There are two words for older brother, and they are used in different contexts.

When talking to someone else and you refer to your older brother, you use a humble form. You would say "ani" (hiragana: あに kanji: 兄).

When talking to someone else and you want to refer to their older brother, you use a polite form. You would say "onii-san" (hiragana: おにいさん kanji: お兄さん). You also use this word when talking to your older brother. So if I had an older brother I would call him "onii-san" or "onii-chan".
