**Kuudere-chan is the protagonist of *Kuudere Simulator*, *Kuudere Simulator 2*, *Kuudere Simulator 3*, and a female student that currently attends Akademi High School. Her real name is Kuu Dere. She is the fourth student to be introduced as an Easter Egg.**

She appears in the *Kuudere Simulator* spin-off games and in the "I Want My Senpai Back" video. Her name was stated as Kuudere-chan in the description.

In the *Kuudere Simulator* games, she sits on a wooden chair in the middle of an empty room and does not move. The player can scroll the mouse around to get a better view of her.

As of the November 15th, 2015 Build, Kuudere-chan was added into *Yandere Simulator* as a student with the name **Kuu Dere.**

## Appearance

Kuu has short, azure blue hair and red eyes. She wears the default female school uniform in both *Yandere Simulator* and *Kuudere Simulator*. She wears knee high white socks and has the same skin tone as Ayano. Her bust size is 1.

As of the March 31st, 2018 Build, the edges of her hair are much more defined with dark blue.

As of the April 26th, 2018 Build, Kuu's hair is no longer outlined by darker lines, and is colored dark aqua.

In *Yandere Simulator*, her uniform can be customized by the player. Her hair has also changed style and is derived from Honoka Futaba, a character that can be bought in the Unity3D Asset Store.

In *Kuudere Simulator*, her hair is more oval-shaped and is longer.

As of the August 3rd build, she has Osana's eyes colored in a lighter shade of red

## Personality

 File:Kuureact.png
She is a kuudere. A kuudere is a common personality trope in anime that displays cold-hearted and inexpressive behavior, as they have difficulty recognizing their feelings (*Kuu*). They only occasionally show their hidden caring and nice side (*Dere*).

She very rarely expresses emotions and prefers solitude, according to her Student Profile.

Among the personas currently implemented in the game, Kuu is a loner. If she sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, she will run home and call the police. She cannot participate in physical fights against murderers. Due to her having the Loner persona, if the player aims their phone at her, she will hide her face.

It's possible that, in the future, she will have a unique reaction to murder. This, however, is programming a special case that applies to only to her and Robot-chan, and will be difficult from the programming side. This persona may be called "Apathetic".

* Pressing **E** while playing *Kuudere Simulator* will give her an eyepatch. Pressing **T** will turn her into Tsundere-chan. Pressing **H** in *Kuudere Simulator 2* will turn her into Himedere-chan.
* All of her dialogue in *Kuudere Simulator*, *Kuudere Simulator 2*, and *Kuudere Simulator 3* appears as blue text.

* In her cameo in "I Want My Senpai Back", she has brown eyes instead of red.
* Kuudere-chan's appearance is a reference to Rei Ayanami from the popular anime *Neon Genesis Evangelion*.
* Kuu makes a small cameo in the gaming club by appearing on the dating simulator game screen.
* The reason why she was moved to another spot on the rooftop is because during lunchtime, the Basu sisters both eat their lunch.
* As of the July 18th, 2017 Build, Kuu is the school librarian.
* If YandereDev decides to have student nicknames, then her real name would not be Kuu Dere and this would instead be a nickname given to her, due to her emotionless and apathetic nature. He suggested "Kumiko Deremoto" as a hypothetical name for her.
* She has a similar personality to Ayano Aishi, Homu Kurusu, and Geiju Tsuka.
