"Sunao Cool" (JP) is a term for a character who expresses their deredere honestly and straightforwardly from the very beginning, but is always cool in their behavior because of their calm and expressionless personality. At first glance you can't tell how they feel because they don't show much emotion, but their expression of love is very straightforward and they always expresses their feelings of love towards their love interest in a cool and dignified manner. They don't care about what other people think and are never embarrassed about being affectionate in public, with even embarrassing romantic things being said with a straight face. They are someone who loves their lover wholeheartedly and are always honest with their feelings towards them, and are always cool in their behavior. Cool and deredere live together without contradiction and there are no two sides to it.
Etymology
Meaning of the Term
Sunao cool (素直クール) comes from the words "sunao" (素直), meaning "honest" or "straightforward (upfront about one's feelings)", and "kuuru" (クール), meaning "cool (calm and unemotional)". The word "sunao" (素直) itself comes from the word "su" (素), meaning "real feelings" and "nao" (直), meaning "direct or bluntly (being straight to the point)".[4][5][6][7]
- Sunao = Honestly expressing feelings of dere
- Kuuru = Cool and expressionless behavior
Origin
The archetype originated on October 10, 2005 on the Japanese forum board 2channel in the thread titled "Sunao de COOL na Musume" (JP) as a term created as the opposite of tsundere. The first post in the thread referred to the term as "She expresses her dere in a straightforward and cool manner, and is somewhat of a natural".[3] It was said that if tsundere is an abbreviation of "tsuntsunderedere" (ツンツンデレデレ), then the opposite of "tsuntsun" (ツンツン) is "honest" (素直), and the opposite of "deredere" (デレデレ) is "cool" (クール), and thus the archetype of "honest cool" (素直クール) was created. Or in other words, it's a girl who is honest and cool. Rather than someone who let their emotions get the better of them and was dishonest with their feelings like a tsundere, a sunao cool was always cool and always honest with their feelings.[4][5][8]
Alternate Name
The archetype is sometimes abbreviated as "su-cool" (素クール).[5][4]
History
Early Influences
Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion
The first sunao cool character in media is considered to be Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Although the term was not created specifically with her in mind, she was the first character brought up as an example of a sunao cool girl in the origin thread on the same day the term was created.[3][9]
Official Media
The archetype of sunao cool has been used in several romance manga and visual novels.
The first and most notable instance is the 2009 erotic harem romance visual novel titled simply Sunao Cool (JP). The story follows Tomoya Kizuka who reunites with his childhood friend the intelligent Midori Takaoka, and is joined by his senpai the maternal Azami Azusagawa, and his kohai the lewd Mizuki Kamihara. All three girls are honest and cool. They are unphased by anything he says and expresses their affection and love straightforwardly and love him single-mindedly[2]
The 2009 erotic visual novel Kossetsu Shita Sunao Cool na Kanojo no Sewa o Suru Hanashi (JP) follows a girl named Mutsumi Osanai who gets into a severe accident breaking her arms and legs resulting in the protagonist taking care of her. Because of her straightforward and cool demeanor she asks a lot of embarrassing requests to the protagonist, which he fulfils for her.[10]
In the 2009 erotic harem romance visual novel Sunao Cool Princess Sayaka to Nangoku Oukyuu Kozukuri (JP) the protagonist Satou Yuuichi reunites with Sayaka Calestia and gets married to her. Sayaka is a half-Japanese girl whose mother passed away when she was very young so after meeting a Japanese boy named Satou Yuuichi as a child she develops a closeness towards him and he became the only man she can open up to. Although she pretends to be cool and puts up a wall, deep down she is lonely and amae. While initially she adored Yuuichi like an older brother her feelings for him soon grew romantically and she promised to marry him. However, when he tried to comfort her by saying "We'll see each other soon", she believed him but in the end his words did not come true, so she became clumsy in her interactions with people and began calling herself "boku" in an attempt to dilute her sense of being a girl. She longs for the Yuuichi and her mother so seeks out knowledge of Japan. Many years later when when Yuuichi was in college he finds himself being taken to a luxurious royal palace where he meets three beautiful women. As it turns out, the three sisters he had melt as a child and promised to marry where actually three princesses from a southern country. When asked to choose which of the three sisters he wants to marry he chooses Sayaka, who is cool but loves him single-mindedly.[1]
Characteristics
Moe Factor
Origami Tobiichi's inner thoughts from Date a Live
To put it simply, the difference between the two types is that kuudere is an attribute that is excited by the gap in "state" (i.e, the way they behave), while sunao cool is an attribute that is excited by the gap in "perception". At first glance, you can't tell how they feel, but they express their love openly and honestly. While you're at the mercy of that, you're also touched by their single-minded feelings. Therein lies the supreme moe of sunao cool.[6]
Personality
General Behavior
Kokuyo's usual expression from Tsugumomo
A sunao cool character is always calm and composed and does not show much emotion. On the other hand, the expression of love is very straightforward and even embarrassing romantic things are said with a straight face. They will call their love interest cute or say lovey-dovey things while not understanding why their love interest is suddenly embarrassed.[4]
A sunao cool character behaves the opposite of a tsundere character as a principle, which means that generally speaking:[5][2][7]
- They are always calm and collected and are generally not emotional. They do not lose their cool because they're embarrassed by their loving feelings.
