      TLDR: Older Brother
      A little more detail if you like-
      Onii can end with 3 different Japanese honourifics, -San, -Chan, or -Sama.
      -San is the basic ending for the basic big bro.
      -Chan is a more compassionate ending for Onii if you really love your big brother and feel emotionally attached to him greatly
      -Sama is a bit of a formal ending for big brother, nothing too special.

          A strikingly sexy male friend, who all girls fawn over. A word used in replacement for the male friends name whom you drool over so dearly. In Japanese, Onii-chan means older brother, and is a title of respect and in some cases, resentment. Onii-chan is a word commonly used during [weaboos] climaxing over hot characters in their favourite [anime]
