Hokkyoku Nigo is part of a small subset in Japan with a fetish for wearing outfits called “zentai” — an abbreviation of “zenshintaitsu”, which means “full body suit” — who say they are seeking liberation by effacing the physical self.
I've seen people seriously suggest that we might react to a surveillance society by adopting something from Renaissance Venice:
To deal with the fact that you couldn't go anywhere without being seen, people wore cloaks and masks. When the guy you are trying to track is one of many who are 5'10" and wearing a black cloak and a Guy Fawkes mask you're going to lose track of him quite quickly even if he doesn't try to do anything funny.
