Randa Mai (also Mai Randa; Japanese 乱田舞) is a Japanese nawashi and adult-video director tied to commercial bondage SM. He was born on 25 March 1959 and has worked as a professional rope rigger for many years. The alias roughly means “wild dancer.” Viewers who collect Japanese SM tape, and students who collect instructional rope media, meet him as someone who treats kinbaku as a show, not as gallery rope only. The work is with adults.
He is known for bondage-forward AV, especially the Snake Bondage series (蛇縛, Jabaku) for Attackers. Jabaku is the credit many people outside Japan see first. He also makes instructional videos that teach Japanese bondage technique. One track is narrative SM porn. The other is a skill product. The same rope craft is sold as fantasy and as something you can study.
He calls himself an “S&M entertainer,” not only a nawashi. The audience and the performance sit next to the rigger credit. He has performed outside Japan, in Europe and in the United States. He is versed in Shorinji Kempo, body training that carries into heavy rope and live demos. In Tokyo he runs Bar Randa Mai (Bar乱田舞) in Roppongi. For people who want Japanese rope framed as entertainment, the name still marks Attackers’ snake-bondage line, the teaching tapes, the overseas demos, and a Roppongi bar under the same wild-dancer name.
