Tsundere/Anime

Wha—of course you'd find Tsundere characters in anime, idiot! It's from where the language itself came from! Do you even think?!

Type A (Tsun or Harsh)
"Harumi: You uh... You like him? Mikoto: W-What? Harumi: You know, when a girl behaves all cold towards the guy she likes. It was popular a while back... Tsun... Tsun... Tsundara? No... Tsunjire? Mikoto: Not a chance!"
 * Rie Kugimiya is increasingly becoming the to-go seiyuu for diminutive, flat-chested Type As, of which four such roles stand out (and are even produced by J.C.Staff): Shana of Shakugan no Shana, Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere of The Familiar of Zero, Nagi Sanzen'in of Hayate the Combat Butler (complete with an excuse that Hayate Ayasaki is her butler, only to gush in private over her assumption that he dotes on her), and Taiga Aisaka of Toradora! (also a Deconstruction: her violent emotional mood swings and stature complex stem more from having a broken family than romantic issues, making her a borderline Broken Bird). Together, Shana, Louise, Nagi and Taiga are known to fans as the Four Tsundere Wonders.
 * Other cases include Yuuhi Katagiri of Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka, Alisa Bannings from the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series, Mika Kuijin from Kanamemo, Touka Tennouji from Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, Kagura from Gintama, and Hazuki Kurumi of Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel.
 * Touko Matsudaira of Mariasama ga Miteru is a bit of Playing Against Type and Deconstruction: she's a teenage Type A whose Alpha Bitch Facade stems from her
 * J.C.Staff revives Kugimiya's classic type as Aria H. Kanzaki of Hidan no Aria, a full-blown Type A; she's even being considered to be titled the "Fifth Tsundere Wonder".
 * See Shana Clone for more.
 * Hikari from Domina no Do embodies this trope, so much so the only thing missing is being voiced by Rie Kugimiya.
 * Who knows if this becomes an anime
 * Agata Saaya from Sket Dance is a straight-up parody of the archetypal Type A, but is slowly approaching Type B status around Bossun.
 * Ban Mido from GetBackers is extremely tsun-tsun. His dere is revealed only to his Heterosexual Life Partner Ginji, his Not-Quite Little Sister Himiko, and very very rarely to a couple of other characters...if they do something extremely heartwarming and/or heartbreaking.
 * The titlular Inuyasha is a good example of a male type A. Kinda jerk-ish and rather blunt, but he also has his moments where he shows genuine concern for his companions, especially Kagome. His consideration remains clumsy but heartfelt.
 * Mio from The World God Only Knows is a deliberate homage to the Shana Clone trope (which makes one wonder why she didn't get that voice), and she loves to whip Keima. She partially loses her tsun side after her arc.
 * Haqua and Diana are other notable examples from the series.
 * Hell, one can even argue that Keima is a rare male example of this.
 * At the very least,
 * Mari, Keima's mother, also seems to be a tsundere.
 * Aoba from Cross Game is a tough and somewhat tomboyish Tsundere. Most of the plot focuses on her shift to a type B over more than six years.
 * Kirie in Girls Bravo, who is also his Patient Childhood Love Interest. Particularly weird as she may be partly the reason Yukinari is afraid of girls.
 * Naru Narusegawa in Love Hina is such a violent Type A that she's famous for her "Naru punch".
 * Certain fans around the internet believe that Naru's anime incarnation actually counts as a "Failed Tsundere", or rather, a failure at trying to be one. She's so overly violent to the very extreme ends of Type A, that it's almost impossible for her character to even come to terms with the fact that she  Even after she accepts it, she still turns violent at the drop of a hat without giving Keitaro a chance to explain himself. As a contrast, in the manga she is still very hot-tempered, but shows a more sympathetic character development.
 * Not to mention how Motoko Aoyama followed down the same road, going from beating up Keitaro because he gets in her way to beating up Keitaro because she doesn't know how to deal with her growing feelings for him.
 * Ryoko Ookami from Ookami-san. She even looks almost exactly like a taller Taiga Aisaka.
 * Konata in Lucky Star outright designates her friend Kagami as one, complete with the explanation that it's appropriate for girls with twintails. This reference is probably due to the prevalence of tsundere with Girlish Pigtails at a time when the term started to come into general usage.
 * Kagami and Konata are a really good example of how a Tsundere doesn't have to be romantic, as their relationship has a sense of friendly rivalry. Doesn't stop people from interpreting it all as Les Yay though (and the series admittedly seems to like playing with the implications of this trope, being oriented at otakus and all...).
 * In Kagami's dream in the OVA, Konata transformed her (for two seconds) into Rin Tohsaka from Fate Stay Night.
 * The Lucky Channel segment of Lucky Star even includes Minoru Shiraishi giving an extended rant over the term tsundere and how it has evolved over time, from a transitional personality process to someone who switches back and forth constantly.
 * Haruhi Suzumiya starts as a Jerkass. Although she has had some character development, the degree to which she's moved from Jerkass to Jerk with a Heart of Gold, are up for debate. Not yet seen in the anime, but by the fourth book, she's spouting some classic tsundere lines. Although maybe this is just a case of her Genre Savvy nature causing her to deliberately act this way.
 * Kyon has some tsundere tendencies towards Haruhi. Tsundere tactics 1 and 3 come into play often, and on at least one occasion he has almost resorted to violence. Some view the pair as an inverted Takahashi Couple.
 * Lisa Yadomaru in Bleach appears to be one of these, too. Specially towards her ex-leader,, whom she rushes towards when he's laying injured on the ground... and then promptly kicks on the head for pretending to be almost dead.
 * Momo Hinamori's Zanpakutou spirit Tobiume seems to be a bit of a Tsundere. Most of the time she's self-assured, tends to argue with her pal Haineko, and insults Momo over her obsession on Aizen. When she's alone, however, she is fiercely defendant over Haineko's insults over Momo, and proceeds her dere-dere mode: Describing Momo as if she's a Mary Sue.
 * The newest arc gives us another one: Riruka Dokugamine. Come on, not only she's got the temper, but she has Girlish Pigtails and Grade S Zettai Ryouiki!
 * Arguably...Ichigo is a rare male example of this.
 * Also applicable to Jinta in his relationship to Yuzu, Ichigo's sister. He's more the awkward type and usually doesn't know how to act in her presence.
 * Uuryu Ishida constantly claims that he has ulterior motives for helping Ichigo or that he was just passing through. After the, this becomes such an obvious excuse that he stops even bothering to make it.
 * Kazuha Touyama from Detective Conan is a type A thanks to her constant bickering with Heiji.
 * Soryu Asuka Langley of Neon Genesis Evangelion is another particularly extreme and famous example, as most Evangelion characters are for their particular role. Asuka saves her deredere for Kaji, who she crushes on like there's no tomorrow. There's also the memorable scene where she flirted with Shinji to get a reaction out of him and kissed him once claiming it was out of sheer boredom.
 * Asuka flirts at Shinji fairly frequently. Part of the tragedy of their relationship is that Shinji isn't a very open person (neither is Asuka but she tries harder), and can't believe in the possibility of Asuka being interested in him. So she gets frustrated, and tsun is back in town. Shinji/Asuka is the mating dance of the hedgehogs.
 * Exactly. If you're looking for the "deredere" part, you might also find it in the extended version of in the director's cut of episode 22, in which
 * And let's not forget her reaction in episode 10 to  Then next episode
 * Then there's the fantasy sequence in episode 26 (which hints at what the characters' personalities would be like if they weren't so royally screwed up), where Asuka acts like a classic type A tsundere Patient Childhood Love Interest.
 * Arguably, you could lump the last couple minutes of End of Evangelion in here as well...
 * Asuka does show her more gentle side in her relationship with the Class Rep, Hikari, even if Asuka doesn't think much of her taste in boyfriends.
 * In the manga, she acts like a Type B when adults are around, at least at first. Toji in particular is annoyed that the adults can't see past Asuka's fake sweet persona.
 * This would make her something of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing in such a situation.
 * Rebuild of Evangelion's Asuka Langley Shikinami on the other hand is a classic Type A tsundere. She acts rough, sure, but later shows a genuinely sweet side when she attempts to cook for "Baka-Shinji". And later She does this for Rei, who in most incarnations she doesn't care for at all. This alone should clue you in that Asuka Shikinami has more in the way of dere-dere than any of her Soryu counterparts.
 * Asuka's seiyuu, Yuko Miyamura, admitted to occasionally channeling Asuka when she gets angry at her husband.
 * Misato also acts this way towards her old flame, Kaji. In her case, it's mostly driven by the fact that she is still in love with him, but there were very good reasons that their previous relationship didn't work out, and most of those haven't changed.
 * Kaji having a fondness for flirting with other women doesn't help either.
 * Akira Koizumi from Iketeru Futari is usually violently Tsundere towards her "boyfriend" Saji Keisuke. Since Saji is a completely over-the-top idiotic pervert this is initially understandable, but she softens up a lot as she comes to appreciate how much he loves her for who she really is, since she's actually quite a lonely girl. He's also apparently pretty good in bed.
 * In Bakemonogatari, Hitagi Senjōgahara calls herself a Tsundere, although the male character thinks to himself that she's more like a "tundra" (ie a Sugar and Ice Personality), considering that she wouldn't know deredere if it slapped her upside the head, which makes her come across as more of an Ice Queen.
 * Additionally, it's pretty clear that Senjōgahara has a traumatic past driving her actions. Suggesting that she's more of a Cute Psycho who has designated herself a tsundere as a way to justify her rather irrational and violent behavior. She does seem to be getting better though. So maybe she's a Cute Psycho who aspires to be a Tsundere? Since that would be a big step up for her.
 * Apparently, the later light novels  this hypothesis, although her character development is  That's according to The Other Wiki, anyway.
 * Tragically deconstructed in The Slayers in the case of Milina.
 * Lina can be seen as a Tsundere in the anime, specially obvious in the NEXT season where  and later when
 * Mika Seido in Geneshaft who throughout the series yells pretty much everyone at one time or another especially when.
 * Triela from Gunslinger Girl definitely has some Tsundere-ish traits... starting with the twin-tail hairstyle.
 * Teana (towards Subaru) in the third season of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. During their time at the academy, she was often annoyed at her mistakes, and didn't want to become friends with her. However, after meeting her sister and getting to know her better, she starts becoming close to her, but claims that calling her by her first name is merely to distinguish her from Ginga, and has trouble openly admitting how highly she regards her.
