 Tuesday’s episode of the Fox singing competition American Idol highlighted contestant Mere Doyle during the Boston auditions. Doyle called herself an “otaku, which is another word for anime freak.” Doyle also said anime inspired her to design and make her own kimono. The segment highlighted Doyle wearing a kimono and also other cosplay items such as a jacket worn by the titular character in Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto manga and anime. Doyle said her aspirations are to “become a singer and be successful in Japan.” Doyle sang Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart” for her audition.
