Otaku Calendar is created by the team behind Otaku News. It's intended to track all those events and release dates that'll interest fans of Japanese culture, anime and manga.

We're always looking for contributors, so if you'd like to help us keep our event listings and release dates up to date, then please get in touch.

Our mascot was designed and drawn by the talented Hel Ewart. In the tradition of Japanese puns, we named her Koyomi Date. She's a descendant of the Date Clan. We wanted a name that was Japanese, but also reflected her origins as a mascot for an otaku calendar. Just call her Yomi for short.
