Otaku come in many flavors, but one thing can be said for each and every one of them. They've each staked out their own favorite thing, and they obsess over it relentlessly. Regardless of other intelligence, an otaku will have an obsessive, unhealthy, and almost encyclopedic knowledge of their chosen topic.
There are almost as many flavors of this type of character as there are things under the sun, but a few of the major ones are:
Anime or Manga Otaku (which is what most people think of when they hear the term "otaku")
Cosplay Otaku
Gaming Otaku
Idol Otaku (wota)
Military Otaku
Technology Otaku
Gun Nut
Blade Enthusiast
Essentially, someone could be an otaku about just about anything: politics, sports, history, etc. When otaku is used by itself by a Westerner, 99% of the time it will mean "anime/manga otaku".
Neither geek nor nerd is an adequate translation. However, in modern use, both words may carry a shadow of the right connotations of obsessive interest and/or social ineptitude; see the geek page for details. Think of the older, more pejorative senses of geek and you're on the right track. The British term anorak and the Internet terms neckbeard or weeb/weaboo are also close translations. Speaking of The Internet, in more dickish online communities, autism-related terms get slung around in a similar manner. The closest troper-speak cognate would be "Loony Fan." In Japan, the term doesn't carry a positive meaning at all. One of the first things most Japanese language classes often have to teach people is that calling yourself an otaku in Japan is a very bad thing. (Although it must be said that in more recent years this sense is mellowing out, to the extent that more Japanese are self-identifying as otaku. See The Other Wiki's page on this for more info.)
A related term is hikikomori, which refers to a teenager or young adult who withdraws completely from society for an extended period, typically isolating themselves within their parents' house and becoming psychologically fixated on particular hobbies; hikikomori in media are usually otaku of some sort. Hikikomori are also critically viewed as lazy and outright creepy, which doesn't help the perception of otaku much — especially after 1989, when serial killer Tsutomu Miyazaki was shown to be both an otaku and hikikomori, leading to a moral panic.
Otakuism is associated with men, with the notable exceptions of the Fangirls, Wrench Wench, the Cosplay Otaku Girl, and creators of a certain kind of comic. However, female otaku seem to be either getting more common lately or becoming more relaxed about showing it.
The term itself comes from the very polite form of "you", which can come off as socially awkward. The best guess as to how the term became associated with obsessive fandom is that the word was an inside joke among the production staff of the anime series Super Dimension Fortress Macross in 1982, and that they would have characters (notably Lynn Minmay) use the over-polite form of address, even when inappropriate. Fans picked it up and used it in conversation with each other even well past the point when they would use other forms of "you", such as "kimi", "Anata", or "omae". A writer for a Japanese magazine noted the meme and wrote an article that cemented the term as being used for obsessive fans.
See also: Occidental Otaku, Chuunibyou. Compare: Loony Fan (who are more weird than obsessive) and The Movie Buff (a similar type of obsession over movies.)

The titular character of Haruka Nogizaka's Secret. Being a popular girl from a rich family, she has to hide the fact that she's secretly an anime otaku, otherwise people will look down on her... and then the male protagonist catches her red-handed and she's terrified that he'd use that knowledge to that advantage (turns out he didn't). This is an in-anime example where people do look down on otaku, if it gets blown out of proportion... like the male protagonist's best friend, whose otakuness is shown right off the bat.

In Tonari no Kashiwagi-san Sayaka and Kazuki aren't otakus, which is the fastest way of describing how prevalent the character type is there. This makes it easier for several of them to form friendships. It's mostly about watching anime and reading manga, with one character being an artist.

Tsumugi Shirogane in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is the "Ultimate Cosplayer". Like Hifumi before her, she makes frequent references to anime and video games that the others don't understand. As part of her talent, she's also an excellent seamstress. However, Tsumugi doesn't exactly like having people look at her, and as such prefers having people model her costumes rather than wearing them herself.

