Ōkina otomodachi
is a Japanese phrase that literally means “a big friend” or “an adult friend”.〔When this phrase is actually pronounced, the colloquial form is often used. The phrase is also used with the same meaning.〕 Japanese otaku use it to describe themselves as adult fans of an anime, a manga, or a TV show that is originally aimed at children.〔(Dōjin Lingo (同人用語の基礎知識) ) Retrieved on August 4, 2006.〕 Note that a parent who watches such a show with his or her children is not considered as an ''ōkina otomodachi''. An ''ōkina otomodachi'' is not a parent who buys anime DVDs for his or her children to watch.〔In most cases, an ''otaku'' is unmarried and not a parent.〕 ''Ōkina otomodachi'' are those who buy children’s anime for themselves. Also, if the work is obviously aimed at adults, a fan of it is not an ''ōkina otomodachi''. Hence ''ōkina otomodachi'' and ''otaku'' are different concepts.
==Connotation==
Many people in Japan, both otaku themselves and non-otaku, tend to think that it is allowed but not encouraged for one to be an ''ōkina otomodachi'', assuming that those works are for children, not for them. Adults who love children’s books such as ''Mary Poppins'' or ''Moomin'' are not usually considered as improper, but the same is not necessarily true for those who love anime or manga such as ''Mary Bell'' or ''The Star of Cottonland'', even though they are similarly well-acclaimed fantasies.
