_[The Anime Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anime_Man)_ has some
interviews with people working in the anime industry. In [the
one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5sr-xdN13I&ab_channel=TheAnimeMan) with
a creator of _Redo of Healer_ and [the
one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBcJ59i-lcY&ab_channel=TheAnimeMan) with
a Ǝ voice actress, the interviewees wear masks, while in [the
one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm0U9G4dj60&ab_channel=TheAnimeMan) with
a normal innocent anime voice actress, the interviewee does not wear any mask.
It seems that the 2 interviewees working in the hentai industry do not want
others to know that.

Besides, there's also a similar phenomenon in _Kakushigoto_ , where the father
doesn't want her daughter to know that he's an eromanga sensei. Here's the
[synopsis](https://myanimelist.net/anime/40716/Kakushigoto?q=kakushigoto&cat=anime#:%7E:text=Kakushi%20Gotou%20is,to%20his%20workplace.)
from _MyAnimeList_.

> Kakushi Gotou is a somewhat popular manga artist whose works are known for
> inappropriate content. Because of this raunchiness, when his daughter Hime
> was born, he vowed to keep his profession hidden from her, believing that
> she will be disillusioned if she finds out.
>
> This paranoia-induced belief leads Kakushi into hectic situations. Despite
> being a single father, he does his best and often resorts to extreme ends
> just to protect his secret, such as guising as a salaryman every day or
> holding emergency drills in case Hime somehow finds her way to his
> workplace.

These materials make me wonder whether a job in the hentai industry is widely
frowned upon in Japan.
