Subject: [SPAM][QUESTION] Need some help

I know that Japanese call their older siblings "older brother" and "older
sister."  But how do they say them?  Also, in Korean, the younger siblings
call their older siblings a different term when it comes to gender. 
Example, a male may call his older sister "nuna" in Korean.  BUT a female
will call her older sister "onni."  Do they do the same thing in Japan?  If
they do, please tell me what they are called, if not, just tell me the
terms that they use to call their older sister/brother.  Thanks.
