About the Book

Rental Person Who Does Nothing: A Unique Journey Through Human Connection

What if doing nothing could be a job?


Shoji Morimoto, once criticized for his lack of initiative, turned that very trait into an unconventional career. With a single tweet, he launched his "Rent-a-Person Who Does Nothing" service—offering his presence, without expectations or obligations, for a fee of 10,000 yen (roughly £60).


From accompanying lonely clients to their favorite restaurants to silently witnessing a life-altering moment, Morimoto's work sheds light on the hidden struggles of modern society. His role isn’t to advise, judge, or entertain, but simply to be there—offering quiet companionship in a world where true connection often feels out of reach.


Through thousands of encounters, Morimoto reveals deeply personal stories:


  • A woman who wanted company while eating at a restaurant after her divorce.
  • A client who asked him to be there during a painful hospital procedure.
  • A visit to the site of a client’s past suicide attempt, simply to acknowledge the moment.


Insightful, poignant, and quietly profound, Rental Person Who Does Nothing explores the depths of human loneliness, the meaning of relationships, and how sometimes, the most valuable thing we can offer is our presence.
