this word was [originally] used in japan to describe someone who enjoys anime and manga. the term later became derogatory when a japanese news station used it to describe a [serial killer] who had been a hermit and was obsessed with anime, manga, and doujn. When it crossed [the pacific] to America, otaku became a word popularly used to describe anime-con goers. the Japanese, who are always quick to pick up on American fads, soon used the phrase to describe a cool "geek chic" type of person, often found in the Akihabara district of Tokyo.
