Otaku Patrick W. Galbraith on John'sコメディー英会話ショー

Otaku and Akihabara expert Patrick W. Galbraith wears his Goku uniform and filmed the next coupkle of shows for John's Comedy Eikaiwa Show.  I met Patrick in October when we worked on a show together for NHK WORLD.  He knew more about Akihabara than anyone I had ever met!  So, after our second show on NHK WORLD 's Tokyo Eye together, we decided to come together and film a few shows for you.  Of course, there is a lot of fun and exciting action!  We filmed the opening of the show on the streets of Akihabara.  Now, when two men are dressed up in wigs and costumes, they draw a lot of attention on a place like Akihabara.  Every couple of minutes, we had to stop and take photos with people who wanted to meet Patrick.  He really is a celebrity in this area.  When the wig and costume comes off, Patrick is just an ordinary guy like me.  He is getting his Ph.D at Today right now in information science and has written a book about the otaku cutlure called "The Otaku Encyclopedia" which is a great field guide to the Japanese sub-culture on anime, manga, and video games. 
Regarding the show: we will feature 4 key otaku words and explain them in English to our viewers. Using computer graphics and some humor, we hope that it will be educational and entertaining.  For more information on Patrick, check out his website at http://www.otaku2.com/ Check out his book, The Otaku Encyclopedia on amazon.co.jp >> here
