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]
