“Wapanese” are decidedly [word]caucasian[/word] individuals who, by means of thoroughly warped postmodern acculturation processes, have come to the decision that it is in their best interest to act as if they were denizens of the nation of [word]Japan[/word]. The term “wapanese” can be accurately though of as an analog to [word]wigger[/word]. A [word]whitey[/word] can be classified as a “Wapanese” if they are in possession of two or more of the following defining traits: 1. Has an unhealthy obsession with shallow, saccharine and intellectually insulting animation shows (also refered to as [word]anime[/word] by the [word]nerd[/word] elite) originally tailored for young Japanese children 2. Operates under the erroneous belief that every aspect of [word]American[/word] culture is vastly inferior to that of Japan’s – even though 99.9% of Wapanese have never had firsthand experience of any sort with their preferred culture (in other words, they’ve never set so much as one foot upon the island(s) of Japan) 3. Halfheartedly studies Japanese language and/or is a part-time practitioner of martial arts 4. Has a sword (samurai swords only, of course) collection 5. Is a Virgin 6. May be afflicted with a terminal case of [word]yellow fever[/word]; however, they constantly fail in their quest for Japanese pootytang 7. Extreme cases may traipse around whilst wearing a “costume” that makes them resemble their favorite [word]anime[/word] characters (this practice is reffered to as [word]cosplay[/word]; cross-dressing and raging homosexuality is not an uncommon component of cosplay. Interestingly, Wapanese are generally though of as “failures” and rejects within their own culture. Social scientists such as myself speculate that it was their failure to gain acceptance within their own culture than has lead many a white [word]geek[/word] to seek out Japan’s culture as a surrogate; however, they’d be shattered to know that the insular and somewhat [word]racist[/word] Japanese society would be even less accepting of them than the people of their true and native culture.

Wapanese munch on imported [word]Pocky[/word] and wash it down with a bottle of Pocari Sweat.

There is a difference between watching [word]anime[/word] and being Wapanese. An anime watcher does just that, he watches anime. The Wapanese watch anime and will think they were born and raised in [word]Japan[/word]. An anime watcher may use a quote now an then from an anime he likes. The Wapanese will try to learn Japanese, but not the correct way, from watching anime. They'll only learn a few words and use them with English, using what is called [word]Japanglish[/word]. An anime watcher will watch what he can on television or maybe buy a video or DVD. The Wapanese will buy untranslated anime and translate them horribly. They will proceed to gripe and complain that their hacked up garbage is better than anything ever made. An anime watcher will do nothing else. Due to a [word]chemical imbalance[/word] in their heads, the Wapanese will denounce their country, stalk [word]Asian[/word] [word]girls[/word], eat nothing but Asian food, grow disgustingly huge and/or pale, live in their parents house until they are 30 or older, and generally be annoyances for the rest of their lives or until they snap out of it, which usually happens around 9th or 10th grade.

[Wapanese] is the term used to describe a person of non-japanese descent (usually white, however some others are lumped in there as well) who is incredibly obsessed with Japanese things. A person who watches [anime] or majors in Japanese language at university is not counted as [wapanese]. These are common behaviours displayed by [wapanese]: 1. Being obsessed with [anime]. The typical [anime] watcher enjoys the shows because they are fun to watch and interesting (not all are for children, that is a myth). However, [wapanese] will take it to an unhealthy level. 2. Their rooms will be filled with japanese things. Anything from [anime] stuff to japanese things such as [Tatami]. A true [wapanese] will have next to nothing non-japanese in their room. 3. Many [wapanese] will believe that Japan is the best country ever and that if they go there they will be adored. However, most [wapanese] don't understand that Japan is a very racist society and they don't like white people very much. 4. They will constantly post things on the internet containing a few of the japanese words they know. These words are usually: [kawaii] and [baka]. These words will be used in an english sentence such as: "You are so [baka]" 5. Many [wapanese] will develope an unhealthy obsession with asian girls/guys. Many of them will refuse to be with someone who isn't japanese. 6. [wapanese] tend to spend all of their time watching [anime], reading [manga] and listening to japanese music. A lot of them are unemployed and live at home with their parents (some are students, some are over 30). The ones who do have jobs, have very poor jobs, such as working at a supermarket. 7. [Wapanese] listen to tons of japanese music but will refuse to listen to anything non-japanese. They also tend to say that non-japanese music is crap while the japanese music is godly. However, most [wapanese] tend to listen to Japanese Pop which can be very, very similar to non-Japanese pop. 8. Many [wapanese] do [cosplay]. However, many normal [anime] watchers [cosplay] as well. However, [wapanese] tend to overdo it and act very elitist at conventions. 9. Most [wapanese] know very little about Japan. They don't look past the anime and whatnot. Most [wapanese] don't know anything about Japan's history. However many [wapanese] will pretend to know what they are talking about, however they tend to be incorrect. 10. [Wapanese] also tend to butcher the language (besides using them in english sentences). A good example is the meaning of [otaku]. The [wapanese] will use it to describe themselves, however most don't realize that [otaku] in Japan means you are very mentally unstable. [Otaku] in Japan are looked down upon and ridiculed.

They believe that everything in Japan is good and everything anywhere else is bad. They don't see the truths before their eyes and refuse to see them. Those who cosplay, dress in japanese fashion, watch anime, etc. aren't considered [wapanese] until the unhealthy obsession is present.

Wannabe Japanese. NOT "white japanese" or anything like that, WANNABE JAPANESE.

This definition doesn't only pertain to white people, idiots. Stop being racist.

5. (Wapanese) (820↑, 164↓)
Those outside of Japanese culture, who, through fandom and such, have somehow gotten the idea that Japan is better than wherever they are living, and try their hardest to be Japanese. This behavior, however, may show in people who aren't Japanese, and simply enjoy the Japanese culture they know, having no desire to be Japanese or idea that Japan is better than where they live. Wapanese are the extreme stereotype of obsession with Japanese culture.

If it's Japanese, I LIKE IT. (Shallow minded?)

See "The Last Samurai"

No, seriously, go see that movie if you want a very good definition. Tom Cruise's character is totally Wapanese.

7. (Wapanese) (607↑, 189↓)
A derogatory term used to describe any person fanatical about the Japanese culture and tries to become Japanese at any expense(and usually failing.) A wapanese person is more acurately described as a social misfit that tries to find belonging by means of the Japanese Culture by entering a group or other groups of people with similar background and common interest(that being the Japanese culture.) This person often finds the Japanese culture to be superior to any other culture(usually in defense of their newly found place of being), and finds great pride in showing off a new word or new words he/she has learned from an anime or a word from a manga he/she translated, and often insults those that DO know Japanese because the speaker doesn't truly know what he/she said.(there are no true curse words in Japanese, btw, just different terms which can be insulting in a situation). This term (wapanese) is often indiscriminately applied to any person whom watch anime in general (a generally mild misnomer as anime is simply a cartoon and should be treated as such. Even though the drawing style and types of activity are mildly different(note that Dragon Ball Z is only loosely an anime as it more poorly animated gibberish that hyperactive 14 year-olds lose pent up energy on.))

