Detective agencies are sometimes used to find people who have become jouhatsu.[1] Sometimes, people can be found spending time at pachinko parlors and cheap hotel rooms, and other times, they can be found to have committed suicide.[2] San'ya, a skid row in Tokyo that previously housed thousands of day laborers, is reported to be a place of hiding for the jouhatsu.[2] Kamagasaki in Osaka is another neighborhood that it is possible to live without an ID and so is also favored.[2] These communities are Yakuza strongholds, since they have jobs that pay cash.[3][4] Many times, especially in the setting of Japan's strict privacy laws, the jouhatsu are unable to be found.[2][4] Most jouhatsu court cases are civil cases, and personal data is not easily accessed.[4] Police will not interfere unless there is a crime or accident.[4]
