| 11 | A particular style of drawing eyes in {{manga}} and {{anime}} where the outer corners slant upwards, ending in a distinct sharp point, used in contrast to the traditional {{Moe}} soft drooping style, [[TaremeEyes Tareme]]. Tsurime symbolizes strong will, arrogance, or pride in a character. Most noticeable in female designs (since it plays against feminine stereotypes) and is a common tell-tale sign of {{Tsundere}}s, {{Emotionless Girl}}s, [[SugarAndIcePersonality Sugar and Ice]] types, and {{Action Girl}}s. It's also a common (although not guaranteed) trait of the {{Seme}} in the BoysLoveGenre. Otherwise, tsurime are quite prevalent in male characters because they convey strong, reliable masculinity. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | For something vaguely similar in western media, see ClintSquint. See also GoodEyesEvilEyes. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Not to be confused with {{Tsundere}}, though tsunderes commonly sport these sort of eyes. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Note that the ''me'' in ''tsurime'' actually means "eyes" in Japanese. We simply wish to be clearer, even if it comes off as redundant. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Its opposite is TaremeEyes. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | If a character normally has Tsurime and switches to Tareme it might signal a change in [[NotHimself temperament]], [[SplitPersonality personality]], or SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments. |
| 22 | ---- |
| 23 | !!Examples: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 26 | |
| 27 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 28 | * In Creator/ArinaTanemura's manga, tsurime represent masculinity in male characters (most male characters have tsurime, except [[DisguisedInDrag when they cross-dress]]), mysteriousness, experience or maturity in female characters. They're also used for villainesses in conjunction with [[HellishPupils slit pupils]]. Otherwise, female characters usually have {{tareme}}. |
| 29 | * Tsurime are a hallmark of many of Creator/{{CLAMP}}'s character designs, especially in ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' and some of the group's other older works. |
| 30 | * In ''[[MoeAnthropomorphism Afghanis-tan]]'', [[{{Eagleland}} Meriken]] has some [[http://sites.google.com/site/rubbersoul1967/Meriken.jpg pretty impressive ones]]. |
| 31 | * Urd is ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NormalUrd.JPG depicted this way]], as opposed to the TaremeEyes design of her rather more innocent sisters. Episode 13 includes a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MoeUrd.JPG humorous sight gag]] where she temporarily gets big {{moe}} eyes while imitating Skuld. |
| 32 | * A simplified version appears in ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''. While most of the donburi characters have simple round eyes with pupils, Unadonman's eyes are almond shaped and point upwards. Even though nearly all of the donburi characters regard their donburi as number one, Unadonman takes it one step higher. He won't accept ''any'' food as being better than unadon, and looks down upon other characters. It's very common for episodes featuring him to [[BreakTheHaughty knock him down a peg]] for thinking this. |
| 33 | * Hayami from ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'' has these, combined with her serious personality and her marksmanship, which earns her the nickname "Tsundere Sniper". |
| 34 | * ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'': |
| 35 | ** Mikage Sakurai is the straightest example of this trope, as a girl with these eyes and being the {{Tsundere}} OnlySaneMan of the cast. |
| 36 | ** Ao Manaka is an unusual {{zigzagged}} case. While she's always drawn with eyes like that, she's introduced as the [[ShyBlueHairedGirl most introverted member of the cast]], which means she isn't this trope...until she GrewASpine in the second volume, where she starts to bear the headstrongedness--and acting on it--that is the personality hallmark of this feature. |
| 37 | * Krista Lenz from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' is an interesting [[InvertedTrope inversion]]. She has [[spoiler:(or rather cultivated)]] a sweet, caring personality with Tsurime Eyes. Contrast Mikasa Ackerman, a ruthless killing machine with TaremeEyes. |
| 38 | * ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': Kagura and Sakaki are depicted with these eyes. |
| 39 | ** In Sakaki's case, this makes her have a [[FaceOfAThug serious and menancing look that could scare off others despite her much nicer nature]] |
| 40 | ** For Kagura, this highlights her as a Tomboy, with matching attitude. |
