There are specific terms for different types of otaku, including {{nihongo|[[fujoshi]]|腐女子||lit. "rotten girl(s)"}}, a self-mockingly pejorative Japanese term for female fans of {{Transliteration|ja|[[yaoi]]}}, which focuses on [[homosexual]] male relationships.<ref name="Mari"/>  {{Transliteration|ja|[[Reki-jo]]}} are female otaku who are interested in [[Japanese history]]. Some terms refer to a location, such as {{Transliteration|ja|[[Akiba-kei]]}} ("Akihabara-style"), which applies to those familiar with Akihabara's culture.

Miyadai describes two big subtypes of the otaku type, a world type and a battle royale type. There is a chronological development from the world type of the late 1990s to the battle royale type of the 2000s but they also coexisted. The antagonism between the world type and the battle royale type emerged in the age in which reality and fiction are regarded as equivalent tools for self-defense. He further describes the internet society as a rhizomic structure which invalidates the distinction between "reality" and "fiction". The world type treats fiction as an equivalent of reality (real-ization of fiction), while the battle royale type treats reality as an equivalent of fiction (fictionalization of reality).<ref name=Miyadai/>
