Japanophile

A person who has a high level of interest in Japanese culture, language, art, etc. This interest may have been sparked by the current anime fad, or it may have been sparked by something else entirely.

A person who is a Japanophile is not necessarily unwashed, overweight, only interested in things from Japan, etc. This describes someone who is mentally ill, not someone with an interest or hobby. Many people who are very interested in Japan are also interested in many other things. Being a Japanophile is no different than being very interested in any other thing, to include American culture, a specific television show, or a particular science such as biology.

I am very interested in Japan and other Asian cultures, and I have been since a child. Anime was a logical step following my interest. Therefore I could easily be considered a Japanophile. I am also very interested in biology, genetics, American comics, the French language, Celtic mythology, world history, martial arts (to include non-Asian forms such as fencing), ballet, and baking.

japanofile

Originally a common misspelling of the word "Japanophile"; now regularly and intentionally used by many people with this (mis-)spelling to differentiate it from the word "Japanophile". The word "japanofile", typically written with a lower-case "j", is often used to refer to someone who likes Japan-related things to an excess and possibly even to the point of annoyance. It is also used in the plural as the name of a popular Japan-related podcast: "The Japanofiles".

"To be accused of being a japanofile is regarded by some people as offensive."

japanophilia

A love or over interest in everything Japanese. Some might consider Japanophilia an obsession, compulsion, and a crazy madness all in one.

Japanophile-"I really really like Japanese girls"
Person-"Yeah, me too, it's like virtual pornography, they're 23, but they look like they're 14! Don't you love little children?"
Japanophile-"Ewww man, pedophilia is fucking gross!"
Person-"And Japanophilia is any better"?

Japanophile2-"Henseiki! Toshigoro! Boushi!"
"Dude, wtf is that guy talking about?"
"Nah, don't worry about it, she thinks she can speak Japanese because she's already inflicted with Japanophilia, I hear it's a terrible condition"
"It must be, man, you live your life under the delusion that you're actually a different race!"

Japahoe

This is a common word among Marines and Sailors who frequent the bars and clubs ALL OVER JAPAN. A Japahoe is not only "Around American military bases" but can come from any part of Japan. More commonly, Japahoes are found in Hiphop and Rap clubs looking for Black American military guys. These American men are taking advantage of these women who do not understand American Culture of hit it and quit it.

Its not called "Buy-me-drink-me" its called "Buy-me-Drinkie" and you will NOT find a Japahoe here. These are snack bars where Japanese men come to have a female drinking companion. If you think you will get ass at a place like this you are SADLY mistaken, and you will probobly loose your genitalia to the local Yakuza for trying to tap that.

The women at "Snack" bars are very good at getting men to spend money, so any time you hear of an American guy hooking up with a Buy-me-drinkie girl, its a flat out lie.

Lets go to Hiroshima and look for some Japahoes this weekend.

May also refer to someone who is whoring out the culture, aka, Gwen Stefani.

Man 1: I despise Japanophiles. I hope they all die. Along with the many other groups of people I want to die.

japanophile

A person who essentially rapes the culture of Japan. These people are anime freaks, and know absolutely NOTHING of the Japanese culture except from what they have seen in anime. They may think it quite cool to add '-san' or '-chan' to the end of people's names, use their 4-word Japanese vocabulary in everyday situations and wear black all the time. These people generally only make friends with other Japanophiles and are seen mostly as losers.

These people watch a bunch of cheap, crappy animes that have gotten really popular because of the Japanophile culture. These animes include Inu-Yasha, Full-Metal Alchemist, Sailor Moon, and Naruto.

"Konichiwa. ^-^ Inu-yasha is on! It's my favorite because Kagome is SO kawaii." (something a japanophile would say)
