Japanophile

Someone with a prominent interest in japan or japanese pop culture. Whether through music, japanese drama, anime, manga, language, art, history etc..

Being a japanophile does not make one a sociophobe or one without other interested -.-'

It can be someone who begins enjoying japanese popculture and extending themself to learning the language and more about the culture and way of life. Many even hope to live or visit the country.

Can even be one learning the japanese language for a considerable amount of time, into fluency.