 * Also, Alisa from the first season. She gets angry at Nanoha for not telling her about the magic-related problems weighing on her mind, but when Nanoha goes off to search for the Jewel Seeds with the Bureau, she's the first to offer to copy notes for her. When Nanoha returns, Alisa is pleased to see her, but doesn't show it as openly as Suzuka does.
 * Vita has varying degrees of tsun and dere depending on who you are. She's almost completely dere around Hayate after warming up to her by having some of her cooking. Around her friends and fellow Wolkenritter, she can often be blunt and temperamental, but is quite protective of them, especially Nanoha after she was injured on a mission with her. She projects a Stern Teacher image around her pupils, but is blinking back tears while telling them not to cry over their parting.
 * Agito also starts out as this, initially being hostile to everyone except Zest and Lutecia, and eventually warming up to other people, often showing a dere side around.
 * Yoshino in Mariasama ga Miteru, especially whenever Rei teases her about being clingy.
 * Nanaka from Myself Yourself. What is the first thing she does after she meets up with Sana in a long time? Give him a big slap in the face for not even remembering her. Not to mention give him some cold treatment until he finally cools her jets by playing a song that she half-composed as a farewell present on a piano.
 * Takako from Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru, to the point that in the Baker's Dozen OVA, she plays the part of "Tsunderella".
 * Mayo Mitama from Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei is described as a Tsundere by another character, but parodies the type by having a barely evident "dere" side, and a "tsun" side so outright psychopathic that no amount of "dere" could counterbalance it.
 * In episode 5 of the second season, the apologetic Ai Kaga briefly "becomes a tsundere character" for all the wrong reasons... Which prompts Itoshiki to wonder if a tsundere without the dere side is possible nowadays. Manga Fan Girl Harumi Fujiyoshi is quick to reply that it is, since the dere side can be "filled in by imagination". So true, indeed.
 * Natsuki Kuga from My-HiME fits the description, displaying an abrasive exterior but hiding a sensitive side that loves puppies and collecting lingerie.
 * Minor character Akira Okuzaki is also a textbook example, keeping up a rough facade but slowly opening up to her roommate, Mai's brother Takumi.
 * Kagero the Ninja-Girl of Ninja Scroll is a rare example of this trait played for tragedy, as she could not learn to express love and tenderness until it was too late.
 * An early example would be Kasha Imhof (towards Cosmo Yuki) from Space Runaway Ideon, though she is definitely more on the tsun-tsun side throughout the series. The closest she comes to dere-dere is during the Kitty Kitten arc,.
 * Kallen Stadtfeld/Karen Kouzuki from Code Geass. Tough and badass Action Girl at one moment, sweet and vulnerable at the other. At first she thinks Lelouch is an arrogant Jerkass, but adores his alter ego Zero as a brave freedom fighter. After learning his identity, it takes her a while to get adjusted to the concept, but eventually she ends up falling for the man behind the mask.
 * Illustrated perfectly in an official comic that shows Kallen reacting to Lelouch and Zero doing the exact same thing (slashing Milly/Tamaki's expense accounts for frivolous spending) by calling Lelouch a tightwad and reverently admiring Zero for being meticulous.
 * Lelouch himself qualifies as a male example. Normally he's a snarky Magnificent Bastard who calls concepts such as "justice" and "honor" jokes (though typically as part of a Jerkass Facade) and talks down to most people. Despite this, he goes out of his way to protect and look after those close to him, even his best friend-turned-rival and his Mysterious Waif partner with a Sugar and Ice Personality.
 * Sakura from Naruto. She used to be a huge Type A Tsundere over Sasuke (deredere towards the first, tsuntsun towards the latter) when younger. Though she has mellowed out a bit thanks to Character Development, she still keeps quite the flashy temper and is probably more a Type B now. She has been kinder to the main character more often in Part 2 and worries over him a lot more than neccessary. It's not exactly clear if she's a romantic or non-romantic example. Take in consideration that Tsunade is her mentor figure, so...
 * Tsunade. Arguably, she had mellowed with age - then un-mellowed after becoming Hokage with the pressures of high office. Not to mention the pressures of dealing with Naruto every day.
 * Temari is very aggressive (borders on Ax Crazy in her initial appearance) and is definitely troublesome, but she also possesses a softer, more gentle side, and even forms a sort-of relationship with her Chunin exam opponent, Shikamaru. And when they say she has a Paper Fan of Doom, they aren't kidding.
 * Also, Shikamaru's mother Yoshino is quite tsundere-ish, which just goes to show that Nara men have a thing for troublesome women.
 * Ino, like Sakura, was a big one until she mellowed out after the time skip.
 * Karin, too. Tsuntsun toward just about everyone except Sasuke.
 * Kiba's mom Tsume. According to Kiba, she chased away her husband with her aggressiveness.
 * Kushina, Naruto's mother, is a Type B of this trope. Kushina was very violent as a child, yet seems to have mellowed with age though is still feisty. She's a pretty cool reasonable woman, but you piss her off, and you'll find out why she's called The Bloody Habanero!
 * Utakata always denies saving Hotaru, right after saving her.
 * Ironically, Naruto himself could be considered a male type. Naruto was a type A tsundere to his rival/best friend Sasuke but in Part 2, this disappears because of his desire to save him from darkness and return to Konoha, basically becoming a Type B. This of course is a non-romantic example.
 * Kurama, the Nine-Tails. That's right. That giant fox is very tsun-tsun towards Naruto.
 * Nagisa in the manga Yume De Aetara is Tsundere all the way, her tsun-tsun side suffered by her suitors (specially Masao Fuguno) and her dere-dere exposed to her first love (in the manga) or when Fuguno is genuinely honest with her.
 * ChiChi, Goku's Victorious Childhood Friend from Dragon Ball. Then again, you HAVE to be one to deal with an Idiot Hero like Goku in a regular basis...
 * Also, Launch. This was due to a physical split personality disorder, where sneezing would cause her to shift personalities. Dere-dere side is sweet and has blue hair, tsuntsun side is a trigger-happy blonde (unless she's near to Tien, where she acts more deredere)
 * Also Videl at the end of Dragon Ball Z (she mellows out a little after getting the crap beat out of her), and, to a lesser extent, Android #18 after she marries Krillin.
 * Bulma is also somewhat of a tsundere, especially in Dragonball but seemed to mellowed over time.
 * Vegeta and other Can't Catch Up shonen staple types are proto-tsunderes. "Don't be mistaken, it wasn't my intention to save you. I'm the only one allowed to beat you, Kakarot!"
 * Piccolo would qualify as a technically genderless version, even though he's referred to as 'he'. He mostly shows his dere side around Gohan.
 * Yoko Littner from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann fits this trope in the early episodes with her behavior towards Kamina—initially yelling at and chastising him. This stops the moment they kiss and establish a relationship., she becomes a Cool Big Sis.
 * Yoko's behavior toward Kamina is basicly a lid for her massive crush on him that she harbors from the early episodes. Yelling and beatings for his bravado are out of care.
 * Kyouyama Anna from Shaman King serves as a good example of Tsundere, though more of the tsuntsun than the deredere. In the flashback chapters when we witness Yoh and Anna's first meeting, young Anna is very cold to Yoh, saying he's lame and that she cannot believe he's her future husband.  When Yoh promises to become the Shaman King for her, Anna begins to warms up to him. However, she never lets herself go very much into deredere, maintaining that tsuntsun with Yoh by forcing him through incredibly difficult training and often refusing to help him out of near-death situations. However, her affections for him are seen now and again, and it's easy to see in those moments how much Yoh means to her.
 * Cleao Everlasting from Sorcerer Stabber Orphen, starting out extremely tsun-tsun and childish but showing quite the strength and gentleness when she reaches her peaks of dere-dere, specially towards the end of the first series and the second half of the Revenge series, when she takes the Licorice under her wing.
 * In the Revenge series, Eris also fits in the Tsundere archetype, going all googly-eyed for her best friend Majik and yet acting very snarky and tsuntsun towards her Bunny Ears Lawyer instructor Hartia, specially when they go in their... very "special" exploits as super heroes (sorta).
 * Trinity Blood's Astharoshe "Asta" Asran. Her relationship with Abel Nightroad, though not romantic (at least, not in canon), has strong elements of this. At first she violently threatens him (and does so again each time they meet), but comes to see him as one of her closest comrades. And that word is extremely meaningful to Asta.
 * Satomi Ozawa from Narutaru is a quite dark version of this; apart from being one of the main villains, her relationship with her (ex-)boyfriend Bungo Takano is more screwed up than usual. In the manga, she
 * Norio Koga, the resident gay character, is a possible male Tsundere. He's usually a very grouchy guy who likes to tell Takeo Tsurumaru that he hates him (though to be fair, Takeo can be quite an ass) but secretly has romantic feelings for the guy that go as far as His deredere side doesn't show much, and when it does, it's fairly downplayed.
 * Ryoumou Shimei from Ikki Tousen starts as a Heroic Sociopath with Yandere traits, but slowly mellows out as she befriends main character Sonsaku Hakufu and gets into a Slap Slap Kiss dynamics (only darker) with the local Handsome Lech, Sunpo Saji.
 * from Gundam 00 could count as a Tsundere, thanks to
 * There's also some speculation about  also being a Tsundere, specially towards  . In one of the 00 games, when
 * From Hana Yori Dango. Tsukushi is this to Tsukasa, thanks mainly to Tsukasa's initial Jerkass behavior toward her. She even kicks him in the face on one of their first meetings!
 * May Wong from Kaleido Star mixes this with Spoiled Brat and some traits of The Ace, making her dangerously close to a Jerk Sue. Mid-way through the second season, though,
 * Maam, and to a lesser extent Princess Leona, from Dragon Quest: Dai's Great Adventure.
 * Casca of Berserk is a type A tsundere. At the beginning of the series, she wants nothing to do with Guts, won't even give him the time of day, and doesn't understand what the hell Griffith, who she has something of a thing for, sees in him. She's not too shy about the hostility either, even punching Guts at every opportunity. The deredere comes later on in the saga as the two of them learn more about each other's pasts and they get a bit closer, eventually becoming lovers about the time that Griffith gets himself captured and put to the torture. And then the Eclipse goes down.
