Tokyo Otaku Mode, a social media firm focused on Japanese “otaku” culture, has raised a round of angel funding from a number of Silicon Valley and Japanese angels.
Chief executive Tomo Kamei started the company, which is dedicated to otaku: fans of anime, manga (comics), or video games. After 16 months, the company’s Facebook page has gained more than 5.7 million likes. Tokyo Otaku Mode is currently developing a new website for user-generated otaku content.
