Yep, by Mamoru calling Usagi, Usako without any suffix it displays a sign of intermacy. ^^ I imagine if someone tried it they would of gotten a nice slap.

Also if the person can be seen as a family relative but isn't really you can use there name plus the honorific for that family person.
ex: and older girl whom you feel like a sister to but aren't you could also call
[name]-nee san
(can use chan instead of san if very close)
for an older brother type
[name]- nii san
same for uncle and aunts types
uncle [name]-ji san
aunt [name]-ba san
elderly people can be called obaasan [grandma] or ojiisan [grandpa]

GS Sailor Charon So...if your friend is a boy, and he's younger than you, you'd call him, (whatever)-kun?
And if you're talking to, say a girl older than you, you can call them either, chan, san, Sama or Dono?
And another thing...what is ko used for? question

I think....and its kinda a guess because I was to lazy to go get the book....that its a way to address a child. I'm not sure if its rude or not, kinda like refering to someone as [name]-chibi. A reference to littleness. But once again I am not completly sure about that.

And another thing...what is ko used for? question Well if you read Triton's thing you would of gotten you're awnser. o-o; -kun : is used mainly towards mainly, mainly males who are younger than you, if they are the same age as you or if you are adressing a young child. Teachers refer to their students as -Kun. It is sometimes used for females as well. BUT! If the person is you're friend you commonly use -Chan -San : Mainly for anyones last name, you always write it would the last name; Aino-San. Its like Mr and Mrs. -Sama : Basically this means lord, you can use it on anyone. -Dono : Dono is the same as above.

My friend Mako-chan would know a lot more about Japanese terms and sayings. She used to be the original Sailor Jupiter here, I wonder if she is still around?

I'm actually interested more in Kansai-ben. Sailor Erebus's host is from Osaka, and speaks Kansai-ben rather frequently. She, along with my other characters, tends to have a rather idiosyncratic speech style.
I'm also trying to figure out exactly how the main Senshi would address the Prophet herself. Her name is not learned until near the end of Stars, so she is called by "Prophet" or "Prophet Erebus" So far I've mostly got them referring to her by "Prophet-sama" or in the case of Setsuna, "Erebus-san" The Prophet herself does not use honorifics for anyone.
