Another notable genre for Glory Quest has been "elder porn", a fast-growing niche in Japanese pornography. As Glory Quest public relations representative Kayoko Iimura has said: "If we only make standard fare, we cannot beat other studios ... so we wanted to make something new. A relationship between wife and an old father-in-law has enough twist to create an atmosphere of mystery and captivate viewer's hearts."{{cite web|url=http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1815509,00.html|title=Japan's Booming Sex Niche: Elder Porn|publisher=Time|access-date=2008-11-04|last=Toyama|first=Michiko|date=June 17, 2008|archive-date=2008-11-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081104180859/http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1815509,00.html|url-status=dead}} Glory Quest's elder star is Shigeo Tokuda, born in 1934, who has "proved to be a goldmine for Glory Quest" with two "old man" series: Maniac Training of Lolitas (December 2004) and Forbidden Elderly Care (Forbidden Nursing) (August 2006).
