Dandadan

Taro is an anatomical model who's right-side makes up his exposed muscle while his left compromises of his skin half. On his skin half, he is given a shaved haircut.

After finding out Hana's location, Taro rushes out of the school to reunite with her but ends up attracting the attention of Momo , Okarun , and Jiji , with the girl using her powers to try and stop him in order to retrieve the Christmas ornament hanging from his crotch, believing it to be Okarun's missing kintama. Refusing to stop for them, Taro tries to shake them off his tail and manages to do so after dissembling himself from Momo's psychic grip. However, Taro ends up losing his heart to Momo, resulting in him crying out in pain as the latter begins striking it as way to track him down. After being found by Momo, Okarun, and Jiji, Taro hears Hana's voice underneath the garbage and runs up to dig her out, only for Hana to ask that he leave her since she has already accepted her fate. Taro refuses to comply as he genuinely states his love to her, which moves her.
After Momo offers her help by taking in Hana as a boarder at her house, Taro agrees to return to the school in exchange for meeting Hana during nights. Later at night, as he rushes over to the Ayase residence to meet Hana, Taro ends up running into a few school kids who become frightened by his sudden appearance and gets hit by a truck along the way, causing him to be late in his meeting with Hana.
Along with the Dover Demon and Chiquitita , Taro assists Seiko in fighting the Evil Eye , who has possessed Jiji, by sealing the yokai inside of him with talismans. Shortly after, Taro is thanked by Seiko for his assistance but the anatomical model wonders what he should do with his organs that he had to remove in order to make himself hollow, to which Seiko tells him to put in a grocery bag.
At the Ayase residence, Taro keeps the Evil Eye sealed inside him as Momo, Seiko, and Manjiro try to exorcise it out from Jiji's body. However, with the plan failing, Taro and the other invited guests join the Ayases for dinner. After eating the oden served, Taro unexpectedly causes the Evil Eye to release his hold on Jiji, after the young man reacts to the hot dish Taro put in his mouth, and helps Seiko to realize that Jiji can only be return to normal if he comes into contact with anything hot, while the Evil Eye can be released if he comes into contact with anything cold. Taro then asks Seiko as to how long he will loan out his body to Jiji since the situation he is in is interfering with his alone time with Hana. Seiko tells Taro that his frequent meetings with Hana will be put on hold and that she has set a ten o'clock curfew for them, much to his displeasure.
The next day, Taro is forced to accompany Jiji to the hospital to visit his parents and becomes annoyed with his compliments, such as putting his clothes on wrong or not moving as he likes. After making it to the hospital, Taro tries moving his body to be in tone with the moment of Jiji reuniting with his recovered parents, as suggested by Momo and Okarun, but ends up doing a bad job of it.
After the barrier from the talismans have been used up, Taro is given permission from Seiko to release himself from Jiji, much to his relief to finally relax his body.

The Tsuchinoko is an enormous worm with a spotted pattern serpent body and a tentacle ringed gaping mouth that has multiple rows of teeth. Okarun had noted that the Tsuchinoko was much larger than the average Mongolian Death Worm, which are about 1.5 to 2 meters long in length.

The yokai took on the form of a very elderly woman with reddish brown wrinkled skin, long thick white shaggy hair, wide eyes with a yellow sclera and were stuck looked to the sides. When possessing her targets, she has her victims transform into a mirror image of herself, albeit with a large mouth with teeth that is capable of biting off body parts.
After having her consciousness extracted from Okarun, Turbo Granny is forced to inhabit a maneki-neko doll.

Turbo Granny is a yokai that acts cruel, sadistic, and is extremely foul-mouthed. She is also rather somewhat vulgar, as she offered Okarun a chance to suckle on her breasts in exchange for consuming his family jewels. Since she possesses impressive running power, Turbo Granny takes great pride in her speed and refuses to be underestimated. When challenged to prove herself, she is not above using trickery to get her way, having been deceitful with Okarun and Momo in their game of tag by counting irregularly. Despite her negative attitude, she is revealed to have a compassionate side, as Seiko stated that Turbo Granny would most commonly wander off to spirits of girls who died tragically in order to comfort them, which was the reason as to why she fused with the Earthbound Spirit Crab within Shono City.

