There has recently been a scandal involving FC Tokyo defender Matsuda Riku. It has recently come to light that he allegedly starred in 2 videos made by the gay porn company KO Company in December 2012. Both of these videos were released under their “Beast” line of videos. One has the translated title of “At Last After Negotiating for 6 months the Active Duty Rugby Man Gave In!!”, while the other is titled “Beast Premium Disc 097.” Riku has denied that he is the man in these videos but netizens aren’t buying his story.

Riku, who is of Japanese descent via his mother and Indonesian descent via his father, entered the J-League last April. He is seen as a good player with a good personality with the potential to be a star.

He is said to had made these videos while he was in his 3rd year at Biwako Seikei Sport College. The man in these videos uses the stage name “Takeyama Shotaro.” He does not have actual intercourse in the movies but is sexual in other ways with another man.

Matsuda Riku has taken to Twitter to defend himself against these allegations. He says that he is not the man in the videos and that this is slander. He has apologized to his team and those who know and support him for these rumors. He vows to carry on as a footballer, with dignity, in light of this scandal.

However, the netizens aren’t buying his story. There have been several comparisons made between Matsuda Riku and “Takeyama Shotaro.” Such as this visual one:

Even the users on Girls’ Channel have gotten in on the action:

Riku is not the first professional athlete to be involved in such a scandal. Baseball player Terashima Kandai, who was recently drafted by the Chiba Lotte Marines, is said to had starred in a gay porn video by the BRAVO! company with the translated title of “Anal Prince 3 – Anal Destruction of Beautiful Boys!” He too made this film while a college student. It is said that gay porn companies seek out broke college athletes because they have nice bodies and are in need of money. A lot of these men also believe that since their eyes aren’t shown on the covers of these movies, as is customary in the world of JGV, that nobody will find out about their participation in these works.
