- trying to draw mangabut doing a really terrible job

- trying to impress Japanese people with their vast knowledge of the person's home country

- wanting eagerly to be included in any conversation involving anime

- calling self an otaku

- insisting on using chopsticks and talking about how skilled they are with chopsticks

- talking about martial artsand how they are skilled in it

- eating sushi/other japanese food and talking about it a lot, and making sure people see them eating it

And the big one...

Saying stupid, random phrases from animes to make it seem like they know Japanese.

They actually think you are impressed by this.

They have no real idea about how to speak the language but they pretend to.

Oh, and adding - sanor other suffixes to names in real life and online.

Most of the time japanophiles know very little about anime, manga and overall japanese culture and put on the act to impress others who are more knowledgeable. They may have low self-esteem.

Someone completely obsessed with Japanese culture.

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

Can also verge on extremely annoying.

Girl 1: That person is sooooo being a Gwen Stefani

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

6.

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)

See narutard, otaku, goth, geek

7.

An alternative to Wapanese. This is simply a defintion for someone who appreciates things related to Japan. Similar to a xenophile.

It's also considored an insult to critisize people who refuse to read American comics, instead of just manga. Likewise with cartoons as opposed to anime.

"... She doesn't take an interest in anything I show her, unless it's Japanese."

Pyschiatrist: ".. So she's a Japanophile?"
