部下 buka etc. Explanation: The answer above is taken from the ALC online dictionary. The following includes options not given therein... In a company, 部下 "buka" for underlings. ( At the ALC online dictionary this is given as followership // junior staff // man // merry man // merry men // spear carrier // subordinate // subordinate officer // henchman ) Genan, 下男 is not often used, old or classist. ( footman // hired hand // houseman // lackey // manservant // maty // muchacho // waiting man ) I like the kobun 子分 given above. It tends to suggest the maifa (yakuza) or underworld. (appendage // followership // following // hanger-on // hatchet man // heeler // henchman // minion // protege // record changer // vassal ) To place the emphasis on the person, rather than the relationship, then perhaps tuijuusha 追従者 追従者 acquiesce-man // adulator // apple polisher // ass crawler // ass-kisser〔【略】AK〕 // ass-licker // arse-licker // butt-licker // beta male // bootlick // brown-noser // brownnoser // bum-licker // butt-kisser // clawback // cookie pusher // crawler // egg-sucker // eggsucker // fart-catcher // fart-sucker // goody-goody two shoes // greaser // hairy belly // lackey // pickthank // polisher // soap-crawler // suck-ass // suck-hole // suck-off // suckup // suck-up // sycophant // toady // yes-man Reference: http://www.alc.co.jp/ |
