{{quote|''"Somebody's sucked all of the life out of these kids, and unless TV has lied to me, it was a crusty, bitter old Dean!"''
|'''Homer Simpson''', ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''}}
A [[Sadist Teacher]] in charge of an entire educational institution. This guy hates the protagonist and his friends with a passion. He has the entire institution with its long history and dignified reputation on his side. Its arbitrary and ancient rules exist chiefly for him to abuse in his vendetta.

== Anime
* Similar to ''[[A Little Princess]]'', Japanese drama ''[[Shokojo Sera]]'' has Mimura Chieko, the director of the school, who makes every living moment in Seira's life miserable. The "Bitterman" of the trope really stands out because Chieko was once classmates/friends with Seira's deceased mother and felt inferior compared to Seira's mother who was adored and kind to everyone. So she decides to take out her anger on Seira instead.
== Fan Works ==