Wrong: Anyone who watches anime. Right: White/Caucasian person trying to be Japanese. Most watch [anime], thus explaining the vast hatred towards it.

I watch anime, and that's it. I am not Wapanese. I mean, look, I'm not using any foreign words in this statement, not even Russian words\!

9. (wapanese) (270↑, 57↓)
A non-Japanese person who has developed a severe affection for Japanese exported popular cultural items, particularly [anime], snack foods, toys, video games, and other mass-produced trinkets (while caring little about Japan as a nation or as a people). Such fans are typically young white Americans, which led them to be labeled with this decidedly racially-charged nickname. Although extremely irritating, they are ultimately harmless, as few become proficient enough in the actual Japanese language to actually travel to Japan to become [Jank]s, [McSensei]s, or etc. The average "Wapanese" should only be given the same weight as that of the Radiohead fan, or similar follower of middle-America strobe-flash trends.

To a Wapanese, a box of Pocky chocolate sticks is high cuisine from an alien planet that should be carried around prominiently in the webbing of their rucksacks for all the world to see, rather than a cheap box of oversweet junk food.

Wapanese adj. Of or relating to any people of Anglo-Saxon decent who, by self-declaration, are pure Japanese. Wapanese n. 1. Any person who declares him or herself Japanese without any relation to Japan or the continent of Asia. 2. An individual of Anglo-Saxon decent who declares him or herself pure Japanese after watching a 10 hour Pokemon marathon. 3. Any individual with an unhealthy obsession with Japanese culture without a reasonable amount of knowledge about Japan.

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

Someone generally from North America sometimes Europe. Can be white, black, Hispanic, or even Asian.*Counting all Asian countries other then Japan believe me I know and seen them* Often has a unhealthy obsession with all things Japanese even though they know nothing about Japan it’s self. Most want to live in Japan even though it cost more money to live there then they want to believe. Most love anime but in a unhealthy way and or something Japanese be it a car company or electronic company. *See Sony, Honda, ect* Many dine on Japanese food such as ramen even though it was invented in continental Asia. Most over pay for “pocky” a cheep bread stick like candy that you can buy state side under different names and makes for less and better taste. Most want to be Japanese or marry or just have sex with a Japanese person just because they are Japanese. I would rant more but I don’t care.

Wapanese or Japaniphilles are losers. Just like fangirls who look at or write yaoi stuff all day.

Hey\! Let's get this evolving definition up to date, or a bit more accurate. Don't know how it began, but these days there are wapanese all over the place, not just among the white people of the world. They are to be seen throughout Asia, Southeast Asia, with some even in Africa. And some of them, unfortunately, do actually make their way to Japan, although as hinted elsewhere usually not through any real work or effort of their own--but there are means, one of which is indicated in the Example section, below. (Please don't tell any wapanese about it; there are already too many of them in Japan.) Wapanese - Japanese wannabe, as in "I wannabe Japanese, 'cause it's subarashii\!" A member of a small, spreading subculture, usually someone with only the most superficial, shallow-minded concept of Japan and her culture and language, who decides that it is somehow something to be worshipped, and proceeds to do so by way of the to-be-expected most shallow and silly means, e.g., using language sprinkled with Japanese pop culture words, eating, displaying and talking about [Pocky] and other Japanese junk food, doing Japanese cutesy girls [cosplay], wearing ridiculous makeup in imitation of faddish Japanese girls intentionally wearing ridiculous makeup in order to identify with a certain mod-like, drifting, anti-authoritarian, hedonistic, morally compassless, often suicidal youth subculture, imitation of the Japanese imitation of [gangsta] baggy clothing, obsessed with the shallowest, most empty-headed [anime] such as [Pokemon] and very superficially with subjects such as [ninja] or Japanese calligraphy or martial arts. It should be noted that wapanese are not Japanophiles in the true sense, in that they do not actually study anything or bother to acquire any depth of knowledge about things Japanese. Wapanese are more shallow dabblers and voyeurs. Japanophiles can be a nuisance breed, too, and sometimes dreamy voyeurs, but they are different, usually immersing themselves headlong into one or more aspects of Japanese culture, sometimes losing themselves in it. The Japanohpile may become a professor or a Japanese language or martial arts teacher; the wapanese probably will never amount to anything, because the wapaneseness is just a symptom of his or her drifting cluelessness.

One Japanese school teacher to another: That new ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) is just one more immature, clueless wapanese that Monbusho (the Education Ministry) has sent us. I wish they would hire qualified [EFL] teachers for a change.

a caucasian english-speaking person, usually living in the USA, who thinks that Japanese culture is superior to American culture, even though s/he grew up in America. Also uses japanese in daily conversation, sometimes to replace common english words.

The wapanese think that anything and everything japanese is cool.

15. (wapanese) (96↑, 27↓)
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.

no need for definition- you'll know one when you see one

Litterally "Wannabe Japanese" American slang for anyone who isn't Japanese but wishes they were. Sympoms include: 1)Dissing your country & race. 2)An Excessive J-rock/J-pop/J-metal/J-Tech/J-Goth/J-Rap CD collection, music videos & wall posters. 3)An extencive Japanese slang vocabulary from music, fashion, lifestyles, books, etc. Words like "Visual Kei" "Gothic Lolita" "Ganguro" "Kogal" "Otaku" "Cosplay" "Yaoi" "Doujinshi" "Para-Para" "Parasite singles" & "Con" 4)Being a total geek about Japanese sent fandoms like games & animations & being really really proud about it. 5)If you think that Japanese sounds sexier & that the Japanese are sexier & that they have better taste in everything from music to chewing gum. 6)They tend to know trivial facts beyond slang like Japanese minimum wage & why Halajuku & Shinjuku are the coolest places to visit & they contridict you on your pronounciation.

"My sister is sooo Wapanese\! She sings totmare & Vidoll & Gackt all the time, she has really convincing crossressers pinned to her wall, none of her videos or books are in English, she wont date guys of her own race, she hangs out at Starbucks alot, & she refurs to her sleeping bag as a futon."