Disgaea:
Flonne from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is a huge Toku and anime otaku — Enough that she can be bribed into beating the crap out of people with the promise of a Super Sentai DVD box set. One of her super attacks in Disgaea 2 is called "Flonnezilla", which turns her into a cute fire-breathing, plushie-monster-wearing terror. She also has a similar attack as a secret character in Makai Kingdom.
Almaz in Disgaea 3|Absence Of Justice}} is also an otaku but focused completely on heroes. Mao is a closet hero otaku as well (he refuses to admit it).
Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless features Pirilika, a highly enthusiastic fan of Hinomotonese culture whose understanding thereof stems from all the films and manga she's enjoyed.

Graham Aker from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is a Japanese culture fanboy. A VERY badass Japanese fanboy who manages to avoid being an Occidental Otaku if only by virtue of the fact he is totally serious about his passion and has hardly any traits of the Occidental version aside from the fanaticism.
Gundam Build Fighters gets pretty Meta about this. Since the entire sub-franchise is about people building custom model kits and battling them using a simulator-like machine, most of the cast are Otaku for the Gundam franchise itself. Original Build Fighters protagonist Sei Iori is a stand-out example: in one episode where he was put under hypnosis, he proceeded to recite Amuro Ray's dialog from Mobile Suit Gundam...all 43 episodes of itnote And for the record, he wasn't ordered to do this by the hypnotist; he did it entirely of his own volition.

Don Quixote makes this Older Than Steam. Even before he goes crazy enough to actually try to become a knight, he's established early on as being very obsessed with novels about chivalric romance. He argues with his friends over which knights are the strongest, overthinks all the technical aspects of the chivalry stories, and is even tempted to write Fan Fiction of one of his favorites. Disturbingly similar to some modern-day fandoms...

Keima Katsuragi, the protagonist of The World God Only Knows, is a dedicated dating sim otaku who gets recruited to help capture runaway spirits. He's not generally well-liked by his fellow students - which is fine with him, because he doesn't like engaging with them.
His sidekick Elsie is an otaku too, although she's rather quieter about it than Keima. Unusually for the trope, she has two specialties: Idol Singer Kanon Nakagawa... and fire trucks.

Francis from Super Paper Mario is a giant chameleon who kidnaps Tippi in order to take pictures of her with his new "high-technical" camera, stockpiles video games and anime, and is overall a geek of the highest order. He also has an army of robot cat maids.

Lamar of Meta Runner is primarily an anime/manga otaku. He's most noted for his collection of body pillows, whom he has a Companion Cube relationship with. He'd qualify as a gaming otaku too if gaming wasn't the big-name thing in the Meta Runner world.

In the Discworld novel Going Postal, Apprentice Postman Stanley Howler is an obsessive pin collector, to the point (no pun intended) that all the other collectors in Ankh-Morpork think he's "a little weird about pins". After the main character invents postage stamps, Stanley takes up stamp collecting... with pretty much the same obsessiveness he had for pins.

Nagi from Hayate the Combat Butler is a manga otaku, and has been drawing her own ever since she was six years old. She's also a Gamer Chick. Gotta do something with all those hours inside, right?
Wataru (a.k.a. "Waka") works as a clerk in a video store, giving him plenty of opportunities to indulge in his hobby of action anime.
It's arguable that Hayate himself is one, seeing as he's been in many positions that other otaku would kill for. And the fact that he redrew Nagi's manga chapter into one that would appeal to many otaku. Then again, he might just be too dense to be one.
Gym teacher Kaoru is given his own chapter, titled "Lost in the Path of the Otaku". He is a Gundam otaku, his room filled to overflowing with Gundam models (he built them himself), but the main focus of his character isn't about this part of his life.
Kotetsu is shown to be this way over trains, his fascination with them is used to put the 'dark side' of Japan's outlook to a lampshade when two girls, who previously were discussing how Bishōnen his looks are, are visibly squicked when the camera he's pulling out of his bag is used to take pictures of the trains going by, and quickly leave.