Unji is a tall young man with short-cropped hair, the sides of which are shaven, with two horizontal yellow stripes and has a chin stubble. He has a left eyebrow piercing and stud earrings. He wears a dark long sleeve t-shirt underneath a long sleeve collar shirt with a white spot pattern and dark pants with a belt. He also wears geta sandals as his main preference for footwear.
As a child, Unji's hair was already shaved, and his outfit consisted of a simple long sleeve shirt and pants. After being orphaned, Unji gained black rings around his eyes that stuck with him for most of his life.
In his early adolescences, Unji grew his hair to have it in an undercut style, which was pushed back, and was light in color (most likely dyed). His eyebrows were missing, and by this time, he had already gained his piercings and had a small cut located on his left chin. He wore a coat on top of a dark shirt and tracksuit pants. After being released from juvenile detention, Unji's hair returns to its original hairstyle and his eyebrows have grown back. He wore a dark jacket, with an undershirt, pants, and shoes.

Unji is an extremely kind, generous and compassionate individual who puts others before himself, as exemplified by his noble act of helping and looking after troubled teenagers. Such kindness earned him great respect and loyalty among the group of troubled teens who were willing to do whatever it took to get him out of Danmanra. He is also chivalrous when around females. Before he and Momo took on the second stage of Danmanra, Unji gave her his pants to avoid worrying about her skirt while maneuvering through the obstacle course and insisted that she continue to wear them even after they completed the stage. His good nature becomes even more apparent when using his yokai powers that has the effect of changing the user's personality. Though he normally wears an impassive expression on his face, he is shown displaying a normal range of emotions.
He is noted to have moments of being simple-minded. Hearing Unji noticing how hard it was for him to keep balance in the second stage, Momo made him realize that it was due to the fact that he is wearing geta sandals. By the end, the latter couldn't believe it when Unji accidently lost his geta sandals. He also possesses great confidence in his own capabilities after acquiring yokai powers, having once stated to his peers that he will effortlessly conquer the world of Danmanra.
His preference for footwear is geta sandals, finding them to be cool.

Akane is a tall, young woman with an athletic, curvaceous physique. She has tanned skin, dark olive-gray eyes, and unkempt, shoulder-length chestnut hair that sticks out at various angles in wavy spikes. During her high school years, her eyes appeared to be a lighter, brighter green, and her hair flowed down to her mid-back.
Akane wears a short-sleeved, white, buttoned, collared shirt with a chest pocket and the top few buttons undone, exposing a large amount of cleavage. The bottom button also appears undone, exposing her navel when she moves quickly. She also wears a red pleated miniskirt and cream-colored loafers with no socks. During high school, she continued to wear her red miniskirt and cream-colored loafers, but she also wore a white shirt, with long, cuffed, albeit rolled-up sleeves and no visible shirt pocket. She also had longer hair.
As the Ultimate Despair, Akane had the same short hair as she originally had in her first appearance. She wore a tattered white vest with ripped sleeves and hem, a cropped black tube top and black skin-tight shorts underneath, making her stomach and six-pack abs visible. She wore sneakers and was equipped with a long kusari-fundo style chain wrapped around her right forearm, presumably for fighting.

Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc Appearance

Akane has a fiery personality and she loves fighting, as long as there is no other weapons besides the person's own fists and body, which lets her get along very well with Nekomaru Nidai . She is eager to challenge someone to fight her and she respects those who are physically strong, and can somehow correctly tell which people would be strong opponents even if they don't look like it. She seems to think that punching things, including people, is the best way to solve problems and her hot head can sometimes get her into trouble. While she also loves athletic things such as climbing and running, she can actually be very lazy and unmotivated if she isn't allowed to do things her own way. She dislikes planning, training, and routines, but has a remarkable talent for inventing her own moves. In general, her mood can shift very quickly. She can bounce between bored, to happy, to angry, and to happy again. Despite her easygoing and aloof personality, she is loyal and protective towards her friends.
Akane is also extremely fond of food and she can eat almost anything, including small animals. She claims that food is the most important thing, because "If you don't eat, you'll die." She also thinks that eating is very important so you can regain your strength. While her hungriness is often played for laughs, it has some darker undertones. She says that she quickly loses her energy if she doesn't eat and she just gets more hungry if she eats just a little. Her eating can even appear compulsive and sometimes it's hard for her to stop, and she turns low-spirited very quickly whenever she is very hungry.
Although Akane seems to have a rather serious attitude, she may say some quite out-of-place statements. Even during Class Trials , she tends to say random statements that only vaguely relate to the murder. She isn't the most intellectual member of the cast, being easily confused by complex words, misinterpreting insults and figures of speech, and generally defaulting to violence (or threats thereof) to solve problems. She is also very gullible, often easily believing things people say, as shown as she easily believes people's lies in Class Trials and is surprised when others tell her that they're lying. This has often been exploited by Hiyoko Saionji , who used her to investigate the motel room in Chapter 3 when she didn't want to do it and as mentioned in one of Hiyoko's Free Time Events , tricked her into eating flowers. She also dislikes complicated plans and has stated herself that she isn't very good at doing detailed work. However, despite her appearing a bit slow, it should be noted that her gut feelings are never wrong and she can sometimes say things that end up being very important.
In Akane's dark past, sexual harassment was the norm for her and as she is rather clueless, she doesn't seem to be aware of just how bad and wrong it is. She can mention her past experiences in a very casual way, which confuses and disturbs others. For example, she thinks it's completely normal to let someone to do something specifically to her breasts, and she quite often offers this either as a way to apologize or reward someone. She also sees no problem in getting naked in front of others, and she doesn't like wearing swimsuits while swimming. She does, however, get easily embarrassed about romance or if she has to wear clothes she considers silly. Though, she does not seem to really care about pretty things like flowers and pretty sceneries, not really considering them important.
Due to her past, Akane can also be forgetful of people's personalities, as shown when she mentioned in the first Class Trial that the Ultimate Imposter was a jokester, only to be corrected by Kazuichi Soda . She also tends to forget people's names; for instance, she frequently forgets Hajime Hinata 's name, calling him "Hank", "Harvey", and "Hector".
Akane claims that she never gets worried about anything and she is generally very carefree. In actuality, she believes that hesitation and worry is a sign of weakness and she hates being weak. She forces herself to be strong and believes that real strength is showing no weaknesses at all. She believes that she has to be strong alone and that she can't rely on anyone else. After spending time with Nekomaru and Hajime, she begins to think about what it really means to be strong and weak.
Akane is intrigued by the world, as it's huge and "full of treasure". Due to her background, she is content with and appreciates food and buildings many others would consider "crappy". Since she used to take care of her younger siblings, she is very protective of "hungry small things" and she is sometimes strict about safety. She is also terrified of ghosts, but she keeps this a secret.

Aloysius is a stern-faced aged man with pale blue eyes. His fairly long hair is completely white and combed backwards. He also has a white beard running down from his temples all the way across his chin, as well as a thin grey mustache. He appears to still dress as an employed butler would.

Aloysius is shown to be rather calm, stern, and grumpy at times. He is also labeled as eerie and having a creepy voice by the Warriors of Hope.
He is very devoted to Byakuya and if someone speaks badly about "Young Master", he will become even more angry and fiercely protective of him.

In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Alter Ego projects themself with face of their creator, Chihiro; but they are able to turn their avatar into anyone else that they want to be such as Mondo Owada . They also have a green color scheme and multiple applications on their desktop.

