They're also used towards boys and girls who are younger than you, but as I said earlier, both of these honorifics are casual. For example, that "Taka-chan" is probably used by someone who is a friend of this "Taka-chan".
Aah.. thanks SSJup81

I realised that they were both casual but was unsure as to how liberally you could use them.
