Types of male characters in anime. Types of characters in anime

Here there will be explanations of who tsundere, genki, etc. are. X) Not all, but the main ones.

Moe
Almost the same as kawaii, but with a bias towards the fetish. This is the name of cute Japanese animation characters that are able to cause phaggotria (a phage is an ardent fan of something). Moei women are more often girls (perhaps moai women can dispute this).
One classic example of a household moe girl is Takara Miyuki from Lucky Star. She wears glasses, is smart and beautiful, has boobs of the third size and constantly thinks about something, as a result she falls, drops something, etc.
Moe (moe)- the term is sometimes used to refer to a variety of anime with a large number of childishly pretty, kawaii characters (although in Russian anime communities, the collective concept of "kawaii" is more often used to refer to this kind of anime and manga), or to denote an otaku's love for one or another kawaii anime heroine.
moeco- An anime heroine with the properties of Moe.

Tsundere and varieties
Tsundere (from Japanese ツンデレ, from tsun-tsun - ツンツン and dere-dere - デレデレ) - w: an archetype of Japanese pop culture. A female tsundere character is properly called a tsunderekko (ツンデレっ娘), but is usually referred to as a tsundere.
The essence of tsundere comes down to changing your attitude from arrogant and boorish (tsun-tsun) to sentimental and loving (dere-dere) in a short period of time, a few minutes. In especially advanced cases, the tsundere goes from tsun-tsun to dere-dere and vice versa several times.

* Tsunaho - She is also a “tsunbaka”, she is also a “tsundoji” (munsp. “aho” is an idiot). In short - the Tungus fool. Even if she tries to be cold to you, she does it stupidly. Either she is clumsy and stumbles all the time, or her things are scattered, or some other misfortune; so in the end she fails to play the snow queen. In fact, she attaches great importance to your opinion and tries to put herself in a favorable light, only she does not do it very well. (Louise from Zero no tsukaima)
* Tsuntere - This is not repeated "tsun-de", but a very shy "tere" from "tereru" (照れる, to be shy). If you are with her on "you", then she is cold with you like a tsundere, but her shyness does not allow her to be completely cold. In addition, she impersonates the fact that she constantly blushes looking at the guy she likes. (example - the same Shana)
* Tsundere - actually described in this article.
* Tsundora is a type invented in Bakemonogatari to describe the character of Senjougahara. Dora - abbr. from ドラゴン.
* Tsungire. "Gire" comes from "kireru" (切れる, short circuit, meaning a state of mind like "jammed/bridged"). If she is cold with you, and you are in no hurry to find out why this attitude would be, then this can lead her to a nervous breakdown with unpredictable consequences. Hurry to find out from her the reason, regardless of the difficulties. Get to know her "dere" side before it's too late. Don't leave her alone. (Sekai from School Days might fit the description, although it's closer to a yandere. But of course...)

yandere
Yandere (Moon's pig ヤンデレ) is the designation for a mentally unstable anime girl.
Yanderes start out as normal and even cute characters, but at some point they are wedged, and their behavior changes dramatically to cruel and dangerous. Moreover, sometimes hysteria is not enough, yanderes are drawn to knives, swords, daggers, machetes, boxcutters and other dangerous objects.

* Yandere - madly in love, behaves ideally towards her lover, ready to make any sacrifices for him and endure anything for him and their relationship, kill a couple of girlfriends or protect him with her body.
* Yangire - a subspecies of yandere, with mental disabilities. Outwardly cute, but inside - cruel and insane. Unlike yandere, they do not need a special reason in the form of love to massacre.

genki
Genki (munsp. 「元気」?) is a Japanese term for a specific type in literature, anime, and video games. Genk-heroes are distinguished by irrepressible cheerfulness; they are energetic, full of life and optimism. Genki heroines are a must-have for harem anime and hentai games.

Character examples
* Sumomo, the heroine of the anime Chobits.
* Kaolla Suu from the manga and anime "Love Hina".
* Excel, the heroine of Quack Experimental Anime Excel Saga
* Minori, the heroine of the anime Toradora!
* Korea from Hetalia (and no one said that genki can only be a girl)
* Kusakabe Misao, the heroine of the anime "Lucky Star"

Kudere and dandere
Couderet- Quiet, almost imperceptible character. Most often you can find somewhere on the sidelines reading a book, not paying attention to the rest of the world. The characters are silent, apathetic, outwardly not emotional. Prominent Representatives: Rei Ayanami of NGE, Yuki Nagato of Suzumia Haruhi no Yuuutsu.
Dandera- the same modest girl, but there is less of a "snow queen" in her than in a kudera. The impression is less mysterious and enigmatic, but on the whole very akin to the first type of character. An example of a dandere is Setsuna Kiyoru from School Days.

