History VerbalTic / AnimeAndManga

** Kirby himself doesn't say anything other than "Poyo!" At least while he isn't using any [[MegaManning absorbed power]]. (He can say his own name too, and can also say "suika", Japanese for watermelon, Kirby's TrademarkFavouriteFood in the anime. He also says Dedede's name at one point.)

* A rather famous example is ''Anime/RozenMaiden'''s Suiseiseki with "desu" (former poster girl of this trope). In [[{{Keigo}} polite Japanese]], "desu" at the end of a sentence can mean "is" or "are", but it is typically clipped in speech to [des] or [desə]; Suiseiseki, unusually, stresses the final vowel. There is an enormous amount of MemeticMutation regarding this character. Most of the other characters have Verbal Tics as well, including:

* ''[[Anime/{{Persona 4}} Persona 4: The Animation]]'' has Teddie/Kuma who uses the word "kuma" randomly throughout his sentences.

* In ''{{Eyeshield 21}}'':

* Moonface from ''Anime/BusouRenkin'' ends all his sentences with "moo~n" spoken in an extremely odd way.

* Aisha from ''Anime/OutlawStar'' tends to throw in the masculine-sounding "zo na" every few sentences.

-->'''Ken:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Oh, it's over there.]]

* Many of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] in ''Manga/SailorMoon'' do this, adding their name or part of it to the end of sentences. (Actually, the monsters that don't do this are generally [[PokemonSpeak only capable of saying their own name]], period.)

** Souseiseki uses the male pronoun "boku" for herself (she lacks the other characteristics of a {{Bokukko}}, though). This is because she had been impersonating a young boy [[spoiler:against her will]] for quite some time before the series began.

* In ''[[SandsOfDestruction World Destruction]]'', Toppi, a bear-tribe mercenary, adds "kuma" or bear to the end of his sentences. He claims that it is how he shows his racial pride.

Yes, this is common enough in {{anime}} and {{manga}} alone to warrant its own subpage.

* In ''Manga/ShugoChara'', several of the Chara use Verbal Tics, including Yoru's "~da nya~", Nana's "nia" (Which, [[MaliciousMisnaming as she is quite clear towards pointing out towards the aforementioned Yoru,]] is NOT the same as "nya".) and Su's "desu~" (Which is actually a [[MythologyGag self-reference:]] ''{{Peach-Pit}}'' did both ''Rozen Maiden'' AND ''Shugo Chara'', and Su happens to wear green, medieval - maid - ish clothing, so that it is.)

-->''Ken smashes mook's head to a rock repeatedly.''

-->''Ken smashes mook's head to ground.''

* In {{Anime/Pokemon}} Meowth of Team Rocket in has the tendency to randomly slip in [[SayMyName "Meowth"]] during his lines of dialog, possibly a left over from when he exclusively used PokemonSpeak like the average Pokemon.

* Osomatsu Kun's Iyami is famous for saying ~zanzu at the ends of his sentences.
* So is Zanzu from ''LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan''

* Mayoi from ''Manga/AcchiKocchi'', when saying "-san", pronounces it in a rising tone while dragging on the N, turning it into "-sannnnnnn~".

** In the English version he uses the word bear, playing on the fact that he is a teddy bear. He has also bene known to make bear related puns one refering to something as [[{{Incredibly lame pun}} Un-bear-able]]

** In a fan translation, he was talking like a robot ([[HulkSpeak "brother asleep with stomach expose again", "me shut you up if you keep talk", "first time me get treat like luggage"]]), but in the official Viz translation he had his own [[{{Naruto}} dattebayo]], "Al". "Big brother, you're sleeping with your stomach out again, Al", "if you say anything I'm gonna lose it, Al", "this is the first time I was treated like luggage, Al"...

* Mayoi from ''AcchiKocchi'', when saying "-san", pronounces it in a rising tone while dragging on the N, turning it into "-sannnnnnn~".

** Kaku's use of -ja to end sentences is notable because it's a tic normally used by old men. When the Straw Hats question him about this, Kaku replies that he's in his mid-twenties... while continuing to use the tic, further confusing the issue.

** Momoko, meanwhile, has a tendency to add "-su" at the end of her sentences when she's talking aloud-su.

* Mugimaru from ''Manga/NurseWitchKomugi'' would often use "mugi" at the end of his sentences.

* ''Anime/{{Mao-chan}}'' features a character named Misora who ends her sentences with "de arimasu". In the English version, this is translated as "don'tcha know!" or "if ya please!". .

* Little-known KenAkamatsu work ''Mao-chan'' (originally released around the end of ''LoveHina'''s run, though only just now being translated into English in an official publication) features a character named Misora who ends her sentences with "de arimasu". In the English version, this is translated as "don'tcha know!" or "if ya please!". .

* In the Japanese version of ''Anime/YuGiOh'', Pegasus frequently uses funnily mispronounced GratuitousEnglish, and how to forget his "DEEEEEEEEESU!".

** Kushina, Naruto's mother, ends her sentences with Dattebane, which is commented on by Naruto when they meet during his fight with Kyuubi.

* Dio, the main villain of the 1st & 3rd story arcs of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', ends almost all of his sentences with '-te yare', which is about the most elaborately condescending way to give other people a direct order. It roughly translates in intent to giving an order to an insect or inanimate object. The dub of the OVA also translated his ThirdPersonPerson habit of referring to himself as "Kono Dio", roughly "This Dio", "I, Dio".

* Dio, the main villain of the 1st & 3rd story arcs of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', ends almost all of his sentences with '-te yare', which is about the most elaborately condescending way to give other people a direct order. It roughly translates in intent to giving an order to an insect or inanimate object.

** "Last Order narrates her dialogue as above, but announces herself as the topic of the sentence twice," says the troper as the troper attempts to convey the difficulty of translating this tic.[[hottip:*:It depends on grammar rules that have no equivalent in English, so translators have to be creative]]

** Sanae often substitutes ''death'' for ''desu'' (see ''Rozen Maiden'' example above). Her limited English makes her mangle it into "des" -- which is basically a regular ''desu'' as usually pronounced by most Japanese people, the distinction here being that Dekomori instead says "DESS!!!" with extreme emphasis.