 * One extremely tragic Type A Tsundere is Oscar from Rose of Versailles.
 * Yui Kotegawa of To LOVE-Ru spends much of her time scolding the other cast members for their (mostly unintentional) indecent behavior, but as the series goes on she finds herself in love with Rito.
 * Yui probably is one of the best example, with her being the Only Sane Haremmette in a crazy-ass Harem filled with aliens, yet still far from being vicious. She scolds Rito very often (as expected), but very rarely abuses him merciless, she learned that most (if not all) of his perversion is accidental, and began to warm up to him...at realistically slow pace. No wonder she's an Ensemble Darkhorse amongst Rito's second-tier prospectors (anyone besides Lala or Haruna).
 * Hiroka Souma from Watashitachi no Tamura-kun.
 * In Hidamari Sketch, Natsume, Sae's Unknown Rival, keeps going up to Sae as if trying to pick a fight, then runs off flustered for some reason. Her actions are enough to identify her as a Schoolgirl Lesbian.
 * Tachibana from Otomen identifies (male) Tonomine as a tsundere/oresama (portmanteau: tsunsama) type (and Tachibana knows his stuff, being himself a mangaka).
 * Shiho Nagaoka from To Heart qualifies as a Type A Tsundere, especially when she develops feelings for Hiroyuki in the last two episodes of the anime.
 * As well as Yuma Tonami from To Heart 2, who finally admits to herself she likes the male lead in the second episode of the 2 part OVA To Heart 2: Another Days.
 * Ruri Himeyuri could also be classified as a Tsundere, given the way she treats Takaaki and how overprotective she is of Sango.
 * The most straight-up Tsundere in School Days is the local Patient Childhood Love Interest, the bossy and no-nosense Alpha Bitch and sportswoman Otome Katou. Her deredere side is more evident in the games, though.
 * Rinslet from Black Cat became a Type A Tsundere in the anime. She is always negative about whatever Sven or Jenos says, frequently screaming things like "That won't work!" or "You idiot!" Unlike in the manga where she was dere about Train, in the anime, she has a few (very, very rare) instances where she is slightly dere towards Sven.
 * Asu no Yoichi has both types. Older sister Ibuki is a very kind, sweet girl who pounds anyone into oblivion when they cross her, specifically Yoichi whenever he shows signs of being an Accidental Pervert. Younger sister Ayame tries to play it cool all the time, but can't always hide her attraction to the samurai.
 * The song "Not so Fast, Sexy Girl" featured as an SD video clip on the Devil Hunter Yohko music video collection, starts of as a slow-paced ballad describing a sexy girl. A guy makes a move on her, she just shrugs her shoulders and smiles... and then, the music suddenly switches to rock as she decides to kick him in the crotch. Yes, even the tune is tsundere.
 * Mikoto Misaka from A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun can be classified as a "tsuntsun" tsundere when it comes to Touma. She follows him around with the excuse of challenging him to a fight.
 * Lampshaded and practically outright called one in Railgun:

"YK: He's the type that can't express friendship very well. It's hard for him to just come out and say things like thank you. MY: He's tsundere. YK: Yeah, that's the word we use now to describe people like him. (laughs)"
 * She's called The Thundere for a reason.
 * Might be better placed as a "deredere", as she is shown in Railgun to be generous to everyone that isn't Touma (and Kuroko, but that's a different story).
 * Technically, she's murderous towards all men and sweet towards other girls. So in a way, she counts in both almost because of how evil she is to one gender and how kind she is to the other. In fact, it might be more of anyone who has a romantic interest towards her or is trying to get together with her is who she would hurt. Then there's the son of the school principal, but that's a whole 'nother story.
 * Accelerator is a male example, being rude and merciless to any who cross him, but also hiding a sweet deredere side that is (mostly) reserved for Last Order
 * Misaka Worst is this towards none other than Accelerator himself. When she's with him, Worst acts like a Jerkass Alpha Bitch and tries to seduce him (most likely to annoy him), but Worst has confess when she's not with him, she loses the will to fight. Again, Tsuntsun to Accelerator's face, Deredere when he's not around.
 * Kaname Chidori in Full Metal Panic!!. Her dominant 'tsun' side is mostly because Sousuke is more commonly detonating parts of the school building and traumatizing her fellow students than doing anything worth going 'dere' over.
 * She's also ONLY 'tsun' towards Sousuke, though she will speak up against jerks/bullies (which actually gets her into trouble several times in Fumoffu). To everyone else, she's pretty balanced.
 * Kaname's backstory suggests this is due to her American upbringing which made her too outspoken and aggressive to fit into Japanese culture. Apparently American women are considered Tsundere by default.
 * In the novels, Nami is a Type A with everyone else, but very much a Type B, pure dere-dere when with Sousuke. Originally shown to be going towards being a Type A with him by being exceedingly rude and hot-tempered, he manages to get her to fall for him and become completely dere-dere by being extremely polite and respectful to her (something no one else had really done).
 * Kafuko from Space Pirate Mito is Type A who usually uses The Smirk on Aoi, the protagonist, to try and hide her crush on him. She also tries to discourage another girl that she notices getting close to Aoi by listing off all his faults, but only ends up revealing her crush and encouraging the girl instead.
 * Utau Hoshina of Shugo Chara—mainly towards Amu Hinamori (because she refuses to admit she's her friend) and Kukai Souma (because she refuses to admit she may or may not like someone other than her brother).
 * One of the Trope Codifiers: Sayaka Yumi from the Mazinger Z series, Kouji's hot-tempered and often downright slap-happy partner and girlfriend, and one of the first Tsundere girls given a major role in almost any anime/manga. Her Type varies: she's a Type B in the original manga, but a Type A in the anime series.
 * Apart from Sayaka, several main female characters created by Go Nagai have strong Tsundere traits. The newest one is Tsubaki Tamashirou from Kotetsushin Jeeg, who acts rather similar to Sayaka in regards to her best friend and Love Interest, Kenji Kusanagi.
 * Justified with Jun Honou from Great Mazinger, in that being half-African, there are feelings of frustration that make her irritable at times and aren't related to her relationship with Tetsuya Tsurugi. Of course, it wouldn't be so bad if Tetsuya was not as Tsundere as Jun.
 * Maria Grace Fleed from UFO Robo Grendizer was another Tsundere. She definitely was Type A -Kouji has slap marks to prove it-.
 * Kasumi/Misty from Pokémon is a Type A. She can be violent and furious, complete with wielding a mallet-of-doom (especially in the beginning or when you mention the word "bike" around her) or motherly, caring and romantic (especially after obtaining Togepi). Early seasons seem to hint that this is because of the lead-character of the show, Satoshi/Ash, yet later seasons make it less obvious and let her become more deredere than tsuntsun.
 * Musashi/Jessie is a more extreme version of the Type A Tsundere, as she has pretty intense mood swings.
 * Officer Jenny is usually one of these. They vacillate between A and B in their various incarnations, but every one of them has a quick temper and a nice side.
 * Yuriko Star from Irresponsible Captain Tylor. She's a rare example of a Tsundere whose behavior is due to environment rather than nature or issues; being as much the Straight Man (well, Straight Woman) as Yamamoto, yet lacking his reluctance to physically assault a superior officer, it's only natural she acts the way she does around an irritating, flirtatious goofball like Tylor. She's debatably the healthier one of the two - poor Yamamoto essentially ends up an addict to tranquilizers and something called a "neuro-cleanser" for quite a while.
 * Niche of Letter Bee is a rather extreme one. Default mode: rude and violent. Occupation: Dingo for Letter Bee Lag Seeing. Likes: Lag Seeing. Dislikes: armor bugs, when Lag talks to girls with larger chests than her own, or to almost everyone else, for that matter, and underpants, especially the little ones that go "pi" when Niche moves.
 * This final element is actually more relevant than it appears. Whether or not Niche is wearing pants is a good way to read her feelings toward Lag. If she is seen with them on, she's probably in deredere mood; without them, it's tsuntsun. But then again, we did say that her default mood was pure tsuntsun. Even her deredere side is extremely rude, but that could just be her lack of social skills.
 * Moka Akashiya of Rosario + Vampire is an interesting take on the concept; Inner Moka is very tsuntsun, but when she wears her rosario she becomes the deredere Outer Moka. One of protagonist Tsukune's major hurdles is that, if he wants to date Moka, he has to convince her cold and proud inner personality that he's good enough for her.
 * It is working, with Inner Moka actually showing her own deredere side, independent of Outer Moka. Moe ensues.
 * You forgot one. Her most Moe moment yet.
 * Alice and Elliot from Pandora Hearts.
 * Aki Izayoi from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's combines this with Defrosting Ice Queen, starting off (quite justifiably) tsuntsun toward just about everyone, but eventually seemingly warming up to Yuusei. She basically becomes more of a Type B, Moe girl by season three, though.
 * Mai Kujaku/Valentine and Jou/Joey from the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, often towards each other. Though it takes some defrosting following her first defeat to bring out the former's dere.
 * In the Sailor Moon manga, Rei Hino/Sailor Mars is a Tall, Dark and Bishoujo Defrosting Ice Queen. In the anime, however, she's more outspoken and Hot-Blooded, fitting as a Type A Tsundere quite well. She starts out very tsuntsun, switching a bit more to deredere as time passes; she specially acts like this towards Mamoru (first season only; she backs off as soon as he and Usagi are revealed to be each other's true loves), Yuuichirou, and specially towards Usagi.
 * Usagi's cat, Luna, is Tsundere for Artemis, her Dogged Nice Guy.
 * In the anime, Sailor Lead Crow was this to her partner Sailor Aluminium Seiren. Even if you don't ship them together, you can't ignore how Lead Crow nagged on her partner but ultimately cared for her.
 * Roger Smith from The Big O is a good example of a male tsundere.
 * Ishida "Matt" Yamato from Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 is a male example. This is confirmed by his seiyuu, Kazama Yuuto, and Gabumon's seiyuu, Yamaguchi Mayumi, in an interview included with the Japanese DVD boxset of the series.

"Izumo: I hate you! But... thanks anyway..."
 * How has Rika Nonaka from Digimon Tamers not been mentioned? She starts off as an apparent Jerkass (her "tsun" side), but through the wonders of Character Development, we eventually see that she does, in fact, have a "dere" side, shown now and then in her interactions with Takato.
