Between 2011 and 2016 Okita was active as a popular AV idol before retiring in May 2016 to focus on a career in mainstream media. From 2016 to 2017, Okita was a member of the idol group Ebisu Muscats. In 2017 debuting as a solo artist Okita's album GORILLA peaked at number 47 on Oricon Albums Daily Top 50 on 10 October 2017.

Okita was born in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. At the age of eight, Okita and her family moved back to Japan. Okita first began watching adult videos (AV) during her teenage years with her favorite performer being Japanese-German AV idol Saori Hara. Okita was an art student in England during her college years but she also started to take modelling jobs and became a gravure idol before her AV debut. Okita entered the AV industry in 2011 at the age of 24. Her first adult film titled 1,000,000 Yen Body Best of All – Anri Okita was released on 7 February 2011 at the famed AV studio, S1 No. 1 Style. For the next two years Okita remained as an exclusive performer at S1 and was featured in twenty adult films with the studio, thus becoming a major player in the AV landscape as a newcomer. With her exotic looks and voluptuous figure Okita's popularity increased rapidly from mid-2011 onward in Japan as well as other Southeast Asian markets. In late 2012, Okita began to arise as a popular Japanese adult film star in Western markets like Australia and Europe and even in the US after dozens of her scenes were uploaded to adult websites like XVideos, XNXX, and Pornhub. In 2013, Okita's popularity exploded in the United States and Canada as well as Europe; she became the third watched Asian porn star after Hitomi Tanaka and Yui Hatano. In 2011, Okita was named the Number 1 Newcomer from the Asian market by Internet Adult Film Database. In October 2012, Okita decided to transfer from S1 to Soft On Demand under the stage name of "Akane Mizuki" but by early 2013 she decided to become a freelance actress (kikatan joyū) working with numerous other AV studios like Wanz Factory, Moodyz or Fitch. During her AV career Okita was part of several high-profile projects. One was J & L – Two Pairs Of Huge Tits Take Real Creampies (released by Moodyz in 1 June 2015) in which she co-starred with fellow AV actress and close friend Hitomi Tanaka. She was also part of Moodyz 15th anniversary work, Crimson Dream, an extravagant live action adaptation of a hentai manga with a runtime of six hours and a cast of other highly popular Japanese adult film actresses like Ai Uehara, Kaho Kasumi, Kurea Hasumi, Yui Hatano, Hibiki Otsuki and Shoko Akiyama.