!Some characters combine several types of character at once.

The type of character is not always immediately clear.

Contrary to popular belief, the classification of character types does not apply only to female characters. Yes, there are MOEs for boys too!

Main character types:

1. Tsundere (ツンデレ). The word comes from tsuntsun (ツンツン), which means disgust, and deredere (デレデレ), which means falling in love. One of the most beloved otaku type of characters, often moei (more on that below). These characters are often at first harmful and narcissistic, sometimes even unpleasant personalities (more than half of the girls with rich parents, for example), but in the process of plot development it always turns out that many good qualities are hidden under the harmfulness. Most often they appear when the character is in love. At the same time, the very object of their love is rejected by them, but in the end they have to admit their feelings.
There are also several subspecies of the tsundere:

Tsunaho (ツンアホ), alternatively called tsunbaka (ツンばか) or more neutrally tsundoji (ツンドジ)
These characters really want to appear bad, but because of clumsiness, and often narrow-mindedness, they always confuse everything, drop things, fall themselves and generally behave comically.

Tsuntere (ツン照れ) is a more open (and moe-like) tsundere. "Tereru", tereru (照れる) means "shy". That is, a tsundere who tries to appear cold and unapproachable, but due to his own shyness (and moe) sometimes gives out real feelings. Thus, it becomes clear that the character is actually a deredere.

Tsundora (ツンドラ) literally means "tundra". This is the most reserved and gloomy type.
character, ice. It is very difficult to force such a character to show his "deredere-I".

Tsungire (ツン切れ) is the most dangerous type of tsundere, named after "kireru" (kireru, 切れる) - short circuit. If you make this character angry, then ... better not. At first glance, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish a tsungire from a yandere, but a flash of rage and madness are still different things.

2. Kuudere (くーデレ), comes from English cool and Japanese deredere, a word called cold-blooded and indifferent characters. Often they sit somewhere far away from the rest with a book and do not communicate with anyone. Often they can be distinguished by blue hair, but not always. So, the couderes are silent, but only because they do not want to talk to anyone, because of their arrogance.

3. Dandere (ダンデレ) - abbreviated danmari deredere (だんまりデレデレ), which means "shy/th deredere". Danmari (だんまり) means "silence", but the dandere is silent not because he (or she) wants to, but because he is terribly shy. These are real sociophobes, closed and distrustful. Most often, the "deredere-ya" is revealed upon contact with the object of love.

4. Yandere (ヤンデレ) - short for yanderu deredere (病んでるデレデレ), "yandere" (病んでる) means "sick". In short, this is a crazy "deredere". Yandere characters are as popular with otaku as tsundere.
Yandere are attached to the object of their love very strongly, to the point of idolatry. These are typical fans (and fangirls). In their normal state, yanderes are indistinguishable from derederes, but when they fall in love, they turn into psychos, and you should not get in their way at this moment, because they often pick up sharp objects.

5. Yangire (ヤン切れ) - A subspecies of the yandere, they are both insane and short-tempered. Such a character, in order to become a maniac, usually does not need a special reason in the form of love. Often they have some dark, unpleasant secret from the past hiding in their closet.

6. Genki (元気) - optimistic, always happy and hyperactive
characters. Such a character is the "soul" of the company.
There are two types of genks - smart and not so smart. Smart genks think as fast as they act. Characters of the second type are also energetic, but at the same time they often do comical follies.

Oh yes, MOE!

The word "moe" (萌え) means "sprout", meaning a fragile girl who needs (and wants to!) take care of.
The word in culture means a fetish of appearance/behavior. All the character stereotypes described above also refer to the concept of "moe". For a long time it was believed (and is still often considered) that only girls can be moei. But! Moe can be a guy, although much less often. Isn't Italy-kun from Hetalia an example of this?
Moekko (萌え娘) is a girl with moei features. Moekko are again of several types.
Meganekko (メガネっ娘) is a girl with glasses.
Bokukko (ぼく娘) is an energetic tomboy.
Pettanko (ぺったんこ) is a child girl with a flat chest, which she usually suffers a lot from. Well, or not suffer.
Bakunyu (爆乳) - a girl with large breasts, the object of pettanko envy.
Dojikko (ドジ娘) is a clumsy girl.

