≡December 15 is Otaku Day
December 15 is Otaku Day and celebrates otaku culture, especially the passion for anime, manga, video games, and other expressions of Japanese pop culture. The date is not official nor formally recognized by any organization, but was chosen by fans and otaku communities around the world to celebrate and promote this global subculture. The word "otaku" is of Japanese origin and refers to people with a great interest and dedication to specific hobbies, such as anime, manga, cosplay and video games. Although it originally had a pejorative tone in Japan, the term has come to be accepted and even adopted with pride in other countries, where fans identify themselves as "otakus" and share their enthusiasm for these cultural productions.
