Hikikomori: Tokyo Plastic The story of "Hikikomori: Tokyo Plastic" is explained in large part in the title of the film. In real life Japan, a hikikomori is a person who has decided to drop out of society, often retreating into the dark confines of their apartment or bedroom, never stepping outside and shunning the light of day for years. The Japanese government estimates that there are over 6,000 hikikomori's living in Japan today, but some psychiatrists claim that there at least 1 million of them lurking within Japanese society As the Japanese news often reports, these hikikomori often become violent, obsessive, and begin acting on dark impulses that grow and fester as a result of their extreme seclusion. In "Hikikomori: Tokyo Plastic," Naomi, a young Japanese hacker born in Tokyo, but living in New York travels back to Japan for an experimental eye operation. Befriended by Izumi, an attractive, but seemingly harmless Tokyo Office Lady, Naomi and her new best friend take Tokyo by storm. Carefree, Naomi soon falls back into her illegal hacking ways honed back in New York. But once she tries her hacking hand in Tokyo, she is quickly swept up into a web of fear and crime as one determined hikikomori targets her and forces her into a dangerous course of action that could ultimately destroy her, her family, and the life of her new best friend. The film was written and directed by New York City filmmaker Adario Strange, and shot on location in Tokyo, Japan.
