Tsundere, Yandere, Kuudere, Yangire, Dandere - What's the difference?

Tsundere, Yandere, Kuudere, Yangire and Dandere are five different types of personalities (for girls and boys) that are often used in anime, manga etc. You can recognise them by their behaviour. (In the examples are the characters that I know of)

Tsundere - It's a person with attitude. Usually they start with harsh personality, but slowly they start to show their soft side. Acts very mean, sometimes is violent but inside can be very sweet. They're very moody.

Examples: Taiga Aisaka (Toradora)
                 Fujibayashi Kyou (Clannad)
                 Hiiragi Kagami (Lucky Star)
                 Haruno Sakura (Naruto)




Yandere- They can be described as stalkers. These people can look cute and innocent but they can be highly dangerous. They would kill or attack everyone that will stand against or in between their love. These type of people are psycho and insane.

They can be:
Possessive: Kills their love one, so he or she will not fall in love with someone else.
Obsessive: Kills the competition so she or he can be closer to their love.
Examples: Gasai Yuno (Mirai Nikki)
                Sutcliffe Grell (Kuroshitsuji) - In my opinion he is :D
                Sonozaki Shion (Higurashi no naku koro ni)



Kuudere - The character for the start seems to be cold, quiet, serious and unemotional but she/he can be very sweet and soft in the inside.
Kuudere Example - Angel Beats
Examples: Tachibana Kanade (Angel Beats)
                 Sakagami Tomoyo (Clannad)
                 Iwasaki Minami (Lucky Star)
                 Shiina (Angel Beats)


Yangire- At the beginning Yangire seem to be friendly, nice and cute, but later their personality changes and they become aggressive. It can be a result of mental illness. It's similar to Yandere but it isn't a result of love obsession.

Examples: Ryuugu Rena (Higurashi no naku Koro ni)
Yangire Example - Higurashi no naku koro ni Rena
Dandere - Very quiet person, that rarely speaks and it's very shy. This character avoids contact with other people until the right person comes along. If they get used to someone she/he gets more confident.

Examples: Ichinose Kotomi (Clannad)
                 Hyuuga Hinata (Naruto)

  13. Is Shizuku Mizutani (My Little Monster) a combination of Kuudere & Dandere? I really like her character. I wonder if Koruyukihime (Accel World) is the same? I really like her.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Shizuku is not a dandere, shes just cold to other people rather than being shy, she avoids people because she'd rather do homework than socialize with others. But I guess shes 10% dandere. I don't know about koruyukihime though

  15. I rarely leave a response, however I read a few of the remarks on "Tsundere, Yandere, Kuudere, Yangire, Dandere - What's the difference?".
    I do have some questions for you if you tend not to mind.
    Is it just me or does it appear like a few of these remarks appear like
    they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if
    you are writing on additional online social sites, I would like to follow
    you. Would you post a list of all of all your social community pages like
    your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  22. Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download
    it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements
    would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme.
    With thanks

    1. I have suggestion on a character that is Tsundere and it is Gray Fullbuster from Fairy tail if you read the new chapters of fairy tail gray reveals that he is worried about natsu.( he opens up to natsu) juvia starts to call natsu a love rival.

  53. Here's another example of yangires:
    - Eren Jaeger (How can he NOT be? Well, against titans, yeah)
    - Akashi Seijuuro (He holds his composure, but he's a double personality and has a trauma, and sometimes shows his other side when there's a trigger. Basically, he's mentally ill. I have no idea why is he labeled as a Yandere. Unless he does... "things" to a basketball, yeah sure XD )
    - Me ;\ lol wth
    - Oz Bezarius (Not the wizard lol. Dude he snapped so bad. Unless he likes someone -I haven't watched finish Pandora Hearts so IDK-)