"In order to finally rake up all the available information about stereotypes into a large pile and then put it on the shelves, I decided to write such a note for those who do not understand the essence of character stereotype classification. In short, educational program.

* There are not so many types associated with the character, and some characters contain several at once. A vivid example of this is, which combines kudere, dander and tsundere (non-classical).

I will try to explain in simple words, using alignment (yes, the same one in DnD), so that everyone understands the essence of this text. "

In order to finally rake up all the available information about stereotypes into a large pile and then sort it out, I decided to write such a note for those who do not understand the essence of character stereotype classification. In short, educational program.

To begin with, you should remember: in no case should you mix the types of appearance and character. I don’t know what you have there, but when we see “tsundere” and “moe” in one poll, the kettle boils and the lid starts to fly off. So it needs to be explained:
* There are not so many types associated with the character, and some characters contain several at once. A vivid example of this is , which combines kudere, dandere and tsundere (non-classical).
* Sometimes the type is not clear at first, for example, tsundere. So do not rush to conclusions.

I will try to explain in simple words, using alignment (yes, the same one in DnD), so that everyone understands the essence of this text.

The main types of character:

1. Tsundere (ツンデレ) - Chaotic Neutral. The word comes from tsuntsun (ツンツン), which means disgust, and deredere (デレデレ), which means falling in love. Such characters are initially presented as unpleasant, often narcissistic and selfish (have you ever seen the so-called "princesses", ojou-sama, girls from wealthy families in anime? Notice that 3/4 of them fall under the definition?) types, but throughout the plot they reveal the "bright", good side of their character, in most cases - under the influence of the object of love. They initially eschew this very object and in every possible way make it clear their disgust for him, but the disguise sooner or later collapses. This is the classic definition of a tsundere. Non-classical tsunderes can be similar to ordinary, unremarkable people, but they give out a type, abruptly losing their temper at the slightest incitement, or upon contact with the notorious object of love.

Tsundere, just so you know, is not the only step between good and evil. There are many more gradations of this kind, here are the four most pronounced:

1.1. Tsunaho (ツンアホ), alternatively called tsunbaka (ツンばか) or more neutrally tsundoji (ツンドジ), is a special type of tsundere that can be briefly described as "tsundere poseur". This type is really trying to be bad, but due to the innate clumsiness and stupidity, he always confuses everything, drops things and generally behaves more than comically. It’s not good, of course, to laugh at other people’s problems, but there’s nothing to be done about it, right?

1.2. Tsuntere (ツン照れ) is a more overt form of tsundere. "Tereru", tereru (照れる) means "shy". In other words, a tsundere, which (and sometimes, and which!) Can't be cold until the very end and no, no, yes, it will give out your feelings. It happens because the type has shyness enough to open the deredere side.

1.3. Tsundora (ツンドラ) literally means "tundra", which is with snow and forest. This is a more closed and negative type of character, inhospitable, like a tundra. Awakening the deredere side of this type is very, very difficult.

1.4. Tsungire (ツン切れ) is an even more dangerous type of tsundere, named after "kireru" (kireru, 切れる), which means short circuit. It is dangerous because if you do not bring it to the tsuntsun side, then you are better off. Because if you bring it, it can break loose and make a tantrum. They should not be confused with the subsequent type of yandere, because hysteria and half-wit are two different things. Opening the dereder side of this type is not difficult - you just need to calmly do it without unnecessary movements, and then the problems will go away by themselves. If you do not do this - the hysteria is guaranteed.

Since there is an "evil-good" character, then similar terms can be called both "bad" and "good", namely

2. Tsuntsun (ツンツン) - Lawful Good/Neutral. In this interpretation, it will mean an uncommunicative misanthrope who is not really going to become kinder to others. Such characters are not often encountered, and their unpleasant nature is often due to the fact that everyone around them does not behave the way they want - and their point of view is often justified. Yes, all forum moderators are tsuntsun without exception, and if they are kind, they will quickly become evil. Lawyers are...
A separate case is (suddenly, huh?) all the villains who have not gone over to the side of good (Lawful - Neutral - Chaotic Evil), they fall under the definition with amazing accuracy. If we are not talking about finished maniacs and scumbags.

