GibsonsqueIt’s like something out of the SF novel Neuromancer.
PermalinkTakeshi Yamashita does not look like a homeless person.
From his carefully distressed jeans to his casual-cool navy striped T-shirt, he is every bit the trendy Tokyoite.
Yet the 26-year-old has been sleeping in a reclining seat in an Internet cafe every night for the past month since he lost his steady office job and his apartment.
It’s cheaper than a hotel, offers access to the Internet and hundreds of Manga comic books, and even has a microwave and a shower where he can wash in the morning before heading off to one of his temporary jobs ranging from cleaning to basic office work.
Asked how long he plans to go on living like that, Yamashita smiles and shrugs.
“I hope the situation in Japan will improve. The new Japanese generation doesn’t have any money, and many young people don’t have any motivation. I don’t have money, but I have a dream,” he says, sitting in a cubicle with a PC and a stack of comic books.
So what is his dream?
“I don’t know. Maybe some ordinary job in an office.”

Japanese Spiderman
For those who haven’t seen it, these are the credits for a 1978 TV show for kids in Japan. I kinda like the theme song.
