'Sempai' is traditional Hepburn romanization. According to some, it's because ん is pronounced like 'm' when it comes before 'b', 'p' and 'm'. But as far as I know, that is not true. As far as Japanese are concerned, there is only one way, and no two ways, to pronounce ん. If one speaks and articulates properly at natural speed, ん + 'b'/'p'/'m' WILL SOUND LIKE 'm' to a listener (by closing your mouth quickly after vocalizing 'n'), and not because the speaker articulates or pronounces ん as 'm' sound. So I prefer using 'Senpai'. --larethian 04:00, 12 July 2012 (CDT)
