Wikipedia said: "In modern Japanese slang, the term otaku refers to fan of, or is specialized in any particular theme, topic, or hobby. Common uses are anime otaku (a fan of anime ) and manga otaku (a fan of Japanese comic books or manga), pasokon otaku (personal computer geeks), gēmu otaku (playing video games), and wota (pronounced 'ota', previously referred to as "idol otaku") that are extreme fans of idols, heavily promoted singing girls. There are also tetsudō otaku or denshamania (metrophiles) or gunji otaku (military geeks).
[...]Although stereotypically male, there are also many female otaku or 'fujoshi'. (Fujoshi is a pejorative Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men, often with the implication of Yaoi concept. [...] Fujoshi are females who enjoy imagining what it would be like if male characters from manga and anime, and occasionally real-life male performers as well, loved each other. The label encompasses fans of the shōnen-ai genre itself, as well as the related manga, anime, and video game properties that have appeared as the shōnen-ai market began to develop.)
[...]A subset of otaku are the 'Akiba-kei', men who spend a lot of time in Akihabara in Tokyo and who are mainly obsessive about anime, idols and games."

Hmm, I haven't seen Shugo Chara tbh but nothing on her MAL page nor on wikipedia tends to give any hint of her being obsessed /:
Do you have some better proofs? Because just liking something, even if it's alot doesn't always make one an otaku. It must reflects on one's behaviour or lifestyle or whatnot :)
