先輩 (senpai): "the one who went before you."

Most big Japanese companies hire new graduates in one wave, and they all start together in early April. Those new starters become dōki, a cohort for life, and anyone hired a year earlier is their senpai, even a senpai who happens to be younger. The senior shows them the copier, the polite phrases and where to sit at the year-end party, and expects the favor to be passed down the next April.

Charcoal on the crown and a lighter stony gray on the brim, with "Senpai" in big letters over 先輩 (senpai). The first character, 先, means "before," the same one that opens sensei, teacher.

Hand it to a new hire on day one, or to the senior who got you through yours. When you're buying for someone else's taste, two quiet grays and a snap buckle that adjusts to most heads make it a safe bet. Find its relatives in the Japanese caps section.
