As I said, most English honorifics are outdated and no longer in use. English is a very old language, with different manners of speech depending on the area, and hardly restricted to modern America or England. Lord and Lady and all that is just what people remember from their medieval times novels about knights and dragons. 

Some honorifics are still around but no longer used in anything resembling the manner they originally were, too. Esquire, for example, would originally be used to address a person of higher social rank than yourself but didn't have a more specific title. Now, it's simply used as a way of politely addressing an adult male in the UK or a certified attorney in the US.

Also, claiming that the senpai-kouhai relationship doesn't exist in the west is a gross exaggeration, though it is certainly far far less common, and I suspect a bit of special snowflaking japanese culture.

Well, the House of Lords obviously still uses titles of nobility. And Esquire has its place in the Order of Precedence, and I've never actually heard it be applied to anyone. Not really the same sort of honorific at all. Now, if you'd said 'sir', [i]then[/i] we'd be getting somewhere. 

The existence of the relationship has no impact on the existence of a word to acknowledge that someone's your senior or junior in a setting. XD