Contrary to popular belief, watching anime or reading manga does not make a wapanese. A wapanese s a person who takes it to that level where people look at them and feel a rising urge to punch them. What they are: Mostly caucasians, that believe by watching untranslated japanese cartoons (anime), eating nothing but asian junk food they can buy online ([Pocky], assorted [ramen] and mountains of sweets) and in short, grabbing anything with the slightest trace of Japan, and in turn shunning all western items, believing them to be inferior. A wapanese is a wannabe Japanese person. Often they know little to nothing about Japan (only what they've read), but hold a belief that it is the best country in the world, and harbour deep ambitions about living there, despite being unemployed and living with their parents. What they think: That if indeed they did imigrate to Japan, they would be adored and revered and have women fawning over them. Unlikely, as they are generally vastly annoying (And annoyingly vast). Aso they believe that merely by watching Naruto, they can become Ninja. Habitat: You will generally meet a lot of cool people at anime conventions, who's lives are not ruled by the going on of Tokyo Mew mew etc. but you can always spot the wapanese being a loud, disagreeable asshole, telling british artists that their drawings are not "TRUE MANGA", because they are not japanese. Also noticeable by the dreadful cardboard cosplay, that is drooping and randomly patched with tinfoil. What they could wear: Horrible tight T-shirts with japanese symbols that they don't understand (it could say 'KICK ME' for all they know.), or worse : Hello Kitty, who is in fact a british creation\! Or the afore-mentioned cosplay. In closing, anime and manga are fine, as long as you don't just love the japanese element. I like all comics, and animation. I don't care where it came from\! Wapanese give anime fans a bad name, so shame on them\!

Wapanese: Deep down in my heart, I just know I was meant to be born Japanese. NormalDude: What gives you that idea. Wapanese: They are just the greatest people ever. I have such a deep connection. NormalDude: No you haven't. Wapanese: I entirely do\! Check out my Hello Kitty tattoo\! Kawaii, huh? NormalDude: Hello Kitty's english, man. *Wapanese screams and heads for nearest lasering facility*

18. (Wapanese) (91↑, 39↓)
People (usually [white]) who believe the false notion that it is okay for non-Japanese people to adopt [Japanese] ways (I.E., language and culture). Culture includes, but is not limited to: Food, television ([Anime], sumo matches), type of dress, and celebration of festivals and conventions.

Tom goes to anime and game conventions. He eats sushi, even though he hates it, and he uses Japanese words in everyday language. The sad thing is, they're always the same: Nani, baka, hai, iie, and domo. He probably gets his sentences from a translation service. He's Wapanese.

19. (wapanese) (74↑, 22↓)
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\! ^.^ "

20. (wapanese) (69↑, 19↓)
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.

21. (wapanese) (80↑, 32↓)
A white person who thinks they are not only Japanese, but also that it's the best place to live. They sometimes become offended and bitchy if you tell them the reasons why you don't like Japan. They will even try to argue with you on certain subjects such as why it is ok for the country to be cluttered with perverts.

1.Outside of class, due to their lack of ability, first year Japanese students speak Wapanese with other students instead of Japanese in its entirity. 2. Japanese find it cute when Americans speak Wapanese.

Wapanese: Wapanese, to some people, would mean something like "a white person acting like Japanese", but I come from a country where there are also a growing number of people who mindlessly worship Japan and anything Japanese, to the point of downgrading and hating altogether their point of origin. Let's just say that "Wapanese" are "Wannabe Japanese" What marks a Wapanese from other people? Non-Japanese people who watch anime, read manga and study Japanese culture and language are not Wapanese. Now, let us define this scourge of the modern world, shall we? Wapanese are people who: 1. Are obsessed to a mentally unstable level with anything connected with [Japan], like the Japanese language, Japanese customs, and Japanese cultural fads to the point that they smother themselves with these in order to bury their own origins. For example, a person named "Maria Punzalan", in an attempt to become Japanese, would actually use a Japanese-inspired pseudonym in her fanfics or her shitty art, like "Sakuranomiya Seijunomita". Urgh. How pathetic. 2. They believe that [Japan] is the best country that the world has ever seen. They don't care that Japan views their people If they could, they would shed of their identities and scrape off their skin and names just to be Japanese. A person named John Robert dela Cruz would hate to be named such and would rather be a Japanese high school student named Keitaro Something Miaymoto. And surrounded with girls. 3. The artists among their kind are EXTRAORDINARILY CLOSE-MINDED about other kinds of art. In [Deviantart], there are people who make up second rate imitations of manga who dislike other forms of illustration. If a group of these turds come from, say, a country with a long tradition of comics, they would loathe their native works to no end, snub them and then exalt their chosen manga idols. 4. Do they know anything about Japan, really? No. They may listen to asinine J-pop songs that endlessly moan about love and pink hearted matters, they may pepper their conversations with "[shonen-ai]", "[kawaii]" and "[ganbare]", they may fill their typed words with retarded emoticons like "^_^", and they may make second rate manga art with storylines ripped from some [CLAMP]manga, but THEY ARE IGNORANT about Japanese history, as they are apathetic about their own origins. I have never encountered a Wapanese fangirl who can name Japan's first emperor. 5. They have also unhealthy obsessions with supposedly handsome anime characters that resemble chopsticks painted with faces. They do such in a toxic level that other people who see that they worship some bony asshat drawn on paper would vomit to death. 6. And last but not the least, they act as if they are some bastard mixture of Card Captor Sakura and Inuyasha. They do a lot of mannerisms that resemble those of anime characters, like pouting when they are upset, or making those strange purring noises they think are cute (they've picked up those from anime characters). They could not come to think that those mannerisms, though cute to some, are uttely irritating.

Could we stage a riot against these Wapanese?

A wannabe Japanese person, or someone who is entirely obsessed with anything Japanese. Also known as a Weeaboo. For some reason, they've gotten the idea that Japan and the Japanese are vastly superior to any other culture, including their own. Wapanese have most of the following characteristics: 1. They parade around public places drinking Ramune and eating Pocky, telling everyone within earshot that it's Japanese and oh so good. 2. They buy only Japanese clothing through the internet, or they buy cosplay outfits off of ebay and wear them during events such as Halloween, or even worse, during any day of the year. 3. They claim to be "teaching themselves Japanese" but only know a few words and spell/pronounce them wrong. 4. They use online translators to translate their MySpace profiles to Japanese, so that none of their friends can read it and they can feel smart/superior. Should someone who actually understands Japanese try to read it, they wouldn't understand it either because it was done through a cheap ass translator. 5. They get offended and make excuses (I was tired, I have bad spelling, "whatever") when someone who actually understands Japanese corrects their bad grammar/spelling/pronunciation. 6. They only listen to Japanese music, and worship Japanese bands and singers as if they were gods. They also spend hours at a time watching videos of their favorite Japanese bands "being funny" on YouTube. 7. Their rooms are filled with Japanese things like stuffed animals, Samurai swords, anime, manga and games. Their bedroom walls are covered in pictures of Japanese bands or characters from manga and anime. 8. They name all of their pets after Japanese band members, anime and manga characters. 9. They are obsessed with and chase after Japanese boys and girls, but always fail to get with one. 10. They claim they want to move to and live in Japan, and act as if they are superior just for making that decision. 11. They ask everyone to call them by their Japanese name.

