Japanese Honorifics: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', Kagome initially calls Sango "Sango-san" during their first conversation, but Sango suggests that she just call her "Sango." Afterward, the two use "-chan" on each other. Miroku uses "-dono" for pretty much every woman he meets [[First-Name Basis|except for Sango]]. Inuyasha, as the resident [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], uses honorifics for no one, but does call Kaede and Myouga "Kaede-baabaa" and "Myouga-jiijii," which in both cases is a rude comment on their age (Kaede lampshades the rudeness); Kagome uses the more affectionate "Kaede-baachan" and "Myouga-jiichan," roughly equivalent to calling them "Grandma Kaede" and "Grandpa Myouga."

* In ''[[Nagasarete Airantou]]'', Kagami (a 27-year old woman with a very girly mind) insists the teenage Ikuto call her Kagami-chan, actually attacking him when he refers to her as Kagami-san. This is to contrast her with her far more mature eleven-year-old daughter.

* In ''[[Paprika]]'', Atsuko Chiba claims to be annoyed when Tokita addresses her as At-chan. Although one initially assumes that it's because such a form of address is way too intimate between co-workers, it later turns out that {{spoiler|it's because she herself is in love with him.}}

* [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]: Metaknight addresses Escargon (and Kirby in earlier episodes) with -dono.
