The title of this article is conjectural. An official name for the article's subject has not been found.

Smug (ボク Boku, or キザ Kiza) (Sometimes called Prideful or Charming) is a personality introduced in New Leaf. They are very polite, kind, and gentleman-like, and will easily get along with other villagers. They seem to be a mix between all personality types and are lively, kind, and positive, but may come off as conceited. In HHD, smug villagers tend to have a bigger ego and talk about how much they're cool most of the time and cooler than everyone else. In the Happy Home Paradise expansion to New Horizons, they appear to be into music, as they will bring up how their roommate can't sleep due to them incessantly blasting music at night, if they have one.

Smug villagers will also occasionally flirt with the player. They wake up at 7AM and sleep at 2AM in New Horizons. So far, there have been 38 smug villagers throughout the game, making them the least common male personality. Some villagers in previous Animal Crossing games notably had their personalities changed to smug for New Leaf. O'Hare and Curlos both had the cranky personality until New Leaf, while Huck and Kidd both had the lazy personality until the same game, and Leopold used to have the jock personality until New Leaf. Roswell had the lazy personality until New Horizons.

Smug villagers talk about logical stuff that other people do, give life advice, and practice foreign languages. They are also aware of their catchphrase.

They generally get along with peppy, normal, lazy, jock and other smug villagers, but may conflict with cranky, snooty and sisterly villagers.
