Otaku-chan is the pseudonym of Princess Daisy's assistant who appears in the Super Mario Kart adaptations in Super Mario Kodansha manga. Like the name suggests, she resembles a stereotypical otaku with big lips, long hair, and big glasses with occasional spirals in the lens.
In Super Mario Kart 1, Otaku-chan can be seen in the cover of the second chapter, holding a parasol to Daisy, acting as the racing queen.
In Super Mario Kart 2, Otaku-chan has a major role in the first chapter. Upset to have not been invited to Princess Peach's kart race, Daisy plans a prank with the help of Otaku-chan. After taking a picture of Mario and his ex-girlfriend Lady, Otaku-chan edits the photo (by cutting it and removing the space between the two), in order to make it look like they were kissing. Peach not only falls for this, but almost kills Mario in a jealous fit, much to Daisy's concern, who did not want things to escalate to such levels.
In Super Mario Kart 3, Otaku-chan is Daisy's kart partner and drives their vehicle, but she immediately crashes into a pole, disqualifying them from the competition.
