Danny Choo

Danny Choo is a British entrepreneur, blogger, and television producer based in Japan.

Early life and education Choo was born and raised in London, England. As his parents were often busy, he spent part of his childhood in foster care.

In his teens, Choo found a Japanese video game console, which caused him to become fascinated with Japanese pop culture. He taught himself Japanese in order to understand Japanese video games and manga. While he was in university, he worked at a Japanese restaurant, and he met his future wife there. He visited Japan for the first time in 1993 and moved there permanently in 1997. Mirai Suenaga also became an official mascot of Japan Tourism.

Choo is the producer, director, and presenter of a show called Culture Japan which airs throughout Asia on Animax. The show covers his life in Japan, and Choo says that his aim in the show is to act as a "bridge" for foreign audiences. He debuted the concept at Comic Fiesta 2013 and stated that the dolls would be robotic and be able to move autonomously, and that they would release in 2014. The robotic doll did not release in 2014, but a non-robotic "manual version" did, and proved popular. Versions of the doll have included room for internal USB hubs, power banks, and Bluetooth speakers.
