What Does “Tsundere” Mean?

“Tsundere” is a hot-and-cold character archetype in anime and manga. The word “tsundere” is a mix between the Japanese onomatopoeias “tsun-tsun” (which means standoffish, cold, or hostile) and “dere-dere” (which means lovey-dovey or affectionate). As a result, tsundere characters are known for seeming harsh or aloof at first, then gradually revealing their softer, more caring side.[1]

Examples of tsundere characters include:

  • Asuka Langley Sohryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion
  • Taiga Aisaka from Toradora
  • Erina Nakiri from Food Wars!
  • Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan
  • Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket
  • Diona from Genshin Impact
  • Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist
  • Shana from Shakugan no Shana
  • Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z
  • Kaguya Shinomiya from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War
  • Damian Desmond from SpyxFamily
  • Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night[2]
