An otaku is a person passionate and dedicated to Japanese pop culture, especially anime and manga. Otakus are fervent fans of these entertainment mediums and often have a deep knowledge and a large collection of series, movies, comics, and other related products.
They may also participate in activities such as cosplay, attend conventions, and follow the latest developments in the industry.
Being an otaku not only involves enjoying anime and manga but also being part of a community where interests are shared, and discussions and events related to this culture are generated.
