The Japanese language has a complicated system of pronouns that is based on things like the speaker's gender, relationship to the listener(s), rank in the speaker's group, how polite the speaker is trying to be, and several other things.
Since there are so many different pronouns for each person (first, second, and third), and so few that can be appropriately used in every situation, many people say that Japanese lacks true pronouns.
According to the Japanese language blog Tofugu, Japanese has more first-person pronouns than any other language.
To give examples of the complexity of Japanese pronouns, watashi could be considered the normal polite way of calling yourself if you are unsure of what to call yourself, but if you are male, you could call yourself boku or ore if you are with friends or family, but you should call yourself watakushi if you are talking to your boss or in a formal situation.
If you are female, it is normal to call yourself watashi even in casual situations, although you can also call yourself atashi or uchi.
The most common plural first-person pronoun is watashi-tachi, but in formal situations you can call yourselves ware-ware (which is also sometimes used to describe "the people [of Japan]).
This does not describe every first-person pronoun, but this explanation is written to give the reader an idea.

Louis XI (3 July 1423 – 30 August 1483), called "Louis the Prudent" (), was King of France from 1461 to 1483.
His father was Charles VII and his mother was Marie of Anjou.
Louis rebelled against his father in 1440 as head of the Praguerie.
Despite this, he was forgiven.
Louis gave him the management of an area of south-east France known as the Dauphiné.
There, Louis led his own political establishment and married Charlotte of Savoy, daughter of Louis, Duke of Savoy.
His father did not approve of the marriage and sent an army, but Louis fled to Burgundy, where he was hosted by Charles' biggest enemy Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy.
When Charles VII died in 1461, Louis became King of France.
He earned the nicknames "the Cunning" (Middle French: le rusé) and "the Universal Spider" (Middle French: l'universelle aragne), as his enemies accused him of spinning webs of plots and conspiracies.
In 1472, the next Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, fought against Louis in the Burgundian Wars.
However, Louis was able to separate Charles from his English allies by signing the Treaty of Picquigny (1475) with Edward IV of England.
The treaty officially ended the Hundred Years' War.
With the death of Charles the Bold at the Battle of Nancy in 1477, the dynasty of the Dukes of Burgundy ended.
Louis took advantage of the situation to seize numerous Burgundian territories, including Burgundy itself and Picardy.
Without direct foreign threats, Louis was able to get rid of his rebellious vassals, expand royal power, and strengthen the economic development of his country.
He died on 30 August 1483, and was succeeded by his son Charles VIII.

Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara (; born 21 December 1949 – 15 October 1987) was a Burkinabé revolutionary.
He was  President of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987.
He was a  Marxist and pan-Africanist.
His supporters viewed him as  a charismatic and iconic figure of revolution.
For this reason, he  is sometimes called  "Africa's Che Guevara".
There was a coup in 1983, supported by the people.
A number of revolutionaries seized power for Sankara, who was under house arrest at the time.
Aged 33, Sankara became the President of the Republic of Upper Volta.
He immediately launched programmes for social, ecological and economic change and renamed the country from the French colonial name Upper Volta to Burkina Faso ("Land of Incorruptible People"), with its people being called Burkinabé ("upright people").
His foreign policies were centred on anti-imperialism, with his government refusing all foreign aid, pushing for odious debt reduction, nationalising all land and mineral wealth and averting the power and influence of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
His domestic policies were focused on preventing famine with agrarian self-sufficiency and land reform, prioritising education with a nationwide literacy campaign and promoting public health by vaccinating 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles.
His national agenda also included planting over 10 million trees to combat the growing desertification of the Sahel, redistributing land from feudal landlords to peasants, suspending rural poll taxes and domestic rents and establishing a road and railway construction programme.
On the local level, Sankara called on every village to build a medical dispensary and had over 350 communities build schools with their own labour.
Moreover, he made female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy illegal.
He appointed women to high governmental positions and encouraged them to work outside the home and stay in school, even if pregnant.
Sankara encouraged the prosecution of officials accused of corruption, counter-revolutionaries and "lazy workers" in Popular Revolutionary Tribunals.
As an admirer of the Cuban Revolution, Sankara set up Cuban-style Committees for the Defense of the Revolution.
His revolutionary programmes for African self-reliance made him an icon to many of Africa's poor.
Sankara remained popular with most of his country's citizens.
On 15 October 1987, Sankara was assassinated by troops led by Blaise Compaoré, who assumed leadership of the state shortly after having Sankara killed.
A week before his assassination, Sankara declared: "While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas".
