This trope defines a character who is interested in fantasy, sci-fi, computer stuff, or other manner of geeky pastimes. The difference between this character and Proud to Be a Geek is their total lack of embracing their geeky nature. To a vast majority of the population, they would never guess their geeky nature. Reasons for covering up their geekiness may stem from a perceived image of themselves they desire to maintain or running with a group of friends who aren't normally interested in that kind of stuff. Expect Freudian Slips when their topics of interest are discussed, and cries of ...Or So I Heard in a vain attempt to cover it up. See also Public Hater, Private Fan which can overlap with this. May have a Nerd Hoard dedicated to ther geeky pastimes. |

Haruka Nogizaka's Secret has Haruka Nogizaka. It's her secret, and rightfully so. Society in general looks down on Otaku as nothing more than disgusting and perverted freaks; and coming from a rich family, she has a certain image to maintain. She even got a Heroic BSoD back in elementary school over being discovered and ridiculed for being one of these. Worse, her strict father doesn't approve of this hobby either. | |

Disgaea: Rozalin in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is shown to be a Prism Rangers fangirl. She gets annoyed when the Rangers membership lacks all 7 colors of the rainbow and applauds them when filling the roster later on. Then she becomes jealous when Adell is dubbed 'Prism Black'. Mao from Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice claims that all the manga, anime, and comics he consumes about superheroes is merely research so that he can discover the source of a hero's power and use it to overthrow his father, but really he's a much bigger fanboy than he lets on. |

Freddie Prinze, Jr.'s character on Psych, who, after being a not-so-closet geek in high school, has grown up to be, well, Freddie Prinze, Jr., but still has a secret room (even from his wife) of nerd paraphernalia. Naturally, they had to make a "closet nerd" joke when the room was first revealed. Also naturally, his wife turned out to be a closet geek as well. | |

Buffy herself shows signs of this, one specific example is when the Scoobies make up a gym for her to train in she says they're like Q. Okay, fair analogy, one most fans would get. She then amends it by saying she didn't mean the Star Trek: The Next Generation character...wow, most fans would not have even made the obscure connection. | |

The core of Himouto! Umaru-chan is that Umaru is the image of refined perfection in public (to the point that she tells people she's not even allowed to read manga), but she's really an anime and video game-obsessed Otaku in her private life, in addition to being a Lazy Bum. She does her best to ensure that none of her friends find out that she's really an otaku, and has actually invented two separate Secret Identities to cover up: when hanging out with Kirie she pretends to be her own younger sister "Komaru", and with Sylphinford she dons a Domino Mask and goes by "UMR-san". | |

John Stewart's Justice League cartoon incarnation. As an adult, he's a no-nonsense former Marine, but as a kid, he was an avid comic book reader. When a dimension-hop allows him to meet his childhood heroes, he admits to a bemused Flash that if he hadn't had those stories as a kid he might not have ended up wearing the Green Lantern Ring. When he, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are changed into pre-teens, he uses the power ring to create giant mecha-armour for himself. He also used to wear glasses (making him look like Urkel), but change it into a stylish mask (resembling Kyle Rayner's in the comics). | |

In Airheads, the LAPD digs up dirt on would-be rock star Chazz Darvey, who has taken a radio station hostage. SWAT team leader Carl Mace reveals to the crowd (that has come to cheer Chazz and his band on) that Chazz is actually Chester Oglivue. Chazz admits that he was a nerd in high school, and tells his girlfriend that he understands if she doesn't love him anymore. But members of the crowd start shouting that they were nerds in high school, too, and the FBI's gambit fails. To make things even funnier, one of those people is Lemmy from Motörhead. | |

