I don't really know what senpai means, but if you mean in judging simply by the general tone and cadence of a voice, as what seems to suit a type of character, then that's all you really need to enjoy it.
In Japan, senpai (先輩 ?) is an upperclassman, someone of a higher age, or senior and kōhai (後輩 ?) is a protégé or junior. The mentor system is found at all levels of education, and in sports clubs, businesses, and informal or social organizations.