The Wapanese will swear off anything that isn't Japanese. For instance, if you offer them a headphone to listen to some of your music. Wapanese Kid: "No, I only listen to Japanese bands." The snottier they sound about it, the more Wapanese they are.

Note that this does not apply to ALL anime fans, but definately a good portion of them. An anime fan who does the following. a) Calls themself an Otaku and thinks that makes them better than everyone else, not realizing that in Japan it is an insult. If they do it to make fun of themselves, it's fine. b) Thinks they know everything about Japanese culture just from watching anime and reading manga, when in reality, they know jack shit about it. c) Thinks they're superior because they've seen more anime than the stuff on Cartoon Network. d) Thinks that if they go to Japan they'll be accepted do to their intense love of anime, even though in Japanese culture, people who adore anime that much are seen as losers. Not to mention, doesn't realize that Japanese society is not generally that fond of Americans. e) Thinks that America is totally inferior to Japan, even if they have never been there. f) Thinks they know a ton of Japanse from watching subbed anime, even if they can only name a few words.

27. (Wapanese) (30↑, 9↓)
Wapanese, short for "wannabe Japanese" or "White Japanese" depending on who you ask, is a term which describes generally, but not exclusively, white individuals who display a perposterous reverance and obsession with all things Japanese, and believe themselves to be part of Japanese culture. Note: A wapanese is not a Japanophile, who generally displays substantive and factual knowledge about Japan beyond the superficial. Wapanese will generally display one or more of the following traits: 1. Someone who watches [Anime] or reads Manga is not instantly Wapanese. Wapanese display an unhealthy and obsessive level of love for the genre however and watch and talk about it constantly. Wapanese are often attracted to the shallowest Japanese anime such as "[Naruto]", but insult it and they will become defensive as though they were protecting high art. 2. Despite having never set foot in Japan. Wapanese will believe and proclaim that every facet of Japanese culture is superior to all others, particularly American. Whether it is junk food like [Pocky], animation, film, economy, work ethic, respect for this and that, Japan will be better in every way. Wapanese love to harp how much better Japanese music is than American music, despite the fact that they listen to [J-pop], which has the same amount of substance as American pop, meaning none. 3. When watching anime they will claim, even if the voice acting is fine, that the Japanese track is inherently superior and more emotionally engaging. A truly pretentious Wapanese will tell their friends they watched anime without subtitles. Good luck understanding a word they say... 4. Wapanese love to harp on how superior the character of the Japanese people is to others. They will tell you they are more in touch with nature, more respectful of tradition and elders,and a whole list of other cliches they've gathered from anime and sterotypes. 5. Will proudly refer to themselves as "[Otaku]", often naming their club at school something of that nature. They seem to miss the fact that in Japan being an Otaku means you are a sheltered and pathetic person obsessed with trivial pursuits, and that they need help. Re-reading what I just wrote, I actally don't think the Wapanese could have chosen a more fitting name for themselves. 6. Will make attempts to follow Japanese fashion and particularly wear Kimonos. They will usually embarass themselves, and more often than not wear this stuff the wrong way and at the wrong times from what I understand. They will fill their rooms with asian things, notice I say asian and not Japanese, because most Wapanese will buy anything that looks remotely asian and proclaim it to be Japanese (Wrongly). They will make poor attempts to assimilate into Japanese culture by buying Japanese food, and eating sushi, even if they don't actually seem to much like it. 7. Due to their inability to woo women in their own land, male Wapanese delude themselves into thinking that if they went to Japan, Japanese women would flock to them, practically jumping to date and bed them. Wapanese do not seem to understand that Japanese women are not interested in dating introverted, obsessive, and clingy men just because they have a weak understanding of Japan's culture. See [Yellow fever]. Wapanese girls often become obsessed with male characters in anime. It's a sad sight. 8. Often owns a sword (Katana or other Japanese weapon of course) and claim they have studied the Samurai and Ninja and know how to expertly use their blade. Aside from being wrong, they forget that Ninjas and Samurai probably were in a lot better physical shape than them. 9. Frequent users of the ever irritating [Japanglish]. Where they sprinkle english conversations with Japanese words derived from anime (they studied it they will say however). These mainly include hello, goodbye, and inherently fanboy/girl-ish words like [Kawaii] for "cute". 10. Will try and mimic physical motions from Anime. Anime characters generally move in a very exaggerated form and so watching Wapanese do this is rather funny. They will pout, and pull down their eyelid at you and other dumb things. The worst is when they start prancing around as if they were some super ninja, making dumb poses and yelling things. This is when you look away and be glad you are indeed not them, but it's even humiliating to watch from afar. They also have the tendency to repeat words twice as if to make them more spunkily Japanese, like "hi, hi\!" to fellow Wapanese, peace signs and furious giggling are also popular amongst them. They also love anime smileys like ^_^. 11. Will claim to be an expert on some Japanese topic. Mainly stuff like Buddhism/Shinto, Samurai, Ninjas and other "really Japanese" stuff. Their understanding will actually be derived mostly from anime, and despite all their claims of "training" or "meditation", they don't really know anything. 12. Will cosplay. Often the most elaborate costumes seem to be by [Japanophiles], Wapanese tend to throw something together and make themselves look silly. 13. Don't realize that the Japanese would find them equally as sad, if not more so, than we Americans do. 14. The Wapanese trend is most prevelent in junior high/middle school, when things like Dragonball Z and Pokemon are very popular. Many will grow out if it by high school. However, just as many do not, and grow up into full fledged Wapanese. I pity those individuals.

Friend: On the way to class, I saw X dashing down the hall wearing a Naruto headband and yelling something in Japanese. We were all confused as hell. Me: I'd be to, crazy Wapanese.

A person who religiously studies Japanese ure at the expense of all other interests (not to be confused with a person who simply harbors in interest in Japanese ure). Wapanese generally speak only the most commonly used Japanese words in anime, such as "baka". They claim to know how to wield a Japanese sword but obviously don't, claim to know Japanese but don't, are not accepted by the Japanese simply because it is so plainly obvious that they don't know what the hell they're doing, and seriously of Some Guy because they make him look bad since he likes Japanese ure but is in fact not Wapanese. Wapanese are indeed often pale, either extremely large or extremely thin, and make terrible, terrible, fandubs. Curse you, Wapanese people. Curse you.

