"Tsundere" is a portmanteau of two Japanese phrases: "tsuntsun" and "deredere" and refers to characters who act hostile to the object of their affections, but secretly (or not-so-secretly) harbor feelings for them.

"Tsundere" is a portmanteau of two Japanese words: "tsuntsun" and "deredere." Tsuntsun is a term for someone who is being aloof, hostile, or cold to another. Deredere is a term for an affectionate character. "Tsundere," therefore, is a character who is alternatively hostile and loving. In a more practical sense, this refers to a character who attempts to hide their feelings for another under a mask of indifference or even dislike. A "tsunderekko" is a tsundere female; more rarely you may see "tsunderekun" for a tsundere male.

Some of the most archetypal tsundere characters include Kimagure Orange Road's Madoka, Neon Genesis Evangelion's Asuka Langley Soryu, and Love Hina's Naru Narusegawa. In more recent years tsundere has come to be considered a subset of moe.

Related terms: yandere, yangiri, moe.