Supernatural's Dean Winchester. He teases Sam for being a geek, but he drops references to Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, The X-Files, amongst others. Especially apparent in LARP and the Real Girl, when Sam pulls up a video of the LARP group's activities, Dean comments it looks awesome but turns stoic when Sam turns to look at him. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Penny is not this...in the first season. But after spending time with the guys, she's slowly become one, able to recall Star Trek plots (and use them as metaphors), kick ass at video games, and quote Star Wars. But, of course, she's not going to admit there's a difference between Star Wars and Star Trek to her (very smart, but not into fandoms) friends Amy and Bernadette. Never mind that she saw the new Star Trek movie on her own and of her own accord before Sheldon did. She also admits having seen Game of Thrones on her own because it had "dragons...and people doing it". Although, granted, there's still a lot of fandoms she really genuinely does not have much interest in, like anything to do with comic books. The 6th season, though, has Penny not only get into comics but drag Bernadette and Amy down with her in a battle over the exact mechanics of Thor's hammer. Also Leonard, who is usually a proud geek, attempted this once. It failed. Zack Johnson, Penny's muscular but not-too-bright ex-boyfriend, likes comic books, particularly Archie Comics. Sheldon claims that those belong "in the bedrooms of ten-year-old girls", but Zack's enough of a fanboy to know that there's way more to Archie than that. |

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail has Chloe Cerise shown as a quiet loner who keeps to herself in the Pokémon world. When on the Infinity Train, she expresses a love of the macabre, a penchant for writing horror stories and a fondness of reciting very dark and morbid lyrics into casual conversation. She has to hide that side of herself because how everyone in her class mocks her for it and instead pressures her to follow in her father's footsteps. | |

Undyne in Undertale is head of the royal guard, and she is as tough as she looks. She also has a secret hobby, but you won't know about it unless you spared and befriended her. Turns out that she is a massive geek when it comes to anime, due to spending time with fellow fan Alphys and encountering such shows in the context of "human history". She'll even ask you if anime is real. | |

Shanna from Fans! spends much of the early part of the series denying her geek-ness. Justified in this case because obsessive fangirl behavior was one of the early symptoms of her mother's mental breakdown; Shanna's afraid that her own fangirl tendencies are signs that she's going insane, too. | |

Stargate-verse: Stargate SG-1: Jack O'Neill obfuscates stupidity about science, but he's an amateur astronomer; he denies liking "that sci-fi stuff" and claims to have never seen Star Wars. Yet it's him who suggests the name Enterprise for their first big ship, and on a mission in the X-302 he wants his code name to be Red Leader. Also, from Season 6's Episode "Redemption", while going through an X-302 Pre-Flight Checklist: His teammate Teal'c is The Stoic and a Proud Warrior Race Guy, but Star Wars is his favorite movie. He's seen it so many times that even though he's read The Bible, the first virgin birth that comes to his mind is Darth Vader, not Jesus. He also catches a Die Hard reference that Daniel misses. John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis. He obfuscates stupidity like O'Neill and is a really laid-back guy, but he's also a Mensa-level mathematical genius who throws out pop culture references whenever he feels like it. At one point, he tries to use Reed Richards as an alias. Also from Atlantis, we have Ronon Dex. At first, he doesn't get why someone would "watch a box" for fun, but after he's been exposed to enough Earth culture, he's making references to Jaws and Alien. |

4chan refers to this trope as "hiding your power level". The general opinion is that your power level must be hidden at all costs, and nobody must ever know that you have such "shameful" interests as anime, video games, comic books, etc. Overlaps with Even Nerds Have Standards, as many power level hiders look down on open/proud nerds, and think that if you aren't ashamed of having nerdy interests, then there must be something wrong with you. | |

In one chapter, he and Miyuki Shirogane discuss their favorite manga when the Student Council girls enter the room. Ishigami promptly throws his friend under the bus rather than admit to the hobby, which leads to Shirogane lecturing the rest of them about how there's no shame in being an otaku and gets them to admit that they like anime too. | |

Stargate SG-1: Jack O'Neill obfuscates stupidity about science, but he's an amateur astronomer; he denies liking "that sci-fi stuff" and claims to have never seen Star Wars. Yet it's him who suggests the name Enterprise for their first big ship, and on a mission in the X-302 he wants his code name to be Red Leader. Also, from Season 6's Episode "Redemption", while going through an X-302 Pre-Flight Checklist: | |