Some Guy is not Wapanese because he actually knows what he's talking about and gets some sun and exercise regularly

29. (Wapanese) (21↑, 2↓)
A white person who thinks they are Japanese just because they watch anime, read manga and/or know a word or two of Japanese. They fall in love with Japan because of anime, and fall in love with some crazy fashion because it's from Japan. Then they dress in what they think matches the "Pictures I Googled online, desu. (o^_^o)v Kawaii\wapanese\!\!" They apply everything "Japan" into their everyday lives. Their rooms and decorated with anime posters and such. They go to an Asian mall and immerse themselves in other Asian, non-Japanese, practises. And when they go online, they put a common Japanese name as their own and expect people to believe them. They know not to call themselves "-san", "-chan" or "-kun" but use it every opportunity. They hold a peace sign. It works on Asians. But for the Wapanese? No. I'm SE Asian. I like Japanese dramas, think some of the actors are cute and I know I waste a lot of time watching them. But I'm not approaching this in a Wapanese way. I don't quote, especially in a language I can't speak. I don't SERIOUSLY dream of marrying anyone/getting into a career in Japan. I know my parents want me to get a job as a doctor here, where I UNDERSTAND the language\!

A wapanese : Hi\! I'm MagicalPockyUsagi\! Check out my youtube, ne\wapanese\!\!\! i can understand japanese (o^3^o) I'm sooo more kawaiii than you. Watashi wa kawaii desu desu desu\! I'm gonna marry some animated character and have a million Caucasian-Nippojin children\!\!\wapanese\wapanese\!\!\!\! check out the Ameblog i wrote\!

Contraction for 'Wanna Be Japanese' Also used as a contraction for 'White Japanese'. Used to descrive people of Western Decent who share an unusual affinity all things japanese, such things as Anime, Drifting, and those horrid novelty shops. Hold themselves in high regard because of their high knowledge of japanese culture. Viewed by everyone else as try-hards. 80% of Wapanese people learn japanese at some stage in their lives.

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.

A wannabe Japanese person. Many of the definitions found here are somewhat distorted in some way. A wapanese is completely obsessed with Japan, imports pocky and other such Japanese products, and often speaks Japanglish. Someone who watches anime/reads manga is not necessarily a wapanese. Someone who draws "chibi" art is not necessarily a wapanese. Loving Japanese men/women is not necessarily being wapanese, it's actually a paraphilia known as xenophilia.

Yeah, I used to watch Inuyasha a lot, but it's getting a little boring and I stopped watching it. I love chibis\! They're pretty cute, if I do say so myself. And since "chibi" is the name for it, I'm not using the wapanese language of Japanglish. I think I'm a xenophile. Although I'm black, I love Japanese/ Korean/ Filipino/ Chinese/ Vietnamese men but I could care less about imported Japanese products\!

THe word can also apply to [ricer]s, since they have an obsession with Japanese cars and they "modify" them into neon-lighted, over-painted, [Kanji]-decorated, bigass exhaust-pipe, low-chassis monstrosities that can't even go over a speed bump without taking serious damage. And thanks to crappy racing movies like [The Fast and the Furious], we now have a big explosion of backward capped, baggy-pants-wearing nerds who will mutilate otherwise good Japanese cars just to be "the shizzle".

Damn. Look at what that Wapanese did to his mom's Honda Civic. The chassis is scraping against the road, the pink and green paintjob is flaking off, and there are so many headlights installed that it would permanently blind any oncoming traffic.

Also, they go out of there way to accentuate the facta that they are playing Pokemon yellow version on their gameboy color. In reality, these people live in the whiteset families of america and have probably never set foot in japan, let alone any other asian country

Wapanese is a word that has been argued about many many times. It is commonly known as a white person who wants to be japanese. Someone who watches anime, listens to japanese music and draws manga from time to time but also has a social life, bf and respects there own culture like myself can be classed as someone who has interest in the culture. Wapanese on the other hand display some of these unhealthy obsessions: They try to dress harajuku/lolita by applying mountains of makeup and mixing up clothes which makes them look like they are in drag or a wannabe emo. Watches 2 episodes of an anime and instantly becomes obssessed and brags about it to everyone they know. Overuses japanese phrases online and in real life. On youtube they comment japanese music videos with such things as 'omgz ruki looks so kawaii \<3\wapanese\wapanese\!\!'. They add any random japanese people on myspace hoping to make some japanese friends and litters them with japanese phrases. They think the terms 'visual kei' and 'oshare kei' are some kind of religion. If someone in some way insults japan, they themselves also feel insulted. They learn one hiragana/kanji/katakana phrase and begin drawing it all over there books/work... They watch anime such as pokemon and think its 'uber cool'. For the girls there idol is Gwen Stefani. They change there names to some japanese name and tells everyone to start calling them that. They think making the peace sign makes them look japanese. Anything that looks remotely japanese they go mental for, even if its a wall scroll that is in chinese they still go mad for it. I could go on for ages but these are the things i have witnessed in the past in the 'wapanese'.

Guy: Hey just finished watching fushigi yugi, its pretty immense, what do you think? Wapanese: OMGZ thats like THE BEST ANIME EVER, so kawaiii\! isnt tamahome so uber smexi\! Guy: Errr, what did you think to the ending? Wapanese: Well, err i think you need to fill me in, bad memory you see :) Guy: You havent watched it have you... Wapanese: Yeh well but its still proper awesomeeeee\!\!

According to most [wiggers], anyone who watches anime or plays [DDR] is "wapanese", or wannabe Japanese. In reality, a wapanese person is someone who thinks they are incredibly Japanese while not being born there. Wapanese people may or may not watch anime (though most of the time they do). Wapanese people are usually seen eating Japanese food, snacks, and drinks. Some [DDR] players are Wapanese, but not all. Contrary to popular belief, not all Wapanese people are white.

Isn't it funny how wiggers make fun of "wapanese" people for being wannabes, when wiggers are wannabes themselves?

adj. Of or relating to any specific form of behavior, method of attire or grooming. Also thoughts and opinions which are all adulterated and perverted based on over exposure to a limited aspect of Japan's popular culture. The term "popular" in this sense is subject to debate. n. pl. Wapanese 1. An individual who embodies the general characteristics described above. Also known as a "Gaylord". 2. The official language of the Wapanese. It is essentially the english language supplemented by the limited knowledge of Japanese to replace regular english words for no reason whatsoever. Usually it's the result of some half-assed home studies which are supplemented largely by the individual's anime collection.

adj. Guy 1: "You know, Billy's been acting really weird these days. His hairstyle now makes him look like a Dragonball Z reject. When he isn't saying "ne?" at the end of interrogative statements he's too busy stuffing pocky in his mouth and attending anime and cosplay conventions. All whilst striking homoerotic action-poses and washing it all down with pocari sweat." Guy 2: "That's a totally fucking wapanese thing to do. I hope he gets hit by a truck."

