Films like 'Otoko wa Tsurai yo' (It's Tough Being a Man) and 'Tsuribaka Nisshi,' dramas like 'Hanzawa Naoki,' 'Shitamachi Rocket,' and 'Watashi, Teiji de Kaerimasu' (I Will Not Work Overtime), and the 'Shima Kosaku' manga series have all depicted salarymen as a staple of Japanese pop culture. Recently, salaryman work styles have changed dramatically with work style reforms, telework, and side gig allowance. Skin tone modifiers can be applied.
