En Japón se ha incrementado el uso de muñecas de tamaño real como acompañantes sentimentales por parte de miles de personas que enfrentan aislamiento social, presión laboral extrema y dificultades para establecer vínculos afectivos reales.
Estas figuras, que pueden pesar hasta 40 kilogramos, son utilizadas como sustitutos de pareja en hogares donde la interacción humana se ha reducido al mínimo. Especialistas señalan que este fenómeno no debe entenderse únicamente como una excentricidad cultural, sino como un síntoma profundo de crisis emocional, desapego social y colapso de la comunicación interpersonal.
La situación genera inquietud a nivel internacional, ya que fenómenos similares comienzan a observarse en otras regiones del mundo, donde la dependencia tecnológica, el deterioro de las relaciones humanas y la soledad urbana crecen de forma acelerada.
En el contexto latinoamericano, incluido México, expertos advierten que el aumento de la soledad, el uso excesivo de dispositivos y la fugacidad de las relaciones pueden generar escenarios sociales similares en el futuro cercano.

Senji Nakajima, 61 years old, lives with his life-size ‘love doll’ named ‘Saori’ in his apartment in Tokyo, Japan. Nakajima, married with two children, who lives away from home for work, first started his life with Saori six years ago. At first, he used to imagine as if the doll was his first girl friend, and used it only for sexual purposes to fill the loneliness, but months later, he started to find Saori actually has an original personality. “She never betrays, not after only money. I’m tired of modern rational humans. They are heartless,” Nakajima says, “for me, she is more than a doll. Not just a silicon rubber. She needs much help, but still is my perfect partner who shares precious moments with me and enriches my life.” (Photo by Taro Karibe/Getty Images)NAGANO, JAPAN – JUNE 4: Senji Nakajima takes a walk with his Love Doll “Saori” at lake Suwa on June 4, 2016 in Nagano, Japan.
