Karoshi  Karoshi is another form of Japanese Suicide. This term literally means, "Death by Overwork", which is when you suddenly die (by an odd heart/brain/blood related death).

This phenomenon was noticed by the media in the late 1800's, after several high-ranking business execs. still in their prime years, simply died one day.

Tatsuo Inoue of Tokyo University says that strong [|communitarianism] in the workplace is the cause of Karoshi. Many Japanese workers are unable to work at their current rates (12 hours per day, including overtime, 6 or 7 days a week, all year) without suffering both physically and mentally.
