Otaku Code is intended for fans of anime and manga, commonly called otaku.

In 1993, Robert Hayden created something he called “Geek Code.” This was a way for geeks to “announce their geekhood.” Since then, many projects have spun off from Geek Code, including Moonie Code and DBZ Code. These were ways for people to show their love for particular anime series and characters. But when I saw this, I thought “This lets you talk about one series, but what about the whole range of anime and manga?” That’s when I started working on Otaku Code.