In the anime their appearance is mostly the same, but they have more details on their laptop's background such as the Hope's Peak Academy Logo.

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair their avatar is a floating black monolith, with a red outline of Chihiro (and later Makoto) and red text appearing on it.

Alter Ego is a friendly AI whose personality resembles that of Chihiro, their creator. When portraying another person, Alter Ego can change their personality to fit that person. For example, during their first meeting, Alter Ego mimics Mondo Owada 's appearance and personality for Kiyotaka Ishimaru .
It appears that Alter Ego is able to experience a form of "happiness", as seen when they are able to help Kiyotaka get out of mute state, and when they are able to help the students by decrypting files and learning more about the Killing School Life .
They also seem to have some form of "determination", evident when Alter Ego still wishes to help even after getting the files from the laptop; and later, also showing bravery as they are unconcerned for their safety when it comes to helping others despite knowing the dangers, such as being discovered by Monokuma.

Alter Ego Junko has no true appearance, being a digital consciousness. Prior to Danganronpa 2 , she took the form of Shirokuma and Kurokuma as her original bodies. Due to the two being halves of the AI in the different bodies, they take forms of the other color-half of a Monokuma body with personalities that represent each side. When being placed in the Neo World Program, she took the form of Monokuma for the purpose of taking over the program and initiating the Killing School Trip . During the climax of the Killing School Trip, she manifested an avatar resembling Junko's appearance in the climax of the first game. However, this manifestation was many times larger than a normal human, towering over the students even with only her upper body being visible. The avatar also carried a heavily-decorated cell phone, which displayed an image of Junko to interact with the others. Of course, akin to her human counterpart, her appearance (more particularly the avatar on her cell phone) changes to more comically exaggerated versions of herself that match each of her different personas.

As her name and appearance suggest, Alter Ego Junko has a perfect copy of Junko Enoshima's personality and memories prior to her death , including her obsession with despair, her extremely high energy level, her skill at manipulating others, her analyticity, and her mannerisms changing constantly from her self-boredom (e.g., exaggerating slightly more accents and archetypes than her original). Tying with her appearance, she is responsible for Shirokuma and Kurokuma’s personalities, both being acts to trick the adults and children respectively. She is well aware of her artificial status, commenting that she still gets bored easily even after her death and made an AI program also prior to her death.
As per her greater plans, her interactions with the survivors of the Killing School Trip are less focused on driving them to despair and more on simply abandoning hope, on the basis that they can't fall to despair if they never try to hope for something better. Ironically, she seems to hold the same viewpoint towards her obsessions, with her last words being a lament that her final demise will ensure she never has to worry about hope or despair ever again.

Angie has dark skin and round, blue eyes the color of the ocean. Her hair is a pale platinum blonde that looks nearly white and is loosely tied into two wavy ponytails by small, thin hair bands. There are three dots surrounding her belly button, and it is very likely that they are small, silver bead piercings, but could also be a tattoo.
She wears a white, frilly bikini top, the frills a very pale blue, presumably matching bikini bottoms under the blue skirt with white frills sewn to the bottom of it and a blue bow at the waistband. On top of her skirt, she wears a pink utility belt which holds her carving tools and paintbrushes. Angie wears a yellow smock which reaches below her knees, sleeves loose and wide as they stop before her wrists. Her smock has black symbols on her shoulders, the insignia of her previous high school. Her shoes are simple white slip-ons with light grey soles.
Angie wears a white beaded bracelet on her left wrist, as well as another one on her right ankle. She also wears a white pearled necklace with a seashell in the middle of it.
In the prologue, Angie wears her school uniform consisting of a white dress shirt, a red ribbon, a dark blue sweater, a gray blazer, a matching pleated skirt, white socks, and brown loafers.

