Yesterday, upon my request, someone posted a link to screen shots from a video that supposed starred baseball player Kazuhito Tadano. (He’s the 23-year-old Japanese import that signed with the Cleveland Indians last March, as reported here September 10, 2003 and again earlier this week when he admitted to appearing a gay porn video in a public announcement.)

I removed the comment from this site because I wanted to wait for confirmation. As it turned out, I got “scooped” by Fleshbot and Towleroad. See what I get for trying to be a responsible journalist!

The Australian video company is called Coat Corporation and the video is named Babylon #34 and can be purchased here. I searched all over that site yesterday (1/28/04) and found it strange that there was no mention of Kazuhito Tadano. I went back today, and surprize! The Global Gay Discs decided to exploit their 15 minutes of fame, and added this to their site:

In going through the other videos, there are some REALLY hot looking Japanese guys in some of those videos. Why is it that there are so few male Japanese models in American gay porn? Asian women are a major segment of straight porn, but they are mostly seen as very submissive, with the submissive part being the main attraction. Also, most Asian themed gay websites and videos seem to be produced by straight owned companies that don’t have a clue to what gay men like.

Do Japanese gay men refuse to be submissive? Or are American porn buyers still blaming them for Pearl Harbor?

Maybe it’s my imagination, but it seems most of the Asian themed gay porn videos feature guys from Thailand and Southeast Asia. Asian guys that are thrown into otherwise non-Asian themed videos are usually very Americanized Chinese. Why are they no American-made videos made by gay owned companies that feature Japanese men?

Some examples:
Secret Asian Men by True Blue
Charlie’s Asians By Asian Guys Video
Handful of Joy by Island Caprice

Here are the screen shots, Tadano is the one in the slave collar. He is also on the Best Of boxcover with his eyes pixelated out.