| 41 | * In the ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' LightNovels, Luck Gandor is frequently described as "fox-eyed," which in the anime adaptation results in this kind of appearance. |
| 42 | * In the ''VideoGame/BangDreamGirlsBandParty'', The members of Pastel*Palettes, except Chisato Shirasagi, has these eyes. In a subversion of the stereotypes however they're generally [[NiceGirl nice girls]], although Chisato herself [[StepfordSmiler is cynical behind the otherwise polite smile]]. |
| 43 | * Train Heartnet from ''Manga/BlackCat'', mainly to go with his cat-like look. |
| 44 | * Maika of ''Manga/BlendS'' has these, which is part of the reason why she has FaceOfAThug. |
| 45 | * ''Anime/CarriedByTheWindTsukikageRan'': Ran usually sports these. On the other hand, so did an EvilMatriarch. |
| 46 | * Hideko Hasuki, Yurika's maid from ''Manga/ChocottoSister'', has them. |
| 47 | * Though it's difficult to tell with her bangs in the way, [[TheBaroness Cornelia]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' also has these. |
| 48 | * Chikane Himemiya of ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'', appropriately countered by [[{{Moe}} Himeko]]'s TaremeEyes. In both cases the manga makes stronger (although less consistent) use. |
| 49 | * A good number of the cast from ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' sport tsurime, though a notable case would lie in the Son males. If any of them go from their standard tareme (which is supposed to demonstrate how good-natured they usually are) to this, it's a sign that they've become ''truly'' pissed (Especially notable when they transform into [[SuperMode Super]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Saiyans]]). |
| 50 | ** The Jekyll/Hyde esque character Launch gains tsurime when she sneezes into her blonde-haired criminal personality. |
| 51 | * Some examples in ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': |
| 52 | ** Male examples in the anime franchise include [[TheLancer Yamato]], [[KidSamurai Iori]], and [[TheAtoner Ken]] from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''. |
| 53 | ** [[DefrostingIceQueen Ruki]] in ''Anime/DigimonTamers''. |
| 54 | ** More male examples include [[TheLancer Kouji]] and [[SixthRanger Kouichi]] from ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''. |
| 55 | * Eleanor Campbell from ''Manga/EmmaAVictorianRomance'', who has rather the same personality as Mio. |
| 56 | * Natsu of ''Manga/FairyTail'' gets called out for having these by Grey, and calls him "TaremeEyes" in return. |
| 57 | * The tomboyish and focused Miki from ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'', in contrast to the more girly and energetic Asuka's TaremeEyes. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': |
| 59 | ** [[LadyOfWar Olivier]] Mira [[GoodIsNotNice Armstrong]] has tsurime eyes. |
| 60 | ** Ed is a male example; his eyes indicate his harsher personality as opposed to Al, who when he still had his human body had TaremeEyes and a gentle personality to match. |
| 61 | ** Notably, [[spoiler: Selim Bradley]] changes from TaremeEyes to TsurimeEyes when his true identity as [[spoiler: Pride]] is revealed. |
| 62 | ** Envy has these as well, probably due to their incredibly arrogant and cruel personality. Even their [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination monstrous true form]]]] has them, though their [[spoiler:eyes are entirely round in their ''true'' true form, giving them a more pitiful look]]. |
| 63 | * Rika, Yura's perky and slutty younger sister, in ''Manga/FutariEcchi'', which is in contrast with Yura's (and their mother's) TaremeEyes. |
| 64 | * Sasamoto-sensei from ''Manga/GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass''. |
| 65 | * Both Natsume and Sumire from ''Manga/GakuenAlice'' have these. |
| 66 | * Yuuki from ''Manga/GameXRush'', particularly noticeable in his childhood. |
| 67 | * [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ban]] [[{{Tsundere}} Mido]] of ''Manga/GetBackers'' has narrow Tsurime behind his purple shades, which provides a sharp contrast to his partner [[AllLovingHero Ginji]]'s wide, cheerful {{Tareme}} and further emphasizes the differences between their personalities. When Ginji loses himself to his SuperPoweredEvilSide, his eyes become noticeably Tsurime. |
| 68 | * Reika from ''Literature/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun''. |
| 69 | * Haruhi, as well as most of the cast of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', with the exception of Mikuru Asahina, Kyon's sister, and Emiri Kimidori. |
| 70 | * Nagi from ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' |
