Niche Fame
November 14th, 2007 AstroNerdBoy Recently, I heard of the death of Steve Pearl, known as the “American Otaking.” He was apparently well known among anime fans, having been a fixture at the Okaton anime convention to say nothing of moderating the rec.arts.anime.info Newsgroup starting in 1993 until 2001 (a year before I became a fan).
