Densha Otoko (translated as Train Man) is a Japanese movie, television series, manga, novel, and other media, all based on the purportedly true story of a twenty-three year old otaku, who intervened when a drunk man was harassing several women on a train, and who himself ultimately begins dating one of them. The event, and the man's subsequent dates with the woman, who became known as Hermès (エルメス, Erumesu?), was chronicled on the Japanese mega-BBS 2channel.