| 71 | * Several male characters in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': [[{{Tsundere}} England]], China, [[ValleyGirl Poland]], [[TriggerHappy Switzerland]], [[TheQuietOne Egypt]], [[GermanicDepressives Germany]], [[HotBlooded Prussia]], [[PerpetualFrowner Netherlands]], [[FaceOfAThug Sweden]], Germania, and Hesse. ''[[ShrinkingViolet Latvia]]'' is a strange case because he [[OlderThanTheyLook looks]] and [[TenderTears acts]] extremely {{moe}}, though it may be indicative of [[FeeFiFauxPas his bluntness]]. Belgium is the female example, matching her cat smile. |
| 72 | * Sae from ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' has them, however the PuniPlush art style makes it less conspicuous. |
| 73 | * Rei of ''Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead'', both manga and anime, shows tarime if she's being gentle or emotional and tsurime if she's in ActionGirl mode. Saiko? Tsurime 24/7. |
| 74 | * Akira from ''Manga/HikaruNoGo''. His tsurime eyes are a clue that he is much more self-willed and aggressive than he seems. The eyes also highlight the contrast between him and his rival Hikaru, who has TaremeEyes. |
| 75 | * In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', [[ProfessionalKiller Former child assassin]] Killua and [[InnocenceLost sole Kurta Clan massacre survivor]] Kurapika have these. In contrast to the former, Gon has TaremeEyes that match his more innocent, child-like personality. |
| 76 | * Chihaya Kisaragi, Miki Hoshii and Takane Shijou of ''Anime/TheIdolmaster''. |
| 77 | * Rin Shibuya, Ranko Kanzaki, and Anastasia of ''Anime/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls''. |
| 78 | * Gouenji Shuuya and Tsurugi Kyousuke from ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven''. |
| 79 | * In ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', the eponymous Inuyasha has this, as does most of the cast, especially when they have determined looks. One of the few exceptions is the main female protagonist Kagome. |
| 80 | * Seraphim from ''Literature/IsThisAZombie''. |
| 81 | * ''Toys/{{Jewelpet}}'': A lot of feline Jewelpets have this. Usually, it's because CatsAreMean, but in some cases, it's to give the character a cool/mysterious feeling (as in the case of Lapis and Granite). Diana is a special case; in ''Anime/Jewelpet2009'' she was a major villain (AND a cat), and thus had this eye shape. Following seasons have made her either a sympathetic AntiVillain or a generically heroic character, thus, she has had TaremeEyes ever since the 2nd season. |
| 82 | * ''Manga/KOn'': |
| 83 | ** Mio has them, despite being actually a rather shy character -- although she also seems to be the one always cracking the whip about the need for practice. She also has shown a tsuntsun side. {{Tsundere}} type Dere? Probably done as a subversion to the Tsurime stereotype. At first, Mio appears to be the mature adult of the group, fitting her tsurime eyes. Yet as the series goes on, it becomes abundantly clear that her traditionally lady-like appearance hides a very timid, sensitive soul. |
| 84 | ** When tareme Yui does an impression of Mio in the manga, she pushes her eyes to the tsurime position for one panel. |
| 85 | ** Normally tareme [[SenseiChan Sawako]] develops tsurime when she enters Catherine mode. |
| 86 | * In ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', EmotionlessGirl Mai is drawn in this style, while the other characters are drawn with TaremeEyes. |
| 87 | * Hinata from ''Manga/{{Kanamemo}}'' has these for some reason. |
| 88 | * Nagi of ''Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens''. |
| 89 | * Ryouko Kurosaki in ''Manga/KemekoDeluxe'', a LadyOfWar and a BadassBiker. |
| 90 | * Ryuko and Satsuki from ''Anime/KillLaKill''. However, Satsuki's are rather subtle and can be mistaken for {{Tareme}} eyes in some shots. |
| 91 | * Sawako from ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'' has these, which doesn't help people's perception of her appearance. |
| 92 | * In ''Manga/KiniroMosaic'', Karen specifically uses this term to mention that her eyes are slanted like this, in contrast with Shino's more gentle and approachable look. |
| 93 | * Silica and her mother Garlude of ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''. |
| 94 | * Played with in ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'', where the titular Komi has tsurime eyes, which add to her aloof, unapproachable appearance. In reality, however, this appearance also comes from the fact that she has NoSocialSkills, and she's drawn in a simpler style with huge TaremeEyes when things are shown from Komi's perspective. |
| 95 | * Eponine from ''Anime/LesMiserablesShojoCosette''. Used to emphasize the contrast between her and Cosette. |
| 96 | * The girls of ''Franchise/LoveLive'' are usually drawn with tareme eyes, but exceptions to this exist: |
