Also in Japan to the Christmas Eve and Valentine’s Day There is the well-known practice of “Dinner with Waifu”, in which individual otaku take their loved one to a restaurant.

Akihiko Konda is a man in his thirties who got married and paid nearly $ 20,000 Hatsune Miku, a very popular virtual idol girl in Japan. In an interview, the man said that he had been bullied by a work colleague in the past and that he had lost interest in women as a result. He therefore decided to marry his favorite anime character, Miku, despite the conflicting views of his family and some people close to him. Konda revealed that he received support not only from a few close friends, but mainly from the online community. For the Christmas dinner, Konda, in respect of this Japanese otaku use, booked a table in a well-known restaurant for two and advised the cook to bring his wife, Miku. The man apparently immortalized the pleasant evening with photos, which immediately circulated on the net.