Kaoru Yamazaki from Welcome to the NHK has a huge collection of anime and video game merchandise, and he's especially obsessed with the children's anime Ojamajo Doremi (in the anime adaptation, he's obsessed with the fictional anime Puru Puru Pururin instead). Although he comes off as slightly less severe than some of the other characters, he's treated with the same humorous objective criticism as everyone else. Yamazaki's influence makes main character Satou become an otaku as well, though while he watches more anime than is probably healthy, he's not quite as obsessive about it as Yamazaki.

Duff the gunsmith from Dave the Diver is a pretty stereotypical Otaku: a pudgy Basement-Dweller who collects idol figurines and peppers his dialogue with anime references. Where he differs is his job: Duff is The Blacksmith and a genius one at that, able to engineer weapons that can work within the mysterious effects of the Giant Blue Hole and can build everything from guns to tracking devices to an undersea drone armed with a Wave-Motion Gun in the event of a Sea Monster attack.

Nishijou Takumi, the protagonist from Chaos;Head, is a hikikomori and a massive otaku (Dolls, Anime, and Gamer) to the point of spending all of his time in his room (a cargo container on the roof of a building) and vastly preferring the company of his anime-based dolls to any real girls; this preference exhibits itself most strongly (besides his constant exclamations to that effect) by him having delusions of his favorite anime waifu talking to him and acting as a companion/influence of sorts, talking to him virtually all the time. Ironically enough, it turns out that Takumi himself is a delusion-made-real, answering the age-old question, "Can dreams dream?" with a very emphatic "Yes." Evidently, the trouble is getting them to stop.

Lucky Star:
Konata, another exception to the Cosplay Otaku Girl rule, who seems to be primarily a gaming otaku (specifically, MMORPGs and eroges), though she also talks a lot about anime, manga, and Collectible Card Games. She inherited her interests from her father Soujirou, who's very much an otaku himself.
Patricia "Patty" Martin is a parody of the typical American weeaboo, knowing nothing about Japan and its culture besides what she learned from anime, manga, and yaoi. She learned most of her Japanese from subbed anime, only listens to Japanese bands whose songs have been used as anime themes, and believes Akihabara is a more important cultural landmark than anything else in Japan. Needless to say, she's way geekier than even Konata.
Hiyori Tamura, Patty's classmate, is also an otaku who mainly focuses on drawing doujinshi of her favorite characters from anime and games...and of her friends Yutaka and Minori, whom she likes to imagine as more than just friends, much to her own embarassment.

Kung Fu Panda has a rather hilarious take on the otaku phenomenon, with Po as a Kung Fu enthusiast. Not only does he know all the tales of great Kung Fu masters like the Furious Five, recognizes each sacred or amazing artifact in the temple with ecstatic glee, and pours out gushing praise of Crane in his bedchamber to the point he hovers outside the door waiting for the master to speak again, but he confesses to them that he has all their action figures—which of course are much smaller than the real thing, except Mantis who is "the same size." The fact he is chosen to learn Kung Fu at their side and becomes the Dragon Warrior is probably an example of an Ascended Fanboy as well—the artifact-examining scene certainly smacks of it.

Patlabor has Noa Izumi and Shige.
Noa is a huge fan of Labors, which is the reason she signed up for duty with the newly formed second Special Vehicles Unit - in hopes of being able to pilot one of her very own. She had even chosen the name "Alphonse" for it before ever being accepted as part of the division. So, for her, being a Labor pilot is literally her dream job.
The same can be said in regard to Shige. The difference being, whereas Noa wants to pilot Labors, Shige is a gearhead who wants to study them in order to better understand how they work, so he can optimize their efficiency. Which is why he became a mechanic at the SVU.

