Filthy Rich Otaku Fails Physical? No way!

Monday 21 August 2006 @ 11:04 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 1 Comment

tsuyoshi_tux.jpgSeems like we wont be seeing cosplay in space any time soon! Daisuke Enomoto, the would-be space tourist who wanted to cosplay as a Gundam character, failed his physical exam. Imagine that, a full fledged otaku isn’t physically proficient! Previous space tourists have failed their first physical so there is still hope to see cosplay in space. Actually, as long as a furry doesn’t get to go first everything’s right with the universe.

Does anyone know what Enomoto does for a living? What does an otaku have to do to afford a trip to space? I want in!
