OtakuKart is an entertainment website focused on publishing news and content about anime, manga, movies, TV shows, and video games from around the world. It was established in April 2015[2] by Sohel Moldharia.[3]

History

Otakukart was originally created as an anime store,[4] however, sometime after, it was converted into an entertainment news blog. It started blogging in November 2015, covering only anime and manga for the first seven months. In 2016, Otakukart started writing on pop culture and video games.

In May 2021, Otakukart started working on Anime India Initiative.[5] In which they provided free food to the underprivillaged part of society as the COVID-19 pandemic has left numerous lives stranded. The company is also working on planting trees to make a dent in the battle against environmental change.[6]

The company took over Mice News Philippines, a Philippines news website in January 2021, for an undiclosed amount.[7] In June 2021, Otakukart acquired Sports Al Dente from LAFB Network for an undisclosed amount.[8][9]
