History Main / SenseiChan

* Sun Park from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' is on a FirstNameBasis with her highschool students, is young and pretty, and is a gentle mentor to Haley.

* Minamo "Nyamo" Kurosawa and Yukari Tanizaki from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' are probably the {{Trope Codifier}}s, especially the latter. Yukari actually still lives with her parents and doesn't have a driver's license; she might as well still be 15!

* The teacher from ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' is trying to be this... not especially doing that well, though. She best exemplifies the trope when she's teaching her students how to use chopsticks. And failing. ''Horribly''. [[EpicFail A grown Japanese woman who can't use chopsticks]]. To underline the ridiculousness, every single member of her class of middle-school students has zero difficulty using chopsticks.

* Miho Amakata from ''Anime/{{Free}}''. She is referred to as "Ama-chan-sensei" by her students (or simply Ama-chan by Nagisa) and is usually upbeat and quirky but tends to get [[TranquilFury quite mad]] when suggested to wear a swimsuit. She uses old and confusing literature phrases to make a point to her pupils and fellow teachers. It was implied in episode 2 [[spoiler:that she was once a swimsuit model in her youth, but she became a teacher instead, which is why the boys initially asked her to be the swim clubs advisor (though they don't know what she did exactly).]]

* Sonada Sarina from ''KamenRiderFourze'' seems to fill this trope. [[spoiler: Subverted in that her SenseiChan personality is just an act to hide her true identity as the Scorpion Zodiarts]]

* Miho Amakata from ''Anime/{{Free}}''. She is referred to her students as "Ama-sensei-chan", is usually upbeat and quirky and she uses old and confusing literature phrases to make a point to her pupils. It was implied in episode 2 [[spoiler:that she was once a swimsuit model in her youth, but she became a teacher instead, which is why she became the school swim club's faculty advisor.]]

* Miss Grotke from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' has some shades of this trope. She's pretty much loved by all her students (and takes a CoolBigSis role to Spinelli), young and unmarried (not a ChristmasCake really, but it's hinted that she's in her early 30s), and is arguably, pretty {{Moe}}.

* Marie Mjolnir from ''Manga/SoulEater'' fits the bill in most respects. She's such a ChristmasCake that she ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} tries to marry a toilet]]''! She does have a dose of CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass, though.

* Miho Amakata from ''Anime/{{Free}}''. She is referred to her students as "Ama-chan", is usually upbeat and quirky and she uses old and confusing literature phrases to make a point to her pupils. It was hinted in episode 2 [[spoiler:that she was once a swimsuit model in her youth, but she became a teacher instead, which is why she became the school swim club's faculty advisor.]]

* Mayuko Shiraki in ''Manga/FruitsBasket''; teacher of the students in Tohru's class. After some of her female students address her as Mayu-chan-sensei, she demands(jokingly) that they call her Mayuko-daisensei-sama.

* In ''Manga/SketDance'', there is a cute, cheerful and ditzy teacher, formerly a children TV show host, who insists that the students call her [[JapaneseSiblingTerminology "oneesan"]].

* Taiga Fujimura from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.

[[caption-width-right:350:If you are a teacher in {{Animeland}}, and you wouldn't fit on this picture, you probably don't exist.

[[redirect:Sensei-chan]]
A common Japanese media character type, the female high school teacher who is fairly young, attractive, and on friendly terms with her students.

On the other hand, she is still unmarried, and [[ChristmasCake very conscious about it]], as well as about [[DudeWheresMyRespect the lack of respect she gets]]. She is usually extremely childish, even her own students appear more mature than her.

She might be HotForStudent, in a comical way.

!!Examples:

* Nyamo and Yukari-chan, from ''AzumangaDaioh'' are probably the {{Trope Codifier}}s.
* Sawa-chan, from ''{{K-On}}''!
* Kuroi-sensei from ''LuckyStar''.
* Koigakubo-sensei from ''{{Toradora}}''.
* Played with, Hinako Ninomiya from [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]. She's got a weird condition (caused by Happosai doing something odd to her when she was a sickly child to help alleviate her illness) where she oscillates between a sweet-cute child form and a voluptuous adult form depending on how much battle aura/ki she's drained from her students recently. The interesting part is that she undergoes a personality change with the size change -- she's mentally a child when in child form, and far more sophisticated as an adult.
* Kiryuu-sensei from ''KissxSis'', from the perverted HotForStudent CovertOtaku type.
* Yokoshima-sensei from ''SeitokaiYakuindomo'', also from the perverted HotForStudent kind.
* Yukari in ''NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu''. Acts very immature, constantly hits on the male students - particularly the main character, who's the younger brother of her best friend and drinking-buddy - and they all [[ChristmasCake completely ignore her]].
* In ''{{Persona4}}'' Kashiwagi seems to think she's this.
* Taiga from ''[[FateStayNight Fate/Stay Night]]''.
* Mika-sensei from ''DokiDokiSchoolHours'' (whose original manga version predated AzumangaDaioh by a few years) is probably one of the more extreme examples: Despite being 27, she looks and (for all intents and purposes) acts like a twelve-year-old, and as such her students have a hard time taking her seriously.
* There is Hibiki-chan from ''IMyMeStrawberryEggs'', of course ''she'' is a WholesomeCrossdresser.
* Subverted with Tsukuyomi Ko{{moe}} from ''ToAruMajutsuNoIndex''. She looks like a ten-year old girl who sleeps in cute pajamas and is friendly with her students. However, she also smokes, drinks beer, and most importantly of all, is an actually smart and competent teacher who acts as a mentor for [[TheHero Touma]].
* Negi Springfield from ''MahouSenseiNegima'' would definitely be a gender-inverted version of this.
* Tonchan/Tom-Tom from ''AirGear'' is so young that one of her colleagues, who's in his mid 40s at the most, was her teacher when ''she'' previously attended the school. And she's incredibly childish and naive.
* Vera Collins from ''{{Heroman}}''.
