What about the relationship between gaming addiction and sudden death?: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/26/AR2006052601960.html There seems to be a relationship, even though no "work" is involved...
[edit] Karōshi or Karoshi?
The article seems to use both "karōshi" and "karoshi" interchangeably. Is there any reason for that? Andrewski 20:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Korea
The article mentions "Korea" a few times. Is this North Korea or South Korea or both? That should be mentioned, since they are separate countries.
I have added an explanation about why the operating system uses the name karoshi, is this good enough?

[edit] Karoshi and seppuku???
"This term has special significance in Japanese culture due to historical traditions of seppuku." What is the "special significance"? I'm a Japanese, but I can't get the point.
Yes I agree it doesnt make sense
Perhaps it has more to do with the concept of giri, or personal duty - if an employee were to give less than his absolute utmost, the company might fail or experience setback. They would therefore lose face, all because of a single worker. Viewer 22:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
