The Japanese porn performer Eimi Fukada has announced on her YouTube channel that she is moving homes after her address was identified.
The 23-year-old, whose adult toys are also immensely popular, was rumbled by college students near where she lives in Shinjuku and by others when she was spotted at a local convenience store.
While they are not as accepted in the mainstream entertainment world as regular models and celebrities — and always euphemistically called “sexy actresses” by the media — top AV stars have thousands of fans, almost all men — and willing to go to great lengths to track down the women they admire.
The risk posed by stalkers is a major issues for idols and models in Japan, from the minor and underground performers to major stars. Stalking incidents have become more prominent of late, including the stabbing of one music idol by a fan (and a amateur porn performer himself) and the sexual assault of NGT48’s Maho Yamaguchi by two fans at her home.
Eimi Fukada may also be worried about thieves. The porn star Yuria Satomi was robbed at her home, during which she was held captive inside her luxury condo, though police quickly apprehended the perpetrators.
