It does, he'd still borderline fit that definition. He raised an average one year's salary for a game after ten years of self training.
So he was in training for 10 years and now he's self employed.
Selling your own stuff is definitely self-employment though.

Also, it's an apartment, not a house. Also, not his apartment, his aunt's apartment. "Japanese Game Developer rarely leaves his aunt's apartment."
For those unaware, this is in the form of the old Radio Yerevan joke: Question to Radio Yerevan: Is it correct that Grigori Grigorievich Grigoriev won a luxury car at the All-Union Championship in Moscow? Answer: In principle, yes. But first of all it was not Grigori Grigorievich Grigoriev, but Vassili Vassilievich Vassiliev; second, it was not at the All-Union Championship in Moscow, but at a Collective Farm Sports…
> Per ITK, Nito only leaves his apartment to get a haircut and take out the trash, as well as any other activity that absolutely requires him to step outside of the comfort of his room. So actually: "Japanese Game Developer rarely leaves his house." I can see why they went with their own headline, though.
I’d say it still fits the NEET/hikkikomori definition.
hikkikomori are afraid of seeing other people, so they would not go to a barber.
It is a shame that the hikkomori is a trend and becoming popular with COVID.
Eh, I doubt many people become hikikomoris because it's trendy. In Japan, it's usually understood to be a reaction to social pressures, basically dropping out of all the various societal rat races (work, dating, "adulting") simultaneously.

Depends on how well the game sells, if it sells a million copies he's a strange millionaire who values his privacy. If it sells poorly, he's just a strange guy with an odd way of living. Edit : This game looks fucking hilarious , I might buy a copy. I can't really hate on someone at least trying to be productive Edit 2: Played the demo on Steam, what a masterpiece. It's a game about wanting to be left the fuck alone.…
It is a nice calm interview and video footage taken by him self on why he lives the way he does.
It got recommended to me after watching a video on the hikikomori phenomenon.
That’s a very nice aunt he’s got there.

When I first started my own consultancy, I grew my hair out. I never had long hair before and thought, "why not?" At the same time, our newly purchase house had a cockroach infestation (which the prior owners did not disclose). One morning I decided to blow-dry my hair. The dryer had a hard time starting. Then a chunk, chunk noise occurred. Finally, a stream of brown paste shot out from the dryer. I threw it away and…
A microfiber towel works pretty well to get the bulk of the water out of your hair (you basically squeeze your hair between the towel, like juicing a lemon), and then it can air-dry over the next hour or two just fine.
The technique is mostly to avoid damage and to avoid frizz, but it is also surprisingly faster than the "shake" method. Maybe with a microfiber towel like you said it's even better.
