TLDR: Older Brother

A little more detail if you like-
Onii can end with 3 different Japanese honourifics, -San, -Chan, or -Sama.
-San is the basic ending for the basic big bro.
-Chan is a more compassionate ending for Onii if you really love your big brother and feel emotionally attached to him greatly
-Sama is a bit of a formal ending for big brother, nothing too special.

My Onii-San is a cool bro
I really love my Onii-Chan!
Yes he is my Onii-Sama

Onii-Chan

Onii-Chan means "Big brother" in Japanese. Most people assume it's a mating call of some sort because of hentai but no that's just hentai. Lots of hentai has incest.

"Onii-chan! Drive me to my friend's house!"
