I seem to have become a spokeswoman for the too many women who are embarrassed to talk about it." "I talk about life as a woman, but with my background, obviously the focus is on sex. Reflecting on her popularity, unprecedented for an AV model up to that time, Kuroki points out that there was a social need for someone like her.

In addition to TV talk shows, Kuroki also had a role in the TV Asahi costume drama Shigotonin, Kyōto E Iku Yamiuchinin No Nazo No Shuryō ( 必殺スペシャル春一番 仕事人、京都へ行く 闇討人の謎の首領!) which was broadcast on March 3, 1989. While she was popular with her male audience for her AV appearances, she also appealed to a female audience by expressing feminist view on daytime television. Soon she had become a popular daytime TV panellist, was appearing in commercials, and served as a large department store's campaign girl. Impressed by her ability to speak intelligently and matter-of-factly about subjects normally considered unmentionable, late-night talk shows began inviting Kuroki as a guest. Kuroki concedes that her decision to stop shaving her under-arms worked as a gimmick to help set her apart from the mass of AV girls, but considers it also an expression of femininity and identity. Her decision to stop shaving her under-arm hair, as a symbolic protest against Japan's long-standing censorship of the depiction of pubic hair in print or film, gained Kuroki interviews with the mainstream media. Kuroki was engaged in video and magazine appearances typical to being an AV model when she caught the attention of the mainstream media in 1988. That's how I liberate both sexes." Mainstream breakthrough If a man recognizes Kuroki in his wife or girlfriend, he is forced to strip it off in order to deal with her. In order to liberate themselves, they must first take off their armour. Kuroki responds, "The men who find my videos frightening often recognize the wilder, more uninhibited side of their own girlfriends. Some say they almost find her frightening that they can't get a hard-on."
To some, the documentary makes for a jarring experience the feedback she gets from viewers can be surprising. She oscillates between abused sexual slave and the epitome of self-assertion with schizophrenic rapidity. Regarding the sex scenes, Bornoff states, "the peripherals in a Kuroki video are fairly violent stuff. The remaining video footage would be taken up with various sexual performances, often involving S&M. This would typically be followed by a modeling segment, either nude or in a swimsuit. Her videos for Muranishi usually began with her seated, sharply dressed, and addressing the camera in an improvised talk on a subject like sexual liberation. Kuroki, sharing Muranishi's opinion that the AV should have a documentary quality, continued to work with him when he left Crystal-Eizou to found his own company, Diamond Visual. Muranishi is credited as one of the creators of the documentary style often emulated in Japanese AVs. Kuroki's adult video debut was SM Poi no suki ( SMぽいの好き), released in October 1986 by the major AV company Crystal-Eizou, under the innovative AV director and former porn actor, Toru Muranishi. And as with food, viewers can use basic ingredients to 'cook' the desired stimulation from the video themselves." AV debut Your appetite is towards a porno video, so you go and rent whatever turns you on. It's a bit like eating and menus in restaurants: you're hungry and you have a sudden craving for noodles, so you go and eat noodles. It's not very sophisticated, in fact it's primitive. She says the AV "has a different atmosphere. She expresses admiration for the films of Nagisa Oshima, Ingmar Bergman, and Bernardo Bertolucci, but, while she continues to view her AV performances as a social mission, she contrasts the AV with film. In fact, if I'd continued to see porno video as art without also acknowledging it as just a fuck film, I wouldn't have gone this far." "I wanted to approach it purely as a performance art form, but it turned out to be a lot crazier than that.
While still attending Yokohama National University, Kuroki began appearing in adult videos (AVs), at first considering this to be another form of art. She left public school at the age of 15 to attend art college, and later studied Renaissance art history at Yokohama National University. The daughter of an engineer, Kuroki was a naturally gifted child and showed artistic talent from an early age. Kaoru Kuroki (whose stage name translates to "Fragrant Blacktree") was born to a conservative, comfortably middle-class family.
