***"Uzadere"*** (*JP*Japanese: ウザデレ

Romaji: Uzadere) is a term for characters who are very loud and like annoying their love interest. They are often very passionate about a topic and get overwhelming joy from sharing it with their love interest.

## **Meaning of the Name**

*Uzadere* (ウザデレ) comes from the words "uzai" (うざい), meaning "annoying", and "deredere" (デレデレ), meaning "lovey-dovey."

### Origin

The term was created on the internet to describe characters who were loud and annoying. Use of this term unofficially can be seen on Japanese websites as far back as 2009.

The first use of the term in an official media was in the 2016 manga series *Secret Reptiles* (*JP*Japanese: 秘密のレプタイルズ

Romaji: Himitsu no Reputairuzu), which described the character Naga Nagara as "a beautiful uzadere clerk". In the story, Naga is a clerk who runs a pet shop and has a deep passion for reptiles. At first Naga comes across as rather laidback, or even intimidating to approach, but when Iruka Unabara expresses interest in reptiles she suddenly became very cheerful and loud. After that moment every chance she got she wanted to talk with him about reptiles and their shared interest lead her to develop a crush on him.

## **History**

This archetype gained a lot of popularity following the release of the 2017 manga series *Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!* (*JP*Japanese: 宇崎ちゃんは遊びたい！

Romaji: Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

Translation: Uzaki-chan Wants to Play!). In this series, the titular character Hana Uzaki forces her introverted classmate Shinichi Sakurai to hang out with her by constantly, and very loudly, teasing him because she doesn't want him to be lonely, which he finds extremely annoying. Despite their polar opposite personalities, the two would end up growing closer together.

## **Personality**

*Uzadere* are characters who are very loud and boisterous. They are often very passionate about a topic and get overwhelming joy from sharing it with their love interest.

Most *uzadere* do not have any social awareness about their actions and will be as noisy as possible when they are talking. They may not even realize they are being annoying while doing it. Their love interest is usually annoyed by their antics as well but finds a certain charm in it and may even eventually grow to appreciate it.

Other *uzadere* characters, however, consciously choose to be annoying to embarrass their love interest and may even combine traits of a typically *uzadere* with a *smugdere* or *teasedere*.

Some *uzadere* may be loud and annoying all the time, but most only do it when discussing something they are passionate about with their love interest.

## Differences From Other Archetypes

The difference between an *uzadere* and a *deredere* is that a *deredere* is cheerful, but not necessarily annoying. Even if *deredere* characters are loud, they know to quiet down during somber situations. A lot of *uzadere* have traits of genki, who are cheerful but also very hyper.

The difference between an *uzadere* and a *bakadere* is that *uzadere* are don't necessarily lack common sense, they are just socially dense.

*Uzadere* who are annoying on purpose could be considered a variation of *smugdere* since they are being annoying in order to get a reaction out of others.
