"Weeaboo" is a slang term for a person obsessively fixated on Japanese culture, especially anime, often to the point of social awkwardness. It emerged in the mid-2000s on online forums, replacing the earlier term "wapanese" ("wannabe Japanese") after being popularized on sites like 4chan. The term is used in informal, mocking, or teasing contexts to criticize someone's intense fandom or perceived cultural appropriation. It is mildly derogatory, context-dependent, and usually humorous rather than highly offensive.
