>japs have otakus >fans of anime and manga do we have

Otakus aren't merely anime fans anon. Otakus is a derogatory term used to designate people who are completely obsessed with anime/manga/etc.
Being a fan is ok.
Being an Otaku is not.

The Nomura Research Institute (NRI) has made two major studies into otaku, the first in 2004 and a revised study with a more specific definition in 2005. The 2005 study defines twelve major fields of otaku interests. Of these groups, manga (Japanese comics) was the largest, with 350,000 individuals and ¥83 billion market scale. Idol otaku were the next largest group, with 280,000 individuals and ¥61 billion. Travel otaku with 250,000 individuals and ¥81 billion. PC otaku with 190,000 individuals and ¥36 billion. Video game otaku with 160,000 individuals and ¥21 billion. Automobile otaku with 140,000 individuals and ¥54 billion. Animation (anime) otaku with 110,000 individuals and ¥20 billion. The remaining five categories include Mobile IT equipment otaku, with 70,000 individuals and ¥8 billion; Audio-visual equipment otaku, with 60,000 individuals and ¥12 billion; camera otaku, with 50,000 individuals and ¥18 billion; fashion otaku, with 40,000 individuals and ¥13 billion; and railway otaku, with 20,000 individuals and ¥4 billion. These values were partially released with a much higher estimation in 2004, but this definition focused on the consumerism and not the "unique psychological characteristics" of otaku used in the 2005 study.

Well, they're just called everyone

Western media is generally considered the standard for all media. More people in the world will recognized Beyonce, Elvis, and Michael Jordan than they will any k-pop star. Similarly more people in the world will know about Superman than Naruto.

Either or, Michael Jordan is still considered the greatest basketball player of all time, by many people.