Danganronpa:
Hifumi Yamada from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is the "Ultimate Doujin Writer" (or "Fanboy", in some translations). He's a fat teenage artist whose work sells in the tens of thousands, disavows any interest in 3D women, and aims to become a famous sculptor (of anime figures, of course). His dialogues are liberally peppered with references to anime and video games.
Tsumugi Shirogane in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is the "Ultimate Cosplayer". Like Hifumi before her, she makes frequent references to anime and video games that the others don't understand. As part of her talent, she's also an excellent seamstress. However, Tsumugi doesn't exactly like having people look at her, and as such prefers having people model her costumes rather than wearing them herself.

In World War Z, there is an Otaku of the hikikomori type who is so obsessed with studying the Zombie Apocalypse on the Internet that he doesn't treat it as something to worry about until it reaches his apartment building, stuck with useless information and trapped in a very zombie-friendly Japan. He manages to survive, finds a genuine katana from a WW2 veteran's flat, and takes a level in badass.
And then he gets trained by a blind swordsman, and gains a couple thousand more levels in badass.

The Great-O-Khan from the power stable The United Empire in New Japan Pro-Wrestling is proud to be an otaku and a huge fan of Subaru Oozora from hololive. In fact, one of his attacks is named as the "Oozora Subaru Sheepicide" due to one of the hololive - Holo no Graffiti shorts having Subaru pull this move on Tsunomaki Watame, which turned out to be an original move.

The josei manga Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku deals with romance between different types of otaku. Momose Narumi is a fujoshi while Nifuji Hirotaka, her boyfriend, is a video game otaku. Their friend, Koyanagi Hanako, likes crossplaying. Kabakura Tarou, Koyanagi's boyfriend, is an anime and manga otaku, but he isn't as passionate about it as the rest of them.

Izuku Midoriya of My Hero Academia idolizes Pro Heroes and aspires to be one himself. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of all Pro Heroes (even obscure ones like Eraser Head who tries to avoid appearing in the media) and takes obsessive notes on any detail regarding heroes. His bedroom is also covered from floor to ceiling in All Might merchandise, his favorite Pro Hero.
The Big Bad All For One is a huge fan of the Demon Lord featured in the Captain Hero comics. His motivation to become Japan's most dangerous criminal mastermind comes from his desire to cosplay the Demon Lord. Ironically, his younger brother was a fan of Captain Hero and became the progenitor of the One For All Quirk that seeks to defeat All For One.

Renge Houshakuji in Ouran High School Host Club is so obsessed with the fictional Dating Sim videogame Ukidoki Memorial (a rather transparent allusion to the real Tokimeki Memorial games) that she decides to redesign the personalities of the Host Club members to better match the characters in the game. The reason she transfers to Ouran in the first place is that she instantly decided to marry Kyouya after seeing a photo of him, as he bears a strong resemblance to her favorite character from Ukidoki. Unfortunately, she finds out the hard way that Kyouya isn't anything like the dating sim character she loves.

ATTACK on MIKA:
Akira is a sympathetic example of one. His parents ignore him in favor of his sister Nagi, and they even refer to him as "scum" for being an otaku.
Abram, a minor character, is a stereotypical depiction, on top of making pig noises and turning out to be a masochist after the antagonist Mina cusses out the boys who fought over who gets to save her from drowning.

The majority of the cast of Shinozaki-san Ki wo Ota Shika ni! are otaku. The series is notable in that otaku are generally shown in a more positive light. The only character shown with any real prejudice toward otaku is Akina Shinozaki herself, who's faking being an otaku to get close to a girl and introduce her to normal hobbies but ends up Becoming the Mask. Perhaps best demonstrated in a sports day chapter where her classmates, at worst, regard her as a Bunny-Ears Lawyer when her growing otaku-dom slips out during a soccer game. They don't particularly mind her doing things like calling them by "PrePure" colors since she's carrying the team at that point.