| 97 | ** In [[Anime/LoveLive the original anime]], Maki Nishikino, Tsubasa Kira and Erena Toudou have these. Maki has them for good reason: she's a {{Tsundere}}, has a SugarAndIcePersonality, is highly confident to the point of arrogance, and has a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan, snarky wit]]. Tsubasa and Erena also have these to highlight their very competitive nature, as two of the three members of {{the rival}} school idol group A-RISE. |
| 98 | ** In ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine'', Riko Sakurauchi, Yoshiko Tsushima, Dia Kurosawa and Leah Kazuno have these. Riko's personality actually fits more the tareme route, but piss her off and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/love-live/images/b/b7/LLSS_S2Ep2_039.png/revision/latest?cb=20171015122049 she'll show these]]. Yoshiko has these to complement her "little demon" look and {{chuunibyou}} personality. Leah has these to highlight her competitive nature, as a member of {{the rival}} school idol duo, Saint Snow. Dia, however, has the most noticeable of the four; as a perfectionist, classic tsundere with a HairTriggerTemper and the tendency to ChewTheScenery and MilkingTheGiantCow. |
| 99 | * ''Manga/LuckyStar'': |
| 100 | ** Kagami Hiiragi is the resident tsundere. In fact, her magnificent tsurime is among her most recognizable features, making her impossible to mistake for her twin sister [[TheDitz Tsukasa]]. And of course, her alternate-world doppelganger/{{Expy}}, Kyou Fujibayashi from VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}. |
| 101 | ** [[EmotionlessGirl Minami]], [[CuteLittleFang Misao]], Ms. Kuroi, and a few other characters also have this eye style. |
| 102 | ** [[TheGadfly Konata]] appears to have a more subtle version of tsurime, though originally she had tareme. |
| 103 | * In the second season of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', {{tsundere}}-ish CuteBruiser Vita and LadyOfWar Signum as well as [[spoiler:the original Reinforce]] sport tsurime eyes. In the third season, Erio and Teana follow the case, while [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/actiongirl-subaru-nanoha-67.jpg Subaru Nakajima]] combines this with gold eyes when her BerserkButton is hit. Also, {{Tsundere}}-ish Agito, who gets paired up with [[spoiler:Signum]] in the end. |
| 104 | * In ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'', HotBlooded Hikaru and RichBitch Umi both have sharply-drawn eyes, while excessively-polite Fuu has TaremeEyes. |
| 105 | * Tachibana from ''Manga/{{Mahoraba}}''. |
| 106 | * [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Chang Wufei]] of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' is the only member of the main five whose eyes end in a distinct point. Depending on the angle, even the point is upturned, making him a [[ExaggeratedTrope somewhat extreme example]]. |
| 107 | * Nina Wong in ''Anime/MyOtome''. |
| 108 | * In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Tsurime eyes seem to be the standard eye shape. It's easier listing those with TaremeEyes than those with Tsurime eyes. |
| 109 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': |
| 110 | ** Setsuna, who is fittingly an ActionGirl obsessed with maintaining her abilities as a swordswoman. Notably, when she starts [[SugarAndIcePersonality letting her]] [[{{Moe}} emotions out]], they become [[TaremeEyes noticeably rounder]]. They also fluctuate with emotion: Notice that when she's in battle mode in the middle panel here her eyes are highly tsurime, then in the lower right panel, when she realizes there's no threat, they go [[TaremeEyes tareme]]. Her normal mode is in between. |
| 111 | ** Evangeline is also like this. |
| 112 | ** Yue is also like this after she TookALevelInBadass. |
| 113 | ** Also, this is pretty much the only physical attribute that distinguishes [[spoiler:Zazie]] (who has TaremeEyes) and her sister (who has these). |
| 114 | ** Whenever Negi gets pissed or enters Dark Mode, they turn like this coupled with one hell of a really nasty glare.....it's best if you haul your ass out of the place when that happens. |
| 115 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': |
| 116 | ** Despite being soft-spoken and calm to the point of [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], Rei has sharp, red Tsurime Eyes. This foreshadows that in spite of her cold attitude at first, she has [[SugarAndIcePersonality a kind, warm side]] to her which Shinji has the luck to find out. [[spoiler: And it also shows that even if she acted like an ExtremeDoormat before, she later gains a backbone, enough to reject Gendo and his Instrumentality plan, to side fully with his son Shinji.]] |
