Between now and when he's 18, he'll change and many other things will too. Sad, but true.

I'll say this much for him, at least he has some kind of (semi-realistic) idea if what he wants to do with himself once he's finished schooling. I didn't figure out what I wanted to do until a few years ago, prior to that I was just kinda coasting.

Well obviously. For one, he'll probably lose all those ambitions about changing the face of the gaming world in one fell swoop
Ah, to be young again. And also a robot.

Yeah, Japanese developers will be even more irrelevant in five years.

Also, aren't most people on this board like 30-ish? (I just turned 20, for reference)
But anyway Adam, at least you know specifically what you want to do. Most young kids who wanna get into the video game industry only know things on a superficial level. They play Skyrim or whatever and think "woah this would be the sweetest job in the world!! I wanna design a game that has a super complex realistic battle system!!" At least you know about prototypes and the work process a bit.
When I was 13, I studied pixel art limitations and various console graphical information. It prepared me for being a qualified worker in this kind of thing. (Of course, back then GBA was current and sprites were still used in new games. That's why I learned 3d as well though, to keep up with the times. But learning about old consoles is still good) My point is to study your field while you're young, have an upper hand.

I would suggest getting into university (which itself is still 5 years away) studying whatever you enjoy the most and try to get a place on a year abroad scheme to Japan. Failing that, apply for a JET placement after graduation (if you could stomach teaching), which will allow you to learn/improve the language and give you hands-on experience of the country. You might hate it - more people come back than hang around; I studied Japanese at degree level and, to the best of my knowledge, only a handful of my classmates are currently living in Japan.
I wouldn't say that, but I would say that there's no point in making detailed life plans at 13.

Be an car mechanic.
JK, If you really want to reach your dreams, then you should make your journey now as you're young.

I fully know that perhaps i will change interests, but at this time in my life i'm trying to learn and get experience anyway perhaps i will become a video guy since at the moment i'm learning about different cables and learning a little in-dept (thinks wikipedia). Also i'm not the noob you may be led to believe i admit that i used to be a few years ago, but i have finally found at least an area which i have made progress on and continue to anyway, no way at all i want to be a explorer and music & coding isn't my thing even though i may have to learn a bit in the future.
