    I Can't Get Excited for a Child, Ritsuka

    MP: An Online Feminist Journal Fall 2010: Vol.3, Issue 2 “I Can’t Get Excited for a Child, Ritsuka”: Intersections of Gender, Identity, and Audience Ambiguity in Yun Kôga’s Loveless By T.A. Noonan In December 2007, ICv2, a leading consulting firm and information source on North American pop-culture commodities, held its first conference on Japanese anime (animation) and manga (comics) in domestic markets (“ICv2 Conference”). The conference’s subtitle, “Inside the Otaku Generation,” underscores a distinct change in the language and visibility of Japanese pop-culture fandom, one that has been underway for several years. The word otaku, an honorific originally used to refer to someone else’s house or family, became associated with a distinctly unsavory brand of fan in the 1980s, due largely to “The Otaku Murderer,” a high-profile Japanese serial killer whose home was, according to media reports, overflowing with comics and videos. As demonstrated by ICv2, however, it has been reclaimed and (mostly) stripped of its negative connotations.1 It wasn’t long ago when North American otaku had to go to extraordinary lengths to obtain the materials of their obsession. Distant conventions, nth-generation bootlegs, and overseas shipping were part of Japanese pop-culture fandom. Simply put, otaku had to work hard at being otaku—which is exactly what made them the kind of unsavory fans the term otaku once referred to. Now such fans need only look as far as their local Best Buy or online Barnes & Noble. The explosive success of imports such as Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, Naruto, and Bleach2 has opened a veritable floodgate of Japanese pop-culture materials, and buyers have eagerly snatched them up.

    1 PREVIOUSLY AT KAMI-CON KAMI-CON CHARACTERS PREVIOUSLY AT KAMI-CON... Shio and Kosho, with the help of YOU the congoers, defeated the alien forces and grounded Shoyu on planet Vidya—a world where the physics, landmarks, and inhabitants have developed into something remarkably similar to the video games we are familiar with here on Earth. However, it seems that Shoyu would not be defeated so easily. After crash landing on Vidya, he began to court the local inhabitants of the planet to join him and fight for his cause! With the planet he was supposed to be trapped on becoming a new source of power, it was up to you Kami-Congoers once again to rise to the occasion and help Shio and Kosho stop Shoyu! (This seems to happen a lot. Who would have known that having the Spirit of the Yandere Black Turtle for a magical animal mascot would have brought so much drama to Kami-Con? Oh, well!) With the help of the congoers, Shoyu only managed to recruit three powerful allies— Ken from Street Fighter, Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros., and Link from The Legend of Zelda. Shio and Kosho recruited Ryu from Street Fighter, and Vault Boy from Fallout. These heroes met on the battlefield known asSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate! It was truly an epic match—and in the end, it was Shio and Kosho who proved victorious! His coup having been thwarted, Shoyu agreed to team back up with the congirls to continue their journey through space toward World Conquest! Everything should be fine now as long as they don’t all, say, crash their starship into a mysterious beach planet… right?
