Nekura: Part 1
People sometimes use the term nekura (根暗) to describe someone with a fundamentally dark personality.
Nekura is short for shōne ga kurai (性根が暗い - meaning "one's personality is dark") and was coined by the manga artist Jun Ishikawa.
In the 1980s, the famous TV entertainer Tamori became fond of this term and used it in a TV program, which led to its popularization.
Originally, nekura means a personality that appears cheerful on the surface but is fundamentally dark. However, today, it is often used to describe a dark personality both on the surface and fundamentally.

根暗 Part 1
性格が根っから暗い人のことを、「根暗」と表現することがあります。
「根暗」は "one's personality is dark" を意味する「性根が暗い」という表現を省略した言葉で、漫画家のいしかわじゅん氏による造語とされています。
1980年代、タレントのタモリ氏がこの表現を気に入りテレビ番組で使ったことで、一般に広まりました。
もともとは、「表向きは明るいが根が暗い性格」を意味する言葉でしたが、現在では「表向きも根も暗い性格」を表すことが多いです。
