I can't speak for the Japanese animation studios. In any case, we're speaking in generalisms here and, generally speaking, everyone in a team has a responsibility to do his or her best to help the project succeed.
Maybe it's just me, or the society I work in, but I am very leery of those who celebrate the individual over the team. And, in general, we can see that most creators know better than to crow about the success of any collaborative work as though it were the result of their individual contributions alone.
Creators who do are, in my opinion, a$$holes I wouldn't want to have anything to do with.