3. Deredere (デレデレ) - Neutral Good. Accordingly, it will mean a kind and sweet character, a little modest and moderately optimistic. There are many of them, at least one bishojo game will have one like this. Yes, and among the guys such a dime a dozen. You just have to be careful in the classification, or you will be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of a slow type or the same tsundere.

Apart from the tsundere with branches (due to the fact that the tsundere itself is a fairly powerful layer of Japanese culture) are the following types:

4. Kuudere (くーデレ (if I'm not mistaken)) - True Neutral, although it may also be Lawful Evil. The word is an abbreviated anglicism cool deredere (cool meaning "cool") - this is not such an old word, meaning a cold-blooded and indifferent type. Have you ever seen characters sitting with a book in the corner, not communicating with anyone, or vice versa, inserting their weighty “fi” into everything that is happening around them, and always in the right place? This is what kudere is. Often smart (although due to the characteristics of the type, they are not very - but only because they suffer from chronic laziness) and the deredere side is revealed only if such a character likes you. Again, this type is not devoid of emotions, but it firmly holds them in itself and does not show them outwardly. However, if these fetters are loosened, the coudere may burst into tears or laugh quite calmly.
Remember the basic truth: the coudere is silent only because he wants to. Well, if the reasons for silence are different, then the time comes for ...

5. Dandere (ダンデレ) - also Neutral Good. Short for danmari deredere (だんまりデレデレ), which means "shy/shy deredere". Danmari (だんまり) by itself means "silence", but the reasons for the dandere's silence are different from those of the kuudere. Dandere is silent only because he is shy. Yes, this is a type of sociophobes who are closed in on themselves only because they are shy, but would like to be sociable. Usually, upon contact with a certain character, for the most part - with an object of love, they become quite ordinary derederes, but even in this case, stiffness and shyness will remain. But do not think that a dandere cannot be angered, no - if you do this, you can even regret it, since the accumulated emotions can go wrong and with unpredictable consequences.

Another very popular type of deredere is

6. Yandere (ヤンデレ) - Chaotic Neutral/Good. Short for yanderu deredere (病んでるデレデレ), "yanderu" (病んでる) means, to be as precise as possible, "sick" (on the head). In general, "crazy / th deredere." I’ll ask you to immediately understand that it’s not hysterical / th, but crazy / th! These are different things.
Actually, the essence of the yandere lies in excessive attachment to the object of love, reaching fanaticism. So to speak, the reverse side of the tsundere. Such characters in their normal state (in the classical definition) are quite cute and indistinguishable from deredere, but when they try to get them into romance, they start going crazy, chasing the object of love and being jealous of him/her for everything that moves. Well, of course, try to please him / her in everything. In general, classic yandere are paranoid sticks. And it's better for you not to try to change them - in their classic definition, they will immediately pull their hands to sharp objects.
The non-classical definition of a yandere is a little (or a lot) crazy deredere. They may consider themselves non-humans, behave in a strange way, but it all revolves around the opposite sex. If a girl shies away from guys and doesn't miss a chance to beat them in self-defense (read: paranoia), then this is also a yandere. As the author of this article says, "if a yandere fell in love with you, run as fast as you can," even though he secretly dreams of at least seeing at least one real yandere.

But it may be that a character can go crazy without an object of love. And then comes on stage...

6.1. Yangire (ヤン切れ) - Chaotic Evil. It is built by analogy with the tsungire. But here hysteria is superimposed on half-wittedness, and it turns out walking Armageddon. Senseless and merciless maniacs who can turn their minds absolutely from scratch. Characters such as often yandere come with a dark past. But if you try hard, you can endure communication with such a type, only the game in this case is not worth the candle, and it is nowhere easier to close such a type. It's best not to touch it at all.
In general, by the same analogy, one can observe the yanbaku, which will do everything awry. But that's a little non-canonical. But who cares about canons?

7. Genki (元気) - Chaotic Good. These are optimistic and hyperactive characters. As a rule, they are the center of the company, make friends quickly, are extroverts and again are divided into two branches. The first type of genk is a more or less quick-witted type, we will simply call them "smart genks", who, in addition to being hyperactive, manage to think at the speed of action. And as for the second type, we will call them "tank-genks", then you have all seen them - these are crazy clumps of energy blowing everything in a row. However, tanka-genks do not always have to be really idiots, some of them have a very good mind, but they just think, to put it mildly, especially.

