An alibi-ya (アリバイ屋, aribai ya) is a business in Japan that creates an identity viewed as socially respectable for peoples involved in occupations that may be viewed as shameful — typically identities for women involved in the sex industry. The fictitious identity is created to conceal the person's actual identity from her family and potential spouses.
