> 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.

Also, it's an apartment, not a house.

Also, not his apartment, his aunt's apartment.

Has anyone told this guy that it's really easy to cut your own hair? Especially if you don't need to impress anyone.

If you don't need to impress anyone, why cut it at all?

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 never used one again.

My coarse, gray hair was always wet morning, noon, and night. It was awful. That is the reason I get haircuts even if I'm not trying to impress anyone.

Doesn’t “NEET” mean “Not in education, employment, or training?”

He has a youtube channel, he wants to look presentable.

Because at some point you'll start tripping over it.
