Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
Based on our outreach cases of hikikomori individuals, we examined the features of those who became hikikomori through the experiences of school non-attendance during elementary to high school. The result showed that those cases significantly withdrawn to hikikomori during high school or after the graduation. This result indicated the possibility to reduce the occurrence of hikikomori during their 10’s.
