Meme lore

What is the Tsundere Shark meme?

Tsundere Shark is a photoshop meme: real shark photos get pink blush, anime eyes, or doodled hair so a predator looks flustered. Captions use the tsundere voice — hostile on the surface, obviously caring underneath. This still is a great white with scribble hair, a chibi blob, and blush lines.

Origin & history

Tumblr user m0x3 posted the earliest known Tsundere Shark on 2013-02-21. r/tsunderesharks launched December 2013. The format spread on Tumblr through 2014 and spiked again around Katy Perry’s Super Bowl XLIX shark dancers (2015-02-01). Know Your Meme: Tsundere Sharks.

KYM original icon (1280×720): a great-white still with hand-drawn blush and a doodle on the snout — not a Pixiv Same-kun / meruccubus comic and not an original anime character sheet. Photographer of the underlying shark photo is unclear.
