The name: Denpa Shounen-teki Kenshou Seikatsu: Nasubi no Heya Based on a Japanese reality show where a guy, Nasubi (It means Eggplant) was locked up naked in a room for over a year. His only source of anything was sending postcards to magazine contests. If he won food, he would eat, if he won clothes he could wear them. Read up on the game

By now, many on the Internet have heard the of Nasubi (“eggplant” in Japanese), the Japanese comedian and unwitting game show participant on Denpa Shonen that endured nearly a year of total isolation and nudity during his time in utter isolation. But the real story is that they actually made a video game of it.

The eggplant, aubergine or brinjal (Solanum melongena) is a plant of the family Solanaceae (also known as the nightshades) and genus Solanum. It bears a fruit of the same name, commonly used as a vegetable in cooking. As a night-shade, it is closely related to the tomato and potato and is native to southern India and Sri Lanka. It is a short-lived perennial plant often cultivated as an annual. It grows 40 to 150 cm (16 to 57 in) tall, with large coarsely lobed leaves that are 10 to 20 cm (4-8 in) long and 5 to 10 cm (2-4 in) broad. The stem is often spiny. The flowers are white to purple, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens. The fruit is fleshy, less than 3 cm in diameter on wild plants, but much larger in cultivated forms. (Semi-)wild types can grow much larger, to 225 cm (7 ft) with large leaves over 30 cm (12 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) broad. The fruit contains numerous small, soft seeds which are edible.
