.moe
The .moe domain extension is a top level domain (TLD) used commonly in the online anime and gaming communities. The term "moe" originated in Japan and comes from a slang word used to refer to feelings of affection towards characters in anime, manga, and video games. It creates a special digital identity for individuals and companies that wish to associate themselves with elements of the 'otaku' culture, which includes anime, manga, and video games. This domain extension is operated by Interlink Co. Ltd., a Tokyo-based company.
