Nipponophile

Nonce? --Connel MacKenzie 19:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, etymologically speaking it's a fairly logical construction (along the same lines as "anglophile" or "francophile"), so it's very plausible. I would have just assumed the existance of the word. It gets 10 google book hits, and all the unrestricted ones appear to mean the same as is defined. RobbieG 20:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
