About

Shoji Morimoto shares his unique perspective on how we look at work, relationships and life, and how we often have trouble talking about the things most important to us with the people closest to us.

In June of 2018, thirty-five-year-old Shoji Morimoto posted on Twitter offering one simple service: he will do nothing, for a fee. Any and all requests were fair game-seeing you off when moving, sharing a soda with you, being present alongside you when submitting divorce papers, joining you at a baseball game-so long as it conformed to his one and only requirement that he "do nothing." Since then, Morimoto has been hired by over four thousand patrons across Japan and officially rebranded himself as “Rental Person.”

In this Japanese bestseller, “Rental Person's” clients are often desperate, their requests funny, poignant, mysterious and baffling, but never short of fascinating. For a person who follows a path that seems to run contrary to conventional success, why do so many find him so necessary?