| 117 | ** Kaworu also has similar red Tsurime Eyes that contrast Shinji's blue TaremeEyes, to signify him as a positive ShadowArchetype of Shinji. [[spoiler: They also show that he and Rei share the same background: both are not (fully) human, Kaworu is a full-on angel while Rei is only half human.]] |
| 118 | * In ''Manga/NinjaNonsense'', the [[TokenMiniMoe little]] {{Tsundere}} Miyabi have tsurime . her naïve GenkiGirl big sister Shinobu have [[TaremeEyes tareme]]. |
| 119 | * In ''Anime/{{Noir}}'' Kirika's eye shape is normally standard, but her eyes go [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarykirika_8311.JPG distinctly tsurime]] when she embraces her dark side. |
| 120 | * Ryoko Ōkami from ''Literature/OkamiSan''. |
| 121 | * ''Literature/{{Oresuki}}'': [[ManipulativeBastard Joro]] switches between this and TaremeEyes, depending on whether he's being honest or in "nice guy" mode. Very apparent in episode 3 when Pansy asks him to switch to his "[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Hyde]]" persona. |
| 122 | * ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' has a lot of characters with these eyes, but Alice and Elliot are notable for being {{Tsundere}}s with these kinds of eyes. |
| 123 | * Ruby, Green (the boy), Gold, and Platinum Berlitz from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures''. |
| 124 | * In the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', Jessie and James, and their rivals Butch and Cassidy, have tsurime eyes. They're all a part of the villainous Team Rocket. The tsurime eyes became more emphasized with the ''Best Wishes'' (''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesBlackAndWhite'') ArtEvolution. |
| 125 | * Rue in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', TheOjou and DarkMagicalGirl. |
| 126 | * [[DarkMagicalGirl Kyouko]] from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' is the one person who actually has some shape to her eyes in a series otherwise full of people with TaremeEyes. [[spoiler:Also, [[AdrenalineMakeover Homura,]] when [[TookALevelInBadass she starts powerleveling in badassery.]]]] |
| 127 | %%* ''Manga/Reborn2004'': Tsunayoshi shares Yugi's above noted trait when he goes into Hyper Deathperation mode. |
| 128 | * Both Chizuru and Ruka of ''Manga/RentAGirlfriend'' have these. |
| 129 | * [[SplitPersonality Inner Moka]] from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' sports these, as opposed to Outer Moka. |
| 130 | * Himura Kenshin from ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' when he's serious and especially when he's in Battousai mode, other characters also notice this change. |
| 131 | * Rei Hino/Sailor Mars and Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus from ''Anime/SailorMoon''. Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter is occasionally drawn with this type of eyes when her badassery is being emphasized. |
| 132 | * ''Manga/SakuraNoIchiban'': The snarky and bookish, Misao, has these eyes which contrasts with with her friend, GenkiGirl Asami's TaremeEyes. |
| 133 | * ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'': |
| 134 | ** The title character has these kinda eyes, possibly to indicate his jaded, stern cynicism. |
| 135 | ** [[DevilInPlainSight Mayo Mitama]] also has these, because she's a sadist with the FaceOfAThug... But she always gets away with what she does because no-one wants to be accused of judging her for her appearance. |
| 136 | ** Miko Nedu, a girl who uses pyramid marketing to scam people, has Tsurime, too. In contrast, her partner-in-crime, Shouko Maruuchi, has TaremeEyes. This is possibly because Miko sells serious overpriced wares, making her appear greedy, while Shouko sells underpriced wares, making her appear more generous... However, it's still a scam, and they will, without fail, trick their costumers into buying Miko's wares, too. |
| 137 | * Yakumo, Eri, and Itoko from ''Manga/SchoolRumble''. In Yakumo's case the meaning behind the trope is zigzagged: her childhood personality is much more in line with the typical personality type for this trope which may imply that she intentionally shifted her personality to one more in line tareme eyes. |
| 138 | * Shana of ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' has these eyes, being a {{Tsundere}}. |
| 139 | * Kiseki and Dia from ''Manga/ShugoChara''. |
| 140 | * Mamiina from ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'' is drawn this way to indicate her strong will and mean streak. |
| 141 | * Natsuki from ''Anime/SpellboundMagicalPrincessLilPri'' when in her transformed 'adult' form. Her normal child form less so. |
| 142 | * Narumi Ayumu in ''Manga/{{Spiral}}'', most noticeable in the manga. Interestingly, though he acts pretty cocky and arrogant, his weak will is an issue for him and part of his character development. |
