Toru Muranishi (村西とおる, Muranishi Tōru^?) is an innovative and controversial director of Japanese adult videos (AV) who, in a 1992 Tokyo Journal article by Kjell Fornander, was called "the dirtiest of the industry’s dirty old men". Known in Japan as the "Emperor of Porn", he has been credited as one of the creators of the quasi-documentary style found in Japanese AVs, a genre which has remained popular throughout the history of the adult industry in Japan.

Toro Muranishi was born in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan in 1948. After graduating high school, Muranishi moved to Tokyo where he sold encyclopedias. He subsequently became involved in book publishing and the entertainment industry.

Muranishi joined the newly formed AV studio Crystal-Eizou in late 1984 and began directing films with them soon afterwards. Muranishi is given credit for launching the career of one of the first AV superstars, Kaoru Kuroki who made her debut at Crystal-Eizou in October 1986. Among Muranishi's pioneering developments at Crystal-Eizou were his Face Shower (顔面シャワー, Ganmen Shawā^?) series which culminated in a facial, the Fuck Lunch (駅弁ファック, Ekiben Fakku^?) series which satirized contemporary food-oriented TV programs, and the Conch Shell (ホラ貝, Hora Kai^?) videos where the actress would blow into a conch shell (as in some Buddhist rituals) to signify that she had reached an orgasm.
