Otaku ME was started up by Qais Sedki, the Sheikh Zayed Book Award winning author of the Gold Ring Arabic Manga series. Building Gundam plastic model kits has been a personal interest of Qais since 2006 when he picked up a model kit on a trip to Japan. Since then, he's been hooked and started picking up a few kits with every trip to Japan. As Qais got more interested in plastic modelling, especially Gundam kits, he wondered if others shared the passion ans took quick steps to test the market in a regional online retailer for these kits. Sure enough, there was quite an appetite for these kits and Otaku ME took off.
