.
In celebration of valuable Member 3nuts finally pinning down the identity of the evasive Mr. Dignified on the "The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Tubby! (And: Film ID)" thread, here is a Google-translated-from-a-Vietnamese-article spotlighting the familiar JAV actor.

Harrowing Tales of Porn Stars 3

Masahiro Tabuchi got interviewed by a communications channel in Taiwan.

During the conversation, 46-year-old actor says he began to craft from 1990 to present. 25 years, he was lining up "veteran" as still cling to the profession. Currently, the number of hot movies he has played nearly 10 thousand movies - a very startling numbers.

Masahiro Tabuchi said prior to this job he worked at the bank. However, a major turning point came with him. During filming a movie AV Test and received good feedback, you can see the passion and start to change.

"With any profession, labor is glorious. I believe so. But with the hot film, I never really proud of but it is still my passion. I used to be embarrassed when her 5-year-old daughter asked her work. I can only say to the father go to work to make money. "

(NOTE: That's not Masahiro "Mr. Dignified" Tabuchi, you knuckleheaded Vietnamese editors..! That's "The Square," or Masakazu Oshino, 忍野雅.)

"This job is very harsh and often the girl hardly withstand long. Quite a lot of my colleagues did not have a happy life. AV actor must have severed ties when the father daughters married. There she committed suicide when her father said each hot film ... The story that I've seen so many and so heartbreaking, "- he said.

Masahiro Tabuchi more after his most painful thing is not dare go near his daughter and wife.

"I do not want my daughter and wife discriminated against. Although this is a job in Japan but everything is not that simple. "

Masahiro Tabuchi is hot actor of the Japanese film series. He was born in 1967 and started "on the job" since January 1990. So far, he has played in the 7000 movie level 3.

The shots of Mr. Dignified accompanying this article (with one exception, where the shot wasn't even of Mr. Dignified) are of him at a younger age, and he looked like a different guy to me. He actually looked kind of "hot" when he was more of a spring chicken. (The March 2014 article, which may be accessed at this source and this source, in case the above linked photographs disappear one day) claims he is only 46..? I don't know if I would be quick to buy that. (And here I thought Japanese folks generally aged well.)

A more familiar-looking Mr. Dignified

At the beginning of the article, we are told he has appeared in nearly 10,000 movies, and by article's end, the figure dropped down to 7,000. (Although perhaps there is a distinction regarding the 7,000 being "level 3" movies - whatever that may mean,)

So he worked at a bank before turning to sin... somehow that fits, with good old Mr. Dignified.

Looks like the porn life has not come without a price for him and his family. Appears a fellow actor's daughter committed ... suicide - ! - when she couldn't deal with daddy being in porn? (Hard to make clear from the translation.) It also appears Mr. Dignified has broken ties with his wife and daughter.

Loved the article but the translation, as usual, really hurt the commentary. Not your fault but apparently even you had a hard time following the commentary. Still....very interesting. His work ethic is impressive. How cannot any offspring fail to be proud of someone who has perfected their craft to such an extant? Approval and respect need not go hand in hand.

There is another horrific translation here:

However I did find an excellent translation here:

In an interview appearing in Weekly Playboy in December of last year, Japan’s most prolific adult video (AV) star, Taka Kato, indicated that the nature of the business makes it difficult to have a wife or girlfriend.

Kato, who retired last year, is not alone. According to weekly tabloid Shukan Post (Feb. 28), many male porn stars face difficulties in family matters.

“I have a daughter who is five years old,” says 46-year-old actor Masahiro Tabuchi, “Before I got married my wife knew that I am an AV actor. But I have not told my daughter.”

His daughter is in kindergarten, and she will sometimes ask what he does for a living.

“By talking to people, I can earn an income,” he will say at those times.

Such an evasion of the truth, however, is not for his personal benefit.

“I work as an AV actor because I like it,” says Tabuchi. “If people want to talk about me behind my back that is fine. But I could not bear for my daughter to be exposed to such a situation.”

As is to be expected, society holds prejudice against those employed in the AV trade.

“There was one actor whose daughter was on the verge of getting married,” says a veteran AV writer. “That was the end of their relationship.”

Shukan Post describes another actor who had a daughter in high school. Once she learned of his occupation, she became something of a delinquent, and he lost contact with her for a number of years.

“There are a lot of cases of bullying of the children of male and female stars,” says the same writer, “and some of them end in suicide.”

Tabuchi is concerned about what may happen if his daughter’s friends or the acquaintances of his wife learn that he performs in porn.

“I do what I can to keep clear of the friends of my daughter and wife,” he says. “For school athletic meets, I am always sure to wear sunglasses and a cap.”

Shukan Post wonders what the appeal of the job could be.

“To be honest, the feeling of having sex for work and in private the good feeling is about the same,” says Tabuchi, who has been working in the trade for 25 years, “and I get paid.”

But the actor would like to make one thing clear.

“Sex for AV is just about the pleasures of the flesh,” he says. “It doesn’t satisfy what is inside.”

As to his wife, the relationship goes much deeper.

“We are making every effort to understand each other’s heart,” he says.

Thank you very much, Ceewan; you cleared a lot up, thus performing a great service to the readers of this thread.

We can see now that some porn actor's daughter thankfully did not hara-kiri herself (although there is a general claim that the children of some porn actors have indeed committed suicide), nor has Mr. Dignified broken ties with his wife and daughter, the latter being only five-years-old. (What kind of a ridiculous translation from the original article did that Vietnamese report offer? Certain details were omitted... and some, particularly the 7,000 or 10,000 film appearances, or his having worked at a bank, were added.)

I can also see, with some embarrassment, that I have posted the same article (or what I am guessing was a derivative of the article) already. (In this forum, the thread called "Three: 1. Hard Life for Porn Stars 2. New Porn Star Union 3. Two 2014 Award Winners" ... no wonder some of the claims sounded familiar.) That article began with talk of Taka Kato (I remember I sought out a picture for him, to dress up the post)... and Mr. Dignified's real-life name (which followed) meant nothing to me, at the time. (The name equally won't ring any bells for me a week from now, actually, if not tomorrow.)
