See also the Japanese copyright law article 19 "the author shall have
the right to determine whether his true name or pseudonym should be
indicated or not, as the name of the author, on the original of his
work or when his work is offered to or made available to the public.
The author shall have the same right with respect to the indication of
his name when works derived form his work are offered to or made
available to the public"

coupled together with article 59 "Moral rights of the author shall be
exclusively personal to him and inalienable." Inalienable means they
can't be either sold or waived.": incapable of being alienated,
surrendered, or transferred "
