What happens when you cannot decide on one name ( VN voice actor)

[iamnoob]

For example, 

We have our role model Shimizu Ai also known as Axela or Cuppuccino or.... well see for yourself.

By the way why do these voice actors love to have aliases? 

 

[Deep Blue]

it seems to me that she really is into cars, I mean all of those are car names or maybe it's a joke?
Sometimes they use aliases because some of the works they do are...I mean do you really want to be related with a nukige vn or even eroge?

Preety much what Deep Blue wrote. A lot of japanese voice actors usually work under brands and it might be either their strict policy or the sole fact they don't want to be associated with 18+ industry; it's not like it could really impact their careers, since everyone knows they're working as VA's for eroge companies, but it's an expression of business courtesy. You simply don't talk about these things as a mainstream voice actor, neither mix those two worlds.

This is not something that only happens in Japan. Dan Green for example have gone under many different aliases. Like the people above me have said, people seem to be very uncomfortable about publicly announcing they are doing porn. Either that or they have contractual obligations they want to avoid, like an american voice actor wanting to do work outside the Screen Actor's Guild. I would assume obligations like that can be pretty common in Japan too.

As several people have stated, this is just so they don't have to associate their real names with different brands and it's especially prevalent when it comes to 18+ material because the actors don't want their professional history littered with pornography work most of the time since that can often limit your career choices.

Interesting. I looked up Shimizu. She's a voice actor AND pro wrestler. wot

I like how nearly all her alias names are of a car brand.

[Yuuko]

That happens when you voice the  girl. 

[Silvz]

it is funny, because everybody knows they're doing porn voice acting, it is only their names that are safe

I think Tiago has the most names that he goes by on these forums

Tiago sounds classy/sophisticated and lewd at the same time, that's Tiago