A Wapanese is a person (generally caucasian but includes other races, excluding aznz) that tries to act Japanese. These people generally add their very small Japanese vocabulary to English sentances. However, someone who can hold an entire conversation in Japanese while still speaking in English is not Wapanese. Additionally a Wapanese (usually females) try to dress in Japanese Formal Wear (Lolicon and Kimonoes) in the wrong season/situation and typically phail horribly even when worn in the proper time. There are very few people not of Japanese origin that can pull off Lolicon and wearing a Kimono, therefor it is not recommended for anyone not of Japanese origin to try it. Also, anyone who tries to be a know-it-all about Japanese history and culture because they saw a few things in an Anime is in fact ALSO a Wapanese. A person who actually takes the time to read history books and actually STUDY (holy crap, a term most Wapanese have never heard of before) Japanese history and culture is not a Wapanese. Finally, anyone who often uses Chopsticks on "just anything" and think they can use actual Azn weapons even though they have never touched an actual Japanese made weapon is considered a Wapanese. However, someone who uses Chopsticks only on food that was MEANT for Chopsticks is not a Wapanese and someone who has actually learned how to use a Japanese weapon from an actual Japanese person is not a Wapanese. (Go to Youtube and type in "How Aznz use Chopsticks" Have a Nice Day =D ) For further questions, ask my friend "Kuro." an ACTUAL AZN ;D Also all use of "AZN" was instituted by Kuro.

Retarded Wapanese: OMG Josh is so Kawaii, I wanna date him. Actual Azn: *stabs Retarded Wapanese* NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN\! Retarded Wapanese: OMG look at my cool Lolita Clothes\! I look so hot\! Another Retarded Wapanese: OMG look at my Kawaii Kimono\! Actual Azn: *shoots them both* Do... not... do it... again... Retarded Wapanese: OMG the Tokugawa's are such fags, they ruined everything\! Actual Azn: *throws Japanese history book at Wapanese* Read an actual History Book\! Not Samurai Deeper Kyo\! Retarded Wapanese: I'll kill everyone with my awesome Katana\! Actual Azn: *takes the katana and snaps it over his knee* Buy one that costs more than $20 next time. Retarded Wapanese: OMG I'm soooo good with Chopsticks, I use them to eat all of my food\! Actual Azn: *takes Chopsticks and stabs Wapanese in the eye* Only use Chopsticks on food that was meant for them\!

I'm going to start out by saying this, just because you like anime doesn't mean your \<i\>wapanese\</i\> The meaning could be someone from a different culture that has no interest in there own or another's aside for a someone with a Japanese background. They usually mix Japanese words in with English sentence and refuse most things non-Japanese. Wapanese are big fans when it comes to cosplaying but so are anime-fans. There's a difference, anime-fans are creative, original and have fun with cosplaying. Wapanese on the other hand take it seriously and criticizer even particularly good cosplayers. Again, just because one buys untranslated anime doesn't mean there wapanese. I myself have been sent Chinese anime from relatives in China. I watch it big deal. A wapanese will use untranslated anime as a way to learn Japanese.

This isn't an example but I want to say: "Be proud of your culture and stay who you are. If people think your Japanese come up straight and tell them your real background." I'm Chinese and proud, be like me and show your culture\! P.S AGAIN JUST BECAUSE YOU LIKE ANIME DOESN'T CONSIDER YOU WAPANESE\!

insult regarding someone (usually white) who is a fan of japanese culture including anime fans. although people inside japanese fandom make distinctions between who is really wapanese and who isn't, the common perception to those outside of fandom is that anyone inside this fandom is open to the insult.

anime lover: I'm not really wapanese because I'm not obsessed with all things japanese. japophile: I'm not really wapanese because I study japanese history instead of just using japanese words in conversation. baka baka: I'm not really wapanese just super-kawaii because I'm not obsessed with japanese food. pocky man: I'm not really wapanese because I don't pay harajuku girls to follow me around. gwen stefani: I'm not really wapanese because it's not like I pay my harajuku girls to talk to me... right? heyyy, where is everybody? Oh, whew, at least Angel, Music, Love and Baby are still here.

Americans, usually caucasian teenage females, who have an unhealthy obsession towards anime, manga, and/or the Japanese culture in general. Not to be confused with otaku. The main differences between the Wapanese and the otaku are as follows: WAPANESE: Only know a few Japanese words like "kawaii" and "desu" but somehow think that means they're fluent OTAKU: Study the Japanese language (if they even involve themselves with the language at all) and actually know a few useful Japanese words and phrases. (e.g. "Where is the bathroom," "Help me," "Food.") WAPANESE: Watch anime and read manga almost exclusively, only deviating from this trend about once a month, or maybe more if they have school books to read. OTAKU: Watch anime and read manga moreso that an average person, but still read and watch American literature/TV. WAPANESE: Insist that they are budding "mangaka"s, even though they usually have no artistic talent whatsoever. OTAKU: Don't usually draw manga, but the ones who do, do so because they are artistic anyway. WAPANESE: Answer to a Japanese or Japanese-sounding name that sounds nothing like their real name. OTAKU: Answer to their real name.

Wapanese girl: KYAA\! That neko keychain is soooo kawaii\! I want one-desu\! I'm going to give one to my manga character Makiko\! Otaku: ...okay, um, thanks, but - Wapanese girl: *bows* Konnichiwa\! I'm Hikaru\! Otaku: Is that really your name? Wapanese girl: My parents call me Heather, but Hikaru's soooo much prettier, don't you think?\! Otaku: *backs away slowly*

1) The language of [weeaboo]s. 2) Someone who has an unhealthy obsession with [Japan]. Literally 'wannabe Japanese'. They think all [Japanese] people like [anime], [manga], cosplay, etc. Just because I'm American does that mean I am in love with Hanna-Barbera cartoons? No\! So stop acting like all Japanese love anime. [Jesus Christ]. Some signs of being Wapanese are: (Remember these are the symptoms, not the disease.) -Always being in the manga section of bookstores or, more likely, the library. Simply looking at manga and maybe getting a few of your fave series does not equal Wapanese. NOT EQUAL\!\!\! -Thinking that Japan is superior to, um, everything. -Assuming that all Japanese people are EXACTLY like they are portrayed in anime. -Pretending to know everything about Japan and its culture from reading/watching a few manga/anime. -Liking something just because it's Japanese. Someone is not Wapanese if: -They only have bad language skills because they are still learning. -They do not pretend to know everything. -They genuinely like something, not are just infatuated with Japan. -They understand [kimono] and [yukata] are not for everyday wear, nor is [cosplay]. If it's a special occasion, wearing the former is ok. Only wear the latter if: a) It's [Halloween]. b) You are going to something later (i.e. Sakuracon) c) It is a con, or a [costume party]. -Their [playlist] includes at least 50% non-Japanese music.

