Season two of Netflix’s “The Naked Director” was released in late June. The story is based on Nobuhiro Motohashi’s non-fiction novel “Naked Director Toru Muranishi,” and season two kicks off at the height of Adult Video (AV) star Kaoru Kuroki’s popularity in the early 90s, shortly before the burst of Japan’s bubble economy. Now 25-years-old, Kuroki has left her studies at Yokohama National University and is enjoying mainstream recognition as an outspoken commentator on feminism in Japan and women’s sexuality. This level of mainstream popularity unprecedented for an AV model at the time transformed Japanese perceptions surrounding not only gender equality and women’s sexuality, but also what was achievable for women in the AV industry.
