I’d heard of this, but hadn’t checked it out- seems interesting so far. “Chan” is an honorific added after someone’s name, like -san, sama, etc, and it’s super casual/familiar, so I guess it’s common to also shorten the person’s name when using it as well- just like Midoriya did with Bakugo in My Hero- Bakugo’s actual first name is Katsuki, so Midoriya called him Ka-chan (just using the first syllable and adding chan)- so here in a like manner, Wakana became Wa-chan

The Japanese naming conventions and rules are so complicated, I'm glad you're here to explain it

I remember having to help put up a huge display with all of those dolls out at school for Girls Day every year when I was a kid, they have like full outfits, thrones, tiny tables with meals cabinets and everything. It's crazy lmao

Another recent example that you probably didn’t understand was in the most recent Steins Gate 0- Mayuri called Kaguri “Kaguri-san” and Kaguri corrected her to make her call her “Kaguri-chan,” -san being more of a default/general honorific, while -chan would indicate a closer/more endeared relationship
