Japanese gay porn star dead trial#
I first met him at a trial photo-shooting for the new cover of Badi magazine in 2011. (Worked with Masaki for numerous photoshoots) TENTEN: (Pause) Okaeri ! (Japanese: Welcome home) TENTEN: Before he left… he asked me if I could bring him to eat Pizza and BBQ…Those are his favorite food.ĮLEMENT: JUST IF…HE COULD COME BACK TO LIFE JUST LIKE WHAT WE WATCH IN SOME SCI-FI MOVIES, WHAT WOULD YOU WANNA SAY TO HIM? So I keep all the photos away from my sight.ĮLEMENT: DID HE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU BEFORE HE…MOVED ON? TENTEN: Every picture we took together triggers my memory of him. So yeah…it was love at first sight.ĮLEMENT: WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR MEMORY OF HIM? I drank a lot that night but I do remember I was absolutely thrilled to see him again. We looked back at each other and later that night we met again at friend’s gathering. TENTEN: We had our first encounter at the train station as we were all going to watch Lady Gaga’s concert. GoGo Dancer & Party Organizer Masaki’s partner Still, his decision gave many gay men more than just a recognizable face in the porn they watched. By forgoing anonymity, Masaki didn’t set out to remake society. Dark sunglasses, hats and blacked-out swimming goggles are common accessories in an industry that is perceived bizarre by the society. He was seen as a bona fide Japanese GV star. From Singapore to Hong Kong, Bangkok to Shanghai, he had a solid fan base in these places where his popularity was peaking. In the digital age we’re living in today, Masaki’s name travels far beyond Japan. By the time he passed away from peritonitis at just 29, Masaki had established a celebrity persona in a business where such a thing was non-existent. It has been two years since the passing of the legendary Japanese GV star Koh Masaki. There is no death in remembrance for a part of me will always be with you.
