No, I don't think so. I will freely admit to having no direct
knowledge, and will gladly give way to someone with better information,
but it is my understanding that checks are rare in Japan (and direct
deposit unknown) and most people who work for a salary do indeed get
paid in cash on payday as a matter of course.

That was a special case, Keiichi was working under the table to
get the money. Of course being an honest soul he paid the taxes
on it---- eventually. You can do that in America unless the IRS
finds out, then it's Jail time.
