  I am not going to bore you with the details. There is always the wikipedia. Anyway just take note that the term "Otaku" is very loosely used among the Americans here. The people here confuse the word "Otaku" as "Guru" or "Expert" and the noobs here actually feel honored when they are called Otakus. ~__~
  
  Fact of the matter is, in Japanese society, Otaku is a deragoratory term which is closely related to "nerd".