Shinichi Kudo from Case Closed is both an Amateur Sleuth and a huge fanboy of mystery and crime novels. He's sometimes referred to as a suiri otaku aka a mystery otaku. (Particularly by his "not girlfriend" Ran.)
In a filler case, Shinichi/Conan investigates a murder that took place in a gathering of tokusatsu fans. The victim hits many if not all the stereotypes of the "bad" otaku: obsessive, a borderline hikikomori, bitchy, lives in an apartment that's chock-full of memorabilia, etc. It turns out that his most valuable merchandising piece was stolen from a kid... who later was hit by a truck while trying to retrieve it. And the boy's older brother, the leader of the fans club, is who killed the otaku, to punish him for the horrible incident.
Officer Chiba is a milder example. He's often seen reading a manga about a pretty girl detective and it's strongly suggested by Takagi that his room is full of character figurines and models. When we do get to see his flat, almost every exposed surface in the living room has figurines or other merchandise, but Conan finds it excessive rather than creepy. Chiba's collections seem to be mostly superhero and kaiju-related, and naturally, the Detective Kids love it.
In the filler Séance Locked Murders case, one of the suspects is an otaku named Yutaka, the president of a deceased Idol Singer's fans club. He at first seems to treat the deal as a game, and when a fellow fangirl is found strangled to death he happily and melodramatically claims that the singer's spirit has come to take revenge for her own strange death.

Codename: Sailor V (the manga that would eventually give birth to Sailor Moon) actually has a one-off character called Takurou Ootaku, whose name is a pun roughly meaning "wandering otaku". He's a Game Otaku who refuses to believe a girl could be better at games than he is. He flips out at the idea of Minako even going to an arcade (which he considers a "castle for lonely boys") and accuses Minako of being a man in drag when she beats his highscore. He even demands she take off her clothes. When she tries to fight him as Sailor V he tries to look up her skirt, so she kicks him.

Gundam Build Fighters gets pretty Meta about this. Since the entire sub-franchise is about people building custom model kits and battling them using a simulator-like machine, most of the cast are Otaku for the Gundam franchise itself. Original Build Fighters protagonist Sei Iori is a stand-out example: in one episode where he was put under hypnosis, he proceeded to recite Amuro Ray's dialog from Mobile Suit Gundam...all 43 episodes of itnote And for the record, he wasn't ordered to do this by the hypnotist; he did it entirely of his own volition.

In the anime version of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, the serious and sensible Rina is given a rather ridiculous vice: she's a plasma TV otaku. This is used without fail to allow the writers to dangle a TV in front of her and ignore any situation where she would take the Idiot Ball from her friends and punt it somewhere else with her good sense.* Midori Days: Takamizawa is a fanatic when it comes to cosplay figures and has an entire showroom, which includes everything from limited edition models to one-of-a-kind originals. It's just missing one thing: Midori, herself. But since he's unable to add her to his collection (for obvious reasons), he does the next best thing, by making a perfect likeness of her in the form of a hand puppet.

The Nishigori triplets from Yuri!!! on Ice are figure skating otaku despite being only six years old; they already have a reputation as the "Skate Otaku Sisters" due to how passionate they are, and their shared Instagram account is even called "sukeota3sisters", with "sukeota" being short for "skater otaku". Their mother Yuko may not be quite as obsessive about the skating world, but she's been a huge fan of famous Russian skater Victor Nikiforov since she was young, and the fact that the triplets are all named after figure skating jumps definitely says something about how much she loves the sport.

Mani Mani People: Yuto was an anime and video game otaku. He was bullied for it. When the bullies forced him to go to a matchmaking party, he met Kaede who is nerdy and into the same things as him and they began to date each other even when they are revealed to be the yakuza and mafia children respectively.

Megane Kakeru in Inazuma Eleven. At least he's not that bad, and can be even awesome at a time, especially when he's compared to another soccer team made of otaku who use their traits to cheat matches.

Annie Wilkes of Misery fame is a well-known western example. She's so obsessed with the Misery book series that when author Paul Sheldon decides to end the series with the main character's death due to being tired of writing it, she kidnaps Sheldon and forces him to write another book in between drugging and torturing him.

