The perception among some fans that as a result of Artist Disillusionment, some writers, artists, and other creative folk spurn public relations, interaction with audiences, signing autographs, and seem to hide behind their work. Maybe they just don't work well with public relations, maybe they prefer being alone and working quietly. It might also be due to:
Some fans being stupid, frightening, or just completely missing the point of the artist's work, or having a large Hatedom.
The belief that Celebrity Is Overrated. This ranges from simply desiring to live a more private life to being completely overwhelmed by fame. The behavior of fanbases, as noted above, also help fuel this mentality.
An issue in their personal life.
Being a shy or private person, or just wishing to not be in (or keep their family/loved ones out of) the public eye.
Falling into disgrace due to some serious scandal that has made them unwelcome among their peers and/or in public, which may involve sexual misconduct, bigoted attitudes such as racism or homophobia/transphobia, or some other issue that might make others condemn them.
A dislike of other people or a mental condition that may make it difficult for them to function among large crowds.
Whatever the case, not everyone takes popularity well, after all. So, who can blame them when they want to disappear from the public eye?
A Reclusive Artist is one who is notoriously hard to find, who goes out of their way to avoid interviews and public appearances. This has examples that fit into two Logical Extremes:
The artist disappears so completely that they are declared Legally Dead.
The artist's very identity is unknown.
Compare and contrast Hikikomori, The Hermit, Hermit Guru, Celebrity Is Overrated. Also, compare Persona Non Grata where the reclusiveness is akin to exile. If they only unveil a single masterpiece before dropping off the radar, they're a One-Book Author or One-Hit Wonder. See Eccentric Artist, Sensitive Artist, and Starving Artist for other artist stereotypes.

Sp00nerism used to be this back when he was part of The Creatures. He never appeared in real-life vlogs of the group and the only time he was seen on camera was wearing a horse mask. This changed in 2013 when he surprised his fans with a face reveal during an RTX panel. Since then he's dropped the secrecy and has shown himself on camera more often.

Darby Conley of Get Fuzzy probably rivals Bill Watterson above. While he did allow some interviews in the early years of his strip, nowadays his public appearances are very, very limited. His last known appearance was in 2010 when he appeared with FoxTrot creator Bill Amend.

Out of the main cast for angelarts' VA Let's Play Earthbound, only LuckyJack020 and HypeVoiceActing continued being voice actors, while MechaMichealis and HylianOni quit voice acting and put their channels on different paths. PixelPrattleXP abandoned her YouTube channel sometime after the Let's Play was finished and moved to Tumblr, and Schaly has basically abandoned social media in 2015, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Miu of Blend-S seems to heavily dislike staying outside and interacting with people:
In Episode 6, the cast goes on an outdoor trip to a lake. Kaho, Akizuki, and especially Miu appear almost physically ill.
In Episode 8, she happily thinks to herself that, having bought enough paper, she won't have to go outside until the next Fan Convention.

From the Story of Seasons series: strong, silent metal-punching sculptor Gordy, who appears in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, its spinoffs Harvest Moon DS and DS Cute, and its remake Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. He moved from the city to the isolated hamlet of Forgotten Valley, barely socializing with any of the townsfolk as he tends to forget the outside world when he gets absorbed in his art.

She actually writes many of her works under various pen names to give herself an aura of mystery and spent a good chunk of her life writing novels that she didn't let anyone read.

Very little is known about Fish Police creator Steve Moncuse, other than that he is from California. After Fish Police ended, he inked a few other comics before quietly retiring, presumably also in California. In 2010, cbr.com interviewed him when IDW reprinted the first four issues of Fish Police in an anthology. The interview revealed at the time that Moncuse had two daughters and had recently retired from a job as a third-grade teacher when one of them became extremely ill. The interview also revealed that he was working on further installments of Fish Police, but nothing has come of them since.

Iron Tower Studio game designer Vince D. Weller, who served as director for The Age of Decadence, is actually operating under an alias, and while active in terms of communication, it's only when it concerned the game. An interview with Rock Paper Shotgun revealed that this a necessity due to him already working at another company, thus not allowing him to manage other businesses openly.

