Reaction Analysis of Tsundere Characters for Developing a Tsundere Dialogue Model

Abstract

Tsundere is a character type defined by a mixture of cold and favorable reactions in their words and actions, or by alternating between these reactions. In the previous studies on Tsundere and their characters in dialogue models, there are not many examples of quantitative analysis of style and intention and application of such analysis to dialogue models. In this study, in order to construct a dialogue model that reproduces the reactions of Tsundere characters, we take several famous Tsundere characters and analyze their reactions. The purpose of this analysis is to clarify the patterns of reactions and how the Tsundere character's reactions change depending on the situation and the relationship with the other party, and to contribute to the realization of the dialogue model. We constructed a data set in which the reactions collected from the analyzed works can be explained by nine parameters and conducted factor analysis and co-occurrence frequency analysis to extract the distinctive traits of Tsundere character's reactions. From the results of the analysis, it was revealed that reactions such as “teasing” and “picking a fight”, which are frequently used by Tsundere characters, occur under certain conditions and in certain relationships.
