Hiroshi "Chocoball" Mukai ("ョコボール向井 – Chokobaru Mukai) is a Japanese male pornographic actor and a former professional wrestler. After graduating from high school, Mukaiyama applied for and was accepted into the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) dojo in 1985, but just one week into his training suffered a severe back injury and was forced to leave the dojo.
Personal life
In 1995, Mukai's back injury began causing him trouble again, and he suffered a herniated disc as a result. He also contracted acute hepatitis in 1997.
Mukai fell seriously ill in July 2017, and was hospitalised after having a stroke in his bar. Mukai soon contracted sepsis in hospital and was in critical condition for a short while but was able to recover and was eventually released from hospital in December. As of May 2018, Mukai said he still suffered from paralysis in his hands and feet, and was able to walk but unable to run.
Adult film career
In January 1990, Mukaiyama applied for an acting audition, simply requesting actors. When Mukaiyama arrived, he discovered it was for a JAV movie, but was offered the part and accepted. Being more muscular than most other Japanese porn stars made Mukaiyama stand out during his early career. Soon after acting in his first film, Mukaiyama was given the name "Chocoball Mukaiyama", a reference to his dark brown scrotum's resemblance to Chocoball candy, though the name was later shortened to simply Chocoball Mukai. Mukai remained active in the porn industry for 17 years, and the number of videos featuring him was said to exceed 6000. He officially retired from porn in 2017.
Legal issues
Mukaiyama and fellow JAV star Emi Kuroda were both arrested in April 2004 after staging a live sex show without a license at Tokyo's Members Club Rock, a "happening bar", or sex club. The two had sex in public, and it was supposedly being filmed, but the correct paperwork was not filed, resulting in their arrest.[9] Mukai was later convicted for public indecency and sentenced to five months in prison, along with the club being forced to shut down.
Other media
Mukai is best known in the West from Karl Taro Greenfeld's 1994 novel Speed Tribes where he appears as the thinly veiled character "Choco Bon-Bon" who is depicted as struggling with methamphetamine addiction.\
Mukai played himself in Shungo Kaji's 1999 mainstream film about the adult video industry, Ekiben.
In 2008, in an interview for the April 10 issue of Spa! magazine, Mukai explains how having sex can develop muscles. Accompanied by photos of him and a young starlet, the article has him demonstrating several sex positions and telling how they can be used to get a free workout. His specialty is ekiben, where the couple has sex with the man standing while the woman wraps her arms around his neck. The key to muscular development, according to Mukai, is to support the woman by her thighs and use the arms to move her up and down
