Caucasian Americans that follow the ways of Japanese culture so they can be "Japanese." They are the reasons why many Japanese-Americans look down on us. If the Wapaneseism becomes too much of fad by many Caucasian-Americans then our fellow Japanese-American counterparts will actually start to think mainstream Americans are retarded
Jill(Wapanese person)- Hey look im Kagome, im gonna do Japanese stuff and hate on America.
Tomi(Actual Japanese Person)- Jill, you are one stupid Moron and a "Bakayaru", and thanks to you now I think America is filled with wannabe retards that watch Anime 24-7. And if you don't like your country, you can leave it and I came here for a better life and im actually liking America.

Billy, the Wapanese, proudly declared himself an otaku after watching twenty-four hours of Evangelion and learning how to write "watashi" in romanji.

An American person who has gone a little too far in worshipping Japanese people.
A Wapanese is someone who
-likes the dorkiest, most childlike animes
-talks in half Japanese, half English a.k.a Janpanglish
-thinks they are an uber-cool japanese person
-are usually a failure in American society
Keep in mind that there is a difference between a dedicated anime fan and a Wapanese. A normal manga/anime lover is merely someone who reads manga and/or watches anime, perhaps even calling their friends "-chan" or using the words "chibi" or "kawaii" once in a while, just to be cute. A Wapanese takes it so far it gets REALLY, REALLY annoying.

It can be have several meaning depending on how it is used.
It is commonly used to describe someone with an Unhealthy obsession with Japan and Japanese culture. They can sometimes be refered to as Japanophiles or weeabos.
It can also be used to describe some who is half caucasian and Japanese.
Although more commonly they are used to describe the ones with an unhealthy obsession. You know its an unhealthy obsession when you refuse to watch tv that is not of Japanese origin or in Japanese. Refuse to read something that is not or Japanese origin. Refuse to listen to music that is not J-pop etc. Refusing to do anything not related to Japanese culture.
They can be found almost anywhere. They are commonly found in anime conventions cosplaying as an anime character.
They can also be found slaughtering the language. Usually stringing random Japanese words in an english sentence.
They are often looked down upon for slaughtering the language and culture.
Most wapanese will only know the words "baka" "Kawaii" and "desu"
Most wapanese know very little about Japanese culture.
Yes Wapanese, there is more to the culture than manga, anime and sushi.

An individual, not of Japanese heritage, who is over-influenced by Japanese animation, entertainment, and culture, and emulates them on a regular basis.
Wapanese people are likely to boast ultra-biased opinions concerning the difference between Japan and America; Japan will be considered by wapanese people to be superior in EVERY way, particularly in entertainment (including anime).
The term "wapanese" supposedly is a combination of "white" and "japanese", because as it turns out, the greatest percentage of those wapanese are caucasian (aka : white-skinned).

"It's times like this that I'm glad I'm not wapanese. Since I'm not wapanese, that means I appreciate and admire both Japanese and American culture and entertainment! ^.^ "
