Nautica Thorn (born Shauna Tokumi;[1] June 13, 1984) is an American pornographic actress.

Early life

Born in Waipahu, Hawai'i,[2][3] Thorn is of half Japanese, a quarter Puerto Rican, and a quarter Hawaiian descent.[3] Her mother works as a secretary, and her father is in the construction business.[3] Thorn revealed that she lost her virginity at the age of 14.[4]

Career

Growing up in Hawaii, Thorn's first job was working in promotion and marketing for a record company at age 14.[5] At 16 years-old, she relocated to California, where she worked at a coffee shop and at Melrose boutiques. She later said regarding the move, "When I was a little kid, I already knew I wanted to be a stripper."[2]

After she turned 18, Thorn began working as a stripper, then went from dancing to nude modeling, followed by masturbation scenes, and later hardcore sex.[4] Thorn was discovered by a talent agent in a club.[6]

Thorn was a cast member of the Fox Network reality TV show My Bare Lady. She was also briefly featured as a lap dancer in the 2007 feature film comedy Knocked Up.

In 2011, Complex magazine ranked her at #21 on their list of “The Top 50 Hottest Asian Porn Stars of All Time.”[7]

Personal life

In an August 2008 interview, Thorn mentioned that, although she grew up eating meat (and asking her mom to send her Spam after she moved to the mainland), she was a vegetarian.[8]

Thorn has been married.[9]

Legal issues

In 2007, Thorn filed for a trademark registration for her stage name;[10] however, Nautica filed an opposition to this registration.[11]
