It is a psychological term used in Japan that generalises type of psychological syndromes where people becomes phobic to crowd or people.

Such social background led to invetion of a terminology such as TKS, which you hardly hear in Western countries, but is almost a general knowledge in Japan. TKS might be a good term to look up.

They apply different societal pressures based more on shame than on the guilt familiar with Western societal pressure, and sometimes experience more physical symptoms rather than emotional like the West does, but individuals do struggle with feeling anxious and uncomfortable in crowds.
