Make sure to read the character guidelines before adding any new characters. All characters listed who have been in love with, have a crush on, or are in a relationship with someone and are Bakadere for them will be marked with a heart (♥) next to their name. You can also see who this love interest is by dragging the cursor over the heart. Characters who are not romantic versions of this type, but are cute and affectionate towards friends/family must be marked with (platonic) or (familial) instead. |

"Bakadere" (JP), also known as "Ahodere" (JP), is a term for a character who usually acts in a foolish and silly manner, but is also cute, lovey-dovey, and deredere towards their love interest. They are very innocent and sweet, but have a tendency to be carefree and rush into things without properly thinking them through which can lead to embarrassing or clumsy situations. They also have a tendency to be airheaded and can forget important things. They have a very goofy personality and tend to bring a smile to their love interest's face. They have a child-like sense of wonder and often have hobbies that most people consider weird or silly so it can take some time getting used to their quirks, but they are genuine and affectionate at heart. They will often do weird things to try to win the affection of their love interest or try to share their unusual hobbies with them. However, while they usually act carefree they can also be surprisingly romantic when they want to be and may surprise their love interest with a quick kiss or other acts of affection.
This is not to be confused with:
- Dojikko - A character who is very clumsy.
