Otaku is a Japanese slang word. It refers to a fan or an individual who is specialized in a particular topic, theme or hobby such as anime otaku, manga otaku, pasokon otaku and many others.

Otaku best translates as "geek". Since the late 1970s, the Japanese word otaku(おたく/オタク) has gradually spread to become known the world over.
However, it could also refer to anime fans or manga fans. Otaku interests include computers as well as figurines, role-playing card games, video games, anime and manga.

When we say otaku culture today, though, the Akihabara district in Tokyo, Japan usually comes to mind.
This is the center of otaku culture that includes manga, anime, along with "mild cafes". Here are a couple of the most recent developments that have taken place in this district which continues to spread the otaku culture out into the rest of the world.