 * Tai Kamiya and Sora Takenouchi, from Digimon Adventure, have some Tsundere tendencies towards each other.
 * Gareki from Karneval is a Type A male version, especially when Yogi teases him.
 * In fact, both Yogi and Tsukumo are awestruck at his surprising deredereness innocence regarding snow (which he had never seen) at one point in the manga.
 * Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop starts the series as a Jerk Sue angry con artist who continually cheats and insults the people around her. But for most of the series she is a Type A Tsundere as her tough veneer is punctuated by moments of childlike openness.
 * Wolfram in Kyo Kara Maoh complains about Yuuri about as much as he's grouchily possessive of him, and despite being quasi-'dominant', looks more girly than him. In one OVA episode, another character actually uses the word tsundere to describe him.
 * He mellows down in season three... unless, of course, Yuuri has done something wrong.
 * Even then, Wolfram never seemed terribly jealous of, and even accepted him, even though Yuuri seemed to get way too close to him by Wolfram's standards.
 * Tsuyukusa from Amatsuki is pretty much the epitome of an Tsundere; he becomes easily flustered when either Heihachi or Toki is involved, and has used pretty much every stock tsundere expression in the book at least once. The series also has several other examples of tsundere in its cast, the most notable being Kuchiha and Tsuruume.
 * Also, his relationship with Bonten strangely resembles that of a tsundere and Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Now that's when Tsuyukusa becomes all snarky, rude and flustered.
 * Axis Powers Hetalia has several characters that fit this character type:
 * England is the embodiment of this trope. He's heavy on The Smirk, especially when around America. When he's in deredere mode, though, he sometimes shows such vulnerability that he qualifies as The Woobie.
 * Switzerland is a combination of this and He Was Never My Heterosexual Life Partner to Austria. The Gunslinger is especially fond of The Violent Approach (duh).
 * As for the dere part, just catch him when together with his little sister Liechtenstein.
 * Himaruya actually calls Germany a Tsundere in the notes. It's hard to tell his exact type given his usually staid demeanour.
 * Germany seems to be a Type A fond of a mix between Cold Shoulder and Smirk (less about merely throwing insults around or having mood swings, more about being grumpy and a Drill Sergeant Nasty to Italy). He's usually a 'take no guff' guy around everybody, but you can just tell he's making exceptions for Italy. To hammer on the point, the Valentines strip has Germany going pretty much into full-blown deredere mode.
 * South Italy is a fierce mix of all Tsun Type A varieties, partially out of insecurity that Spain only wants him for his inheritance, and partially because he's not a good cook/housekeeper like his younger brother. And yep, Romano's Tsundere side is specially strong when around Spain.
 * Korea, of course, claims to have invented tsundere (all types, presumably). Not one himself, more like an Annoying Younger Sibling with traits of Hopeless Suitor towards China and Japan.
 * It's speculated that the Holy Roman Empire was a tsundere (or maybe a Sugar and Ice Personality) for Chibitalia.
 * In Fanon, Norway is often portrayed as a really violent tsundere towards Denmark. May not be so fanon after all, considering one of the few Nordic-centric strips has Norway strangling Denmark with a tie for putting his feet in his mouth about him and Iceland. His deredere side? Demanding to have Iceland call him "Onii-chan" (dear brother), a term of endearment usually used by children.
 * Belarus is a hardcore Type A tsundere towards Lithuania, altho she never showed her deredere side towards him yet (fanfictions excluded).
 * Wy was one toward Sealand in Hetaween 2011, insisting that it was a "coincidence" that she is wearing the dress he told her to wear. Lampshaded by Seborga, who commented that she must have been influenced by England (mentioned above).
 * And now we have Molossia. He flips Sealand, Seborga and Wy off when they ask him to be their new friend, but runs back to join them as soon as they leave. He also shows signs of being very self-conscious about letting his other side being seen.
 * Yue from Magical X Miracle is a male example. He only snaps into true deredere mode for a few pages during the final chapter before reverting to tsuntsun.
 * Dojo from Toshokan Sensou (Library War) is a textbook example of a Type A Tsundere, utilizing mostly tactics 2 and 3. He's gruff and businesslike towards everyone, but he takes it to an extreme when he's around Kasahara. At the beginning of the series she complains that he works her hardest during training. He protects her because he secretly does care, but then he brushes it off as just part of his job and often shouts at her. Their flirting begins as awkward shouting matches and snide comments, but towards the end of the series Dojo makes some sweet gestures that he then ruins
 * Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket acts this way with Tohru. He starts out being grumpy with her, but then he will try to be nice, while being embarrassed about it. Or else he'll do something nice but deliver it in a grumpy manner; a good example of this is when he serves her leek soup (his most loathed food) when she's sick.
 * There's also a subversion in regards to . She was starting to shape up as a Type A Tsundere, according to  's testimony (he remembers her yelling at him, then stopping herself and picking up a bowl gently), but at some point she completely lost it (read:  ) and It Got Worse.
 * Rin Sohma (for Haru and Tohru) and Hiro Sohma (to Kisa) are also good examples.
 * Dr. Black Jack apparently was a Tsundere when in medical school, according to his ex-girlfriend Megumi.
 * Also from the same series, there is Watou, a female Kendo Team Captain and the older sister of Pinoko's Dogged Nice Guy Sharaku.
 * In xxxHolic, Kimihiro Watanuki is most often this towards Shizuka Doumeki (with occasional instances where he shows his dere-dere side). Especially noticeable in this instance. Towards beautiful women, however, he's pure deredere.
 * Chiharu Mihara from Cardcaptor Sakura alternates between slapping her crush Yamazaki around for his outrageous lies or acting very sweet and awkward when they're in private... only to slap him again when he completely misses the point of her advances.
 * Li Syaoran also shows this trait. Grumpy and tsuntsun towards lots of people, but simply adorable and VERY deredere if you're Yukito or Sakura.
 * Syaoran's  tsundere-ness is even more evident   in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, where he is eventually joined in this by yet another male Tsundere: the ninja Kurogane, who starts out pure tsuntsun but eventually reveals a deredere side first when he meets a lookalike of his princess (Tomoyo-hime) in Piffle World (and Fai teases him about this—but then again, Fai teases him about everything), and then  and a great display of "Kuro-rin"'s "deredere" side.
 * Domon Kasshu from G Gundam develops some Tsundere traits as a part of his Character Development in the second part of the series. Some of his later scenes with his partner Rain Mikamura mark the point very nicely.
 * If you like your Ho Yay and are a Romeo X Juliet fan, you're likely to see the axe fighter Curio as an Tsundere towards his partner Francisco. Hence why the Fan Nickname "Fye and Kurogane" is so popular within fandom.
 * Souichi from The Tyrant Falls in Love is antisocial and ill-tempered to pretty much everyone, but doles out most of his punches, kicks, and verbal abuse to Morinaga. Except for when he accidentally lets slip signs that he cares for Morinaga more than he'd like to admit, upon which he's reduced to furious blushing and stammered-out denials. It certainly doesn't help that Souichi's supposed to be a homophobe, which severely hinders him from accepting the idea of him being in love with another man, much less being affectionate towards one.
 * Yuichi Kazuki of Only the Ring Finger Knows is kind, polite, and friendly to everyone he meets... except to Wataru Fujii, the guy he likes, because he doesn't know how to deal with his feelings for another male. His uncharacteristically cold and snarky (The Cold Shoulder tactic) behavior towards Wataru provokes the latter into employing his own type of Tsundere tactic (The Violent Approach) upon him out of frustration. Yuichi grows out of this somewhat in the sequel novels following their Relationship Upgrade, but still has occasional bouts of Tsundere-ness (and it's actually implied that his kind demeanor to everyone else was actually a mask he put on to please them and that his teasing behavior toward Wataru is reflective of his true personality, which makes him an odd mix of both Tsundere types).
 * Hibiki Tokai from Vandread, having grown up in a world where men and women were raised separately and conditioned to view each other as mortal enemies, is completely clueless as to how to act around girls. Even once he starts to open up to Dita, he fiercely denies becoming close to the opposite gender. Definitely the "doesn't believe that men should show weakness" variety.
 * Takuto Kira from Full Moon o Sagashite is probably the best example of the male type A tsundere, having all the traits of your average tsundere characters, showing all the tsuntsun traits 1 through 3, yet shows a very deredere side mostly through physical actions of kindness. He is prone to blushing and changing the subject whenever given a compliment or a "thank-you", especially from Mitsuki, the girl of his affections. His tsun-tsun side gradually fades to the more dere-dere side, especially towards the end of both the manga and the anime.
 * Cloudcuckoolander Umino Masachika from Satou Kashi no Dangan wa Uchinukenai fits this at times. When asked why she told her new "good friend" to go to hell in the middle of class, she responded that it was "an expression of love!"
 * Ninin ga Shinobuden has Miyabi.
 * Shinichi Chiaki in Nodame Cantabile is a male Type A towards Nodame, showing his mild deredere side quite infrequently, and only when they are alone.
 * Student Council's Discretion: Minatsu is now confirmed as having a dere not tsun side, so now we can list her.
 * Nyan Koi: Both Akari Kirishima and Kanako Sumiyoshi are Type A tsunderes.
 * Eureka Seven: Talho has more than a bit of this in her relationship with Holland.
 * In the movie version, Eureka displays a trait of tsundere towards Renton. Completely unlike her TV self.
 * Kämpfer: Akane, in her powered up form. She's type B when normal.
 * Megumi from Tenshi na Konamaiki is deredere towards girls (especially Miki) but usually tsuntsun towards guys, most notably Genzo. This is probably because she used to be male.
 * A non-romantic (we think) version in Game X Rush: Memori is this towards Yuuki, complete with for-the-lulz physical violence, blushing, and "I'm not doing this for you." Yuuki occasionally displays this towards Memori, as when Memori 'fell asleep on guard duty' to let Yuuki leave the hospital; Sayako sometimes displays this towards both boys, blushing and reprimanding them for failing to treat her as their boss (which she technically isn't).
 * In the ecchi manga My Balls, Elise gradually develops a crush on the male protagonist which leads to gradual emergence of her deredere side. Recently she was even revealed to have a conscience that, instead of the traditional Good and Evil, consists of her Tsuntsun and Deredere tendencies.
