[edit] Life and career
Born in Gunma Prefecture on December 15, 1966[1], Mukai's nickname stems from the resemblance of his dark brown scrotum to Chocoball candy.[2]
Mukai is best known in the West from Karl Taro Greenfeld's 1994 novel Speed Tribes as the thinly-veiled character "Choco Bon-Bon", depicted his struggle with methamphetamine addiction. Mukai has since kicked that habit, though, and in 1999 launched a successful side career as a pro wrestler.
The sex industry is still his main source of income: in 2004 he was arrested for performing a live sex show at a Tokyo "happening bar", or sex club. He admitted his guilt to police, reportedly saying "It's my job."
As a wrestler he has competed for FMW and, following its collapse, its derivatives. He once applied to join the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo but was rejected.