- They think and act on their own without relying too much on others.
- Their expressions of love and affection are always straightforward and they will never act dishonest and hide their feelings. They will even say embarrassing romantic things with a straight face.
- They love their lover single-mindedly and wholeheartedly.
- Emotional expression is rare, but it can happen.
Development

Sunao cool means "always honest and always cool", so they do not change their attitude depending on the timeline or a specific person. However, because they are always honest and speak straightforwardly, they are extremely destructive to the person they have a crush on.[6][7]
A sunao cool character does not "become deredere" in the dictionary sense, but rather expresses their affection for their lover directly while maintaining their normal "cool" state.[11] They are a character without two sides, so their development is one of perception. At first they seem like a cold and unapproachable character, but the reality is they they are surprisingly sweet and affectionate on the inside. They are someone who loves their lover wholeheartedly and are filled with "dere" from the start while maintaining a cool personality.[2][7]
While they may blush slightly when showing affection or give their love interest a loving smile every once in a while, they will continue keeping a cool, mostly expressionless face that is unphased by embarrassing things until the end and never develop a cutesy and very emotional normal deredere personality. In other words, they are a cool character who honestly expresses love and affection. They are a character who shows their amae side in a cool manner.[7][8]
Derivatives
Kuudere
- Main article: Kuudere
Over time the archetype of sunao cool grew and led to the creation of the term "kuudere" (クーデレ) as a derivative, for characters who start out acting cool but eventually become deredere for a certain person. Initially, it seems that this term was suggested as a shorter synonym for "sunao cool" and referred to a character who "dere'd in a cool manner".[12] However, use of these terms as synonyms was short-lived as the majority of users in the forum thought that "kuudere" should instead refer to "cool tsundere", where the "tsun" part was replaced with "cool" and the character became "dere" over time. By around mid-2006 the idea of "kuudere" referring to "cool tsundere" had been widely established and nowadays the term is used exclusively for this meaning with "kuudere" and "sunao cool" being considered distinctive archetypes with opposite meanings. While a kuudere character hides their feelings with "cool" and becomes "dere" over time, a sunao cool character is filled with "dere" from the very beginning but shows it in a "cool" manner. The difference between the two archetypes is that a sunao cool character does not change their attitude because of another person and is always cool with no gap in personality, whereas a kuudere character loses their cool attitude over time and becomes cute and lovey-dovey (dere) when around a certain person. For a kuudere character the "cool" attitude is simply a way to hide their love, which is why it's sometimes described as "cool tsundere" when explaining the meaning, but over time they let go of their facade and become deredere.[13][14] They are different things except that they have in common that they are cool, and kuudere is incompatible with referring to sunao cool characters, and vice versa.[5]
Differences From Other Archetypes
Kuudere
Yui Villiers showing a clearly distinct "cool" side to hide her feelings in public (top) and a clearly distinct "dere" side when alone with Katagiri (bottom) from Tonari no Kuuderella o Amayakashitara, Uchi no Aikagi o Watasu Koto ni Natta
Although kuudere is a variation of sunao cool the two types are also quite different and are incompatible with referring to the same character. When a kuudere character falls in love their love interest will crack their cool exterior causing them to become cute and flustered, having a clearly distinct "cool" side and a clearly distinct "deredere" side. In comparison, a sunao cool character will continue to maintain their cool composure even after falling in love. This does not mean that a sunao cool character does not show emotion, but rather that they show emotion with the same cool demeanor as before. They will also say romantic or embarrassing things to their love interest without also becoming embarrassed themselves, in contrast to a kuudere character who will become incredibly flustered. A sunao cool character will never become embarrassed by their loving feelings, while a kuudere character might and may direct their sharp tongue towards their love interest to hide their embarrassment or act coldly to hide their crush.
