pronoun
Masculine first-person pronoun, typically used among close friends or in informal settings. Can sound rough or arrogant when used in polite contexts or toward strangers.
俺は明日、映画を見に行く。
I'm going to see a movie tomorrow.
俺に任せろ。
Leave it to me.
Katakana spelling used for emphasis or in casual writing.
Rarely used kanji form; more commonly read as おのれ.
Originally a second-person pronoun in Old Japanese, later shifted to a first-person pronoun. The kanji 俺 is a 国字 (Japanese-made character) combining 人 (person) and 奄 (cover), though the exact derivation is uncertain.
