About the Author
Born in 1958, Toshio Okada is a Japanese writer who specializes in pop culture. Calling himself "OtaKing"--short for "King of Otaku," or "King of the Geeks"--he's published more than 10 books, with such titles as Introduction to Otaku-ology and International Otaku University. He is the founder of Gainax Co., Ltd., serving as CEO from 1984 to 1992. Gainax is known as one of the most influential anime-producing companies in Japan, due in large part to the success of its award-winning magnum anime opus, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Okada has lectured on pop culture in universities and colleges around the world, including The University of Tokyo in 2002 and MIT in 2003.
Reviews
"The diet book of the Obama era... A valuable illustration of otaku-problem solving. The process of building these arguments is a fascinating exercise in otaku-think, erected with risk/reward, cost/benefit analyses." Ain't It Cool News
"If you're at all interested in losing weight, or controlling any part of your life, Sayonara, Mr. Fatty is indispensable. The book is warm and inviting, and treats you with reassurances and life stories from a man who is just like the rest of us." --Japanator
"The real results, when achieved, are so worth it. In his last chapter, Okada describes it as landing on the moon. When you lose a lot of weight, everything about you changes... If you can achieve this landing on the moon sensation using his methods, this book will be the best fifteen bucks you've ever spent."--Mania.com
