avatar, az magyarul avatára: ind, vall, Visnu külso megtestesülése (Scriptum, Anyanyelvi könyvespolc, Idegen szavak szótára) Avatára: szó szerint leszállás (ava és tri), az isteni lényeknek emberi vagy állati alakban nyilvánuló újraszületésére használt muszó az ind hitlegetanban. Eredete buddhista fogalmakra vezetheto vissza, de a gyozedelmes brahmanizmus is átvette. Az istenségek a megváltó módjára emberi alakban a földre jönnek a gonosz uralmának megszüntetéséért küzdeni. Legismertebbek Visnu tiz megtestesülése, továbbá Siva és Ganesa inkarnációi. (Pallas nagy lexikona) http://www.mek.iif.hu/porta/szint/egyeb/lexikon/pallas/html/008/pc000882.html

Kamishibai, small online "plays" presented at http://otakuworld.com. You download the Kamishibai application, which appears on the screen, as a small puppet theater; and you begin "games" by clicking on a series of titles - each one tells a story through text, sound-effects, music, and limited animation. Anyone can create a Kamishibai and upload it to the Otakuworld site, just like anyone can create a PlayKiss game and publicize it.

The texts "by" Nikuko, for example, are my own; they question identity and author/ity issues, as well as appear to "come to life" apart from me; there is further information at http://www.anu.edu.au/english/internet_txt and at http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/writers/sondheim/index.htm

Kyoko Date, Date Kyoko, created 1996, trans/lated recently into Korea, project of HoriPro (http://www.horipro.co.jp), entertainment/animation, virtual models (http://www.elite-illusion2k.com), Rebecca, Sharon Apple (for example http://www.usagichan.com/AX96Sharon/), virtual idols (see http://www.tcp.com/doi/seiyuu/books/virtual-idol/), anime (see Helen McCarthy & Jonathan Clements, The Erotic Anime Movie Guide, Overlook, 1999), TokyoPop (http://www.tokyopop.com), various distributions - energy in the sound, labor in the specificity of gathering backgrounds and foregrounds; I began losing myself in the midst of the thick otaku fandom, passing through the Otakuworld PlayKiss or Kamishibai sites (see http://otakuworld.com and http://otakuworld.com/shibai/kamifaq.html),
