This article discusses the growing concern of missing persons cases in Japan, with over 6,000 people going missing in 2019 alone. The most common reasons for people going missing are mental health issues such as depression or anxiety, followed by financial distress and family disputes. The Japanese government has implemented several measures to reduce the number of people who go missing each year, while private organizations such as Missing Person's Network Japan are also helping to find those who have gone astray. With continued support from both governmental bodies and private organizations alike we can hope that this number will continue decreasing over time so that fewer families suffer due to losing their loved ones without any explanation or closure on their whereabouts.
