Honorifics: San is a formal and polite honorific added to people's name, it means Mr/Mrs. Sama is the most formal and polite honorific for names, normally used toward the people who we have great respect like toward a high ranking member or butlers toward their masters. Kun is a honorific for younger people and is mostly used for boys, even close female friends can call close male friends with kun like in World trigger, Chika-kun calls Yuma-kun and Osamu-kun with kun despite that she is younger than them. Chan is a honorific that shows closeness and is normally used for girls to show closeness or affection. Dono is a japanese honorific with high respect, it's respect level is higher that san and below sama. Ue is a honorific that is very formal and it is very rarely used, mostly only people of higher class noblity or higher class use it. Senpai is a honorific used for upperclass people, like if you are in your 1st year and other person is 2nd person it is used in this time. Sensei is used for school teachers or doctors and shishou is a way to refer your master in some works like martial arts.
The ways of saying I in japanese: Watashi is used by both males and females, for females it is used both in formal and informal situations, but for male it is always formal. Watakushi is more formal than Watashi and is the most formal way of I, normal people who use it are butlers or people of higher class. Boku is semi-formal way of saying I and it is a humble of saying I, most people who use it are young boys, but you might see tomboys use it too, like Sera Masumi-kun from detective conan. Ore is an informal way of I that is masculine and can be seen rude depending on situation, in speaking with family or friends it only has a familiar meaning, this is mostly used by males, but you might see females use it too in anime, but it is rather rare. Washi is a formal/informal way of I that is mostly used by older males, even most of those who used Ore when they were younger started using Washi when they got older, although it is used by males, you might see females use it in anime too, but it is rare. Atashi is informal version of Watashi and is normally used by girls, though I heard once a male use it too, Chudelkin no yaro from Sword art online. Jibun is a formal/informal way of saying I, it is mostly used for a possessive thing but may used for saying I too, it is gender-neutral and most people who use this for saying I are military officers, it can also be used for saying you in an informal way. Ware is a very formal way of saying I, it is old-fashioned and it is nowdays only used in stories, people who use Ware are gods, kings or immortal things of great power and importance. Waga is a very formal way of saying I, it is old-fashioned and it means Our, and is used mostly as a possessive pronoun, but only on somethings like Waga kuni (Our country) or Waga sha (Our company), though it seems like it can be used for I too, from digimon animes, digimons who have had a long time of life used it for saying I. Uchi is an informal way of saying I, it is used for saying a possessive thing, but might be used for saying I too, this is mostly used by females. Using a person's own name to call themself is an informal way and is cute and childish, children and young women mostly use this. Oira is an informal way which is used by males, it is similar to Ore but more casual and shows a rural background. Ora is the same is Oira but more rural.
