A person who likes or respects someone or something very much.

an admirer of [someone/something]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think "admirer" always means a romantic lover. In sentences like "I am an admirer of her music," it usually means you respect or enjoy someone’s work, not that you are in love. Also, do not confuse "admirer" (a person) with "admire" (the verb).