Tomoyoshi Miyazaki, co-creator of the Ys series (having worked as a scenario writer for the first three installments with director and lead programmer Masaya Hashimoto) and founder of the development company Quintet that worked on various cult Super NES classics such as SoulBlazer and Illusion of Gaia, disappeared from the public completely after his involvement with a shady credit card settlement company that went out of business in 2010 due to being unable to actually pay off any of its customers' debt. Because of this the rights to Quintet's back-catalog were in legal limbo for years, as Miyazaki was nowhere to be found for negotiations. It wasn't until 2021, that Square Enix was able to remake one of Quintet's titles, ActRaiser, for current platforms, with former members of the Terranigma team also campaigning for that game's revival.

Shouzou Kaga, often credited as the brains behind Fire Emblem, helmed the first five installments of the series (from 1990 to 1999), and then abruptly left Nintendo not too long after Thracia 776's release. He then established his own studio, Tirnanog, and in 2001 made TearRing Saga for the PS1, which is so literally "Fire Emblem on the PlayStation" that Nintendo sued him over it. Kaga seemed to escape the lawsuit relatively unscathed, made Berwick Saga (a semi-sequel to TearRing) in 2005. Then, for a good decade, Shouzou Kaga remained mostly silent, mostly blogging and working on projects that fell through prior to gaining any real ground (a Tear Ring Saga remake among them) Finally, in May of 2015, Shouzou Kaga broke his silence and announced a new SRPG, Vestaria Saga, that was released in 2019.

Shinichi Shimomura, one of the leading designers of the Kirby series and the director of Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, vanished sometime after Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land's release. He's so elusive that a sizable contingency of people assumed that he was actually Satoru Iwata operating under a pseudonym, which was eventually debunked when two pictures of Shimomura from a Japanese Kirby's Dream Course guidebook surfaced online in 2022. Other rumors suggest that he passed away in 2003, possibly in a car accident, but the lack of information regarding Shimomura (to the point where only devoted Kirby fans are aware of his existence) leaves his fate inconclusive; most folks assume that he simply retired.

Virtually nothing can be discerned about whoever is behind the name Jaho-12, writer and artist of Fifteen Minds. They've been active on Tumblr since 2013 under the name 1212m, mostly posting fanart of Pokemon before starting the comic, and have never revealed so much as a scrap of information about themself, not even a country of residence or origin or even a gender, much less a real name or image. In posts thanking their followers for their support and such, they always use their personal reimagining of a humanoid Space Core from Portal 2 as a stand-in... which similarly lacks features.

Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury. Other than a 1971 appearance on To Tell the Truth and a few spare interviews (the last one was in 1973), he avoided media attention during the strip's heyday, which is quite phenomenal when you consider that he married a famous TV journalist (Jane Pauley). After the strip's 20th anniversary in 1990, he started giving interviews again, but he's still very selective about who he talks to.

The author of the autobiographical Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san uses both the pseudonym Honda, which for a person who works in a retail bookstore is a Punny Namenote The "Hon" in "Honda" means "book"., and draws herself as a human skeleton alongside her former coworkers who are all drawn and identified by their fanciful and outlandish masks. In an interview about the anime adaptation she is only shown wearing a paper cut-out mask of Honda (a skull). The anonymity was so strong that fans of the anime were under the impression that Honda was a man after it used Gender Flip voice casting. There is even a point that made it into the manga and anime where she attended a nomikai work mixer before she left her job at the bookstore and while her manga was starting to get popular and encountered someone at another location who thought the story was unrealistic due to how their wholesaler was positively portrayed. She sheepishly apologizes, outing herself to her shocked colleague.

Discworld examples:
Leonard of Quirm is first introduced locked away in a secluded wing of the Patrician's palace and rarely if ever allowed into the outside world, which appears to be fully voluntary on his part: Given his Absent-Minded Professor tendencies and penchant for designing weapons of such terrible destructive power that they frighten even him, keeping him out of the public eye is necessary for his own safety and that of the general public.
Methodia Rascal in Thud!, who spent his entire life shut up in his rooms, painting a huge mural of the Battle of Koom Valley, writing odd notes to himself, and occasionally worrying that he might be a chicken.
Subverted with Miss Felicity Beadle, children's author, in Snuff, whose neighbours think of her as reclusive, whereas she's actually very sociable with the local goblin tribes, and is only a Shrinking Violet when dealing with other humans because the alternative would be screaming at them about their Fantastic Racism. Possibly in Goblin.