1) OMG\!\!\! That kimono is super kawaii desu\!\! Neko baka desudesudesu\wapanese\! \>:( (the smiley is not wapanese) 2) Marina is such a wapanese. She refuses to see the bad parts of Japan. I mean if someone in America killed her mom she'd be pissed and sad. If someone from Japan did, she'd probably rape that person. She randomly spazzes out like they do in anime. Jeesh, someone kill it, please.

Through the years, ive come across a growing group of people called the wapanese aka wannabe Japanese. Wapanese is a commonly termed used to describe a person white(commonly the female gender), black(commonly male gender), and rarely Hispanic, and Asians that arent Japanese. They have great distinct liking towards anime, the nation, the people, food(usually sushi), novelty items and their language. Though there most likely is more characteristics. 1. The typical wapanese will be a white young female or the not as common black male gender. 2. The white female gender wapanese commonly say phrases such as kawaii which means cute,(may or may not pronounce the phrases wrong) wish to live or visit japan,wants to be around the japanese all the time, believe that Japan is the greatest country ever,(this is shown through defense towards Japan if they are accused of being a wapanese, as comparing Japan to America using false accusations against America and praising Japan. 3.The black male gender wapanese though do not show the same characteristicts believe the japanese are cool and wish to visit/live there. 4. The female white gender may range from shy to extremely irrating apart from being wapanese. 5. I believe that all wapanese however have succumb to wapanese status through anime. It may be possible that anime have in fact given them false sets of reality of what Japan is really like and that it is in fact and a normal modern society not knowing of the wapanese actual existence and may in fact depending on who they are not like them. 6. Through my observation i believe that in fact anime is the root towards the wapanese, shown as an influence to them. There may possibly be millions of wapanese out there as anime makes its way across america which will cause the wapanese. 7. Also commonly disliked by normal people due to their rant/behavior and depending on which gender they are may be outcast. 8. Will have an open discussion about anime japan and anything related to japan. And while the wapanese come in many different shapes and forms the most important thing to remember is to keep these rules in mind.

That girl definitely was wapanese when she explained to the class what her japanese nickname meant.

people who add to the Wapanese definition in a pathetic attempt to prove that while Wapanese people exist, they themselves aren't Wapanese even though they display all the traits. Common excuses are that they know actual Japanese people, only use chopsticks on food it's MEANT to be eaten with, and that they actually study Japanese history instead of pretending to learn it from Anime. Of course they still watch Anime too, but the excuse there is that it's only the good Anime or they don't watch it to an "unhealthy" level. Somehow it's hard for them to just admit they are Wapanese, be happy with who they are, and move on.

Wapanese are non-japanese who believe that japan is better than their own country in just about every way. They are generally outcasts of society so they try to fit into other cultures. Some signs of a wap are: 1. They are always at your local Barnes and Nobles or other book store in the "manga" section. They usually are sitting on the floor either reading by themselves or talking about the books with their friends. 2. They try to use japanese words in their everyday language to try to impress people such as ending people's names with "san" 3.Their rooms are usually always covered in anime wall scrolls and posters. They also often have a large toy and samurai sword collection. 4. Most of them wear anime t-shirts and other clothing items that relate to japanese cultures. Some examples are wooden clogs and floral pattern dresses. 5. Most of them act either really depressed or really hyper. The hyper ones are usually really loud and obnoxious. They also tend to pretend sword fight or act out anime scenes. 6. They are constantly watching anime, usually for hours. 7.They enjoy "cosplay" or dressing up as their favorite anime characters. They usually do this at "cons" or conventions. 8. At the conventions they spend hundreds of dollars on stuffed characters, figures, wall scrolls and other garbage. 9. They are constantly posing for and taking pictures. usually with stupid facial expressions. 10. Usually are eating and drinking imported snacks and drinks. 11. Are really strange looking 12. Are virgins And worst of all they think that japanese are superior to their own race.

for examples of these wapanese douchebags look in the manga section of your local book store

This means a person who wishes so badly to be japanese, but only watch's anime, think about being a harajuku girl/boy, and that japan is the best. But, if you watch anime, are realated to someone japanese, learnt how to speak enough to be polite and talk in a convo, learnt the history, dress which ever jap style you like (remembering that harajuku is not everyday) and are proud of what you are, Then you are not a wapanese.

Person 1= is from one culture or 2, but not from japan, obssessed with japan, only knows crappy words from anime translations and eats jap food and think they are japanese are a wapanese. Person 2= comes from one or 2 backgrounds and has one japanese person in the family or more, watches aniem, helps, know the history, speaks 5/10, draws, dresses japanese. Is not a wapanese. Why? because person 2 is realted to someone jap. Trust me there are people like this.

59. (wapanese) (8↑, 8↓)
A Caucasian person with an unhealthy obsession with the Japanese culture. They worship an idealized thought of the nation, and typically aspire to move there. They take cannibalized form of Japanese speech, integrate it into English, and consider themselves more kvlt and Asian than anyone else. Common hallmarks of a wapanese: excessively pale, has a fetish for homosexual Japanese males, collects swords, claims to be a master at martial arts, eats Pocky, dines at Asian restaurants whenever possible, lives and breathes anime, does their own translations horribly, refuse to listen to anything but Japanese music, claim said music is better than any Western music, and lives on manga forums.

A lot of the people at anime conventions are wapanese.

Wapanese is a derogatory term used by those in the [Anime] and [Manga] fan community (although it is used in the [Tokusatsu] fan community as well, but far less so) to refer to those within the community who seem (or who obviously are) obsessed with all things Japan/Japanese. Many traits considered to be 'Wapanese' include (but are not limited to): -Attempt's to interject various common Japanese words into their everyday speech, regardless if the listener can under the words or not. The most common words used are '[Kawaii]", "[Desu]", "[Baka]" as well as various [Honorifics] such as [San], [Sama], [Chan], [Kun] and so on. -The preference of Japanese media (Music, Movies, TV shows...) over that of their local media. In some extreme cases they will not Listen to/Watch/Read anything that is not Japanese. -Buying and Importing large amounts of goods from japan, ranging from genuine collectibles to [foodstuffs], gaming software, Photobooks, Posters and the like relating to a liked Anime/Manga/J-Media property or celebrity. -Maintains that Japan/The Japanese people are far superior to their own Country/People despite lack of first hand knowledge. Often mistakenly believes the [Xenophobic] and still somewhat [Racist] Japanese society would accept them as one of there own. -Has a preference for dating Japanese women/men. (Note: Having preference for Asian women/men in general is NOT a Wapanese trait) . -[Cosplay]s even when not at conventions or other similar events.

