Senpai or Sempai

Senior Student.


In Japan, the relationship between senpai (先輩, "senior") and kōhai (後輩, "junior") is an informal hierarchical interpersonal relationship found in organizations, associations, clubs, businesses, and schools. The concept has its roots in Confucian teaching, and has developed a distinguished Japanese style, ultimately becoming part of Japanese culture.