Russell Hall is best known for being the lead animator for Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he has had only two known interviews for his work on the film, he'd been animating since the 1970s and his last known credit was for The Iron Giant. There were unsuccessful attempts to contact him for a comic con appearance for the 25th anniversary of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Even his most frequent employer, Richard Williams, didn't know his whereabouts.

Phelous creator Phelan Porteous seldom leaves his Canadian home. While he did used to collaborate with many people often in the day - even his own sister appeared in a few early videos of his - by 2013 Phelous become almost entirely a solo show. After he left Channel Awesome in 2015, he stopped doing collaborations with almost anyone - even ex-Channel Awesome members - outside of Brad Jones (aka the TheCinemaSnob, at least prior to 2018) and his girlfriend (later wife) AllisonPregler (aka Obscurus Lupa). He also doesn't go to conventions and keeps his personal life very quiet, outside of two posts he made on Twitter (where he's far more active) in 2021 about him and Lupa getting engaged and later married that same year.

Downplayed by Soviet Womble: He's not particularly secretive about his personal life, but he refuses to ever show his face on camera while streaming; partly because he considers it vain, but also because he'd rather not get hassled by fans in the street. (Rumours that he really is a womble are strenuously denied.)) The only part of him that's ever been seen on camera is a hand either petting or feeding a dog treat to his beloved French Bulldog Lulu.

Before the launch of Mighty No. 9 Keiji Inafune was pretty active both on social media and on the interview scene, doing regular talks with websites and engaging with fans. However, after the game's shaky launch and tepid reception, along with his comments about the Japanese game industry and his role in Capcom's Audience-Alienating Era of moving towards more Western-focused games making him a pariah in the industry, he's since been mostly quiet and shied away from the public eye.

Juliano Enrico was well-known in Brazil since the early 2010s, being a MTV presenter and host and writer of talk-show programs such as Choque de Cultura and O Último Programa do Mundo. A few years later, his most well-known work, the cartoon Jorel's Brother became a big hit, with Juliano participating in several interviews, ads, and Cartoon Network videos about the show. However, in April 2019, he got involved in a huge controversy due to his ex-girlfriend publicly speaking about how her previous boyfriend used to abuse her physically, sexually and verbally, leading most people to believe and later, discover that it was indeed Juliano. Since then, he's become inactive in any social medias and disappeared from all public appearances, sometimes being said to be reclusive just to "focus on his show". While he participated in the fourth season of Jorel's Brother premiering in 2021 (though this may be due to Production Lead Time), he seems to have been mostly phased out from the team now.

Not much is known about Kikiyama, creator of Yume Nikki. They will occasionally respond to emails but generally stay very quiet. Their website hasn't been updated in years and they haven't made any games aside from Yume Nikki. Even after several high-profile derivative works based on the game were announced in 2013, they still haven't stepped out of the shadows. Even after it was announced that Kikiyama was personally involved in the follow-up announced in 2018, little is known about them. Some even speculate that Kikiyama is actually multiple people. It wasn't until 2023 that they would be interviewed by Toby Fox.

For two years, YouTuber The Mysterious Mr. Enter didn't show his face or reveal his real name, instead representing himself with a static cartoon avatar and using the pseudonym "Mr. Enter". Even after he revealed his real name and showed his face, Enter seldom talks to others online (outside of his Patreon-only Discord; hus public one went down June 30th) and does not share his e-mail or Skype with anyone but his very close friends/workers for his projects. He also deleted his Tumblr back in 2016, briefly closed his Twitter in early 2020, and left DeviantArt in mid-July of that same year, making him more, well, mysterious. He has since reopened up new accounts of the latter two, but he's still very quiet and selective about sharing his personal life.