These are character stereotypes.

We kindly ask you not to confuse them with appearance stereotypes, such as:

Moekko (萌え娘) is actually a girl with moei features. The word "moe" (萌え) means "sprout", meaning a fragile girl who asks to be taken care of like a young sprout. The word in culture means a fetish of appearance/behavior. Surely you all like people with some particular piece of clothing, jewelry, body shape ... Fetishists, do not huddle in a corner, get out! Yes, everyone has a fetish, but not everyone talks about it. Moreover, the fetish does not have to be external, the concept also applies to character. Yes, all the character stereotypes described above refer to the concept of "moe" - who cares. Please don't call such characters "moe"! For moe means actually a fetish, and "-kko" is added a priori, because only girls are moe. I want to repeat myself, only girls can be moey, because the term was originally coined only and only for girls. Whether you need to describe them, I don't know. Probably not. Anyway:

The moe section includes some types, such as meganekko (メガネっ娘) - girls with glasses; pettanko (ぺったんこ) - characters who put a strong accent (or emphasis from the side) on their flat chest, whose opposite is called bakunyu (爆乳), "exploding chest"; dojikko (ドジ娘) - clumsy girls; bokukko (ぼく娘) - a kind of half-boys who talk about themselves in a boyish "boku" (ぼく) - by the way, they are popular among genki; and indeed the names of the types of appearance and behavior can not be counted.
But that is another story.

character, ice. It is very difficult to force such a character to show his "deredere-I".

6. Genki (元気) - optimistic, always happy and hyperactive

characters. Such a character is the "soul" of the company.

There are two types of genks - smart and not so smart. Smart genks think as fast as they act. Characters of the second type are also energetic, but at the same time they often do comical follies.

Oh yes, MOE!

The word "moe" (萌え) means "sprout", meaning a fragile girl who needs (and wants to!) take care of.

The word in culture means a fetish of appearance/behavior. All the character stereotypes described above also refer to the concept of "moe". For a long time it was believed (and is still often considered) that only girls can be moei. But! Moe can be a guy, although much less often. Isn't Italy-kun from Hetalia an example of this?

Moekko (萌え娘) is a girl with moei features. Moekko are again of several types.

Meganekko (メガネっ娘) is a girl with glasses.

Bokukko (ぼく娘) is an energetic tomboy.

Pettanko (ぺったんこ) is a child girl with a flat chest, which she usually suffers a lot from. Well, or not suffer.

Bakunyu (爆乳) - a girl with large breasts, the object of pettanko envy.

Dojikko (ドジ娘) is a clumsy girl.

Ordinary Japanese schoolboy (JaSh)- He most often wears glasses, and large round or square ones. His appearance is the most standard: dark hair, dark eyes, character - even, age - puberty.

An ordinary Japanese student can be in any genre - shonen, mysticism, harem or fantasy, and what is most offensive for unusual Japanese students is that an ordinary Japanese student is most often the main character. He is forced to save the world, or fight off a crowd of girls drying over him (and what do they find in him?), He can be mega-strong, but he doesn’t look like that - glasses and an even, expressionless character interfere. HE blushes at the sight of women's breasts and stutters when he needs to confess his love.

Kawaii/Kawaii- “cute”, “charming”, “pretty”, “glorious”, “amiable”. In Japanese, "kawaii" can also refer to anything that looks small, sometimes having the double meaning of "adorable" and "small". The word can also be used to describe adults displaying childish or naive behavior.

Bishōjo- a term usually referring to young beautiful girls, more often high school girls. In anime and manga, especially among Western otaku, the term can be used to refer to a stereotypical female character - a beautiful young girl, a plot with such characters, a certain style of portraying such characters.

Moe- kawaii characters that cause not just tenderness, but attraction. The term "Moe" itself means adoration (sometimes in the literal sense of the word), almost fetishization, of something or someone from anime manga games. The moe section includes some types, such as meganekko - girls with glasses, pettanko - characters who make a strong accent (or the emphasis is from the side) on their flat chest, dojikko - clumsy girls, and in general there are countless names of appearance and behavior types.

Bishonen- a word denoting an ideally handsome young man. Outside of Japan, otaku is commonly used to refer to a stereotypical male manga and anime character template that is used primarily in the shojo, shounen-ai, or yaoe genres.

A character that falls under the definition of a bishōnen is usually young, femininely beautiful, and does not have pronounced muscles. Often dresses in underlined elegant and impractical clothes, has hair of an unusual color. The nature of bisyonen can be different depending on the plot of the work.

