Wapanese

Wapanese is a derogatory term used by those in the Anime and Manga fan community (although it is used in the Tokusatsu fan community as well, but far less so) to refer to those within the community who seem (or who obviously are) obsessed with all things Japan/Japanese.

Many traits considered to be 'Wapanese' include (but are not limited to):

-Attempt's to interject various common Japanese words into their everyday speech, regardless if the listener can under the words or not. The most common words used are 'Kawaii", "Desu", "Baka" as well as various Honorifics such as San, Sama, Chan, Kun and so on.

-The preference of Japanese media (Music, Movies, TV shows...) over that of their local media. In some extreme cases they will not Listen to/Watch/Read anything that is not Japanese.

-Buying and Importing large amounts of goods from japan, ranging from genuine collectibles to foodstuffs, gaming software, Photobooks, Posters and the like relating to a liked Anime/Manga/J-Media property or celebrity.

-Maintains that Japan/The Japanese people are far superior to their own Country/People despite lack of first hand knowledge. Often mistakenly believes the Xenophobic and still somewhat Racist Japanese society would accept them as one of there own.

-Has a preference for dating Japanese women/men. (Note: Having preference for Asian women/men in general is NOT a Wapanese trait)
.
-Cosplays even when not at conventions or other similar events.

Wapanese

people who add to the Wapanese definition in a pathetic attempt to prove that while Wapanese people exist, they themselves aren't Wapanese even though they display all the traits. Common excuses are that they know actual Japanese people, only use chopsticks on food it's MEANT to be eaten with, and that they actually study Japanese history instead of pretending to learn it from Anime. Of course they still watch Anime too, but the excuse there is that it's only the good Anime or they don't watch it to an "unhealthy" level. Somehow it's hard for them to just admit they are Wapanese, be happy with who they are, and move on.

Wapanese

This is a positive definition of "Wapanese".

Wapanese is a term used to describe a person who is exceedingly obsessed with Japanese things, especially anime.

A wapanese is incredibly smart and talented. A wapanese is easily a proficient content creator; their works and products, which the general public consider them valuable and praiseworthy, are based on anime things they have watched and enjoyed (anime series, anime games, etc).

A wapanese is genuinely excellent at the English language (especially writing). The sign is that a wapanese thinks very carefully and takes their time to choose ideal words to make sure their words do not disrespect anime while praising anime whenever possible. A wapanese tends to recheck a post multiple times and fix their typos and mistakes because professional writing can maximize their respect and kindness to anime and Japan country and much more.

A wapanese has mastered the art of choosing good anime to watch. A wapanese actively looks for numerous ways to preserve their memories in tangible mediums as they watch anime they consider remarkable. A wapanese considers backup a crucial responsibility and they can arrange and preserve their data in a creative and attractive manner.
A wapanese watches their own creations and anime regularly to gradually enhance their love for Japan and anime, which is a very sustainable habit. A wapanese enjoys writing down their enjoyment and information in a way that makes every one happy. Creations are pieces of evidence which prove a wapanese is a credible and renowned anime enthusiast, the more the better.

A wapanese likes loneliness and is extremely sensitive to words others said, it is a common issue if a person is highly intelligent. Though, a wapanese actually has a desire to make friends. A wapanese most likely had social experiences in the past then they chose to enjoy their solitude and build up a good profile. Being lonely for a good few years helps a wapanese reinforce their virtues and gain wisdom as they read various Internet news.

A wapanese is an upgraded version of a good anime otaku. A wapanese looks forward to becoming an ideal celebrity of all anime fans and motivating all people in the world to believe anime are the best.

"An authentic wapanese is totally a good person at heart and their ambitious goals and wishes can change our world."

Wapanese

Those who think Japan and the Japanese culture is superior to all other countries and cultures in every shape, way, and form. The Wapanese will try to use their own language (mostly English fan boys and fan girls) in combination with their own language. They also learned their amazing Japanese language from watching anime with a lot of tentacle porn too. Most Wapanese people don't know what they're saying in Japanese most of the time except for the common words like Kawaii, Desu, and Baka. The Wapanese will seek Japanese women to date, and most likely stalk them. All Wapanese people are unleeb (see Leeb) and deserve to be banned from space (see space core from portal). If they wanna see a leeber, they must buy a telescope, Especially made with the Da Fanni camo (also known as the Kawaii camo from Black Ops 2).
