I know its similar to saying -san and -kun. But who is usually adressed as -koi??

There is no Japanese honorific "koi". The only case I can think of is, in Osaka area if there are three daughters in a family, the last (third) daughter is called "koi-san". At present, it is not commonly used though.
FYI "koi" also means "love", "Come", "a carp", or "intention".

I'm a Japanese man. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing like -koi in Japan. There must have been a mistake.

"koibito" means boyfriend or girlfriend, if i'm not mistaken.
my friend and her boyfriend who have studied japanese extensively.. they call each other "koi" as a pet name. this might be the same for other japanese, not sure though. =P

yes, there is a japanese word such as koi...koi means love...when you say koibito it means lover...bito means person...but you call someone koi or koibito when you've already had a sexual intercourse...
