Language is something that cannot be separated when socializing with others, and it adapts not only to the origin of language, but also to ethnic origin, social status and gender (Dor et al., 2014). This research will discuss the types and meanings of kandoushi in masculinity and femininity in the anime Kimi no na wa with the aim of explaining the types and meanings of kandoushi in anime. This study uses a qualitative method by using secondary data sources taken from the recording and listening techniques. This research uses theories taken from Iwabuchi and Terada Takanao. The data source used in this study is the dialogue and situation in the anime "Kimi no Na wa" (2016) with a total duration of 1 hour 45 minutes 35 seconds. The results obtained from this study are that kandoushi has four types, namely kandou, outou, yobikake and aisatsugo. Kandou expresses a feeling of surprise, outou reveals the answer, yobikake reveals the invitation, and Aisatsugo expresses a greeting.
