Danny Choo


Danny Choo resides in Tokyo and writes about life in Japan and subculture which includes anime, figurines, dolls, cosplay, games and everything else that comes under the genre. dannychoo.com is regularly featured in web, print and broadcast media such as CNN, BBC and G4TV.
Danny is regularly invited to speak at conferences around the world on the subject of his specialty which is Japanese subculture (Otaku) and Consumer Generated Media.
Originally from the UK, Danny has been working in the Japanese Internet since 1999. In his career, Danny served as Computer Engineer at Japan Airlines, Website Manager on the management team at Amazon Japan and as CGM Product Manager at Microsoft for Live.com. He now currently runs an Internet strategy firm in the heart of Tokyo called Mirai Inc.
Danny documents his corporate years in the Working at Amazon and Microsoft photo article.
You can read more about why he decided to learn Japanese and how it changed his life.
Danny also writes motivational articles where he shares his life experiences with his readers.
Danny's spoken languages are English, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and his written languages are PHP, MYSQL, JavaScript and CSS.
The above is written in third person so that I can copy paste it for the media folks who regularly ask for it ^^;
As CEO of Mirai Inc, I work with manufacturers and service providers to bring them closer to the consumer/end user.
Previous/current clients/collaborations include Google, Disney Online Japan, NHK, Mozilla Japan, Columbia Japan, Good Smile Company, Bandai and Kotobukiya.
Through my experience of building scalable websites at Amazon and my knowledge of Consumer Generated Media from working at Microsoft and running dannychoo.com, my company created a web platform called Mirai Gaia which not only enables clients to easily manage and sell their products and services, but to also manage a community of users who generate content.
A cool web solution is not much use when there isn't anybody around to use it. Mirai Inc not only provides the web platform but also the marketing and know how needed to build a flourishing online community and a lucrative monetization strategy.

I get quite a bit of spam that gets through the filters and another 1653 mails a day asking me everything from "can you buy me x" to "could you translate this for me."
I would love to answer all mails but if I did so then all I would be doing is answering mails all my life - and life is too short too do that. Please don't hate me if I cant reply ;-)
I tend to skip the long mails due to lack of time - short mails are usually read. If you don't get an answer, please resend mail again after 2 weeks. If I manage to make a clone of myself I promise to read and reply to all mails ;-)
Please contact me through my FaceBook.
Folks who are interested may want to hook up on the following communities which I participate in - feel free to add or follow.
- Twitter - you can also message me through Twitter.
- YouTube - my Tokyo Dance Trooper videos go here too.
- FaceBook - unfortunately I've hit my 5000 friend ceiling and cant add more until Facebook decide to lift the limit.
- Linkedin - my Linked in account.
- Flickr - I upload photos to my Flickr account nearly every day.

My desk at our offices. You can see the rest of the office in the Jobs in Tokyo. Was inspired by something or other to get dannychoo.com members to post photos of their bedroom which lead to a collaboration with figure manufacturer Kotobukiya and the publishing of a book called Otacool.

I take photos of life in Japan and use the following equipment to do so - Canon Kiss2, Nikon D5000, Lumix LX3 and the Sony Webbie MHS-CM1. You may want to follow my photo stream at Flickr.
My photos also lead to me being in a commercial for Nikon.

The Tokyo Figure Show was the first figure show that I organized which took place in August 2009 in collaboration with Good Smile Company. Will be hosting more Tokyo Figure Shows in the future.
I also organize a monthly event called Tokyo CGM Night which is an event dedicated to folks who truly understand and excel in CGM - the result being millions of unique users and page views per month.
Folks from companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Disney, Sony Japan, Nike, Sun attend Tokyo CGM Night.
Poken was officially launched at Tokyo CGM Night and is now becoming a cant-live-without gadget within the social networking sphere in Japan.
Tokyo CGM Night is hosted together with Social Network Specialist Andrew Shuttleworth.

You may have guessed by now but I is being liking figurines. They are not just representations of anime or game characters but also works of art. See more reviews and event coverage in the Figures category.

At the end of 2008, I started to acquire a brand of dolls called Dollfie. Many Japanese folks call them "daughters."
You can see more of my daughters in the Dollfie category.

Currently have 2 site masots with another one on the way. Illustration is done by manga artist Azami Yuko.
You can read more about them in the Mirai Suenaga post.

