ABSTRACT
The fifth chapter discusses the first sociological and anthropological approaches toward support, recounting investigations by Ogino Tatsushi, Kaneko Sachiko, Tuukka Toivonen and Aaron Miller. Next, my study of the support systems I investigated is detailed: nonprofit organizations (NPOs) related to local communities and Buddhist schools and an NPO of H. city. Evidence is given of my encounter with Mr. Yamamoto, former member of the national association of hikikomori's parents (KHJ zenkoku hikikomori oya no kai). Finally, another type of NPO is described, related to anti-capitalist movements: Newstart, NPO M., and their initiative of Japanese–Korean hikikomori university of the People. It concludes by showing the perspectives implicated by these systems for hikikomori and NEET youths.