| 143 | * Iroha in ''Manga/SumomomoMomomo''. Her tsurime distinguishes her as the most Badass of the series' [[ActionGirl Action Girls]]. |
| 144 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': |
| 145 | ** [[spoiler:Anti-spiral Nia]] changes from Tareme to Tsurime with the corresponding personality shift. |
| 146 | ** [[spoiler:Simon]] also changes from Tareme to Tsurime post-TimeSkip. At first, it's subtle, but they turn outright visible in the FinalBattle. Respectively, he has quite possibly the strongest will of any of the characters. |
| 147 | * [[http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1592/vlcsnap2011111711h41m17.png Barnaby]] from ''Anime/TigerAndBunny''. {{Tomboy}}ish [[{{Bokukko}} Pao-Lin]] and [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench Agnes]] also sport tsurime. Oddly enough, these three are Green Eyed -- Barnaby has emerald-green eyes, Pao-Lin's are a dark shade of lemon-green, and Agnes's are olive-green. |
| 148 | * Most of the women who could be counted as adults in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' seem to have gotten this treatment. |
| 149 | * Hana from ''Manga/UzakiChanWantsToHangOut'' has them, especially when she's teasing Sakurai. |
| 150 | * A majority of ''Manga/WanderingSon'' characters have TaremeEyes however Anna and Riku have Tsurime. Anna has a SugarAndIcePersonality. Anna and most often Riku sometimes pair this with HellishPupils for cartoony effect, which makes them look like cats. |
| 151 | * Aya from ''Anime/WeissKreuz''. |
| 152 | * In the 80's film ''Anime/{{Windaria}}'', both Veronica and [[TheVamp Selenia]] have these, in contrast to [[HouseWife Marie]]'s TaremeEyes. |
| 153 | * Rika Kawai in ''Anime/WonderEggPriority''. |
| 154 | * In ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'', several characters, including protagonist Keima (which carried over to his new body during his FreakyFridayFlip), but most obviously with [[DemonicPossession Goddess Possessed]] [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friend]] Tenri, with whom it's the most obvious way to tell which entity, Tenri (TaremeEyes) or Diana (Tsurime), is in charge. |
| 155 | * Azuma Hazuki of ''VisualNovel/YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito''. Partly subverted in that there are times when her eyes ''don't'' look like this...usually when she's fantasizing about Hatsumi or otherwise delirious with love and/or lust. |
| 156 | * In ''Anime/YuGiOh'' one of the ways you can tell Yami Yugi has taken control is that Yugi's eyes go from Tareme to Tsurime. Ditto Bakura and his dark counterpart. Kaiba is the only modern teenaged character who ''always'' has this going on. |
| 157 | ** Yugi has shifted over to this eye type in the [[Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions Dark Side of Dimensions]] anniversary movie [[spoiler:as he has grown older and come to resemble Atem more]]. |
| 158 | ** Jaden in ''[[Anime/YuGiOhGX GX]]''. It's most noticeable in season 4, after his FusionDance with Yubel. |
| 159 | * ''Anime/YuruYuri'': Similar to the Anime/LuckyStar example, Chizuru has these to differentiate her from her [[TaremeEyes more even-tempered twin]], Chitose. |
| 160 | * ''Anime/VoltesV'': In true {{Tsundere}} fashion, [[LongHairedPrettyBoy Prince]] [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Heinel]]'s eyes [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heinel_from_voltes_v.png slant upwards at the corners]]. It also adds another factor to his PrettyBoy status. His ImpliedLoveInterest [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Katherine]]'s eyes slant upwards similarly, but [[EveryoneCanSeeIt she is anything but a]] {{Tsundere}}. |
| 161 | |
| 162 | [[/folder]] |
| 163 | |
| 164 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 165 | * Katarina in ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' dislikes her upward turned eyes because she thinks they literally make her look like an AlphaBitch villain character from an otome game, but everyone else thinks they're quite pretty, if perhaps a little intense looking. She inherited them from her mother who seems to have been equally self conscious about them. |
| 166 | * ''Literature/TanteiTeamKZJikenNote'''s Uesugi has a very prominent pair of this, which stands out among the cast. Fit for the local DeadpanSnarker. |
| 167 | [[/folder]] |
| 168 | |
| 169 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 170 | * Wrestling/AlexaBliss has sharp catty eyes to match her strong-headed and arrogant personality. |
| 171 | * Wrestling/BeckyLynch has sharp upward angled eyes to go with her BoisterousBruiser persona. |
| 172 | [[/folder]] |
| 173 | |
