Document Summary
Keisuke appeared to be a normal mentally healthy teenage japanese boy. Then one day he went into the family kitchen, close the door behind them, and did something rather unusual. 3 years later he still had not left the kitchen, nor during that time that he allowed anyone else end. His mother left meals for him at the door 3 times a day, and he made use of the toilet that was adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen was filled with garbage because he hadn"t taking any out since he first moved in there. At first his family cooked on a makeshift stove and ordered a lot of takeout food, but once they realize he was not going to be living they ended up building another kitchen in the house. It is possible that he is still living alone in that kitchen today.
