Welcome to the Yandere Wiki. We are a collaborative database for a popular type of character in Japanese media (Anime/Manga/Videos Games/etc.) Here you can find an extensive collection of all yanderes for those who enjoy the character type or just want to learn more!
Yandere is a term for a character whose love, admiration, and devotion to their love interest is so strong that it causes them to become mentally unstable. Their love is expressed as an excessive obsession and possessiveness towards their love interest. They become so attached to their love interest that it's impossible to let go and they may even use violence towards anyone who "threatens" their relationship.
They entrust themselves to their love interest, trusting in their love interest's kindness. They probe the deepest recesses of their love interest's heart to more perfectly form their greatest self within their love interest. Some will go so far as to behave in immoral and troubling ways. They will not care about the negative effect their behaviors can have on others, including their love interest, because they only care about their feelings.
Yandere (ヤンデレ) is a combination of "yanderu" (ヤンデル), meaning "to be mentally ill", and "deredere" (デレデレ), meaning "to be lovestruck"