The bishōnen stereotype is very popular among girls, partly due to the emancipation and identification of a feminine man with a free and independent woman, and partly due to the unique concept of beauty in Japanese culture.

Meganekko is a typical anime girl whose difference is that she wears glasses. Quite often there is such a development: if she switches to contact lenses, then everyone and everyone suddenly realizes her beauty.

Megane-kun(Megane-kun) is a boy with glasses.

Bakunyu(bakunyuu) - a design feature that consists in the fact that the heroine of an anime or manga is depicted with deliberately exaggerated (and often beyond the realities of life) breast sizes. The erotic genres of anime are richest in such artistic techniques.

Maid(maids, meido) - a maid. One of the typical designs for anime heroines, designed to go with the "sexy handmaid" look. This phenomenon eventually became so widespread in the anime industry that entire series devoted entirely to the theme of maids began to appear (for example, He is My Master and Hanaukyo Maids Team), thereby making meido almost a full-fledged subgenre of anime and manga.

Chibi(Chibi) - a style depicting people in a reduced, compared to normal, form. An integral feature of the style is disproportion - an enlarged head and eyes, shortened arms and legs, sometimes without hands and fingers. Drawing the emotions of such characters is also greatly simplified. Chibiks are very similar to children, as a result of which just children are also called chibis.

Kemonomimi(Kemonomimi) - literally "animal ears". A drawing style in which people have ears (sometimes a tail, less often paws, noses, etc.) of a certain animal. For example, Nekomimi is a girl (or guy) with cat ears, Kitsunemimi is with fox ears, etc.

tsundere(Tsundere) - the word comes from tsuntsun (tsuntsun), which means disgust, and deredere (deredere), which means love. Such characters initially appear as unpleasant, often narcissistic and selfish (have you ever seen the so-called “princesses”, ojou-sama, girls from wealthy families in anime) types, but throughout the plot they reveal a “bright”, good side in themselves character, in most cases - under the influence of the object of love. They initially eschew this very object and in every possible way make it clear their disgust for him, but the disguise sooner or later collapses. This is the classic definition of a tsundere. Non-classical tsunderes can be similar to ordinary, unremarkable people, but they give out a type, abruptly losing their temper at the slightest incitement, or upon contact with the notorious object of love.

Maho-shoujo- "Magic Girl" The main plot feature of maho-shojo is the main character - a girl, or a young girl who has some kind of supernatural abilities that she uses to fight evil, protect the Earth, weak and similar actions. Sometimes there are several girls with different abilities and usually working in the same team. The most characteristic representatives of this subgenre of manga and anime are Sailor Moon (the first series where there are several such characters), Cardcaptor Sakura, Tokyo Mew Mew, Magic Knight Rayearth, Pretty Sammy and Futari wa Pretty Cure . The first mahou shoujo anime series was Mahou Tsukai Sally, released in 1966. Magical girls are also known in Japan as majokko or "witch girls".

There is also a similar subgenre maho shonen ("boy magicians"), where similar lines are used, with a changed gender focus, that is, the main character is a young man (as an example, one can name "DNAngel"), however, it is much less often used as the main storyline. lines.

It is also necessary to distinguish the maho-shojo genre from the subgenre maho kanojo (“magic girlfriend”), where the main character is a boy or a young man whose girl has supernatural abilities.

yandere(Yandere) - short for yanderu deredere, "yandere" means, to be as precise as possible, "sick" (on the head). In general, "crazy (th) deredere." I’ll ask you to immediately understand that it’s not hysterical (th), but crazy (th)! These are different things.

Actually, the essence of the yandere lies in excessive attachment to the object of love, reaching fanaticism. So to speak, the reverse side of the tsundere. Such characters in their normal state (in the classical definition) are quite cute and indistinguishable from deredere, but when they try to entangle them in romance, they begin to go crazy, pursue the object of love and be jealous of him/her for everything that moves. Well, of course, try to please him / her in everything. In general, classic yandere are paranoid sticks. And do not let Yami-sama try to change them - in their classic definition, they will immediately pull their hands to sharp objects.

