This is a term that means a white person who wishes they were Japanese and in particular there is the subtext of an Anime fanatic. There are a lot of them in the Mall of America and I ran into this one today:
Monokuma from Danganronpa is who this person is supposed to be. He is a villain who makes a bunch of high school kids participate in the sort of elimination competition one associates with reality television of a dozen years ago (I Love New York) and the eliminated are killed in that setting. I recognized him because I bought a stuffed animal toy of this character in an Addison, Texas shop called "Anime Pop" for a friend's young son on a whim in maybe 2014 without realizing the adult nature of the cartoon at the time.