Legendary French avant-garde director and multimedia artist Christ Marker, best known for directing La Jetée and Sans Soleil, rarely spoke to the press about his work and was rarely ever photographed, preferring to be represented with a cartoon drawing of one of his cats, Guillaume-en-Egypt. (One of the few interviews he ever did, and the last before his death, was done using a Guillaume-en-Egypt avatar in Second Life, where he kept a virtual museum that's still up to this day) And whenever he did reveal details about his personal life, he was fond of making stuff up: he always claimed to have been born in Mongolia while most sources place his birth in Paris or the nearby city of Neuilly-sur-Seine, and while it was true that he fought in the French Resistance it's unknown whether he also served in the US Air Force as he commonly claimed. When asked why he was so secretive, he always claimed "My works should be enough for them"

Bo Andersson founded Overkill Software with his brother Ulf and with it helped direct PAYDAY: The Heist along with its sequel. However, internal strife between the brothers (chief among them being that Bo was the mastermind behind Payday 2's infamous safe drill fiasco which Ulf was heavily against) caused Ulf to leave Overkill. Bo and Overkill would eventually work with Starbreeze Studios to create a disastrous piece in 2018 based off of The Walking Dead which had plenty of backstage drama and was one of 2018's biggest gaming flops. Its failure combined with the bad blood from the PAYDAY fandom towards his decisions and several Starbreeze/Overkill executives being indicted for insider trading, has made Bo pull a Jeff Spangenberg and seemingly disappear not just from the industry, but from the face of the Earth entirely.

In the Big Finish Doctor Who mini-episode "My Own Private Mozart", it's discovered that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself has actually become one of these. Having been made immortal in exchange for annual symphonies produced exclusively for his mysterious patron, he's long since outlived all his loved ones and his popularity, as by now he's worn out all creative impulses through decades of contract-driven work. At the age of a hundred, Mozart lives alone except for his butler - who actually goes so far as to arrange a special birthday party of masked guests just so someone will listen to his music, hence why the Doctor and Evelyn get involved. And it turns out that both the butler and the guests are mass-produced clones of Mozart looking for meaning in their lives.

It is common for some pro wrestlers to become this once they retire, especially if they never made it big. Aksana and Layla have both mostly stopped using social media upon retiring and staying out of the public eye (Layla did eventually do an interview for YouTube channel Ring The Belle in 2021, which was her first interview since her retirement in 2015). Terri Poch (aka. Tori of the Attitude Era) doesn't even have a Twitter account and rarely attends conventions. But one of the most prominent examples of this is Muhammad Hassan. Despite lasting only seven months on WWE's main roster, he is one of the most talked-about wrestlers in the fandom even today. Ever since retiring in 2005 amid the massive controversy surrounding him, he has mostly kept to himself and returned back to college to get a degree in education and was discovered in 2018 to be the principal of a middle school in New York. He did, however, attend a wrestling convention in 2010 and he worked with the late Shad Gaspard (formerly of Cryme Tyme) on a graphic novel and as of 2018, he has returned to wrestling, albeit in the indies.

Zig-zagged by Tarn "Toady One" Adams of Dwarf Fortress fame. While he's very willing to give interviews and attends the occasional con, in his personal life he seems to spend most of his time holed up in his apartment, sleeping during the day and working at night, and living mainly off Quiznos sandwiches and Dr Pepper. After the New York Times article that brought his hikkikomori tendencies to the attention of the fans there was a rather heartwarming outpouring of concern for his long-term health and offers to send him some proper food or even find him a live-in housekeeper.

Kevin Dunn, the long-time WWE executive and right hand to Vince McMahon, keeps an extremely low profile. He does not use any social media nor does he make any public appearances or do interviews. One of his few appearances on WWF/E TV (possibly his only appearance), was Eric Bischoff going out to the production truck and yelling at him "Kevin Dunn, what the hell was that?!?", which is often shown on Botchamania after a clip of a production fuckup. There are only a handful of pictures of him on the Internet and all known information about him comes from those who have worked with him. Considering that Dunn is widely disliked by both wrestling fans and almost everyone in the wrestling business besides McMahon, this is probably a wise move.

Very, very little is known about Carol, creator of the Super Mario World ROM hack Brutal Mario. They have no social media presence, no personal information is known about them in general and they've done no interviews online about their work whatsoever. Then again, this is also kind of a trend with Japanese ROM hack authors as a whole, with the people behind Super Mario World YEAHH, Scarlet Devil Mario and Super Mario LD being equally reclusive and hard to find out about online.

