What does chan, san, kun, sama, obasama, etc. mean?

Question:


I see these after names in manga/anime/Japanese culture. I know that some are used for superiority, i.e. sensei for teacher, but what do the others mean?

Answer:


-chan: close girlfriend
-san: not close girlfriend or older person
-kun: close boyfriend
-sama: so important person like the emperor

There are so many usage. I just tell you typically one.
