nowhere kid
HIKIKOMORI
One dictionary here gives 'nowhere kid' as
its equivalent in English.
HIKIKOMORI is a (young) person who secludes
him/herself from outside and stay home practically
all the time. Similar to NEET I think, but the point
is that they shut themselves from outside.
Are there any English equivalent for that?
Thank you.

Nowhere kid means nothing to me, perhaps it is a literal translation of a metaphor unknown in the west. Possibly nerd or geek but this has the meaning more of a kid obsessed with computers, they are not necessarily in seclusion!

Might be, if s/he has a history of starting fires and torturing animals...

If I called someone a 'nowhere kid', I'd be indicating that the kid meant nothing to me, had nothing to offer, was virtually non-existent to me, and perhaps to anyone else, too.
Maybe, I got that from the Beatles song: Nowhere Man
He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
