Here is a list of stereotypes, tropes, and personality types that originate from anime and manga. There are two ways for these tropes to appear in this category.
The Deres[]
Dere is a slang suffix originating from the Japanese word “deredere” (or “lovestruck” in English), which is used by manga and anime fans to describe a range of popular character traits or attitudes often attributed to anime characters, but this can also apply to characters outside of anime & manga if they exhibit the traits. Dere types describe characters who express their love for someone in different ways, or on different levels.
Tropes that Originate from Japan[]
Not every anime archetype must end with the dere suffix, some can end with a "gire", "en", etc. The suffix doesn't matter as long as the terms and word combinations originate from Japan.
