Zack Arai (ザック荒井 Zakku Arai?) is a Japanese adult video (AV) director who has worked in a wide range of AV genres and has directed more than 200 videos.
Zack Arai was born in the city of Niiza in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from Takushoku University in Tokyo, he joined the large Japanese porn conglomerate Soft On Demand (SOD). Feeling that he had made a mistake joining SOD, he left 3 years later to go to Matsushima Cross' studio CrossWorld. There he joined another former SOD employee, Dragon Nishikawa, and he began directing as early as November 2003. Several of his videos for CrossWorld were for the company's "L" (エル Eru?) label. During this early period, in addition to CrossWorld, he also directed videos for Max-A, Shy Plan, h.m.p., VIP and the Try-Heart Corporation's Sexia label.
When CrossWorld was dissolved in mid-2005 and after two and a half years in business, Arai and Nishikawa both joined Matsushima Cross' new studio, Cross, in late 2005. While still at Cross, in early 2006, Arai began directing for the new start-up studio, Premium, on their Glamorous label. Arai continued working for Premium and has become one of their major directors. Premium is one of the companies in Japan's largest AV firm, the Hokuto Corporation, and Arai has also directed for two other companies in the Hokuto group, S1 and Moodyz.
