A teenager standing up for his right to play hours of video games has launched a crowdfunding campaign for a lawsuit to challenge guidelines in Shikoku that limit children's gaming time. The 17-year-old, who asked to be identified only by his first name Wataru, has enlisted the support of his mother and a lawyer for the first-of-its-kind ordinance, which was issued by Kagawa Prefecture. The ordinance calls for children to be limited to an hour a day of gaming during the week, and 90 minutes during school holidays. It also suggests that children 12 to 15 not be allowed to use smartphones later than 9 p.m., with the deadline pushed back to 10 p.m. for those between 15 and 18. But while the rules are just guidelines with no enforcement mechanism, Wataru said he was inspired to challenge them on principle. "How long children are allowed to play games or use a smartphone should be rules set by each family, not by the government," he said.