| 174 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 175 | * In ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'', monkeys with red pants (the aggressive, violent ones) have these eyes. |
| 176 | * Tawna applies as a Western-type case in the modern Crash games, but this is especially obvious in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled''; she has squintier, attractive eyes as the cool, level-headed, straight-laced and most serious member of the Nitro Squad, which tends to have rounder eyes (especially in their former designs, which is referenced by the anime-styled art on Slide Coliseum's banners) and quirky personalities. |
| 177 | ** [[VideoGame/CrashTagTeamRacing Pasadena O'Possum]] is an even stronger case of having such eyes, especially since she's a tough-as-nails, boisterous and exuberant racer. She does act softer when being dorky or around Crash though. |
| 178 | * Laharl's eyes from ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'' are drawn like this, and he is indeed a {{Tsundere}}. |
| 179 | ** As are [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Mao]]'s, [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten Valvatorez]]'s, and [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Rozalin]]'s. The fact that most of them are royal {{Tsundere}}s is probably not inconsequential. |
| 180 | * The highly aggressive {{tsundere}} Lily is the most prominent character with these kinds of eyes in ''VideoGame/DuelSaviorDestiny''. |
| 181 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': |
| 182 | ** One of the new characters introduced in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragon'', Athena, has these. |
| 183 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': Lysithea and Felix have these, showcasing their more serious personalities, especially next to Hilda and Sylvain respectively, who have TaremeEyes. Jeritza also has them, in contrast to [[spoiler:his long-lost [[SiblingYinYang sister]] [[WhiteMagicianGirl Mercedes]]]]. |
| 184 | * ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' has several characters that have these kinds of eyes. Mona, Xinyan, Xiao, Yun Jin, Freminet, and Furina are notable examples. |
| 185 | * Palutena from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' onward, has a notable NonStandardCharacterDesign; compared to the other characters' anime-esque eyes, hers are more realistic-shaped; this carries over to her ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' appearance. The ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' animation made by ''Creator/StudioShaft'' usually depicts her eyes [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sgL6dl9W0RA/maxresdefault.jpg either tareme or in-between]]; however, [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x7V7FdWxX_k/maxresdefault.jpg when they become tsurime]], it's a sign she is done with others, and that it's [[LetsGetDangerous time to show what she can actually do]]. Her reveal trailer for ''3DS/Wii U'' (also made by ''Shaft'') also [[https://i.imgur.com/I2Dkpi0.png depicts her with tsurime eyes]] during most of the trailer (but not the actual game). |
| 186 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 187 | ** [[GoodIsNotSoft Link]] in many of his [[LegacyCharacter appearances]], as does Zelda herself. |
| 188 | ** ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'' shows that the younger Impa [[IdenticalGrandson looks very similar]] to how her granddaughter Paya will look like in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. One major difference, however, is that Impa has tsurime, which help emphasize her more confident ActionGirl characterization in contrast with her ShrinkingViolet granddaughter. |
| 189 | * The ''VideoGame/LuminousArc'' series features various characters with these, most noticably Fatima. |
| 190 | * [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Knuckles the Echidna]], [[TroubledButCute Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[TheNapoleon Jet the Hawk]] and [[DefrostingIceQueen Blaze the Cat]] from the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series. |
| 191 | ** Also prominently featured on [[GoldenSuperMode Super]] [[SmugSuper Sonic]]. |
| 192 | * Zero from the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series. Dynamo appears to have them, too. |
| 193 | * The most notable example of tsurime from ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' would be IF. Noire, Uni, and Arfoire seem to have this going on as well. |
| 194 | * ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': |
| 195 | ** Callie is a very nice GenkiGirl with tsurime eyes. She is a part of an IdolSinger duo called the "Squid Sisters" with her snarky cousin Marie, who in comparison has TaremeEyes. |
