I knew about most of those, since it's the same in Dutch with these words. I don't know if it goes for Kanji though. Most people usually call Kanji Chineese characters where I'm from.
Edit: I looked it up, Kanji is not a Dutch word, we translate it. Hence my confusion.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I don't know which foreign words actually became English 
And totally unrelated, but what is casbah? |
Once a word is used enough in a language, it is considered a word in that language. See my examples of "algebra," "sushi," "casbah," "croissant," etc.

"Kanji" is in the English dictionary. Therefore it is an English word.
