Hikikomori from Japan

[Federiko]

Hi, I am an Argentine journalist from the city of Necochea. We run a small newspaper but we're eager to work hard on that.

We're trying to contact any Japanese hikikomori or former hikikomori.

Privacy would be respected and the rules set by that person.

How can we contact or where a hikikomori?

You'll have a hard time finding hikikomori using English. Generally, Japanese with a high proficiency in English (i.e. using an English language forum) are pretty outgoing.

Good luck!