 * Kei of Project ARMS. She's like this with the entire team, although most it centers around Hayato, who has Unresolved Sexual Tension with her.
 * Revy of Black Lagoon is a borderline psychotic version of this. When she's being angry and confrontational she's bad enough, but when she lapses into Whitman Fever during the Nazi arc, she's even worse. She has even tried to shoot Rock on two different occasions during the first season, with her "dere-dere" side surfacing during the "Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise" arc from the second season (though there was that time she saved Rock at the end of the first season, something she swore she would never do).
 * Other dere-dere moments include: inviting Rock to join the Lagoon Company at the end of Episode Two, the infamous "Cigarette Kiss" in Episode Seven, threatening to kill Gretel if she ever fucks with Rock again (Hey, we did mention that Revy was psychotic?), and trying to stop Rock from watching  suicide. She also smiles several times at Rock during the Yakuza Arc.
 * Arguably, especially in the manga, her more dere-dere tendencies are surfacing explicitly because the tsuntsun morals and values she was making clear to Rock early on are taking hold. While mostly not her doing, Roanapur is turning Rock into something akin to Chang or Balalaika. Benny even says that a lot of the city (that spent most of the series pushing him around as the weakling outsider) has become terrified of him after his handling of the Baile de la Muerte affair, with his plan leading to who'd avoided sustaining any casualties when facing dozens, if not hundreds of hired guns and Cuban soldiers.
 * Possibly worse still: Rock even says that he's enjoying being so manipulative.
 * The first ending theme of Toradora! describes the relationship of a Type A Tsundere perfectly. Check it out! The quality is kinda bad, so you might want to watch it on full screen.
 * In Junjou Romantica, Tsundere-ness is basically a requirement for the Uke of any shown couple. Special mention for Hiroki, who being older, more advanced in his career, and less likely to be seen doing housework than Nowaki, is coded as Uke pretty much entirely via his looks and his tsundere tendencies.
 * Ebisu-san and Hotei-san portrays a Tsundere as a three-dimensional, fully-fleshed character.
 * There are two tsunderes in Junsui Adolescence: the main character Nanao Okumura and her friend Kiiko.
 * Reiji (nicknamed "Rage") from Gravitation is an amazing example, going from shooting Shuichi with a bazooka to declaring her love for him all on the same page.
 * Rozen Maiden has three. Shinku is the first one we meet. She tells Jun that he is her "servant" and physically abuses him when he does something she doesn't like. (Everything from slapping him in the face to shoving her heavy case into his leg.) Her deredere side shows itself more as the Rozen Maiden franchise progresses. Suiseseki likes Jun, but generally shows him her Tsun-tsun side. She is haughty, rude, and it takes one season for her to admit she even likes him. Her deredere side is only triggered when  Suiseseki is the resident screwy squirrel of the bunch on top of that. Sugintou in Traumend begins as a type A. After being awakened by her medium Megu, Sugintou promptly tells her that she doesn't need a medium. She begins to show her deredere side as soon as both girls begin to talk about
 * The Trimens, from Fairy Tail, a team from Blue Pegasus consisting of mages that are tsun towards all men, and dere towards women.
 * Empty Night Ren just acts this way towards everyone, though. As shown here.
 * "Charle" (or "Carla" as Crunchyroll prefers to call her) is this way towards (mostly) anyone who isn't Wendy, especially the "he-cat" Happy; ironic considering that Happy (a non-tsundere) is voiced by none other than Rie Kugimiya, who as mentioned above is well known for her tsundere roles.
 * Ushio from Shinshi Doumei Cross is generally cold, but defrosts around Haine - and later Senri and Maora, reluctantly.
 * A twofer in R.O.D the TV, Anita King and Nenene Sumiregawa. It also serves as the basis for a friendship/mutual respect early on in the series.
 * Male example with Manabizaki from SWOT. He's usually foul-tempered and really gruff and dismissive. No, he didn't come to save you—he was just on his way to the test/class/study-session and the bad guys got in the way. He doesn't like Hasuno. She's a damned ex-delinquent and the people attacking her were making too much noise, so he couldn't study properly. What?! No, he is not blushing!
 * Ushio and Tora has a fairly classic tsundere in Asako. More interesting, though, is that Tora is one of the rare clear male examples - he refuses to admit that he considers Ushio a friend and generally goes ballistic if anyone implies that they like each other. He also consistently threatens and attacks Ushio (Violent Approach, check), insults him (Taunt, check), or tries to simply ignore him. (Cold Shoulder, check.) Never the less, he always shows up to help Ushio in tight spots, often with a " Don't get me wrong, I just..." excuse. (Defender, check.) All in all, it's pretty obvious they share a strong trust and respect for each other; they just won't admit it. In later chapters Tora developes a very similar (but less violent and far more romantical) relationship to Mayuko, who's life he keeps saving. What is his motivation for going out of his way to help these people he claims he doesn't like? He's the only one allowed to eat them. (Which, of course, he never gets around to doing.)
 * Misaki Ayuzawa, main character and aggressive female Student Council President from Kaichou wa Maid-sama is a pretty textbook example of Type A, though having to bully the uncooperative guys of what used to be an all-boys school into line kind of explains it. Still, her interactions with most of the student body (the boys mostly, though there are a few exceptions), and Usui in particular are pretty much by-the-book for the character type.
 * Kaori Makimura from City Hunter is a pretty classic Type A, with her wrath most often triggered by Ryo's mokkori ways. Expect hammers labeled "100 tons" or "National Shame" to follow. But if Ryo does anything affectionate towards her, blushing ensues.
 * Another male example, Saku from Sora no Manimani. "It's not that I like her or anything!".
 * Yuru-Yuri has a pair of type A tsunderes in Sakurako and Himawari. With this pair of tsunderes, these two are actually tsundere for each other.
 * For the one-sided example, refer to none other than Ayano "TOSHINO KYOUKO!" Sugiura.
 * Hellsing's very own Integra in the Manga acts highly Tsundere upon the portions of the story that isn't about gore and war, flinging BAKA and URUSAI at Alucard when he pushes her buttons. Or when Seras brings up something that embarrasses her around Alucard or about Alucard at the end. Seras acts like this too towards Pip Bernadotte.
 * Kaoru of Nana to Kaoru is a sterling example of a male tsundere - on the surface, anyway. His reason for giving his childhood friend Nana the cold shoulder isn't because he can't bring himself to admit an attraction to her, but that she must not discover that he's in love with her, because A) she's destined for greatness and a loser like him would just slow her down B) it would probably end their "breathers" if he couldn't be a good dom. Yet he keeps slipping up and acting chivalrously, going the extra mile, complimenting her and so on - it's hilarious and adorable. Nana has her tsuntsun moments as well.
 * Alto Saotome in Macross Frontier as a facet of his character, which causes a dynamic between one of the points of the Love Triangle, who is listed under Type B.
 * Saiyuki has Sanzo as the male example. He is short-tempered, has little patience with anyone, a foul mouth and attitude, and constantly shoots people (even those in his party) while spewing death threats over the slightest annoyance.  Every once in a while, however, he is a lot calmer in talking with Hakkai without the need of violence, and genuinely cares for Goku among the others of the group (whether he admits it or not) that he gets even more pissed when they're particularly injured or in danger. In cases where his party passes by a town in need (where the monster of the episode may be lurking), he also is charismatic and shows a bit of care in the welbeing of whoever the party has to save (namely female one-of characters).
 * Hanaukyo Maid Tai La Verite. Ryuuka is harsh and insulting to her intended husband Taro most of the time (e.g. calling him "midget"), but will on rare occasions show her attraction and liking for him.
 * Kirino Kousaka is a heavy tsuntsun towards her brother Kyousuke. It's only at the end of the anime that she finally admits that deep down she actually appreciates him.
 * In a lesser case, both Kyousuke himself and their father Daisuke count as well. Clearly It Runs in The Family.
 * Ayako from Mamoru-kun Ni Megami no Shukufuku Wo - she displays the most explosive temper towards just about anyone who pisses her off, but is absolutely dere-dere towards her beloved Mamoru.
 * Though her confession of her feelings towards Mamoru at the very start of the series was rather tsun-tsunish in approach (and it was perhaps the only time he was intimidated by her).
 * Beatrice. Good GOD Beatrice! All the games she's been playing with Battler.
 * Halvir Hroptr in the manga Crimson Spell is an Insufferable Genius with very little consideration for other people. He deres only for Prince Vald (himself a Type B provoked into tsun behavior by Havi's Jerkass behavior).
 * In Blue Exorcist, Izumo Kamiki would definitely qualify.


 * Rin would count as a mild example. Ryuuji "Bon" Suguro is also this, but only toward Rin. He's actually relatively nice to everyone else.
 * Victorique from Gosick.
 * If Maka does wind up with Soul, then it would stand to reason that she acts tsundere toward him - heavy on the tsun, but occasionally going into dere mode when either is in serious danger.
 * Misato from Nichijou is HEAVY on the tsun. She attacks her love interest AND anyone who makes even the slightest reference to her possibly having feelings for him. And by heavy, we mean heavy artillery. She once misinterprets a question about her cooking as a question about her getting married to him.
 * Her Hyperspace Arsenal style of tsundere-ness led to many fans calling her a "gundere."
 * Fujimura, the titular character of Fujimura-kun Mates, a rare male example. Lampshaded, too!
 * Kyoko Sakura in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. She acts hostile towards Sayaka because she disapproves of her values, but she develops a soft spot for her. Made obvious in episode 7, when she tries to help Sayaka, only to go back to being angry and aloof when her advice is refused. And in episode 9,
 * Chitose from Goldfish Warning is 50-50 on tsun-sun dere-dere, but the sweetness is completely artificial. The exact same can be said for her rival Yurika.
 * Kotobuki Nanase from Bungaku Shoujo is a typical Type A tsundere. She is harsh towards her classmate Konoha Inoue but eventually shows her dere side (in the third OVA and book).
 * Yui from Houou Gakuen Misoragumi is very violent towards Kei and often hits her, even as he's blushing and admitting his feelings. Notable in that he has trouble admitting even non-romantic feelings.
