Former Japanese adult film actress Kae Asakura, widely known by her stage name Rae Lil Black, has announced her conversion to Islam following a transformative visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Asakura detailed her path to Islam during a candid interview with Singaporean podcaster Dzar Ismail, explaining how encounters with local Muslims in Malaysia profoundly affected her worldview.
Her experiences visiting mosques while wearing hijab left a lasting impression, as she described being deeply moved by the warmth and acceptance she received from the Muslim community.
Her exploration of Islam included participating in Ramadan fasting, which she shared with followers online.
Asakura has also faced questions about her previous career in adult entertainment. In response to concerns about continuing in the industry, she clarified that videos circulating online were recorded years ago and she no longer has rights to that content, suggesting a complete break from her former profession.
Asakura has received considerable support from fellow Muslims. She described being moved to tears by gifts ranging from dates and Islamic texts to a prayer rug from Mecca.
As she continues to navigate her new faith, Asakura’s story highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by converts, especially those with high-profile or controversial pasts.
