Otaku (おたく / オタク?) (oh-tah-kooh) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with great interests, particularly anime, manga or video games.
University of the Philippines hosted one of the most anticipated collegiate cosplay event in Cebu last February 05, 2011, The Otakufest IV.
On its 4th year of festivities it was all fun as everyone gathered to celebrate their love for anime, manga and video games. A lot of activities was in store for everybody from Cosplaying to a showcase of Jpop Culture. As your favorite character comes to life, it was a great avenue to admire all Cosplayers as they flaunt their costumes.
One of my favorite is Alphonse Elric.
