***"Yoidere"*** (*JP*Japanese: 酔いデレ

Romaji: Yoidere

Translation: Drunken Love) is a term for a character who is normally calm and collected, but becomes very playful, cute, and affectionate towards their love interest when they are drunk.

## Meaning of the Word

*Yoidere* (酔いデレ) is a combination of "yoi" (酔い), meaning "drunkeness", and "deredere" (デレデレ), meaning "lovey-dovey".

### Origin

The term originates from the 2015 romantic comedy manga series *Love Is Like a Cocktail* (*JP*Japanese: お酒は夫婦になってから

Romaji: Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara) to describe the character Chisato Mizusawa. Chisato was a girl who appears to be calm and collected, but when she starts drinking turns into a playful and cute girl. The term "Yoidere" served as a nickname for the series, which was described as "the drunken comedy cocktail about Japan's most lovey-dovey couple."

### Alternate Name

*Yoidere* is also sometimes unofficially known as "yottadere" in the Western community.

## History

Although not as common as other dere types, it was later used in a popular doujinshi manga based on *Azur Lane* in 2019 called *Yoidere Laffy* (*JP*Japanese: 酔いデレラフィー

Romaji: Yoidere Lafii) which featured the character Laffy, who was notorious for becoming playful when drunk.

It was also used in the 2021 romance manga series *Yoidere BL* (*JP*Japanese: 酔いデレBL

Romaji: Yoidere BL).

## Personality

*Yoidere* are characters who are normally calm and collected, but become very playful and affectionate towards their love interest when they are drunk.

*Yoidere* don't necessarily drink all the time, but when they do decide to get drunk they become very flirtatious. The alcohol makes them put their normally strict barriers down and all of their pent-up lovey-dovey feelings come out.

Characters who don't become flirtatious while drunk, but instead get aggressive, grumpy, or depressed after drinking do not fall under this archetype.
