Anime fans should be able to help on this. In Japanese they have honorifics like san, chan, and kun, etc...?

I know what these mean and i more or less know when to use each of them.

the one i'm looking for is the one that means Junior.

I know senpai means senior. but I can never remember the other one. can any of you anime fans out there refresh my memory.

I'm sure i'll recognize it when i see it.
