Is there an equivalent term for "weeaboo" for japanese (living in Japan) that try to act American?
Weeaboo: Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese culture/anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they are not at all. "Weeaboo" and "Wapanese" mean the same thing in American culture =)

Answer

Meaning 'Wapanese', right?
I don't think we have equivalent(or opposite?) word or term in Japanese.

However, we sometimes use a word "kabure", like "America-kabure", which sounds ironic or sardonic.
Meaning, a person who is eager to be like an American.(But obviously doesn't look like an American)