Phineas and Ferb: When attending a sci-fi/fantasy convention in "Nerds of a Feather", Candace cosplays as Ducky Momo in a full-body costume, as a means of hiding herself so that no one will know that she likes a show aimed at preschoolers. Regardless of whatever so-called bully Buford says about being there to beat up nerds, the fact is that he was at that same convention. In Cosplay gear. Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe reveals Candace's crush Jeremy is secretly into LARPing. He's so embarrassed about it that when Stacy stumbles upon his gear, he begs her not to tell Candace. |

He hides it from his co-workers and girlfriend for fear of being laughed at but gradually starts to feel interested in the geeky things on a more regular basis. Eventually, he is simply an outright closet geek rather than responding to the full moon. | |

The Real Ghostbusters: Egon is a fan of The Murray the Mantis Show. (So is Ray.) When Peter grills him on it, Egon hastily stammers, "It's a morality play. *clears throat* Full of complexities." This is repeated in Extreme Ghostbusters when one episode reveals that Eduardo is a fan of J.N Kline's horror comics, which is an obvious take on J.L Giles and H. P. Lovecraft. It becomes a major factor in the plot, and Eduardo's knowledge of the comics is what helps the Ghostbusters defeat the Monster of the Week. |

In Star Trek: Lower Decks, while our Lower Deckers are known for their knowledge of a lot of Trek incidents, Beckett Mariner absolutely loves old starships, but she would deny it with a passion if she said it out loud. In the crossover with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Boimler teases her a bit over her geeking out at being in the Starfleet Museum and in the season 4 premiere, she's ecstatic to be going on board the USS Voyager before quickly brushing it off and claiming it's Boimler who would be. | |

Jiro Kyoka from My Hero Academia compiles journals of notes like Midoriya does, only in regard to rock music rather than superheroes. She thinks it's unheroic and embarrassing, but her classmates are quick to encourage her when they decide to put on a rock concert for U.A.'s Culture Festival. Katsuki Bakugo qualifies too. While he is more of a Jerk Jock and mostly bullies Izuku Midoriya and derisively refers to him and a lot of his peers as "nerds", he himself is quite the geek. Midoriya as a child hero worshipped All Might to the point of wanting to use a hero name that is some variation of the name "All Might", but in the present day decides against it, because they are big shoes to fill and because it'll be embarrassing. Bakugo, on the other hand, without a hint of embarrassment, adopts the hero name Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, as a tribute to his idol. |

In the manga proper, the Zou arc shows him being eager to meet a real ninja in person just like the rest of the (male) Straw Hats, and the Wano arc reveals that he read the comics that were based on Sanji's villainous family, and knows enough about the series that Usopp lampshades it. | |

Spider-Man: In Avenging Spider-Man, Proud to Be a Geek Peter Parker is ecstatic to discover that Steve Rogers used to draw comic books, and Steve is less than happy to talk about it because he doesn't think it's very Captain America. He relents at the end, though, when he realizes this attitude has somewhat dented Spidey's view of him, and the story ends with him showing Peter some new comics he's drawn and asking what he thinks. | |

Stranger Things: Lucas' sister Erica teases her brother and his friends for being nerds, but it turns out that she's a math whiz, very politically-savvy for a preteen, and a fan of My Little Pony. Dustin's pretty shocked when he realizes this, and she takes offense when he calls her a nerd over it. By the start of the fourth season, though, she's embraced her nerdy side and become quite the D&D player. | |

El Goonish Shive: Mr. Verres If he's not into geeky things, he's at least extremely familiar with them in his role as the man behind covering up real-life SF & fantasy shenanigans. He's been stated to be familiar with the term "Delayed Blast Fireball". For example, when Grace wanted to wear some alien spandex for a workout. Diane initially has an extremely negative idea of what a geek is, to the point she can't understand why anyone would claim Geek Pride. She doesn't particularly conceal that she's into video games, and novelisations of video games, she just doesn't see why there's a label to go with that. She eventually accepts that her new friends see things differently, and that by assuring them they weren't geeks she was actually offending them a bit, but she still doesn't get it. |

