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 animé 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 animé 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.

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.

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

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)
.
-Cosplays 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!"

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!

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.
80% of the people who have contributed to the definition of Wapanese.