Travis Touchdown of No More Heroes is a shameless otaku, and wears an anime t-shirt under his more traditional badass-anti-hero leather outfit. He uses otaku slang terms, including moe. Unusually, though, despite his fandom, he's an outright bruiser more than capable of winning any fight he's in; and he also lacks the gentle, shy personality associated with the stereotypical otaku, instead having been inspired by the rather violent and foul-mouthed anonymous frequenters of the anime boards on the Japanese message board Nii Channeru (2chan).
Not to mention some of his unlockable outfits are hilariously nerdy.
Travis is an interesting, rare breed of a western otaku created by a Japanese maniac developer. He's surprisingly spot on.

In BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Ruby gets a special intro where she gets on Ragna the Bloodedge's nerves by fawning over his sword and asking if she can look at it. She does the same to Es, who just gives a Little "No" because getting annoyed isn't really her thing

In Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger, Shogo is this for the Final Fantasy series. While he and Yuko are both fans, he possesses encyclopedic knowledge about the series and obsessively plays Final Fantasy XIV in his downtime. He's also shocked that his "inner Ultimania" is completely wrong when he misnames the races in the world he ends up in.

Elda, the titular Otaku Elf, is a timid shut-in who prefers to spend her time watching anime and playing video games than do her duties as the (admittedly false) deity of the Shinto shrine she inhabits. It turns out that she's always had addictive tendencies, and not just towards modern-day media; as she was summoned to Japan 400 years ago, she used to be fixated on collecting woodblock paintings that used to come with medicine.

The Rigel Black Chronicles:
Harry's first and true love is brewing potions. She learns an impressive variety of other subjects through necessity (such as physical and mental self-defence), or because they're tangentially related to brewing (like wandless magic, which is used to stir multilayered potions), but at the end of the day, she's at Hogwarts to learn from Professor Snape, and could cheerfully spend all day in a lab. (She's astounded to find, in her third year, that Alchemy has a similar appeal.) When Professor Snape first tests her skill by having her write down all the ingredients she knows of and the basics of handling each one, she runs out of parchment.
Kasten is even more extreme. He has spent ten years as a mortal, and fifty as a vampire, extracting and isolating the essence of different substances, aiming to collect the essence of everything on Earth, and shows no sign of any other interests.

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues:
While they try to hide it out of embarrassment, Ivy and Luna are both big fans of anime and manga, and bonded specifically because they both had an interest in it.
Vivian has a lot of nerdy interests, ranging from anime to musicals, that she's both deeply invested in and deeply embarrassed if anyone finds out about.

Tenpou from Saiyuki Gaiden was described by the author once as "fundamentally an otaku"...of many things presumably, given the extent of his library (has a bit of everything, not sure on his definition of a bit) and art/sculpture/weird things from the lower world collection.

In Action Heroine Cheer Fruits, Ann Akagi is a major Tokusatsu otaku, not just of the action heroine shows that drive the show's plot but of real shows like Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and more, as evidenced by the Shout Outs she delivers. Contrary to the stereotype, she's actually exceptionally fit for a high schooler, which is precisely why she gets cast as the "Red Ranger" when the girls of Hinano start their own action heroine show. Roko Kuroki, another member of the team, is a railfan: her father is the stationmaster of Hinano's train station, she actually lives in a train car converted into a bedroom, and she's shown to enjoy the smell of diesel; no points for guessing what she suggests when the girls are brainstorming for themes for their show.

Sergeant Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic! is described as a military otaku by Kaname, before she finds out he really is in the military. However, Sousuke is still a military nut even though he's a real soldier, since he's completely clueless about anything that doesn't have to do with fighting or the military and always acts as though he's on the battlefield. Shinji Kazama is a straighter version of the trope, specifically a military AS fan.
All-around badass Belfangan Clouseau's guilty pleasure is moe anime. During the climax of the story, he monologues about how he's going to survive so that he can retire, move to Akihabara, and spend the rest of his life translating said anime so that everyone can enjoy it.
