Mizusawa was born in Meguro, Tokyo and graduated from the Japan Women's College of Physical Education (Dance Major) in 1977.

She made her acting debut in October 1972 in the TBS Television drama Natsu ni Kita Musume, based on Keita Genji's novel Aozora Musume. Meanwhile, she dropped out from Yamawaki Gakuen High School because they were banning performing arts activities and transferred to Nikaido High School.

On 1 July 1973, she made her debut as a singer at CBS Sony Records (now Sony Music Entertainment (SMEJ)) with Musume-gokoro with the catchphrase "Three women of the Sony family". In 1973, she adopted her current stage name "Aki Mizusawa".

She made regular appearances in NHK's popular quiz show Rensō Game since 1975.

She worked as a model including swimwear and other assignments including adult magazines. She has had a number of film and television series roles.

Private life
In 1986, she married American businessman and voice actor Guy Cihi. They had a son and daughter, but divorced in 1993.

Her son, Julian Cihi, debuted as an actor in 2011. Her daughter, Frances Cihi, is a tarento, painter and English conversation teacher who appeared on the reality television series Terrace House: Boys × Girls Next Door.
