In the Japanese modern society the people feel a strong concern in communication and the emergence of Internet and its extension significantly influences the transfiguration of communication. The social phenomenon notably known at this moment as OTAKU was introduced as a typical case of "communication-deficiency syndrome" in the work written by Azusa Nakajima in 1991. However, unlike what Nakajima says, those who are considered as Otaku are very active in their communication through sharing common field of hobbies. Here through exploring some cases such as Garage-Kit, Comics, Coterie magazines and Costume play, I will show how the Internet enables the people to create new forms of communication.