A sunao cool character could be thought of as someone whose "cool" and "dere" sides occur simultaneously rather than having a distinct gap in personality. They also do not show nearly as much emotion or lack of control as a kuudere character does when being "dere". It could be said that they act "deredere" in a cool way, by keeping a straight expression while showing their amae side and being affectionate with their love interest.
Shizuka Mikazuki's "cool" facade breaking after being called cute from Zom 100
If they show their affection in a "cool" manner without embarrassment, they are sunao cool. If they show their affection in a normal deredere way (cute, emotional, lots of blushing) they are kuudere. A kuudere character has a very noticeable difference when switching between their two vastly different personalities, while a sunao cool character remains relatively the same when being "cool" or when being "dere". In the image of Shizuka Mikazuki from Zom 100, you can clearly see her shoulders and face loosen up from the tense "cool" facade she was using to hide her feelings and then suddenly burst into uncontrollable blushing after being called cute by her love interest. If Shizuka Mikazuki were sunao cool instead of kuudere she either wouldn't have gotten embarrassed, or would have at most gave her love interest a controlled calm smile.[9]
So "kuudere" could be understood by thinking "cool+tsundere character", where they are sharp-tongued and hide their feelings by giving their love interest the cold shoulder but transition to dere over time, while "sunao cool" could be understood by thinking "cool+deredere character", where they are sweet, openly honest with their feelings, and all lovey-dovey from the very beginning. Or in other words if sunao cool is "honest" cool then kuudere is "dishonest" cool.[14][9][15]
An easy to understand comparison can be seen by looking at the manga series Bleach. When comparing the Kuchiki siblings, the difference between sunao cool and kuudere can be easily seen. While at the start of the series both characters appear cold and expressionless, remain calm even in dangerous situations, speak in a monotone voice, don't waste time on meaningless activities, keep their emotions locked away, keep others at a distance, act independent and self-reliant, and scold others in blunt ways (kuu), when Rukia is around her friends/love interest her personality completely changes and she starts acting cute, blushing, showing lots of emotions, being affectionate, letting others get close to her emotionally, and depending on others when she needs help (dere). In comparison, even though Byakuya has already been married to a woman he truly loves and also cares deeply for his wife's younger sister Rukia, he still remains as stiff and stoic as ever. Even when honestly expressing his affection for his wife, he does it a calm way and at most will give her a calm smile to let her know he loves her. This does not mean that Byakuya never shows emotions, he just rarely does, and when he does he shows them in a calm and cool way meaning he will never start acting all cutesy and lovey-dovey. In other words, Byakuya is not kuudere and Rukia is.

Dandere
It also similarly has a lot in common with dandere characters who also have a cool and expressionless demeanor. Similar to sunao cool, dandere characters are not cold and sharp-tongued like a kuudere character, instead being gentle and polite. The only real difference is that sunao cool characters are not afraid to speak and they are incredibly straightforward with their love confessions. A dandere character may not be cold like a kuudere character, but they also won't confess their love at the start like a sunao cool character either. The main key factor is that a sunao cool character is never embarrassed by showing their love or confessing their feelings.

In other words, it is fully dere (honest) from the beginning, but its attitude is cool.”

Cool and Deredere live together without contradiction, and there are no two sides to it. Contrary to the fact that tsundere fascinates the duality of tsuntsun and deredere, sunao cool is something that makes you feel moe at the abnormality of the character who has no two sides of the same coin. Kuudere's representative characters are Saber from Fate and Yukihime Kuroyuki from Accel World. Sunao cool is Tomoyo from Clannad After Tomoyo. It is often misunderstood, but Rei Ayanami and Yuki Nagato are not kuudere. Rather, if you are "deredere" like Ayanami in the new movie version, you will be close to sunao cool.”

