Nekura: Part 2
In the 1980s, as a synonym for nekura (根暗 - meaning "gloomy personality"), the term neaka (根明), which means "cheeful personality," also became popular.
However, while nekura continues to be used today, neaka is rarely used.
There is a slang term similar to nekura, called in-kya (陰キャ), which is short for inki na kyarakutā (陰気なキャラクター - meaning "gloomy character").
Its antonym is yō-kya (陽キャ), short for yōki na kyarakutā (陽気なキャラクター meaning "cheeful character"), and yō-kya is more commonly used compared to neaka.
As you can guess, since nekura and in-kya are insulting expressions, you should be careful when using them toward others.
