The only logicial conclusion I can get from all the information presented this far is:

Akira was involved with the NEETS, and was responsible for storing and feeding them.

This raises some questions, why the NEETs? and why a shopping mall?

Based off of what others have said, it seems the NEETs are viewed negatively by Japan. So Akira, assuming he is more a savior figure, figures out a way to save them. So he stores them at the shopping mall, because the mall has a theater and a lot of space. This is important because the movie he purchased was for 80,000 which seems high for any movie really. So, then why not make it a special movie that is part of the brain wipe process. This seems an efficient way to brain wipe 20,000 people which have some psychological disorder. It appears then perhaps Akira was wiped with them. I think perhaps the clothes removing part was about removing any personally identifiable information on their person. So when the 20,000 NEETs freshly brain wiped are returned to society they no longer have the same fear they had before. Perhaps they were even transported elsehwere around the world like Akira was after this process to give them a new start on life, or perhaps save them from some force that is out for their harm.

Seems plausible right? And it somewhat explains why he may have been naked in the first episode.