| 196 | ** Playable Octolings have very noticeable tsurime eyes compared to the mostly round-eyed Inklings, playing into how they tend to be much more serious and reserved in nature than their hedonistic and energetic sister species. |
| 197 | ** Shiver has sharper eyes than the more excitable Frye, who has TaremeEyes, and the less serious Big Man, who has neither TaremeEyes nor TsurimeEyes. |
| 198 | * ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': [[TheAce Tianhuo]] and [[SexyScandinavian Velvet]] (as well as many other [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy longmas]] and female [[TheMarvelousDeer reindeer]]) have these type of eyes. |
| 199 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'', male characters, like Dorihouri, are drawn this way. Females, even {{Cute Bruiser}}s like his sister Karura are drawn with TaremeEyes. The effect is an interesting combination of {{moe}} and badass. |
| 200 | * Captain Varrot of ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' is animated like this and quite a few of the recruits, too. |
| 201 | * Adults (meaning those in their thirties or older) in ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion'' have eyes drawn like this. Also [[HeroAntagonist Gulcasa]]. |

| 203 | |
| 204 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 205 | * Rin Tohsaka in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. |
| 206 | * In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', one of the main differences in appearance between Mio and Midori is that Midori has tsurime while Mio has tareme, which fits the fact that Midori is much more confident, playful, and jerky than the sweet, shy (if DeadpanSnarker) Mio. |
| 207 | [[/folder]] |
| 208 | |
| 209 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 210 | * Blake Belladonna from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has these to highlight her [[spoiler: being a cat Faunus]]. Coincidentally, she is also quite aloof and independent, further fitting this trope. |
| 211 | [[/folder]] |
| 212 | |
| 213 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 214 | %%* Nintendo from ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}'' has these. And...? |
| 215 | * Clau, from ''Webcomic/M9Girls'', is drawn like this. Interesting choice, since she is a Latino character. |
| 216 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}::, both devil girls are initially drawn with Tsurime. One of them changes into {{Tareme}}, [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3050 precisely when her character changes into a softer one.]] |
| 217 | * Used to great effect in ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}''. The secret identify of Mecha Maid, who has ALS, is drawn with Tsurime eyes to showcase how she is apart from life, and unapproachable. When she puts on her Mecha Maid costume? She switches to Tarime eyes. Furthermore, when her secret identity is discovered...she puts on her Mecha Maid headdress, instantly switching to Mecha Maid. |
| 218 | ** After she becomes a major character, she wears the headdress 24/7, giving her permenant Tarime eyes. It's also justified IC, as without the headdress...she can't emote with her face, thanks to ALS. |

| 222 | %% When adding examples to this section, make sure the example in question uses ''both'' the shapes ''and'' the personalities. For example, ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' uses many of the shapes, but does not consistently use the associated personalities. |
| 223 | * Gwen Tennyson from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' fits, being a somewhat tomboyish {{tsundere}}. |
| 224 | * [[ProperLady Rarity]], [[{{Tsundere}} Princess Luna]], [[SugarAndIcePersonality Maud Pie]], and Limestone Pie from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. |
| 225 | ** Sunset Shimmer in the first ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' film (she leans toward TaremeEyes in the second), and [[spoiler: Human!Twilight Sparkle]] from TheStinger of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]''. |
| 226 | * ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': |
| 227 | ** Raven has very good TsurimeEyes, as expected of a SugarAndIcePersonality. (Whenever she shows her hidden vulnerable side she gains TaremeEyes). |
| 228 | ** Robin has TsurimeEyes, fitting as the serious minded team leader. |
| 229 | ** Starfire is usually TaremeEyes befitting TheHeart, but gains TsurimeEyes when enraged. |
| 230 | ** Blackfire has Tsurime, signalling that her personality is opposite to her sister Starfire. |
| 231 | ** Terra appropriately alternates between Tareme and Tsurime depending on which side of her personality is showing, befitting her dual nature. |