Cr1TiKaL early on, and still is to an extent, very reclusive. The only thing people originally knew about him was that he was a male. There was a rumor at the time that his name was Charlie from a comment that was left on one of his first videos but it was up for debate if that was true. He would drop hints from time to time about some personal life, but people were unsure if any of it was true. It wasn't until 2015 that he confirmed his real name was Charlie and in 2017 he showed off his face for the first time. Recently he has more comfortable with being on camera and has opened up about more of his life, showing his girlfriend, dogs, and even his father in recent videos.

Paru Itagaki, creator of Beastars, is a very private person and has never shown her face in public, always opting to wear a Jacket-like chicken mask whenever she appears at events (when she got married she even released a picture of herself wearing it in her wedding dress). One thing that is known about her is that she's the daughter of Keisuke Itagaki, creator of Baki the Grappler, and part of the reason for her reclusiveness was not wanting to be seen as riding on his coattails. On the other hand, she's also launched an autobiography manga (Paruno Graffiti), indicating that she is at least willing to talk about her life in manga format.

Gunnerkrigg Court creator Tom Siddell, for a long time, was largely a mystery. He talked about himself very little, worked during the weekdays as an animator for an unknown video game company, and lived in Birmingham. There were very few images of him on the Internet, and while he attends conventions on occasion, he never revealed his real face outside those appearances, instead drawing an Author Avatar with shadowed, crazed eyes and a wonky smile. However, since he's begun working full-time on his comic, his convention appearances have increased and he's allowed himself to be filmed for an interview at least once. He has also tweeted photos of himself on a handful of occasions, although usually not identifying the person in the photo as him. He would later explicitly reveal his face in his Patreon video (where he looks like a normal person).

Dr. Kenneth Farnstien became this in The Journeyman Project 2, during the year 2221. He purchased a space station and moved it into Saturn's orbit, and only made a brief reappearance on Earth in an attempt to sell some paintings made by what he claimed to be a new kind of Artificial Intelligence, which in fact was true. Dr. Farnstien later perished when the station was hit by a meteor shower in 2247.

Karine Charlebois was once a busy woman, doing work on TV shows and drawing for the Gargoyles comic, but around the mid-2010s she began to vanish from the furry fandom. She still does TV work (recently she did storyboarding for Arthur), but most of her online profiles (with the exception of Instagram) have been updated since at least 2013.

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and its many adaptations), legendary chocolatier Willy Wonka has been this for years when the story starts, at least since industrial espionage forced him to fire his original workforce and retire for a time. And when his factory started making candy again, no one could figure out how it was possible, since no one was ever seen entering or leaving the place. Thus, when the prospect of winning a visit to the factory is raised, it becomes a global obsession...

Subaru Mikazuki one of the two protagonists of My Roommate is a Cat is an author who is also very socially reclusive to almost Hikikomori levels (thought he's tidier than most), this has only gotten worse at the beginning of the story as his parents had recently passed away in a traffic accident and he'd withdrawn even more into himself. However after adopting a cat Haru he starts to open up a little to his editor, his only childhood friend and said friends family, and to the cute woman who is a clerk at the local pet store. He still is socially anxious and has a panic attack during a book signing he agrees to go on but as the story progresses starts becoming less isolated.

Prior to his retirement in 2020, The Undertaker rarely did any interviews or public appearances and avoided social media for the most part (the few times anything about him popped up on social media, it usually came from his wife Michelle McCool), likely to preserve the mystique of his character. He joined social media in the late 2010s and began doing more interviews after retiring.

Tsugumi Ohba, author of Death Note, is a particularly extreme example, to the point he's been rumored to be Hiroshi Gamo, the author of Tottemo Luckyman, under a pseudonym.
Ohba's series Bakuman。, which is supposedly semi-autobiographical, is about a writer/artist team who publish under a single pseudonym. This has led fans to speculate that Ohba is actually two or more people (a theory made somewhat less likely when Ohba's partnership with artist Takeshi Obata is taken into account).
Even in the Death Note handbook he says very little in regards to the plot's interpretations and himself.

Drew Misham, and his daughter Vela, from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. This actually turns out to be a deconstruction; because he insisted on being an artist, his wife left him and his daughter to fend for themselves. He becomes this after an incident where his daughter was kidnapped, and her distrust of the outside world forces him to lock his door, only communicating with a two-way mailbox. His own income as an artist was only barely enough for them to get by, and was forced to turn to forgery in order to pay the bills.

