Laburpena

The process of associating the concept of ‘otaku’ with the stereotyped image that Japanese society already had of that group or, in other words, the genesis of the current definition of the term, developed throughout the 1980s until it became popular at the end of the decade, thanks to the infamous “Miyazaki incident”. Two articles published in magazines dedicated to anime fans at the beginning of that decade are key to the understanding of this process. On the one hand, the definition of those young people who belonged to school culture clubs that Shirakawa Shōmei made in 1981 as part of a guide for new students; and on the other, the text that is recognized as the first to coin the term ‘otaku’ in association with an image similar to that offered by Shirakawa: the article published in two parts in the summer of 1983 by Nakamori Akio. This paper presents a so far unpublished translation into Spanish made directly from the original texts, as well as a brief review of their authors and an analysis of their relevance.Keywords: otaku; Nakamori Akio; Shirakawa Shōmei; conceptual history; manga; texts.
