Otaku Collectors

Danny Choo, born in London in 1972, is one of the most famous and beloved international otaku personalities. He builds websites for a living, including his successful portal site DannyChoo.com, and combines his love of Tokyo, photography and character goods to open a window onto the world of Japanese otaku. In 2009, he solicited contributions from users of his website to compile a photo book about international otaku rooms. This was the first of the Otacool series, which combines “otaku” and “cool” and hopes to change lingering negative perceptions of the culture.
