Darrell Hamamoto

Hamamoto received his education at CSU Long Beach, Bowling Green State University and UC Irvine. == Influential works ==

He created a 50-minute erotic film named Skin on Skin, which starred Asian American actors and actresses and addresses the desexualization of Asian American males. Hamamoto created another piece called Yellowcaust: A Patriot Act, which includes clips from Skin on Skin and information regarding atrocities committed against Asian Americans in the U.S.'s history. His work has generated controversy for producing porn movies as research. Hamamoto was featured in both The Daily Show and Masters of the Pillow, which is a documentary about Skin on Skin. == Conspiracy theories ==

Hamamoto has promoted several conspiracy theories in both his academic and personal life. He has made several appearances on the far-right InfoWars radio program, hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, where he has promoted the white genocide conspiracy theory, as well as a theory that U.S. Senator John Kerry and the Obama Foundation were involved to a plot to split Hurricane Lane into two separate storms via a secret directed-energy weapon housed in Antarctica. Hamamoto also made a 2014 appearance on the white supremacist and antisemitic Red Ice Radio program. == Books ==
