  1. Are there any online chat services trying to target hikikomori? I've found that with people who are very introverted or depressed, they tend to find it easier to start talking to people through an online chat where they don't have to start out being face to face with the other person, but can exert some control over the interaction. So maybe if the mental health services had an online chat service and advertised it to let hikikomori know that they can reach out to get help without having to physically meet with a counselor, you could start treating their issues from there and then work towards getting them out of the house and start meeting with people.

  2. Yes, I think modern Japanese culture has accidentally creared hikikomori. There is a darker side to the culture with issues that do not get adressed properly, which make some people feel forced to retreat from society in general.
