In 1994, Eric Nakamura launched a zine called Giant Robot, a photocopied, hand-stapled fanboy’s collection of anime, kung fu movies, Japanese punk bands and skateboarding.

Thirty years later, what started as a personal hobby has become a showcase of pop culture centering on Asian and Asian-American artists. An art exhibition celebrating the world of Giant Robot is currently on view at the Japanese American National Museum.

"LA Times Today" got a look inside the exhibit.

The Giant Robot Biennale 5 is currently at the Japanese American National Museum through Sept. 1. Go to JANM.org for hours and ticket information.
