Otaku Entrepreneur to Dress as Char Anzanable on $20-million flight.
Japanese Internet investor Daisuke Enomoto, set to become the world's fourth "space tourist", plans to dress as Gundam character Char Anzanable during his $20-million dollar flight. All the self-professed Gundam-otaku requires is the aproval of the Russian Space Agency, which operates the space-tours for Space Adventures Inc.
Space Adventures Inc. has so far sent three "Space Tourists" to the International Space Station on Russian Soyuz space-craft for US$20-million a piece. Enomoto, former board director of Livedoor, a popular Japanese blog community (the 37th most popular website on the Internet according to Alexa), is set to make his trip into space in late 2006.