- ↑ What is Dere. Nico Nico Pedia (2008/05/22). “Dere refers to a deredere attitude in romantic relationships. This word is rarely used on its own, and a compound word in the form of ○○dere is made to refer to "at first (or usually), at least in appearance, a state of unfavorability or non-romanticism for some protagonist, but as time passes or some situation occurs, they become lovey-dovey". Usually, the initial ○○ state is over time, and the dere can be glimpsed for just a moment in the process of opening up, or in the usual ○○, which increases the value of the dere. That said, there are almost no people who are madly in love with someone from the start, and not many people who can honestly show their feelings of love in front of others. For that reason, there is another attribute called sunao ○○, which does not "become deredere" in the dictionary sense, but rather expresses its affection for the other person directly while maintaining a normal ○○ state.”

When the woman heard the man's answer, she didn't change her expression and started walking, pulling the man's arm. Kuudere: "Okay, I get it. Let's go." Man: "Hey, where are we going?" Kuudere: "That's obvious." The woman stopped, turned to face the man, looked him in the eye, and said without hesitation: Kuudere: "The hotel." Then the man was pulled by the woman and disappeared into the hotel district.”
- ↑ What is Kuudere. Hatena. “A subtype of "tsundere" that means "a cool personality, but shows a cute side (dere) when you get close to them." It is often thought of as an abbreviation of "Sunao Cool", but it is something completely different. It started in the "Sunao Cool Girl" thread on the "News Flash (VIP)" board of the "2channel" message board. Did it become more well-known because kuudere was introduced instead of sunao cool on the NHK radio program "Today is All About Anime Songs" broadcast on 2006-05-03?”
- ↑ 14.0 14.1 How did "Kuudere" Stop Being Sunao Cool and Become a Normal Dere?. Hatena (2021/12/26). “It is no exaggeration to say that the greatest invention in the otaku industry in the 2000s was "tsundere". This is because it did not simply give a name to a character attribute, but created a boom in various tsundere-derived moe attributes, so-called "new genres". "New genres" are those that create new moe attributes that did not exist before and turn them into short SS stories. Basically, there were many "○○dere", which was a play on "tsundere". And the original of this "new genre" was, without a doubt, "Sunao Cool". Sunao Cool was not derived from any existing character, but was a moe attribute created from the idea of "tsun → sunao" and "dere → cool" when trying to think of an antonym for "tsundere". In other words, if tsundere is "being embarrassed to express affection and unable to be honest", then being sunao cool is "expressing affection honestly and without embarrassment."
The VIP board's "Sunao Cool" thread was still going strong in 2005, but it eventually lost steam, and after the thread was dropped midway through around August 2006, no new threads were created. Also, around that time, the term "kuudere" was hardly used within the thread. The VIP board's "sunao cool" thread was moving too fast, so let's look at the "kuudere" thread on the Ga board. Kuudere guidelines: This thread was created the day after "kuudere" was born. At first, of course, it was based on the theory that "kuudere = sunao cool", but it soon became deserted. Then, from mid-2006, posts that were closer to the theory that "kuudere = cool tsundere" began to appear. At this point, the theory that "kuudere = cool tsundere" has been confirmed. It seems that around 2010 the theory that "kuudere = cool tsundere" was already pretty dominant. That's what kuudere is all about. It's like replacing tsun with cool. Sunao cool is always full of dere, but cool.” - ↑ What Does Kuudere Mean?. Yotsuba (2021/02/23). “Although she acts cold and curt in front of everyone, when they're alone she becomes a deredere kuudere. A character who usually behaves coolly so that others don't know about the person they love, but becomes a completely different person and clingy when they're alone with the person they love is called a "kuudere." It's an abbreviation of "kuuru" and "dereru". "Kuudere" and "Tsundere" are similar types, right? Many people probably think, "If kuudere and tsundere both can't be honest, then surely they have the same meaning?" But the big difference is whether they adopt a calm or cold attitude. If you think about it this way, it's easy to understand the difference in how to use kuudere and tsundere.”
