Most Japanese girls are Tsundere

Name: Anonymous 2006-10-20 20:15

When I reflect back upon my experiences in Japan and the girls I dated I realize that most Japanese girls are tsundere.  They really are some of the sweetest girls ever.  But if you fuck up, they'll sure as hell make sure you know it.

I'll concede that I've only dated 5 J-girls, and perhaps they were just 5 weirdos.  But I have a feeling that's not the case.  Even my teachers and other women I knew were somewhat tsun-tsun one minute, dere-dere the next.

Your thoughts, anonymous?

Tsundere (ツンデレ?) is a Japanese term for a personality that is initially combative (cranky), and then loving (spoony). Tsundere is a combination of the two words tsuntsun (ツンツン?), and deredere (デレデレ?). Tsuntsun is defined as "aloof, morose, pointed"[1], and deredere is defined as "exhausted, lovestruck, logy"[1]. Tsunderekko is a related noun, referring to a girl with a tsundere personality, as meganekko is for a girl with glasses.

The term tsundere was originally inspired by characters from renai video games [citation needed]. The archetypical tsundere character starts in the tsuntsun phase as an unpleasant or violent acquaintance. As the story progresses, the character, often suddenly, enters the deredere phase, becoming more meek and loving. While tsunderekko are not exclusive to Japanese entertainment[2], the term tsundere came about as a result of the need to describe the many tsunderekko found in games and harem anime. Like nekomimi, tsundere is considered a moe-inspiring character trait[2][3].

The term is most often used in English by the anime blogging community, and is beginning to catch on elsewhere. As mentioned previously, it is generally applied to female characters; the male equivalent would be a bishōnen that appears cold and aloof and then becomes caring and loyal. This character type appears to be even more popular among women than the female tsunderekko is among men.
