In any case, sometimes waifu is used to refer to male interests by female anime fans as well. It is strange that the online otaku culture adopted this word instead of the Japanese word hazu to refer to this relationship. There is a word for male characters female anime fans love: husbando. Waifu refers to a fictional character an anime fan considers a wife or husband. However, the words were in the Japanese lexicon and used by anime long before this popularization. The anime Azumanga Daioh is thought to be one of the anime that popularized the use of the word waifu (Waifu, 2010). These words were slowly picked up by American anime/manga fans and were used to refer to their favorite fictional characters. Husband became hazu (Stanlaw, 2004 Rebick & Takenade, 2006). Of course, the words changed slightly in pronunciation. Likewise, the word for husband, shujin or danna, translate roughly to “master.” Because these words fail to match their relationship, many couples adapted the English words husband and wife.

Dynamics between husband and wife continued to change in ways that made the tradition way of referring to a woman as a wife offensive to young couples. Waifu is an English loanword that appeared in the Japanese lexicon around the early 1980s. However, waifu has a longer history outside of otaku culture. The oldest entry for mai waifu appears in the Urban Dictionary in April 2, 2007. Google records the first significant appearance of the word waifu in November 2007 (Google Trends, n.d.).
