Mikami's father kicked him out of bed and told him to go outside, in his pajamas with no shoes on, and stand in front of the car. Despite living a relatively normal life in the Yamaguchi Prefecture of Honshū island, Mikami admitted to being quite afraid of his father, whom he described as a "violent person".Īpart from being hit almost daily, Mikami recalls surviving an ordeal in which he attempted to go to bed one night without doing his homework.
