Koyanagis first description of the disease was in 1914, but was preceded by Jujiro Komoto, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Tokyo, in 1911. A much later article, published in 1929,  definitively associated Koyanagi with the disease. Haradas 1926 paper is recognized for its comprehensive description of what is now known as Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease. References

They are said to cover up the deaths before police or coroners arrive to save the family from shame. In the novel (and later movie adaptation) Rising Sun, death as a result of this type of sexual arousal is explained when it is offered as a possible cause for a murder victims death. In the film Worlds Greatest Dad, the protagonists teenage son accidentally kills himself with asphyxiation whilst sexually aroused. The protagonist then stages his sons death as a suicide, which gives him the opportunity to rise to infamy through a literary hoax. In the film Ken Park a character named Tate practices autoerotic asphyxia. Autoerotic asphyxiation occurs in the cold open of Six Feet Under episode Back to the Garden. Kenny from South Park dies from suffocating while wearing a Batman costume and practicing autoerotic asphyxia in the episode "Sexual Healing". In the season four episode of Californication, titled "Monkey Business", the character Zig Semetauer is found dead in his bathroom by Hank, Charlie and Stu after suffocating due to autoerotic asphyxia, to which Hank quips "Im not averse to the occasional choke-n-stroke, but this is a prime example of why one must always use a buddy system." A character in the film Knocked Up offers to be a "spotter" for a friend if he intends on performing autoerotic asphyxiation. Bruce Robertson, the main character in the 1998 Irvine Welsh novel, Filth, engages in the practice. This is also depicted in the 2013 film adaptation.
