young before adopting the name Kobe Tai. She is signed to Vivid Entertainment as an exclusive performer, and was the first Asian Vivid contract girl. Some of Tai's notable early works are "Executions on Butt Row" (with Sean Michaels), and "Vivid Raw #2" with Alex Sanders, her first Vivid production. She is particularly popular for her interracial, anal and lesbian scenes.

During her years as a porn star, Kobe Tai was well-known for putting a great amount of enthusiasm and energy into her scenes, which is very notable in some of her earlier work.

[edit] Mainstream

In addition to her roles in adult films, Tai appeared in the mainstream movie Very Bad Things as a stripper who was accidentally killed at a bachelor party.

Tai also appeared in the skateboarding video 'The End'. The video was produced by Tony Hawk's skateboarding company, Birdhouse, and also featured several other porn stars in the same segment Tai was in.

Also, she has made appearances on The Man Show and The Helmetcam Show. Tai also did background vocals for Marilyn Manson's song, "New Model No. 15", on the album Mechanical Animals.[1]
