Wouldn't addressing somebody as, say, "Tanaka-chan" if they are an adult or "Tanaka-kohai" to your friend seem a little disrespectful, as you are putting them below you? Maybe that is just my American point of view, but it seems to me that, if someone called me that who is not clearly in a much higher position than me, I might feel a little disrespected.
