("Because Matt didn't get his way. Otaku is a Japanese word meaning unhealthily obsessed. In Japan, otaku are further sub-classed into being creepy crazy for either video games, anime, manga, or idol singers. In the U.S. it's been mostly associated with fans of anime and manga. We are told that using 'ko-' [as in Komatsu 小松] at the beginning of the word instead of 'o-' [尾] adds an additional connotation of small, but Matt is 5"10", which in Japan is lavishly vertical. So you see, it all makes sense")
