Japanese personal pronouns are often omitted, and also replaced by some proper nouns, such as kinship terms, occupational terms.we call this phenomenon as "the concealment of personal pronouns". Many factors impact the use of personal pronouns, the first one is the restrictive effect of the modality, I investigated the restriction to the personal pronouns from the perspective of the speaker transitivity modality in this article, some modality in the sentence qualified person point, making the personal pronouns self-evident, so that the personal pronouns can be concealed. Secondly, the context play an important role on the use of personal pronouns,the personal pronouns can be concealed because of the zero anaphora. Any language can not be separated from the culture, in the cultural context, the personal pronoun is often replaced by the Japanese proper nouns because of the social and cultural backgrounds. I also explored the situations of the personal pronouns can not be hidden from a comparative perspective so that we can explore the concealment of personal pronouns overall.
