-others-
Bishounen - This means 'beautiful boy' or 'beautiful young man'
Shoujo - Girl
Onna-gata - Female impersonator: this term is used in Kabuki, a form of traditional Japanese stage drama, for male actors who portrayed female roles in the play (women weren't allowed to act on stage back then)
Onna-jane - not female
Onna-otoko - a term used to refer to males who have distinct physical features similar to those of females; usually the facial features and body structure

Shiseiji - b*****d
Abazureo'na - b***h
Baka - Idiot
Kaitou - Thief
Miko - Priestess
Otaku - This literally means 'home' in Japanese, but it can also mean 'fanatic'. This is what most anime fans like to call themselves.
Oyabun - Boss
-endings-
-sama - This is put on the end of names of very important people, or people that you really look up to. This is more polite than using 'san'. ^_^
-san - This is what you'll most likely be putting on the ends of people's names. In Japan, we usually call people by their LAST name, with -san on the end, but sometimes you'll see people putting it on the end of first names to be a little less formal. This works for both males and female's names. Roughly translates as 'Mr.' or 'Ms.'.
-kun : male familiar. He is probably your age or younger and you know him well.
-chan : female familiar. Also slightly diminutive. Those whose names you add -chan to are also good friends, probably your age or younger. Also used for animals. Usually this is used with girls.
-sempai : an upperclassman in your school or other social structure. Most often used in school settings, though.
-sama : respectful title
Often translated as 'Sir', 'Lady', 'Prince', 'Queen', etc. Used when addressing letters, as well.
-sensei : teacher
Teachers are well respected in Japan, so this title is very meaningful. Also used for doctors or anyone who is very good in their field.
