Character design by "Okama-san"

In between the small computer shops and cafes in the heart of Akihabara lies a structure called "Denpa Building". After a short lived establishment selling mostly DVD's the place has now reopened with a new concept focusing on creating an all-round Akiba-Kei experience with a goal to include girl otaku (fujoushi) as well. For that reason the 3rd Floor, which is at the top, will host a female staff cosplaying as boyish characters, therefore actively serving fans of yaoi, comics of homo-erotic romance usually enjoyed by a young female audience. This particular theme is called "Dansou."

The second floor is a regular Maid/Cosplay Cafe. Some staff will be dressed in costumes designed by "Okama-san" one of the the character designer for the Evangelion 1.01 Theatrical feature released last year. Also through a smart tie up move music should be provided by "Monaka" the Audio production team responsible for the music in many famous anime like Haruhi or Lucky☆Star.

The first floor will serve as an event space, leaving a place for idol concerts or photo shootings with included Bar. The staff is planning for various other tie ups with local maid cafes and even hopes to create a regular talk event where game creators, musicians or otaku and the like can engage in a discussion bout.

At the head of all this is a company called Moe Japan.

Opening times depend on the event and should be checked prior before planning a visit.
