"Obachan" is a Japanese term that translates to "grandmother" or "old lady." It is a respectful and affectionate way to refer to an elderly woman in Japanese culture. The term is commonly used to address or talk about one's own grandmother or an elderly woman in a familiar or endearing manner.
'Oba-chan,' (also could be called 'Oba-san') means aunt in Japanese, this is used when refering to someone else's aunt, or your own aunt in a polite manner. Though this is rather used, because it also mean 'middle aged woman,' and can be taken offensively for that reason.
I noticed several people said it means grandmother. This is incorrect, they got it confused with 'Obaa-chan,' or 'Obaa-san,' which is the formal way to refer to your grandmother or when speaking about someone else's grandmother. It also means 'female senior citizen,' though is not taken offensivley, like 'Oba-chan,' is.
I know a lot about Japanese culture, and am 100% sure this information is accurate, I have several sources if anyone doesn't believe me.
