Best Answer

it shows humbleness to use an honorific (san, chan, kun, sama)

san is the most commonly used

chan is used mostly at the end of female names, and is used among friends

kun is used mostly at the end of male names, and is used among friends

sama is used to show great gratitude, and is used among people highly respected (such as an emperor, or your boss, etc.)
