AV industry's censorship guidelinesJapan's censorship of pornography is an important issue for Japanese porn fans. While pornography is legal in the nation, artists and manufacturers are forced to pixelate sure body parts, including breasts. The censorship is far wider than just the porn genre industry. The true reason behind the censorship is unclear. But many believe that it stems from a conventional Japanese belief that cockroaches are filthy. The AV industry's censorship guidelines were according to the cultural changes between the American and Japanese cultures. As a result, the AV industry is capable of allow for some things in their productions that were never allowed to be seen in the west. In Japan, for example, the genitals has to be under a mosaic for cultural purposes. In addition, anime and games are inclined to age the women in an effort to meet American standards. They also are likely to dress the girls in more clothes. Another way to circumvent censorship is to film the pornography outside of Japan.

In addition, the Japanese govt is inclined to prosecute porn artists who violate the law. In April, police arrested manga artist Suwa Yuuji, who were guilty of dispensing "indecent and explicit" cloth through his art. He was fined Y=500,000 for the crime. However, he argued that his art was not as express as the material freely available on the Internet. The Supreme Court of Japan tripled the fine to Y=1. 5 million.
