How does Senpai mean?
Senpai (sometimes spelled sempai) is a colloquial term for someone you wish to catch the attention of, whether it’s someone you respect and want to be friends with or someone you’re interested in dating.
In 2004, a user defined the term “an upperclassman” in Urban Dictionary, marking the term’s debut. Other definitions have subsequently been added, and they include things like “someone older than you,” “someone you look up to,” “mentor,” “senior,” and “an older person you adore.” More are available.
Which is unfortunate since, as KnowYourMeme informs us, it’s all about attracting the attention of senpai. Characters vying for a senpai’s love or attention are common in anime and manga, and sayings about getting a senpai’s attention have become catchphrases.
Senpai, however, has a more limited range of meaning in the world of published, edited English language. Usually, a mentor is meant:

This dictionary defines sensei as “a teacher or instructor usually of Japanese martial arts (such as karate or judo),” thus it’s possible that the phrase is on its way to joining sensei. The word sensei appears in English for the first time in 1968. The term “teacher” or “master” is used more extensively in Japanese. Like sensei, the term “senpai” is used in English to refer to someone who instructs others in religion, particularly Buddhism and martial arts. In those settings, the term “sensei” designates a person of a higher level than “senpai.”
A kohai is positioned beneath a senpai. Senpai is frequently contrasted with kohai, which is commonly rendered as “junior” or “protg”:
Swift, who was selected 12th overall in the 2004 NBA draft out of high school, has assumed the role of senpai (senior) to the kohai (junior) Tyler in the team’s Japanese group dynamics. Swift played for Hill in Seattle at the age of 19, after being selected 12th overall.
Finally, there is sempai-kohai, a cornerstone of Japanese culture, which establishes rules for the interaction between a senior mentor (sempai) and his junior student (kohai). This meant for years that rookies would not compete with veterans for slots on the power play. Whether or not they were open, they felt compelled to pass to their more experienced teammates.
Connery looks like Obiwan Kenobi, and that’s exactly how he portrays himself: as the all-knowing senpai to Snipes’ callow kohai. He has a sharp gray beard, monk-style spikey bangs, and immaculate black outfits that might have been bought at the Zen couture section of Armani of Tokyo.
Senpai is frequently glossed in context, which shows that it has not yet become a fully naturalized member of the English language.