The non-classical definition of a yandere is a little (or a lot) crazy deredere. They may consider themselves non-humans, behave in a strange way, but it all revolves around the opposite sex. If a girl shies away from guys and does not miss a chance to beat them in self-defense, then this is also a yandere.

tsunaho(Tsunaho), alternatively called tsunbaka (Tsunbaka) or more neutrally - tsundoji (Tsundoji), is a special kind of tsundere, which can be briefly described as "tsundere poseur". This type is really trying to be bad, but due to the innate clumsiness and stupidity, he always confuses everything, drops things and generally behaves more than comically. It's not good, of course, to laugh at other people's problems, but there's nothing you can do about it, really.

Zuntere(Tsuntere) is a more overt form of tsundere. "Tereru", tereru means "shy". In other words, a tsundere, which (and sometimes, and which!) Can't be cold until the very end and no, no, yes, it will give out your feelings. It happens because the type has shyness enough to open the deredere side.

Tsundora(Tsundora) literally means "tundra", which is with snow and forest. This is a more closed and negative type of character, inhospitable, like a tundra. Awakening the deredere side of this type is very, very difficult.

Tsungire(Tsungire) - an even more dangerous type of tsundere, called by analogy with "kireru" (kireru), which means - a short circuit. It is dangerous because if you do not bring it to the tsuntsun side, then you are better off. Because if you bring it, it can break loose and make a tantrum. They should not be confused with the subsequent type of yandere, because hysteria and half-wit are two different things. Opening the dereder side of this type is not difficult - you just need to calmly do it without unnecessary movements, and then the problems will go away by themselves. If you do not do this - the hysteria is guaranteed. Sekai from School Days fits the description even though she is larger than a yangire.

tsuntsun(Tsuntsun) in this interpretation will mean an uncommunicative misanthrope who is not really going to become kind. Such characters rarely come across, but, which is typical, all villains who have not gone over to the side of good (Lawful - Neutral - Chaotic Evil) fall under the definition with amazing accuracy.

Deredere(Deredere) respectively will mean a kind and sweet character, a little modest and moderately optimistic. There are many of them, at least one bishojo game will have one like this. Yes, and among the guys such a dime a dozen. You just have to be careful in the classification, or you will be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of a slow type or the same tsundere.

Couderet(Kuudere), which is an abbreviated anglicism cool deredere (cool meaning "cool") - this is not such an old word, meaning a cold-blooded and indifferent type. Have you ever seen characters sitting with a book in the corner, not communicating with anyone, or vice versa, inserting their weighty “fi” into everything that is happening around them, and always in the right place? This is what kudere is. Often smart (although due to the characteristics of the type, they are not very - but only because they suffer from chronic laziness) and the deredere side is revealed only if such a character likes you. Again, this type is not devoid of emotions, but it firmly holds them in itself and does not show them outwardly. However, if these fetters are loosened, the coudere may burst into tears or laugh quite calmly. Couderé is often painted with blue hair, this is a kind of stamp.

Dandera(Dandere) - abbreviated danmari deredere, which means "shy / th deredere." Danmari itself means "silence", but the reasons for the silence of the dandere are different from those of the kuudere. Dandere is silent only because he is shy. Yes, this is a type of sociophobes who are closed in on themselves only because they are shy, but would like to be sociable. Usually, upon contact with a certain character, for the most part - with an object of love, they become quite ordinary derederes, but even in this case, stiffness and shyness will remain. But do not think that a dandere cannot be angered, no - if you do this, you can even regret it, since the accumulated emotions can go wrong and with unpredictable consequences.

Yangir(Yangire) is built by analogy with tsungire. But here hysteria is superimposed on half-wittedness, and it turns out walking Armageddon. Senseless and merciless maniacs who can turn their minds absolutely from scratch. Characters such as often yandere come with a dark past. But if you try hard, you can endure communication with such a type, only the game in this case is not worth the candle, and it is nowhere easier to close such a type. It's best not to touch it at all.

In general, by the same analogy, one can observe the yanbaku, which will do everything awry. But that's a little non-canonical. However, who cares about the canons?

genki(Genki) are optimistic and hyperactive characters. As a rule, they are the center of the company, make friends quickly, are extroverts and again are divided into two branches. The first type of genk is a more or less quick-witted type, we will simply call them "smart genks", who, in addition to being hyperactive, manage to think at the speed of action. And as for the second type, we will call them “tanks-genks”, then you have all seen them - these are crazy lumps of energy blowing everything in a row. However, tanka-genks do not always have to be really idiots, some of them have a very good mind, but they just think, to put it mildly, especially.
