Frankly, I’d never heard of him but I have a hard enough time keeping up with American porn stars…but, I wish I had known about Japanese gay porn star/model Koh Masaki before his recent death at age 29. He’s kind of adorable. (He also looks a bit like a long lost Franco Brother…I think it’s the smile. )
According to Queerty:
Although the official cause of death hasn’t been announced, Masaki had gone through several surgeries during recent months to treat a ruptured cecal due to peritonitis.
Masaki began his career as a porn actor in 2009 and appeared in more than 100 films.
How does a 29 year old die of peritonitis in this day and age? That’s an awful way to go. Sad.
And, judging by his cuteness/hotness, I think American gay porn needs to pay more attention to Asia. Mainstream porn tends to shy away from most minority performers, which is ridiculous. There are a lot of fans of sexy Asian men in this country. For that matter, there are a lot of sexy Asian/Asian American men IN this country. Pay attention to them!
As for poor Koh Masaki, raise a toast to him.
Salud.
