"Yandere" is a blanket term; in Japanese, it takes kanji from both the word for "sickness" and "affection".

Probably one of the most prevalent examples is Yuno Gasai from the anime Future Diary/Mirai Nikki; she murders several people in the name of her lover. But yanderes aren't all necessarilly murderers - they can just be unhealthily attached to their lover.
