It’s said that the term “otaku” first came into use in the early 1980s. Recently, it has come to describe more than just anime fans, also describing fans of idols, etc. “Otaku” describes those who are crazy about anime, comics, games, etc., and have a culture that is somewhat closed off where they spend most of their time at home. It’s likely that those who are fans of anime have heard the term “otaku” at least once. To start, we’re going to introduce what kind of people otaku are, Japanese otaku culture and that sacred ground, Akihabara. This time, we’d like to talk about why otaku started to gather in Akihabara. The town is crowded with shops that sell anime and related products, as well as cafes with staff that wear maid outfits resembling those often featured in anime. That is Tokyo’s “Akihabara.”Īkihabara is treated as a “sacred ground” where otaku, those who are crazy about anime, games and cosplay (dressing up as one’s favorite character), gather.
Japanese animation, also known as “anime,” has fans all over the world, and there is one place where many anime fans say they want to visit at least once.
