San = respectful, similar to "Ms." or "Mr."
Chan = sign of friendliness and/or closeness for females. Not respectful to use for females older than you. Can also be used for males (e.g. sweethearts or pets).
Tan = cutesy, used for babies
Kun = used for males to signify some familiarity of friendliness. Also not respectful to use for males older than you. Also used for females - for instance, a teacher referring to a female student, or a boss referring to a female employee in the office

What about -bei? I've only seen it in the anime Jubei-Chan, where it sets up a sort of historical in-joke (Jiyu's father calls her Jiyu-bei, and she becomes a successor to the ninja Jubei.)

ayrt

I've never heard that as a suffix added onto a name but, "jiyu" can mean "freedom" and as a suffix "bei" can mean "protect" or "protection". Perhaps that's where the nickname comes from? I don't know enough about the show to really know.
