Jade Blue Eclipse (born 1976) is a former San Francisco-based performance artist / contortionist / acrobat born in Nagasaki, Japan. Following unsuccessful green card applications and her younger brother's continued health problems, her mother and brother returned to Japan from San Francisco, California when she was thirteen. She stayed behind. She supported herself as a bicycle messenger, stripper, and prostitute. She has appeared in a number of pornographic films, such as Asianatrix and Kung Fu Girls. She identified herself as a lesbian "for years" but has also stated that she has relationships with men.
Everipedia. “Jade-Blue Eclipse,” July 5, 2018. https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/Jade-Blue_Eclipse.Jade Blue is one of the most talented and inspiring artists I have ever met. It was my great pleasure to introduce her on stage during my Dark Kabaret show two years ago. Two months later she fled the country to avoid going to jail as an illegal immigrant. Jade came to the US from Japan when she was 8. Her mother returned to Japan when Jade was 11. Jade's Aunt never filed the proper paperwork to keep Jade in the country. Jade found out for the first time that she was illegal when UC Berkely offered her a full scholarship as a violinist. During the admission process Jade was denied because she was not a citizen or even a legal resident. Later Jade was offered a job with Cirque Du Soliel but could not accept that job due to her imigration status. The tragedy is that she can not get along in Japan either. She has a third grade education in Japan and can barely speak the language. Jade's situation is truly tragic and not of her own making. Jade Currently lives in Australia. Her absence if felt by the artistic community here in San Francisco.