"Night Film" has the reclusive filmmaker Stanislas Cordova, who has gained a sort of Stanley Kubrickian reputation. All of his films are released via an "underground network" rather than through a traditional studio and are reportedly very disturbing. He is rumored to not have left his massive estate in decades. Also, there are only a few photographs of him and many believe that he wears drag to disguise himself as his personal assistant. In the end, it is revealed that the two are different people, and Cordova himself was committed to a nursing home.

Pokémon:
Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of the Pokémon franchise, rarely makes public appearances, though he is still very involved at Game Freak as its Executive Producer. This ended up reaching a point where photos of Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of The Pokémon Company, are frequently mislabeled as ones of Tajiri.
Atsuko Nishida, the artist of many iconic Pokémon including Pikachu and Bulbasaur, is notoriously camera-shy. Very few photos of her exist, and in 2018, she spent an entire interview hiding behind a giant Pikachu doll.

Before that, she was an aversion as she has appeared in photos for several interview articles during her early days of drawing Yamada-kun.

Matthew Smith, the programmer and designer of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy became one of the few "name brands" of the UK games industry of the mid-'80s before announcing a new game, called Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens From Mars in the late-'80s and then seemingly walking off the face of the Earth. (Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens From Mars was finished by other coders and released as Star Paws.) In the '90s there was even a website called "Where is Matthew Smith?" featuring reports of "sightings" and speculation about where he had gone and/or what had happened to him. After all of that, Smith re-appeared via the internet at the end of the 1990s and is now fairly well-known amongst the retrogaming community, appearing at several live shows.

Jack Chick, who was interviewed exactly once during his four-decade career in writing and drawing comics. It's been rumored that this was because he was extremely paranoid. He was reclusive to the point that to this day there's still uncertainty about whether his tracts reflected the way he saw the world, or he was just trolling. If they are to be taken seriously and express his world vision, then it's normal that he was paranoid. On the other hand, maybe this reclusiveness accounts for all the blatant ridiculous inaccuracies in his tracts.

ZONE-SAMA, a popular artist/animator known for making NSFW animations of cartoons/video games (whose art styles and animation are often stunningly accurate to the source material being parodied) since 2001, and has even had a hand in animating for video games like Skullgirls. Despite this popularity, virtually nothing is known about them, up to and including their exact age, location, and gender. note They are often assumed to be female due to their female mascot, Zone-Tan, but this has neither been confirmed nor denied. Interestingly, unlike most artists of this status, ZONE is highly active on social media, often giving updates on their projects and freely interacting with friends and fans.

Almost nothing is known about the creator behind Bad Lip Reading since he chooses to remain anonymous so that the humor of his videos doesn't affect his more serious work. The few things he has revealed are that he's male, from Texas, was inspired to create the channel after he tried to read lips like his deaf mother did, and does all the voices in his videos himself, even the female ones (though he has had guest voice actors in some later videos).

Despite creating one of the biggest cartoons of all-time with SpongeBob SquarePants, Stephen Hillenburg himself was a very private, quiet person. He initially stepped down from the series after The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, feeling that three seasons and a movie was enough...but the series kept on going and growing, though he would return to work on the series years later in the second half of season 9 following the completion of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water in 2015. (It was rumored he had an existential crisis when he casually saw a Sponge Bob-themed gumball machine, that freaked out by how big a phenomenon his series had become.) When the late cartoonist was diagnosed with ALS in 2017, he requested for privacy during this time; the fandom did just that. He continued to work on Sponge Bob up until his death in 2018.

By the time The Wicked + The Divine begins Tara has completely withdrawn from making any public appearances outside of increasingly rare performances and only meets with the rest of Pantheon if there's a very good reason. People assume this is because she's just stuck-up and views herself as superior to everyone else. It's actually because she's attracted a massive Hatedom and receives so many rape and death threats that staying away from the public is for her own safety.

Todd in the Shadows is kind of a Downplayed example because we know his real name (Kenneth Munson - "Todd Nathanson" is a pseudonym) and he interacts with fans, but he always wears a mask over the top half of his face, not wanting people to know what he looks like. This gimmick was apparently because he was working for a newspaper at the time and was considering a teaching job, but stuck to video reviews instead when they proved more sustainable. While he often joked about the ambiguity of his appearance and race, he appears unmasked in a 2016 video shot by Lindsay Ellis (he’s visible in the “Norway� introduction), and Ellis confirmed in a later video that Todd is half-Vietnamese.

