In a Japanese-style restaurant or Japanese-style inn, if the owner or landlord is a lady, she is often called Okami (おかみ/女将). The patrons call her Okami-san (おかみさん/女将さん). On the other hand, Ookami (おおかみ/狼) means wolf. To describe someone who avoids the company of others and acts alone, the expression Ippiki Ookami (いっぴきおおかみ/一匹狼) can be used. This is the nice equivalent of the English expression “a lone wolf”.