 * From The Prince of Tennis, Kaidoh Kaoru and perhaps Shishido Ryou can be considered male versions of this. Both are rather snappish (although Kaidoh sort of grows out of it by the end of the series), but Kaidoh enjoys playing with cats (specifically Ryoma's, when it wanders away) and is much less harsh towards his sempai, especially Inui. Shishido softens up whenever he's around his doubles partner, the male Yamato Nadeshiko Ootori.
 * Kaidoh's status as a Tsundere is taken Up to Eleven in the Dating Sims, if you (as the player) choose him as the main girl's love interest.
 * Fuji's younger brother Yuuta has textbook tsundere reactions towards either his sempai and specially his older brother.
 * Once she starts getting over her Yandere phase, Mariko Shinobu from Oniisama e... shows some tsundere traits towards her friends and Takeshi.
 * Makise Kurisu of Steins;Gate depicts clear signs of this in her relationship with Okabe. It's even lampshaded by Daru early in the series.
 * Misaki from Hana no Mizo Shiru starts out this way. He's very reserved, and frequently acts irritated towards Arikawa (understandably, after he embarasses the poor boy in public by telling him that he loves him in his dreams). He gradually warms up to him, though, acting less irritable over time and getting flustered in his presence. By the time they, he's lost most of his tsun, and mostly comes across as shy rather than standoffish.

Type B (Dere or Sweet)
"Kotetsu: Um, uh... did you just call me... Tomoe: Ah! Um! I-I-I just thought Kotetsu T. Kaburagi w-was too long, so I thought I would give you a little nickname!
 * Rockna from Mon Colle Knights is a mix between this and Yandere. Mostly sweet and innocent, but becomes violent towards her dad or Mondo when they act rudely or hit on other girls.
 * Keiko Yukimura from Yu Yu Hakusho, kind and helpful towards everyone unless she's dealing with Yuusuke. And even then, the possibility of having Yuusuke seriously hurt or dead sends her into tears, if not into an Heroic BSOD.
 * Yamada from B Gata H Kei is an adorably perverted Cloudcuckoolander, until she gets near Kosuda. For bonus points, "B Gata" actually means "Type B".
 * Akane Tendo and Ukyou Kuonji from Ranma ½, though how much they actually fit this trope is subject to fan interpretation: some fans feel that Akane started out as a Type B tsundere in the manga but became a Type A as the manga went on (or was turned into Type A in the anime), or that Ukyou is actually a minor Yandere who's publicly friendly and affectionate but gets violent simply from being impatient or flustered (or Tsundere toward Ryoga instead, which might be why the two are a popular Fan-Preferred Couple).
 * Another Takahashi example: both Lum and Shinobu Miyake from Urusei Yatsura. Yeah, try managing an Unwanted Harem with two Tsundere as the main contenders. Of course, Ataru wants the harem, so he deserves what he gets.
 * It should be noted that, unlike most tsunderes, Lum's problem is less with Ataru being a pervert and more with him being unfaithful—perhaps because she's Not So Different, she understands his desires to see girls naked or go on dates, she just wants him to do all that with her, rather then chasing after random women in the street. She is still a bit bad-tempered and * very* possessive of him.
 * Yet another Tsundere by Rumiko Takakashi (wow, she seems to really love the trope) is Kagome Higurashi from Inuyasha. Note that she warmed up to Inuyasha quite faster than the other Takahashi Tsundere towards their love interests, though.
 * Sango, another main character, is also a tsundere to an extent towards her love interest Miroku but when not provoked she's basically a Yamato Nadeshiko.
 * Kyoko Otonashi from Maison Ikkoku expresses Tsundere qualities as a subversion of the Yamato Nadeshiko personality: basically, her outwardly perfect Japanese housewife persona hides her childish, almost bipolar bouts of tsundere-ness.
 * Kyoko is interesting in that when we meet her parents, we discover that her mother is a Tsundere and in flashbacks, that Kyoko was even more openly a Tsundere in her youth. (Interacting with her parents seems to bring this out in her). It's as if Kyoko is the mascot for teenage Tsunderes who manage to grow-up and become the Yamato Nadeshiko that most of them want to be. However, her old Tsundere behavior is still there, ready to breakout if she relives old childhood experiences.
 * Notable in that she is a widow, and in Fan Fiction the loss of her Love Interest is a common method for changing a Tsundere into a Yamato Nadeshiko. As stated in the main body of this article, "if her Tsundere personality re-emerges, it's probably a sign that she's learned to love again."
 * Another possible "matured" Tsundere is Princess Ayeka of Tenchi Muyo! fame. She attempts to put on a Yamato Nadeshiko personality, but is certainly suppressing violent tendencies (even in the OVA, where she has a much sweeter personality). The trigger for her adoption of the Yamato Nadeshiko personality? The loss of her Love Interest and half-brother, Yosho. Of course, she targets her violence out on to her rival rather then her Love Interest.
 * This seems to be the main Les Yay argument put forward for Ryoko and Ayeka.
 * Kiyone sometimes is interpreted as one as well. Particualrly in her relationship with Mihoshi (who from Kiyone's perspective might be considered a weird form of The Rival combined with The Load). Since Mihoshi is a Genius Ditz, the constant clash is widely interpreted as Les Yay.
 * Little House With an Orange Roof - Natsumi Tachibana is one of these, though her ex-husband's rampant infidelity is more reason than a Tsundere usually has.
 * Liz Ricarro from IGPX is a more muted tsundere - her arguments with Takeshi don't always extend to violence; most of the time they get along more or less fine, she usually has a concrete reason for berating or attacking him (Takeshi does kind of have an ego), and both are trained martial artists anyway. Takeshi puts it best in episode 2: "If you're not screaming, you're not happy."
 * Anime Chinese Girl Fa Yuiri from Zeta Gundam also qualifies as Type B Tsundere in regards to her neighbor and partner Kamille Vidan, specially when Sarah Zaviaroff or Rosamia Badam are nearby. In the sequel Gundam ZZ, where the more mature Fa is the Team Mom, Elle Vianno and later Roux Rouka (though she's a bit more of a Defrosting Ice Queen) become the local Tsundere.
 * Ran Mouri in Detective Conan. Since she's a national-ranked karate girl, her violent tendencies come in handy more than once, though.
 * Seigaku Fan Girl and local Tomboy Tomoka "Tomo-chan" Osakada from The Prince of Tennis, contrasting with her girly best friend Sakuno Ryuzaki. Tomoka is very open about her crush-like admiration for "Ryoma-sama", acts very sweet and protective of Sakuno, behaves cheerful and tomboyish towards others in general and has a borderline Slap Slap Kiss relationship with another of Ryoma's friends, local Chew Toy Satoshi Horio.
 * The manga and the anime show Ryoma's mother, Rinko Echizen nee Takeuchi, as being quite the Tsundere towards her boyfriend and later husband Nanjiroh, before their marriage. Nanjiroh seems to like his girls feisty, too, since he teases Rinko a lot about her rather flat chest in the first stages of their relationship.
 * Eiji Kikumaru can also count as this, for at least one instance. He's usually a happy, bouncy sort of character, but when Oishi injures himself and he is forced to play a singles match, he proceeds to put on his serious and totally wreck his opponent.
 * Mai Tokiha from My-HiME flips back and forth between "hot" and "cold" around Yuuichi Tate, as she occasionally has to deal with his practical jokes and moments of perversity (accidental and otherwise), and the Clingy Jealous Girl who always hangs around him. Being the new girl in town, she still wants to do right by everybody... even him.
 * Kagura Sohma from Fruits Basket is a rather curious mix of Tsundere and Yandere, having the temper of the first type and some bits of the latter's insanity.
 * Jun "The Swan" from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is a kind and dedicated girl who cares deeply for her teammates, but she has quite a temper on her as well. Odd example in that her temper is usually set off by adopted little brother Jinpei or Dumb Muscle Ryu's wisecracks rather than her crush Ken.
 * Kazuki from Tona Gura is shown in the beginning to be a nice girl who is looking to her childhood friend moving back next door. Her "tsun-tsun" side emerges upon discovering that said childhood friend had grown up to become a pervert.
 * Later, though, she.
 * In The King of Fighters manga and games "KoF: KYO" by Masato Natsumoto, which centers specifically around Kyo Kusanagi's story, Kyo's girlfriend Yuki is re-written as a Type B Tsundere who can alternate between being genuinely kind to her friends (specially Athena and Shingo), hitting Kyo with schoolbooks for being Late for School before smiling sweetly at him, yelling at Iori Yagami for wreacking havoc and dress up very cutely for an arranged date with a Dogged Nice Guy...
 * Emina Kusunoki from Inumimi. Let's just say she does not take lightly the fact that Yuichiro Sleep Cutes with his dogs-turned-human.
 * Sekai Saionji from School Days starts as a Type B Tsundere....
 * Oddly, the main Shaymin of the 11th movie Pokémon: Giratina and The Sky Warrior was quite Tsundere, not to mention cocky and snobby too. For people who don't know...Shaymin are a species of Pokemon, not a human.
 * It wouldn't be the first time a Pokemon acted like a tsundere. That award goes to the shiny Celebi from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky, towards her loyal knight Grovyle. (Okay, technically Celebi are genderless, but trust me, this one was female.)
 * Also from the anime: Haruka/May. Seemed awfully sweet compared to the aforementioned Type A tsundere Kasumi/Misty being Satoshi/Ash's previous companion, but had more than enough tsuntsun to go around when certain other people annoy her. And stay clear of her food. Even Type Bs can become killbots when their buttons are pressed.
 * In a Boys Love example, Randy "Ryo" McLean from FAKE can be seen as Tsundere towards his partner and love interest Dee Laytner. Doesn't help that Dee is not only an ex-Casanova, but quite the Handsome Lech who is often chased around by Clingy Jealous Guy JJ.
 * Carol fits a bit more as the typical Tsundere towards her best friend and later boyfriend, Ryo's adoptive son Bikky.
 * Ai Amano from Video Girl Ai. Note that she was not supposed to be a Tsundere, but a Yamato Nadeshiko - until Youta played her video in a broken VCR. Len Momono from Video Girl Len fits a bit more, though.
 * Winry Rockbell in Fullmetal Alchemist, especially towards Ed.
 * Come to think about it, Ed also qualifies, although there is a different gender issue involved (as a result of the juxtaposition of his bad temper and incredible trials, he has a bit of a macho complex...).
