An anonymous person usually referred to a novel, article, comic, or other work whose copyright owner did not disclose his name or identity or did not clearly indicate that he was the copyright owner of the work. This could be because the work was originally created by a team or individual, and the copyright did not clearly belong to a single person, so the copyright owner did not disclose his name or identity. Legally, anonymous was a form of copyright status, meaning that the copyright of the work had not yet been explicitly owned by anyone. In this case, the copyright of the work belonged to the creative team or the individual unless they publicly stated that they were the copyright owner of the work. Although anonymous people do not disclose their names or identities, they may be the copyright owners of a novel, article, manga, or other works, or they may not disclose this information for the time being. When reading novels and other works, we usually see the signature "anonymous", but this does not necessarily mean that the copyright owner of the work is anonymous.
