こちら - Kochira - Here, This way.
そちら - Sochira - There, That way.
あちら - Achira - Over there.
どちら - Dochira - Where.

People:
こちら - Kochira - This person.
そちら - Sochira - That person.
あちら - Achira - That person over there.
どなた / だれ - Donata / Dare - Who?

Thing:
これ - Kore - This.
それ - Sore - That.
あれ - Are - That over there.
どれ - Dore - Which?

Place:
ここ - Koko - Here.
そこ - Soko - There.
あそこ - Asoko - Over there.
どこ - Doko - Where?

Demonstrative:
このカメラ - Kono kamera - This camera.
そのカメラ - Sono kamera - That camera.
あのカメラ - Ano kamera - That camera over there.