House of the Dragon: As King, Viserys is expected to be a very public and nobility-pleasing persona, sponsoring bloodsports like the tourney and hunting, as any medieval king (both in fantasy and Real Life) is expected to do. In private, however, he seems to be far more occupied with the histories of the Targaryen dynasty and that of Old Valyria—as evidenced by Alicent's initial choice of entertainment for him (a history book), the fact that he spends a lot of time playing with a model of Old Valyria's capital city/citadel and dragon figurines, as well as spending time reflecting in front of the skull of Balerion. | |

Clara Oswald from Doctor Who doesn't really come off as the geek type. Until the Doctor agrees to take her to meet Robin Hood (and she decides to go into full-out cosplay mode), and she totally geeks out about Jane Austen to the point of claiming to know more about her than the Doctor. Exaggerated after an Off Screen Moment Of Awesome where she not only met Jane but apparently snogged her, a fact that she can't resist boasting about to her students. | |

Eventually, he is persuaded to show his collection to paying customers, first for a village festival and later on a scheduled basis. | |

This is repeated in Extreme Ghostbusters when one episode reveals that Eduardo is a fan of J.N Kline's horror comics, which is an obvious take on J.L Giles and H. P. Lovecraft.

Kirsty from the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy. In Only You Can Save Mankind, she's very cautious about admitting that, in the game, she calls herself Sigourney. And in Johnny and the Bomb she accidentally admits to having a shelf full of Star Trek videos, and immediately claims that "the programme happens to be an accurate reflection of late 20th-century social concerns, actually." When non-closeted geek Yo-less asks if she has a Starfleet uniform, she refuses to answer. | |

Mikoshiba from Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is a massive videogame otaku, who also collects bishojo figurines and helps Nozaki draw manga. He hides it from everyone except Sakura (who found out by accident) and Nozaki (who he plays games with sometimes, and lets him store his figures at his apartment) to maintain his "cool guy" image. He temporarily switches to Proud to Be a Geek when Wakamatsu (who also helps Nozaki with manga) tries to offer solidarity, calling himself an otaku for reading shoujo manga, only for Mikoshiba to criticize him for daring to call himself an otaku at that level. |

In truth, he makes barely any effort at all to hide it, even displaying some Steel Samurai merchandise in his office right out in the open.

Buffyverse: Faith Lehane. She reads comic books, references songs, discusses Dr. Seuss, suggests Angel claim someone was cosplaying as him, wore a Batman t-shirt when working with Giles, references Batman: Arkham Asylum and especially Star Wars, compares herself to Yoda, likes Transformers and Mayor Wilkens buys her off with a PlayStation. Here's one better: Angel has admitted — if only in his thoughts — to being a serious Douglas Adams fan. Yes. That Angel. Reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Apparently, it helped him through a difficult period in The '80s... They'd end up sharing their own series. Birds of a Feather indeed. Spike. While the Scoobies are holding him hostage in Season 4, his biggest concern is missing the next episode of Passions. Amanda's a Bully Hunter in swing choir, but the finale shows her to be a knowledgeable Dungeons & Dragons player. Buffy herself shows signs of this, one specific example is when the Scoobies make up a gym for her to train in she says they're like Q. Okay, fair analogy, one most fans would get. She then amends it by saying she didn't mean the Star Trek: The Next Generation character...wow, most fans would not have even made the obscure connection. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation has an unexpected example in Captain Picard, diplomat, badass, and very serious man, who much to his officers' amusement had a huge geek-out over the realism of the "Dixon Hill" holodeck program. Picard also gets really excited about archaeology, and on the away team exploring an old ship, he behaved like a child in a chocolate factory. He's also pretty geeky about Shakespeare to the point where he keeps a treasured Complete Works of Shakespeare in his ready room, usually protected under glass the same way an action figure collector might display his treasures. In a season one episode, they run a feed from Geordi's VISOR to the bridge view screen. Captain Picard sidetracks the mission for a few minutes watching in amazement and asking Geordi what several things are. It takes Commander Riker clearing his throat to remind Picard that they are there because of a distress signal. |
