Assuming you mean in Japanese, as you asked here.... I can think of three off the top of my head.
"Sempai" (先輩)
"Combini" (コンビニ)
"Namba" (難波)
I'll edit this if I can think of any more.

Glad you opened this up. I know it should be "n" since "n" is the only consonant letter in English alphabet that can stand on its own when written in Japanese. I would have wondered about that too in some future time (as soon as I read "tempura") but you had posted this before I had the chance to, and luckily someone has already clarified it. I don't really have an answer but just dropping by to say thanks. :)

Technically, it should be an "n" but it depends on the romanization system you use. Any "n" before a voiced consonant, isn't it? p or b. So, Marc missed Yomiuri Shimbun. mampai? shimpai? gumpai? (I don't think those are "m" in modern spelling). sampan (or is that Chinese?).
It is usually written just "n" or sometimes "n'" (for example shin'bun).
Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_romanization
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization (I usually use revised Hepburn)
There's Gumma-ken in traditional, but I don't think it's in use today (Gunma). But my daughter adds "Ampanman" (children's superhero) and "Kampai!" So, there you go.
