Sanae Dekomori

凸守 早苗

Sanae Dekomori is one of the main characters from the Japanese anime, Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai!. She is a member of the Far Eastern Magic Napping Society of Summer. She is voiced by Sumire Uesaka in the anime. In the English dub, she is voiced by Brittney Karbowski. Sanae has very long blonde twin-tails tied with small weighted bags that she calls "Mighty Mjolnir Maul”. She has blue eyes and can be considered very petite. Sanae hates milk and other dairy products. She respects her master, Rikka but does the opposite towards Shinka. She is quite popular in her class because she has excellent mathematical abilities. She has already finished the middle school math curriculum and can solve high school questions easily. Dekomori often ends sentences with the more formal “-desu”, rather than the casual “-da”, both of which are copula verbs meaning “it is” or “this is”. For example "This is Sushi" could be translated into "Kore wa o sushidesu", or else "Kore wa o sushida". The inappropriateness of the formal usage among friends, and the stress of her pronunciation of the letter 's' (the 'u' is always effectively silent), indicate that she is using it as a pun with the English word “death”. The translation of the pun is generally done by using “death” as an interjection, as in “What the death are you doing”.
