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 Kakkodere 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. |

"Kakkodere" (JP) is a term for a character who is normally cool and confident, but becomes cute, affectionate, and deredere for their love interest. They have a personality that revolves around confidence as a core emotion, blending it seamlessly with affection and warmth. Unlike other dere types that may struggle with their emotions or hide their feelings, kakkodere characters are naturally self-assured, charismatic, and expressive, making them stand out among their peers. Their confidence is a positive emotion, akin to happiness but accompanied by intense, assertive energy, often represented visually by angry-ish eyebrows coupled with a smile, grin, or smirk. This conveys their bold and assertive nature, making them compelling and captivating individuals.
