Obviously not a Japanophile, because they could never type the right keywords into google to find anything. Either that, or a JE fan. Who knows? ]
2. Japanophile 510 up, 143 down love it hate it
Often bears similarities to a nerd a Japanophile is someone who
1. Thinks Japan is the greatest country/culture in the world.
If you want to wear a suit, don’t know what retirement is, and have a high probability of killing yourself instead of kililng someone else…. mmm maybe.
2. Tries to learn the japanese language simply by watching animes and repeats lines of it later on to attempt at impressing someone, they usually get the word wrong as well
Yes perhaps, but that’s better than people that know jack fucking squat poo poo.
3. Has or would like to go out in cos play looking like a complete idiot dressed up as their favorite anime or RPG character
Has not, though I am the spitting image of D (Vampire Hunter D).
4. Thinks every female in Japan is “innocent” or “shy”
Next to me everything looks innocent or shy. I ain’t joking.
5. Is pale and overweight
Pale hai, overweight nai.
6. Spends most of there time online typically playing RPGs such as Ragnarok or Final Fantasy
Never played em, got friends that did though. Biggest RPG is life btw.
7. Rarely leaves the house
Exactly, why would I want to mingle with people that can’t spell and can’t google?
8. Spends a good 18 hours each week watching animes and if they recently bought a series will watch the lot in one go
Everyone knows anime is soooo 20th century. lol
9. Wants to go to Japan to live there forever and possibly marry an Asian woman, they seem to belive Japanese women are easy to pick up.
Eh… while I’m actually accused of being a feckin lesbian simply because I am employed in IT, I prefer men. Not put off by Japanese men either, but as you know, they have an even bigger problem than white boys with small dicks.
10. Spends a good length of time on foreign sites and downloads animes from the internet whether there in English or not.
… Which part of the internet is actually interesting when it offers something Japanese in English. That’s loosah!
11. Buys anime magazines to see what the latest “hot” anime is so they can go out and purchase it.
What’s hot about Anime? I prefer fine Japanese man-ass. Sue me.
12. Has or would like to purchase swords from Japan to try and improve there already stupid image
Perhaps you should learn the proper name.
13. Tries to hangout with other asians wheteher they are friends with them or not because “all asians are cool” they repeat this line often, and if they see an asian walking by them in the street they will either stare at them or talk about them for ages “… more… get this def on a mug Mug by Geek ,Japanophile, loser what’s the difference?

I don’t think she reads my blog. *coughs*. I mean, while not to let you down or anything. h00mins are h00mins. Have or have not the weird shaped eyes.
3. japanophile 205 up, 51 down love it hate it
A non-Japanese person who has a near-indescrimate love of all things from Japan. Japanophiles watch anime religiously, import overpriced novelty items from Japan, collect samurai swords, play untranslated Japanese video games, eat large amounts of Japanese food, rave about how Japanese culture is superior to every other culture on the planet, etc.
In what way is it superior when people over there are whacking themselves faster than you can blink? Could never reconcile myself with that part. Nor could I ever accept their bathrooms. Besides they pretty much island people. Am not much a fan of island people for the reason most of them don’t have the common decency to speak english or pig-latin. Both of which, I could understand just fine. I watch Johnny’s religiously, definitely superior masturbation tools.
See also wapanese, egg, and otaku.
The japanophile believed that a samurai sword could cut through solid steel like a blowtorch through butter.

4. japanophile 109 up, 38 down love it hate it
I know one of these. They may, on several occasions during the course of one week, be spotted:
- wearing several different shirts with kanji or anime characters on them
- watching hours upon hours upon hours upon hours of anime and AMVs
- talking about all of the greatest “Japanese music” songs
- trying to draw manga but 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 arts and 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 s…

Anime .. *sighs*. That’s basically a Japanophile “halfling”. HANBUN.
5. japanophile 98 up, 55 down love it hate it
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)

Waw, what little this knows of what’s out there.
6. japanophile 98 up, 59 down love it hate it
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.

What’s Gwen Stefani got to do with this? I’m very sorry this person wants to die.
7. Japanophile 73 up, 35 down love it hate it
An alternative to Wapanese. This is simply a defintion for someone who appreciates things related to Japan. Similar to a xenophile.
Um Japanese people are Xenophiles. Japanophiles are the people who kind of have taken a liking to the island peoples.
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?”
I don’t read comics. Ever. I prefer words. Or dirty pictures of Yaoi manga. Whichever one is just fine by me.
What’s with those people and anime? It’s just one part of Japan, and the “Japanophiles” described only learned cuss words from it. Obviously people should know the existence of JE, D-Boys and Ikimonogakari.
Yeah; for a b/s dictionary like the urban one, they’d better learn the correct b/s to be in there. The focus on anime on that entry is just too much.

I don’t know, but don’t you get the impression that all in all, those definitions attempt to describe your average teenage self-called Japanophile? I am quite a bit into anime (that’s actually how it all started for me I guess) and into manga, but I can still tell the difference. I might call myself Japanophile because I allot them and their uses a bigger portion of my leisure time than I do with other nations, but that’s all. There are so many other things in life that interest me.
Adolescence. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it certainly wasn’t the age of wisdom!