And my Mirai-chan gets made into a figure by the leading figure manufacturer Good Smile Company/Max Factory. More details in the Tokyo Figure Show Report.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

I wonder why no one has yet commented on your profile since you updated DC ... Is it banned? ^_^".
You can say: A Successful Life? I think it does! =)
Guess you've made a life of constant effort, but we see major results!
is so long that I will follow you Danny, I wanted to tell you that I admire you, but I've never understood trying to contact you.
This time I will not be unnoticed if I are really the first comment ^_^".
I also hope that I could comment, and that I did not wrong to write in English, I have many difficulties in this language and I would not be misunderstood.

At my age networking is a huge part of life (lol school) yet i'm still not all that trendy yet, having huge networks. Of course, what is a network if people don't know who you are? So this post of the renewed Danny Choo profile, has inspired me to start one up, to list down all the things i've done so far. Thanks Danny.
But of course at my current stage of life, nothing much can really be read in terms of jobs. Although it's always good to start early. ^^
Looking through the profile, it really reminds me of what you've gone through to reach your current position in internet stardom. Persistant effort through all stages of life and always having a positive outlook. You are a very positive role model to me.
Thank you for providing a space where people who adore otaku culture can gather and share information and thank you for sharing what putting in effort can yield. (I probably went a bit too far, but atleast I got out what I wanted to convey)
Keep up the great work!

Hmmmm, i do agree about the linking your profile to your comments thing so that some new encounters might happen when the right party are intersted, but what if the profile is just not that interesting enough?? Like maybe for example i do a boring deskjob from 9 to 5 or i'm curently a NEET and stuff like that.... wouldn't that be a negative point??. not everone has a "great" job and stuff like that.
oh well, it's sounds really negative coming from me but if i don't try i wouldn't know right??
I guess i'll go put up a profile page in my blog and see what happens. >.<

Wow Danny, that's one epic "About" page!
Most people I read usually split it into several pages, an "About" and then a "Resume". The "About" containing the personal stuff, and the abridged version of the resume, and the resume having everything else.
I guess it works if those who read it are serious; seeing as this way they'll only read one page, as we all lose people through click-throughs.
Epic stuff.

I never bothered with creating a good 'about me' or profile page because I thought I just didn't have anything worth putting. But, I realized that if you don't put anything that's worse than putting a few things, even if they are small. Which is way i'm going to start taking it serious and working hard from now on. Once again Danny, you have inspired to continue working and move forward, thanks. P.S: The html thing in the intro was something I thought it will go nice with my comment since I want to be a web designer and i'm currently learning on my own ^^

You`ve had and have an amazing life Mr.Choo!After reading most all of your site back in june 09 you inspired me to visit japan to see if some of the stories were true.And they are,the city`s are clean I did`nt see any potholes in the streets.The people are kind and go out of their way to please you!I Only saw 3 homeless people in tokyo!
Had some weird food choices,canned grapes,8 slice loafs of bread, cow-piss water.Was accually good,dries out your mouth like coke does.
Got pics of the weirdest low-rider 2 seater scooter that I`ve ever seen,reminds me,do an article on japanese cars and motorcycles,there are vehicles that I`ve never seen before which are quite good to look at!
Read something about the police overthere harrassing anyone wearing a camoflage backpack,I happen to have one.In the 6 days that I was there I got searched 3 times,not including the airport security people.
You really need to do a article on how funny it is to watch people trying to sleep upright on the morning/evening trains!Laughed my butt-off at so many trying to fight gravity whenever the train would turn or squeeze the breaks to fast!
Rode on a bus in kyoto that I swear had 50 people on it!I could not for the life of me stop from laughing!We were so squished together that I could`nt move,whenever the bus turned I was expecting it to fall over,instead there was a collective wwwwooooaaa!Followed by laughter!
I got to see the life size gundam!30 years they`ll have one walking!Went to the cyberdyne studios thingy but they only had the legs of the suit that day I was disappointed.Laughed when I saw the Terminator statue inside,as Cyberdyne caused the end of the world in the movies.
Soon as they have a working 'red' or 'blue' suit ready I`m gonna get one!From the little movie that they show.
We were riding on the bullet train when a huge rain storm hit us,it broke our train as well as 3 other ones.I think it was on july 18-19,anyway they put us and 2 other trains worth of passengers on one train for the rest of the ride.It was on the evening news that day.
Sadly I only got to see akihabara for 40 minutes then I had to go catch my flight home!
Upset that in the temples in kyoto would`nt allow pictures taken inside the buildings,I know it has something to do with the camera flash fading the art.but still!Oh and I`m afraid to say that I went 12,000 miles to eat at mcdonalds,theres one 2miles from my home.You sure that the meat really is meat?Had a chicken sandwich that was 95 percent fat and grissel!
I would definitly go back for another visit,maybe in 2011.
