Kazuhiko Matsumoto (松本和彦 Matsumoto Kazuhiko?) is a Japanese film director, credited with inventing the bukkake genre of Japanese AV (adult video). Because any graphic depiction of the pubic hair and genitals were long banned in Japanese pornography, directors had to find less direct ways of portraying sexual activity. Matsumoto developed the bukkake genre as a way of following these censorship laws literally while still giving his audience visual evidence of male sexual climax.[1] An Nanba and Bunko Kanazawa are two of the prominent AV idols Matsumoto has directed, both while working at the Moodyz company.[2][3]

In 2007, Matsumoto developed "M-Vision" ("M" for Matsumoto), which allows adult video directors to focus their cameras simultaneously on an actress's face and her nether-regions. This was named by Weekly Playboy as the number one innovation likely to change the sex industry in 2008.[4]

Bukkake originally became a porn trend because of the mandatory porn mosaic -- the director can't show penetration, so they have to figure out new visual ways to approach sex acts that will satisfy the audience, without violating Japanese law.”