Ace Attorney:
Elise Deauxnim, the victim in the final case of Trials And Tribulations, is stated to be a very popular picture book author, but was so reclusive and mysterious that even the police struggle to get info on her. Turns out she's Misty Fey, Maya and Mia Fey's Missing Mom.
Drew Misham, and his daughter Vela, from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. This actually turns out to be a deconstruction; because he insisted on being an artist, his wife left him and his daughter to fend for themselves. He becomes this after an incident where his daughter was kidnapped, and her distrust of the outside world forces him to lock his door, only communicating with a two-way mailbox. His own income as an artist was only barely enough for them to get by, and was forced to turn to forgery in order to pay the bills.

Tord Larsson, a Norwegian artist and animator mostly known for his involvement in Eddsworld became this shortly after his departure from the series in 2008, due to wanting to pursue his own artistic career and not simply be known for his involvement in the Flash series. Persistent and toxic fans who didn't respect or understand his decision to leave Eddsworld, in part due to neither him nor creator Edd Gould really explaining his leave properly, began to harass Tord, causing him to go off the grid. He was not only totally distant to fans but also the Eddsworld crew as he was only in contact with Gould and not his co-stars Matthew Hargreaves and Thomas Ridgwell. It should also be noted that the latter claimed that the harassment of Tord got so bad he stopped using his actual name on the internet. He later re-emerged following Gould's passing, releasing a video in which he clarified why he left and dispelling any rumors. For whatever reason this video along with the Youtube channel was deleted. To this day, Tord's whereabouts remain unknown, with him leaving behind lost or dead social media accounts.

The Stig is made out to be this "in-universe", for lack of a better word. Averted rather spectacularly when the previous Stig outed himself by way of a tell-all book about his time on the show. The identity of the current Stig remains unknown, but there are rumours that the role has passed on to Sabine Schmidt, a professional racing driver and co-presenter of the German answer to Top Gear who guest-starred in a couple of the team's adventures on the Continent. Make what you will of the tabloid articles alleging that Jeremy Clarkson was cheating on his wife that started popping up not long afterwards...

An episode of Sailor Moon dealt with Yumemi Yumeno, a talented artist who felt she was too plain to be taken seriously as a romance painter. While she doesn't stay permanently indoors, she paints fake portraits of herself (depicting 'self as a beautiful and royal-looking woman) and stays in the background during her own exhibitions. After she's targeted by Zoicite, forcibly turned into the youma she was in her former life, and rescued by the Senshi, Yumemi decides to stop hiding and in her new exhibition, she includes a picture of her actual meganekko self.

Homestar Runner creators The Brothers Chaps, were quite open with their fanbase, making public appearances and even featuring their children in some shorts, but in 2009 they started to appear less and less, which has been attributed to the birth of Matt's second daughter and work burnout (having produced content nearly every week from 2002 to late 2009.) In 2014, they broke the silence and confirmed the return of Homestar Runner, even saying they hadn't planned on the hiatus being so long. Even with that, they're only open about themselves and the content they provide and keep nearly everything else private.

Zarcone, the mysterious artist who drew the first issue of Diabolik. As Zarcone is a pen name (as was the norm at the time in Italy), nobody knows his real name, he disappeared soon after being paid for the job, the private detective hired by Diabolik's creators failed to track him down, and the readers didn't even know he existed for thirty years (most had read the first reprint, where the story had been redrawn by Luigi Marchesi, and the original edition only credited the cover artist Brenno Fiumali).

We know they like Frozen enough to keep producing content for this amount of time. And... that's about it. We haven't even confirmed that they're only one person. In 2017, a writer for New York magazine managed to track them down to ask them about allegations that they were putting vore fetish content into the edits, the writer said that the person running the blog is from South Korea and is not into vore...and that's about it.

Akira Kitamura, the creator of Mega Man, seems to prefer being out of the spotlight in relation to his famous creation. He only directed the first two games in the series, but left Capcom shortly after the second game was finished and eventually left the video game industry altogether after trying to strike out on his own for a bit. Since then, he has only given a few interviews.