Example of a Wapanese interjecting common Japanese words into a Conversation: "Oh, Michel-San, that shirt is so Kawaii\! Ore Suki\!"

Is basically a very nasty word for defining western people who like japanese stuff such as anime, decora/lolita fashion and J-Pop. And they are scrutinized for liking hello kitty and pokemon although most young girls have grown up with the merchandise from both brands.

-'Hey what's your style?' -'Oh it's decora...it's from japan\!' -'OMG you're so wapanese\! that's so lame\!' -*cries*

The Wapanese are an [ethnic minority] scattered throughout parts of Western [Europe] and the [United States of Canada]. The Wapanese, or "MaSsIvE oTaKu ^_^" as they sometimes refer to themselves, are an ethnic minority, but usually emerge from rich white families that originate from Western Europe. These Wapanese reject their race and common sense by deciding they will become [Japanese]. These Wapanese people spend thousands of dollars buying cheap garbage from Japan and spend most of their time watching anime. The Wapanese, throughout their 3 years of existance, have been persecuted. Unlike other persecuted minorities, nobody missed them.

Regard the Wapanese female over [yonder]. She is overweight and drooling over some [yaoi] [animu] [buttsecks].

Anyone of the people here who sat here and thought of a defination, while trying to defend the fact that just because they watch anime, doesn't mean they are an Otaku.

There are obviously a lot of Wapanese-folk postin' on here\!

64. (wapanese) (31↑, 38↓)
Term referring to caucasian American who chooses to adopt the (perceived) cultural, aesthetic & social trappings of japanese society. The word originally derived by analogy with [wigger] ( = "white" + "nigger"). Generally used as a term of disparagement by the sort of white Americans who - touchingly - never seem even to consider why it is that half their own youth population seem so desperate to be japanese, black, chicano, euro, virtual. Anything, indeed, rather than white American. Natives of the world's other 200-odd countries find the social phenomenon somewhat less confusing.

Yuhuhuhhh - check that Wapanese faggut ovur thar - whut a dumb-ass.

65. (wapanese) (37↑, 45↓)
A term used to describe a white person who thinks they are Japanese despite never having been to Japan. Ironically, this term is often used by wiggers, who are white kids that think they're black street kids despite having been raised in the suburbs rather than the ghetto.

Some wapanese are cool guys.

1. White Japanese--someone who is white but was born in Japan and/or grew up there. 2. Wannabe Japanese--most likely an [American] whose life is based on anime, manga, and ridiculing people who go to [Abercrombie] and "waste" their money on 100 dollar flip-flops, when they spend all their money on [Japanese] Kimonos that aren't even fucking real\! They vigorously study the Japanese language, and often says stuff like "baka", "kisama", etc and some even say stuff like "oro", which is a completely retarded term that [Rurouni Kenshin], some gay-ass Samurai uses on the kids show "Rurouni Kenshin". They seriously base their entire life on trying to be Japanese, while they've never even been to Japan. Japanese Americans think they are a bunch od idiots and posers and hate their guts, because those Wapanese are being RACIST\!\!\! Being Japanese isn't about watching anime (that was created by the Japanese to entertain kids--I was raised in Japan and stuff like "InuYasha", "Rurouni Kenshin", "One Piece"--they were ALL POPULAR WHEN I WAS SEVEN-YEARS-OLD) when you're like, 17, saying weird [Japanese] phrases with [American] accents, trying to make up own fake-Japanese phrases like "nano" (which is a interpretation of "nani"--recently abolished when [iPod Nano] came out).

Wapanese: Konichiwa, I love Japan\! I wanna go to Japan and be Japanese\! Japanese American: WTF\! You guys are really insulting, you know that? Wapanese (shocked): Oro? Japanese American: Go die, racist\!

A highly derogatory term similar to [wigger] that pertains to any person, usually Caucasian, who esteems Japanese culture. Many people hold backward views of these individuals; they immediately associate them with anim&\#233; and hentai. This is not the case, however; it is instead an example of how intolerant people are. Generally, people think 'Wapanese' are young males under the age of twenty. People tend to think that these individuals live with their parents until their thirties... which I believe is a disgusting generalization. The 'Wapanese' (which is a contraction for White Japanese or Wanna Be Japanese) simply feel that Japanese culture is intriguing. Many do not, as the populace stereotype, discard their heritage arbitrarily. Is a person of British decent who wants to learn Japanese, knowing that it will take years or decades, Wapanese if they eat traditional British food and use conversational English in their daily lives? Would one label them 'Wapanese' if they also enjoy watching anim&\#233; and listening to J-Pop for the simple reason they consider it appealing? The term 'Wapanese' is a slur used by insecure people to describe other people in cultural limbo. It is an example of the blatant stupidity people carry in their heads. 'Wapanese' is simply a cultural preference, if you may. It is an example of the narrow-mindedness many people posses.

'Wapanese' is a disgusting stereotype, alike to the notion that all Caucasian people who listen to hip-hop are wiggers. Both are grossly politically incorrect.

Okay, first off, anime is by far not "little kid animation" as some of the afformentioned definitions of Wapenese describe. Anime is in fact of higher quality than American animation, and contains notably 1) a plot; 2)a soundtrack that can be enjoyed; 3)character shading. Just because it is animated doesn't make it crap, f00. While Wapanese kiddos are generally social outcast who are fat, pimply, and greesy (oh, and think hentai is sexually stimulating), there are people interested in Japan or anime who are in fact, not Wapanese. Wapanese is what Wapanese people call "otaku," which is an incorrect definition of the word (otaku means house).

Anyhow, a Wapanese is in fact a white kid who thinks that he is Japanese, or follows a majority of these traits: 1. Believes that he or she will marry a very hot Japanese man or woman. 2. Cosplays, ie. dresses as an anime character. 3. Pays money to go to an Anime Convention. 4 Uses Japanese words or phrases in internet speak or everyday life, even though he or she can't understand, read, or whatever Japanese. 5. Believe that they aren't white, but in fact, are. (Um...okay)

Word used by narrow-minded, usually popular, usually white male high school student (who, coincidently, usually try to be black), to describe people who like anime. People who use this term usually use it because it's "un-cool" to like anime, because it's 'kids stuff'. These people have never sat down and watched an actually good anime, such as Evangelion, Hellsing, X/1999, Cowboy Bebop, or Trigun. Can usually be spotted by their skate punk clothes, shaved head, and *coughtinydickcough*.
