Hikikomori

While many people feel the pressure of the outside world, and may feel uncomfortable in public (or "social anxiety"), a hikikomori reacts by complete social withdrawal to avoid all outside pressure. In some cases, they may lock themselves into their bedroom or another room of their parent's house for prolonged periods of time, sometimes measured in years. They usually have few, or no friends. A hikikomori's days are characterized by long spells of sleeping, while their nighttime hours are often spent watching TV, extensively playing computer games, surfing the Internet, reading, trading the stock, Forex and other derivatives markets (i.e. stock future indices) or other non-social activities. One of the most prominent cases of a hikikomori who lived in his parents home is the Japanese individual who traded the JASDAQ Securities Exchange with 1.6 million yen (apr. US$14,000) as capital, whose alias is B.N.F (J-Com man)[6]. Starting in 2000, Takashi Kotegawa (Japanese: 小手川 隆) managed to exponentially grow his account 10,000 fold in 7 years up to 17 billion yen (apr. US$152 million). [7] He first gained fame on the Japanese mass media when he managed to profit 2 billion yen (apr. US$20 million) in a window of 10 minutes on 8 December 2005 from a Mizuho Securities order misplacement blunder.[8] Although rare, ironically some of the adult-onset hikikomori people have succeeded in becoming extremely wealthy and in achieving financial freedom, in contrast to their more conformist salaryman counterparts.
