You can insult someone in Japanese in the same way that you insult people in other languages: by implying that they are socially undesirable, that they are unfit for or unable to do some desirable task, and so forth: in short, by denigrating them.

There are various ways to do this in Japanese that are not possible in all other languages: examples include (in contrast with English): (i) addressing the insultee with the wrong kind of grammar (Japanese being marked for the relative social positions of interlocutors) or lexical items; and (ii) leaving out otherwise obligatory honorifics (such as -san affixed to names) or using the incorrect honorifics or forms of address.