 * And there's also Lan Fan. Tsun to those who insult her Bodyguard Crush, dere to said crush Ling Yao. She's also pretty insecure without her mask.
 * And in a completely non-romantic way, there's
 * In Romeo X Juliet, whereas Curio's Type A male Tsundere tendences are a bit arguable depending on how you see his relationship with Francisco, Team Mom Cordelia is definitely a Type B Tsundere towards.
 * Both Misao Makimachi and Kaoru Kamiya in Rurouni Kenshin, despite the latter having the looks and garb of a Yamato Nadeshiko.
 * In Kaoru's defense, she has to deal with Yahiko Myoujin and Sanosuke Sagara on a daily basis, and neither of them ever have anything nice to say. Kenshin is genuinely nice to her and is therefore much less of a pain in the ass for her to deal with, but he DOES has a bad habit of saying the wrong things at the wrong times, which brings out Kaoru's tsuntsun side like nothing else.
 * Kaoru even gets an image song titled "It's Not That I Like You or Anything".
 * In the Axis Powers Hetalia Highschool AU mini-game, Gakuen Hetalia, the main character Seychelles is a Type B. She's mostly sweet and demure, but as soon as England or France get pushy on her, she goes very tsuntsun.
 * Taiwan also has some shades of this. She's more often than not a Genki Girl, but snaps rather fast when China annoys her.
 * There have also been fan interpretations of several characters as Type B tsunderes; see the Fanfiction section below for more info.
 * Mishima Akane from Kämpfer is Type B Tsundere in her default/original form. She transforms to an Ax Crazy gun nut Type A.
 * Sawachika Eri from School Rumble. She only shows her Tsun-Tsun side to her friends, and Harima.
 * Arguably Akira towards Hanai as well. Not much comes of it though.
 * Akira Kogami from Lucky Star. Her dere side is just a facade she puts up on Lucky Channel. Her tsun side is TERRIFYING; it's no wonder that
 * Since Domon Kasshu evolves into a Type A Tsundere as G Gundam advances, his partner Rain Mikamura can't be less than he is. She's the sweetest and most motherly girl around, but Domon is among the few who can push her buttons.
 * Katsumi of Project ARMS.
 * Miyuki from The Kindaichi Case Files, mostly towards Kindaichi because he is a lazy jerk at times.
 * Mimi from Choco Mimi is firmly dere. The only character that triggers her tsun side is Mumu.
 * Celty Sturlusen from Durarara!! is a relatively minor example that is perfectly willing to admit her attraction to Shinra Kishitani. However, sometimes she can't help but find his more annoying habits (like making ill-timed comments about their sex-life) extremely irritating and lets him know this. Physically. Fortunately, Shinra's something of a kinky little bugger, so he's all for it.
 * Naru Osaka from Sailor Moon becomes a Type B Tsundere.
 * Usagi herself started as a mild version of a Type B. She was a Cute Clumsy Girl crybaby, but when Mamoru showed up and teased/critted her, she went all tsuntsun on him. On the other hand, she mellowed out almost immediately after they got together.
 * Asuka Sugo from Future GPX Cyber Formula is generally a sweet and caring girl, but her tsun side comes out when somebody/something pushes her buttons. In EP 32, for example, she threw stuff at her friend and teammate Hayato when he accidentally saw her wearing a towel. It has since mellowed out after the end of the TV series.
 * Iruka Umino of Naruto. Dear Christ, Iruka Umino. Since he doesn't have a confirmed canon love interest, his Type B-osity usually manifests itself by him being all sweet, kind, and honorable then suddenly flipping the hell out.
 * Tenten from Naruto. She is usually a very friendly character, but occasionally loses her temper. Once she put a two-ton iron doll on Rock Lee because he was doing push-ups when she was trying to talk to him.
 * Sheryl Nome in Macross Frontier demonstrates this in moderation, though her particularly Dere moments means she's about to hit you with The Tease. Has a crush on a certain someone in the Type A list, and some Les Yay Sempai-Kohai vibes with her Moe love rival Ranka.
 * Two oldschool examples are Honey from Honey Honey no Suteki na Bouken and Candy from Candy Candy. Both are blonde, plucky, cheerful Heartwarming Orphans who go grumpy towards Gentleman Thief Phoenix and Troubled but Cute Terry, respectively.
 * Though Candy is pure deredere towards her other possible love interests, Anthony  and Albert
 * Mikael from Tenshi ni Narumon is a Type A with Raphael and Type B with anyone else . He usually acts like a nice, kind and polite gentleman  . And when around Raphael, he's a straight-out Type A Tsundere
 * Also, Natsumi is mostly a Type B.
 * Prince Valdrigr in Crimson Spell is friendly, noble, and kindhearted to everyone he meets, but Insufferable Genius Halvir and Vald's own mixed feelings about him bring out the tsun.
 * Fairy Tail has several type A tsunderes, but they also give us a type B with Levy McGarden. She's sweet to everyone, but often gets angry at Gajeel Redfox, resident Jerk with a Heart of Gold. We can all see where this Ship Tease is going...
 * Kosumo from Towa Kamo Shirenai is a textbook Type B. She's kind and gentle, but if you do something she dislikes, she won't hesitate to call you out.
 * If Black*Star does end up with Tsubaki, it would stand to reason that his relationship with her is like this - he's very nice to her, but a bit of an ass to everyone else in the beginning.
 * Arguably, Maka Albarn. She's generally sweet and nice... Until Soul does something stupid. Or you mention her lack of chestage.
 * Asu no Yoichi: Female Protagonist Ibuki is kind, treats others well, and admired by most characters. Except when Yoichi does something perverted, or ends up in a compromising situation with another woman.
 * In the Tiger and Bunny drama CDs we see that Kotetsu's wife was Tsundere towards him, at least when they were still in high school. When she started calling him by his first name, for example.

Kotetsu: But Kotetsu's my real name...

Tomoe: I-It's not like it matters or anything!"

Unsorted (May have mixed traits)
"Kanako: She's 100% tsun!"
 * Lucy from Elfen Lied. She'll go from affectionately snuggling against you to ripping apart a passing schoolgirl in a heartbeat. Justified as she has a split personality.
 * it seems the split personality is a diclonious thing. Mariko and Nana display tsundere characteristics to, just not as often or dramatically
 * As implied by the title, the Tsuyokiss - Cool x Sweet anime and game take this to the natural extreme, giving the whole cast this personality type.
 * It's almost difficult to determine which category the title character from Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water falls into, because of the conflicting depictions of her personality. In the canonical episodes (1-22, 31) she is an anti-social loner who distrusts humans, meat, and has a very bad temper. But she's mainly a Not Good with People sort of character—she doesn't know how to act around other people. Even so, she finds herself growing to care for Jean, the boy who demonstratively shows how much he cares for her. Even though there are moments when she loses her temper at him (undeservedly), she often seems to feel guilty and tries to do something reconciliatory (he always forgives her). In fact, when Nadia isn't brooding over her relationship with Jean, she goes out of her way to do something nice for him, although she doesn't feel comfortable about admitting how she feels about him. She is completely transformed by the end of the series into a genuinely caring and trusting young woman.
 * On the flip side, she is ungrateful to Nemo and even openly insults him and his crew for "killing injured people" (who in fact, are her enemies, the Neo-Atlanteans). (We find out that she became like this because of poor parenting and a tragic childhood.)
 * On the other hand, in the island/Africa episodes, Nadia is portrayed as a completely unlikeable Jerkass, losing all of her sympathetic traits and being almost chronically nasty to Jean (especially episodes 24-27 and 29). She even betrays him in the Africa arc (episodes 32-33) after admitting he's more important to her than the Blue Water. Except that none of this actually happened. These episodes were never supposed to be part of the show in the first place. The final five episodes quickly disregard them.
 * Rika in Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora.
 * Suiseiseki in Rozen Maiden appears to be like this in her introduction, but after that mostly only plays at it to be mischievous. Shinku and later Suigintou both approach the original definition of Tsundere.
 * Not Really, Suiseiseki IS a tsundere, which is explained by her flips between a caring and helpful personality and her colder side. Often ignored when she actually helps out, that is what flips her at most times. Of course, with the fact that she does tend to be mischievous at times, it is somewhat understandable how they treat her like that, even though she meant well.
 * This was originally Ranpha Franboise's personality in Galaxy Angel. This was modified into a general overbearing romantic and golddigging streak in the television series, probably because tsundere need a boy to emote at.
 * Asuna Kagurazaka in Mahou Sensei Negima, although this trait has diminished in recent examples. After the first half of the series concluded, this role is taken up by Anya. In addition, Akamatsu himself describes Chisame as a borderline tsundere.
 * And back in the tales of Ala Rubra, we have Princess Arika.
 * Natsumi may be starting to head in this direction regarding Kotaro. Just a little.
 * Anya is a Clingy Jealous Girl who's a Type A towards Negi.
 * Evangeline occasionally lapses into this, most notably when dealing with Nagi and Albireo.
 * Also with Negi with added lick my foot.
 * The Mama Bear from the Magical World might be another example.
 * Emily Sevensheep is this way for Yue Ayase.
 * After his Face Heel Turn, sometimes shows signs of this towards Negi.
 * Mika Seido in Geneshaft, who throughout the series yells at pretty much everyone at one time or another, especially
 * Sakurako from the manga Ai Kora. Kirino has some elements of this as well.
 * In Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, the "returnee" student Kaere Kimura falls into this category, while conflating it with bipolar. She has reconciled her Japanese heritage with her time spent in an ambiguous foreign country by splitting her personality into a stereotype for each—the perfect Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko and the loud foreigner who threatens to sue over every problem. The "dere" side is in love with the teacher, while the "tsun" side threatens him most often.
 * Mayo Mitama is described as a Tsundere by another character, but parodies the type by having a barely evident "dere" side, and a "tsun" side so outright psychopathic that no amount of "dere" could counterbalance it.
 * In episode 5 of the second season, the apologetic Ai Kaga briefly "becomes a tsundere character" for all the wrong reasons... Which prompts Itoshiki to wonder if a tsundere without the dere side is possible nowadays. Manga Fan Girl Harumi Fujiyoshi is quick to reply that it is, since the dere side can be "filled in by imagination". So true, indeed.
