■Reason for becoming otaku?　
I found Japanese anime and videos games quite appealing and were better than western cartoons and games, so I became obsessed about them. I want to find out more about Japanese otaku culture and experience the different genres out there.
■What are your thoughts on the latest otaku boom?
I think the Otaku boom is a positive thing. I feel that it has contributed to more interest from other foreigners to the subculture and I am happy that there has been an increase of moe anime which I like.

■What does being an otaku mean to you?
Many people often think of people who have a large collection of anime goods to be otaku, but to me, a real otaku isn't just about being a consumer. I believe that a real otaku is one that creates something themselves and contributes it back to the otaku community.
