Viewers have confirmed that his marathon endurance stream cut off partway through, and that his YouTube channel name was also changed.

Apparently he's bracing himself for "various investigations"

Lmao, for real
What was that whole livestream even for
5AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:20
Gotta give him credit for that much
If he does refunds too, his novelty fame should even things out
8AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:21
Now that the stream's over, the only interesting follow-up left is… an arrest?
12AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:21
Ikr, lol
Even his YouTube channel name changed lol

"I think various issues are going to come up because of my own ignorance."

Apparently that's what he actually said
Since he's blaming it on "ignorance," he's off the hook, I guess

Meanwhile he kept saying medicine isn't absolute and that he was right because he'd kept researching it himself
19AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:21
Like a "ugh… I've had enough of this…" kind of vibe?
21AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:22
He really should've just never done the livestream thing
23AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:22
Apparently he's now planning to livestream for another week straight, this time claiming 6 hours of sleep

Re: #23
Even I could pull that off, easy 😳
24AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:23
Feels like one of those old folktales where the con man finally gets his comeuppance
28AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:23
What exactly do these "various investigations" even mean…
103AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:55
He probably raked in a ton of cash from this, so he'd be smarter to issue refunds and come out the other side as a clean, likable public figure
108AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:57
Re: #103
It's way too late for that now…
113AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:01
He probably already made enough that he doesn't need to livestream for a living anymore, right? Short stream or long stream, he honestly doesn't care either way at this point
118AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:03
Re: #113
That bar for "never having to work again" sounds way too low
117AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:03
Was there even any real résumé fraud to begin with?
Some people dig deep when they investigate this stuff
Feels like he tried to smoke-screen the whole thing with the dick jokes
126AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:07
Re: #117
Studio musician, instrument maker, oil painter, industrial plant designer
Which one of these is even true

Background and Key Points of This Story

Daisuke Hori is said to have built his livestreaming career around the claim that he sleeps just 30 minutes a day, drawing viewer support along the way. Now that the phrase has disappeared from his profile, doubts about its truthfulness have grown louder on 5ch. Some posters point to possible résumé fraud and call for refunds, while the stream itself has ended and the channel name has reportedly been changed, with no explanation from Hori himself so far. Claims like a self-reported sleep schedule are hard for outsiders to verify, and once such claims become the basis for monetized livestreams, checking their accuracy tends to get pushed to the back burner. For now, there’s no way to know where fact ends and performance began short of an explanation from Hori himself, so a firm judgment should be withheld.