 * Sheryl Nome in Macross Frontier. She starts out as a self-important pop-star/idol but warms up to Saotome Alto, but still not too warm. Alto is the tsundere! He blows hot and cold to both love interests (Sheryl and Ranka).
 * Technically, Sheryl is a mild Type-B, Alto however is a full blown Type-A. Lampshaded in this fan comic that depicts him getting a traditional, Tsundere twin tailed hayrstyle, from Sheryl no less.
 * Ayano in  Kaze no Stigma.
 * And later Catherine (who has the same seiyu as Takako from Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru, above)
 * Meg in Burst Angel. A Faux Action Girl, too.
 * Princess Cagalli Yura Attha in Gundam SEED has definite Tsundere moments, mostly when around the male leads, although she seems to have grown out of it (in a way) by Gundam SEED Destiny.
 * Ryoko Subaru from Martian Successor Nadesico, whose similarities to a more mature and professional Asuka Langley Soryuu are not entirely coincidental (it becomes a full-blown Actor Allusion in the dub). Arguably, Akito acts this way toward Yurika, as a rare male example.
 * In one episode of the second series of Genshiken, the guys are taking a break together while at a major anime/manga convention and, in the course of discussing erotic games, start figuring out the plot path to Tsundere and fellow club member Chika Ogiue as if she was a character in such a game, even calling her a "Tsundere" explicitly. Said Tsundere is actually listening in all this time, and getting more and more frustrated with her conflicting desires to both confront them and to avoid being noticed, because she swore up and down that she had no intention of going to the con.
 * Altezza from Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime.
 * Hanazono Karin from Kamichama Karin.
 * Meryl in Trigun.
 * Risa Koizumi from Lovely Complex exhibits this behavior, but that is mostly due to the indecisive and hard-to-read behavior of her love interest.
 * Nanami and Miz Mishtal in El-Hazard: The Magnificent World.
 * Urumi Kanzaki in the GTO manga had a number of these moments... though a bit of a Yandere streak as well.
 * Anko Uehara takes it to the extreme; Her treatment of Noboru Yoshikawa drove him to attempt suicide, twice.
 * Mayu from Princess Kaguya.
 * Miyabi Johou (the local Stalker with a Crush with creepy glasses) in High School Debut.
 * Otae and, to a certain extent, Kagura from Gintama are both examples of this. (Poor Gintoki and Shinpachi.)
 * Gintoki is also capable of deploying it strategically, such as when he outsmarted other guys in the toilet episode in Kyuubei arc, or when he wooed Kyuubei in a group date.
 * In a rare male example, Ritsuka from Loveless is something of a Tsundere, though he certainly leans more toward the tsuntsun than the deredere. There's also female examples in Nagisa, who is conspicuously tsundere for Ritsu-sensei, and maybe Kouya as well.
 * Both Ami Kurimoto and Karin Aoi from DNA².
 * Rosette from Chrono Crusade is a super-genki Tsundere-cum-Action Girl. Feeeeel the pain!
 * Satella also qualifies. Feeeel the clash!
 * Riku from D.N.Angel. Through the magic of Sibling Yin-Yang, her twin sister Risa is deredere-er than her.
 * It's also implied that the main lead's mother, Emiko, was somewhat like this when she was younger: whenever a boy tried to confess his love for her, she would respond that she would go out with him on one condition: "When we're married, we have to have a boy!" When the boys got understandably flustered, she'd angrily insist on the condition.
 * Lizette/Lisette, the Red Riding Hood in Ludwig Kakumei, combines this with Yandere-ish traits, but gets better at the end of the manga.
 * Hanon of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch takes the standoffish approach toward Dogged Nice Guy Nagisa.
 * Karin and Soyogi from Umi no Misaki... though, if you'd been brought up to sleep with some dude you don't know, you might develop a cranky side too.
 * Kyohei from The Wallflower is a male example of a Tsundere. Despite being a very creepy Yandere and Dark Action Girl, Sunako also shows traits of the trope.
 * Runo from Bakugan is constantly fighting with Dan, to the point that their lovers' quarrels often get in the way of the Battle Brawlers' battles. Of course, neither one of them wants to admit that that's what these fights are.
 * Hime Utsumiya from Brain Powerd is a huge Tsundere to male lead Yuu. The two of them flip-flop quite often around each other, and at first never seem to really get along, leading to Yuu's frustration over not understanding why she takes offense at things like . Later on, however, the two built mutual respect that eventually solidifies in love.
 * Higgins Saz from the same series can be considered a Tsundere as well. She usually seems aloof and antisocial, and will pointedly ignore people who haven't earned her respect, while seeming still quite distant to others who did. However, she cares about people a lot, and drops her cold facade when around her beloved or her best friends, especially Kanan.
 * The Hentai manga Boys' Empire gives us Hitomi Mizuhara. Her initial interaction with an ill Makoto is pure tsuntsun, even when she sleeps with him (her most common reaction to his "excitement" amounts to "God, you're hopeless"). After a Say My Name moment in the fourth volume (which according to her ), her deredere side begins to come to the fore, although she never loses her barbs.
 * Guchuko from Potemayo is completely this for Kyou. Her method of showing appreciation is to leave freshly slaughtered livestock on her desk or front porch.
 * Hayate from Prétear. He's a total Tsun to Himeno throughout the early part of the series at least in the anime due to Of course he mellows towards the end of the series.
 * Tsukiumi from Sekirei. At the start, she refuses to accept Minato as her Ashikabi, or master, going so far as to try to kill him once they meet. After Minato protects her and calls her his Sekirei, Tsukiumi immediately switches over to deredere, accepting Minato and deciding that she is now his wife. Of course, when she finds out that Minato has three other Sekirei, who she sees as rivals in love, she flips back to tsuntsun. She's usually more tsun then dere as both the manga and anime go on, usually only going dere when she's alone with Minato.
 * In addition to the aforementioned Nagi, Hayate the Combat Butler has Hinagiku and Sakuya, both of whom show classic Tsundere traits—like Nagi, more "tsun" than "dere".
 * Athena as well.
 * Hinagiku actually frightens her friends when she decides to try out her "dere" side more prominently.
 * Their "dere" sides tend to do more to frighten Hayate than anything else.
 * Ayase from Midori Days fits Type A with the main character, Seiji. On that note, Seiji fits type A with Midori herself as well.
 * Axis Powers Hetalia has quite a few examples. England and South Italy are very obviously Type A's, and Word of God is that Germany is, too. Switzerland also shows definite signs of (past and vigourously denied) Type A toward Austria, and fans have speculated that America is being subtly tsundere toward England. Then there's the aforementioned Type B Seychelles. As it's a manga about countries, and coutries go to war, there are few other Type B's.
 * Starting at about midway through the first season of Princess Tutu, starts acting like a male version towards Ahiru, complete with calling her "baka", blushing furiously when he catches her without her clothing or briefly mistakes her actions as being romantic towards him, and actually being a big softie beneath all that grump.
 * In Keroro Gunsou, Giriro is most definitely tsundere for Natsumi, trying to always be aloof around her despite his huge crush. Natsumi herself has an odd, platonic sort of tsundere relationship with, of all people, Keroro. She complains constantly about the chaos caused by "the stupid frog" and his platoon, and bullies and abuses him at the slightest provocation. When Keroro gets in real trouble, however, Natsumi shows she really does think of him as family.
 * Mana from Mermaid Saga, although her type is a bit difficult to place. She swings between being mostly headstrong and stubborn and mostly childish and naive, with moments of the opposite sprinkled in. Probably has something to do with the fact that she was raised like a princess by a group of mermaids who secretly planned to eat her.
 * Sayoko from Oh My Goddess!. In the manga, she initially she tried chiseling in Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship as one of many ways to spite Belldandy (who became the new "queen of Nekomi Tech", as Sayoko put it). She would later warm up to Keiichi, and stopped interfering in his relationship with Belldandy, but kept trying (and failing) to upstage her. Her dere-dere is less obvious, but still present, in the TV series, and she had all of one Jerkass moment in the OVA (the rest of the time, she was a pretty nice person), and supposedly, in the novel Ah! My Goddess: Last End, she gave Keiichi dating advice for Belldandy, which is why she falls into the "Other" folder—she varies between Type A and Type B depending on the incarnation.
 * Skuld, Belldandy's younger sister, is a non-romantic, but probably straighter, version. She's a little too attached to her older sister, and will usually play dirty to keep her close (especially where Keiichi is concerned), but has her sweet moments, even when not with Bell or her love interest, Sentaro. Like Sayoko, she varies, from a Yandere to just a Bratty Half-Pint, depending on the incarnation, which is why she's more apt for the "Other" folder.
 * We would like it to be known that Matsurika has no dere.


 * Chiba from Wandering Son has swayed between the two. She was originally a Type B, a sweet but blunt elementary student who had somewhat of a temper. After a few volumes, she evolved into a Type A. Currently she's somewhere in the middle.
 * Nichijou teacher Kana Nakamura has rather tsundere-ish reactions when she's called cute in one episode.
 * In Mawaru Penguindrum, Ringo Oginome eems to be this for Shouma Takakura. Specially seen when, in the same scene, she expresses relief that, and then beats him herself when he calls her "fool" for  , specifically telling him how worried she was for his safety. Her type isn't 100% clear, so we're leaving her among the unsorted examples by now.
 * Barnaby from Tiger and Bunny is usually very aloof and leans more towards type-2 Kuudere than tsundere; his tsun tendencies are fairly few, but when he is in that mode his Heterosexual Life Partner Kotetsu has managed to get a smile out of him once or twice (which he, of course, hides).
 * Kotetsu (yes, the same guy who was mentioned both in the previous example and the dere folder above) has something of a knack for drawing out the tsundere in those who're fond of him; proven by the fact that Karina (who has a huge crush on him) has also displayed such tendencies solely where he's concerned. Because she's equal parts tsun and dere, she can't really be classified.
 * A very ironic case: In Heroic Age, the Silver Tribe are Straw Vulcans, that handle their emotions to selected individuals.
 * Kanade in Mayo Chiki pulls a tsundere act towards the computer club, possibly as a preemptive reward for her somewhat unreasonable request. It's effective.
 * An interesting Tsundere mix occurs in Sukisho, where Sunao is type A, but Split Personality Ran is type B.

You did read the whole page through, right? I'm just trying to keep you from acting stupider than usual...


 * Back to
