San In Japaneese as per wiki....
The English titles of "Mr", "Mrs", "Miss", "Ms" are all irrelevant as all people are referred to by the suffix -san (さん?). The more polite -sama (様?)
suffix is used only in certain contexts with people who are superior in
social standing to you, and is also gender-neutral in usage. The most
polite suffix -dono (殿?) usually, but not always, refers to males, and is rarely used in modern speech. Both -sama (様?) and -dono (殿?) should be used with caution, and only with more than basic understanding of Japanese social structures.
