During her studies, she did gigs as a [[Go-go dancing|go-go dancer]], which led her to be spotted by a photographer working for ''[[Penthouse (magazine)|Penthouse]]''. The magazine's French branch was then looking for actresses who would appear in its adult pictures.<ref name="Masculin">[http://www.masculin.com/love-sex/1837-katsuni-interview/ Katsuni : « Le live, l'avenir du porno »], ''Masculin.com'', 30 mars 2012</ref> Tran accepted ''Penthouse'''s proposal for a shoot as a manner of challenge and because she thought it might be an exciting experience.<ref name="20minutes"/>

== Career ==

===Adult film career in France and in the United States===
Having enjoyed her first experience, she decided to pursue a career in the [[adult film industry]].<ref name="Masculin"/> For two years, she shot movies while continuing her studies but eventually renounced becoming a teacher and decided to pursue a career as a full-time adult actress.<ref name="20minutes"/>

During her career in the pornography industry, which she began in 2001,<ref name="KatsuniExpress"/> she appeared in over 400 releases.<ref name="iafd"/> In 2004, she was voted "the French's favorite porn actress" in a readers' poll organized by trade journal [[Hot Vidéo]].<ref>[http://hotvideo.fr/magazine-en-kiosque/164 Katsumi : l'actrice X préférée des Français. Hot Vidéo n°164] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202065844/http://hotvideo.fr/magazine-en-kiosque/164 |date=2 February 2017 }}, mai 2004 sur hotvideo.fr</ref> She also appeared in several Italian and Spanish productions, working for directors such as [[Mario Salieri]].

[[File:AN Katsuni 2.jpg|left|thumb|Tran in 2007]]
She shot her first American films in 2003. In 2005, she decided to focus on her work in the United States whose industry offered better opportunities. During the next few years, she divided her time between France and the US, working mostly in the latter country. In December 2006, she became the first French actress to sign an exclusive performing contract with [[Digital Playground]].<ref name=autogenerated1 />

She originally performed using the stage name ''Katsumi'' (a common given name in Japan for both sexes), but she was barred by a French judge in [[Créteil, France|Créteil]] in January 2007 from using the name, after a woman named Mary Katsumi sued over the resemblance to her own name.<ref name=autogenerated2 /><ref name=autogenerated3 /> Although she had informed the websites that she had changed her stage name, many outlets kept referring to her as "Katsumi". She was eventually sued again a few months later<ref>[http://www.20minutes.fr/france/176951-20070828-femme-reclame-82000-euros-a-star-porno-utilise-nom Une femme réclame 82.000 euros à une star du porno qui utilise son nom], ''20 minutes'', 28 août 2007</ref> and, in September 2007, was fined €20,000, having been deemed responsible for various violations of the ban.<ref>{{cite web|last1=AFP|title=Porn star Katsumi ordered to pay 20,000 euros to a homonymous|url=http://www.liberation.fr/actualite/2007/09/12/la-star-du-porno-katsumi-condamnee-a-verser-20-000-euros-a-une-homonyme_7598|website=liberation.fr|publisher=Liberation}}</ref>

In May 2006, she got [[breast implants]].<ref name="iafd"/> Her first film with her new breasts, ''French ConneXion'' of [[Marc Dorcel]] Productions, came out at the beginning of 2007. In the meantime, Tran also modelled for the cover of ''[[Marquis (magazine)|Marquis]]'' magazine, a leader in fetishism. She also continued working and touring as an [[Stripper|exotic dancer]] in nightclubs of various countries.<ref name="lopinion">{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.lopinion.fr/13-juin-2014/katsuni-redevenue-celine-tran-s-attaque-a-bd-13341 Katsuni, redevenue Céline Tran, s’attaque à la BD] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170227235454/http://www.lopinion.fr/13-juin-2014/katsuni-redevenue-celine-tran-s-attaque-a-bd-13341 |date=27 February 2017 }}, ''[[L'Opinion (newspaper)|L'Opinion]]'', 13 June 2014</ref><ref name=autogenerated1 />
