	Japanese titles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese speakers will also use the term sarcastically to ridicule overblown or fawning adulation of such leaders, and the Japanese media frequently invoke it (rendered in katakana, akin to scare quotes or italics in English) to highlight the megalomania of those who allow themselves to be sycophantically addressed with the term.
		The Japanese soccer-player Robert Cullen is referred to as Karen-senshu.
		This title is usually conferred at the 9th (kyudan) or 10th dan (jyudan) ranking, usually by the senior leader or leadership of the organization.

		If, on the other hand, we translate the titles to our own system (which, although a monarchy, is also loosely a meritocracy) using occupation without regard to rank of the office-holder, we will have people of all ranks qualifying for all sorts of official titles and the titles will lose clarity of rank identification.
		In fact, this was the title in Period for a princeling of the Imperial family, and a not particularly exalted one at that.
		The title gozen is one applied to high-ranking women; by the Edo period, it had become a title suitable primarily to refer to the wives of samurai, but beginning in Heian and through most of Muromachi, it was only borne by important women and consorts of high-ranking men.

	Sensei's Library: Japanese Titles
		Note also that the titles 'father' and 'mother' are rarely used, men and women of this generation are usually addressed as uncle and aunt.
		If you have a native Japanese speaker available they may not want to be your guinea pig either, it's a lot of work to try and instruct foreigners in the Japanese language and they may be at a loss how to help you.
		Most Japanese are amazed that you know any of their language at all and will probably tell you that you're doing fine no matter how badly you butcher it.

	Language of Japan (overview, phonology, written Japanese, loan-words, honorific language, names)
		Japanese is the sixth most spoken language in the world, with over 99% percent of the country's population using it.
		The short vowels in the Japanese language are spoken similarly to those of the Spanish and Italian languages, whereas the long vowel sounds are usually comprised of doubling the short vowel sounds.
		As with other cultures, the Japanese have a different language on that shows honor or respect and it is called "keigo." Keigo is simply a method of speaking that shows the speaker's respect to the person he is speaking to.

	Japanese Video Games: A Model for International Popular Medias?
		Microsoft is the first company to make an attempt on the Japanese market with their Xbox system; and they have done so with limited results which were compounded by early hardware defects that resulted in a recall.
		Japanese game genres have become highly developed and specialized to meet the needs of local taste so that there is no place for games which do not fit into the established Japanese set of genres.
		The number of Japanese titles for the Xbox is still extremely low, and the current flow of Japanese titles seems to have come to an almost complete halt.

	The World's Biggest Animation Home Video Market?
		Virtually all of its videos, whether direct-to-video titles, movies, or television cartoons, are of in-house animation; in comparison to other distributors' videos which are produced by a large number of animation studios.
		The Japanese spend their yen on these and the domestic animation titles which are similarly family- and child-oriented.
		In addition, the Japanese public does not share the American preconception that "animation is just for kids," so there is no loss of face for teens or adults to buy or rent cartoon videos for themselves.

	Sensei's Library: Japanese name suffix
		A male in a generation older than the speaker could be addressed as 'uncle' and a woman in a generation older than the speaker could be addressed as 'aunt.' Note that 'aunt' is not acceptable to many young women as they feel it implies a rather matronly figure.
		About Japanese, the term for the elder sister is "onee-san" (With two "e" and one "n").
		As a general principle, I think you call someone according to the respect YOU want to show her (for the sake of what you are to and/or what you're feeling towards the person you are referring/talking to).

	Gender differences in spoken Japanese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Japanese language is unusual among major languages in the high degree to which the speech of women seen collectively differs from that of men.
		Perhaps because the vast majority of Japanese language teachers are women, or perhaps because of other association with Japanese women, foreign male learners may inadvertently pick up "women's Japanese", which may sound awkward or cause embarrassment.
		In addition to the use of pronouns to refer to oneself and others, the use of titles such as -san, -chan, and -kun also is strongly influenced by gender-based overtones and is another source of potential problems for the non-native speaker.

	Gamasutra - MGT Report: Japanese Titles: Besting the West?
		Japanese customers seem much more happy not to get fixated on games having to be '3D' to be any good, and the many popular manga-based games in Japan often work better in 2D than three dimensions.
		At a rough guess, something like 40 percent of the titles currently in the Japanese Top Ten will go on to be popular in the USA and Europe, whereas, of the Europe/US-authored products currently in the charts in those continents, probably less than 1 percent will end up being popular in Japan.
		His game credits include design on titles for Eidos and GT Interactive, and, as a true otaku, he owns almost every console known to man (although the FM Towns still eludes him!) In his spare time he attends philosophy lectures at Harvard, and runs the virtual record label Mono.

	Phil Ticknor
		Otomo explains that "in Japanese society there is no divide between what is perceived to be high and low culture, so manga may be taken more seriously than it would be in the West" (Smith 1995).
		While many of the first animé titles that were made widely available in North America were of these two genres, the reality is that they make up just a small portion of the whole Japanese animation market.
		It’s not just the Japanese titles that were targeted to girls and women in Japan that are popular with North American girls and women; many of the titles aimed at Japanese males are more popular with North American females than with Japanese females.

		In the Tsubasa manga from del ray they say that the title -Dono is how someone adresses a lord or someone else of great significance.
		that's why, like such, -sama is the last title for respect, under which everyone tends to be as respectful to their elders, that's why -sama has the highest significance.
		Japanese language is surely complicated in the way of addressing people, compared to "You and I" in English, lol.

		Many traditions that we assume to be Japanese are actually imported from China: kanji, Buddhism, ikebana, bonsai, tea ceremony, and so on -- even sushi and Shinto.
		As merchants occupied the lowest plane on the Japanese feudal pyramid (click here for story and pictures), they tried to exert some authoritative chirp when Oda wanted the city to get under his control, since the merchants knew they got what Oda wanted -- import biz, etc. Imai managed to talked his colleagues into submission.
		He made the title 'tea master' to embody a rather disproportional authority compared to what it was about.
