What type of otaku are you? You can choose more than one option. The types of otaku are explained by Shoko-tan in this 2 part video series.
Anime ota. The largest otaku sub-type. These people like to watch and collect japanese anime.
Manga ota. These are people who read and collect manga (Japanese comic), some of Manga otaku also write/draw their own Manga.

Cosplay ota. Person who dresses like character in anime/game. Cosplay begun in the year of 1976 when a participant in comiket dresed as Umi no triton. in 1990s cosplay exploded and became huge things thanks to the anime culture (Evangelion mainly) in Japan. Nowadays, the practice of cosplay in one’s own home and taking photo of yourself have become prevalent.

There are two types of them, first one is the people who collect expensive figure or resins, and the second one is gachapon/gashapon collector (gachapon is small trading figurines with random content, where in japan you can buy it from machine).