Angie is very spiritual, believing Atua is always at her side. She has a pious heart, likes praying, has firm faith in her god, and is very willing to help and assist other people with spiritual matters. Angie often searches for things to offer as blood sacrifices, somewhat creepily talks about her need for blood, and asks other students to provide her with some. She also has a habit of speaking on behalf of Atua, and strangely these words can sometimes turn out to be very truthful. As another eccentric habit, she freely uses her own original Japanese, like "Bye-yonara" or "strange miracle," which shows a little bit of her artistic side. Similar to Ibuki Mioda , she also calls everyone by their first names in the Japanese version, which is considered eccentric since Japanese acquaintances typically refer to each other with their last names instead of their first names. However, in Angie's case, this seems to be because she's not a Japan-native.
Considered the quirkiest character in the series by her voice actress Minori Suzuki , [4] Angie is a positive, but quite a strange person who does things her own way. She is notably energetic and cheerful, almost always having an excited and wide smile, even when everyone else is serious. Due to her strong faith in Atua, she is unusually calm and unfazed, to the point of appearing unnaturally cheerful and out of touch with reality. She isn't even afraid of death as she believes that Atua would welcome her in the afterlife and, for similar reasons, tells the others not to worry about dying. In Chapter 2, she even mentions that Atua loves Monokuma because he loves all of his creations. She even appears to cheer excitedly when she sees other students fighting. When she loses during the Death Road of Despair , she is heard laughing and giggling cheerfully, contrasting the despairing and pained voices of the other characters. When everyone else gives up on the escape game in low spirits, she is just glad that nobody has been seriously hurt, thanks to Atua. She doesn't fear being surrounded by massive amounts of insects either, as she claims she is used to seeing them on her home island. Using Atua's instructions as guidance behind her words and actions, she never hesitates. She is also quick to tell the other students that Atua will punish them and all their relatives if they disagree with her on religious or other matters, smiling passively-aggressively the whole time. This, along with her liking for blood sacrifices, can sometimes make her look terrifying.
Being the Ultimate Artist, Angie can skillfully work with drawings, sculptures, and other things, but she is known to say that Atua is the one who is really creating everything. She is simply lending her body, describing the experience as if she's being "possessed by her muse." Angie demands to be alone whenever she makes her art, but it's said that she indeed does appear as if she's possessed. It's been implied that her artwork can strongly affect other people's will and minds, to the point of resembling brainwashing, as shown in her Free Time Events with Shuichi.
Interestingly, Angie seems to be a logical person when it comes to murder. To the point, she often becomes patronizing when others make mistakes. Even though Angie formed a bond with Himiko in Chapter 2, she immediately accused her of being Ryoma's killer when evidence showed Himiko could be the killer. Angie stated that she needed to do so because she didn't want her classmates to die due to choosing the wrong culprit. In similar situations, she is seen eagerly accusing suspicious students without mercy and cheerfully encourages them to use counter-arguments. This character trait of her contrasts with Tenko, who always believed in and protected Himiko until the end.
Angie's notable trait is how she always puts herself before others. While she can mean well and fully believes in her religion, she can use it to manipulate others to do things for her, claiming it's what Atua wants, and people get punished if they don't obey. She is used to getting what she wants this way back on her island and thus dislikes it when people do not listen to her. She sometimes tries to convert others to her religion, though she seems to give up if she notices it won't have any effect and only seems passive-aggressive at most. However, she is an extremely skilled manipulator and is somehow able to deduce other people's weaknesses and exactly the kind of support each person needs. She then offers Atua to them, as she believes that he is the only true God and that his form changes according to the feelings of whoever sees him, which in her opinion, explains the multiple Gods people around the world believe in. For example, for Gonta, it would be a "gentle grandma," and for Himiko, a "handsome guy." Whenever others accuse her of brainwashing, she claims that, on the contrary, she undoes the brainwashing of others by making them believe.
It should be noted that while she is very manipulative and selfish, Angie does not appear to be intentionally malicious, and she often genuinely wants to encourage and guide others through her words. She planned to make the academy environment "heaven on earth" so people wouldn't have the will to escape and start the Killing Game. After finding out that Tenko betrayed her, she didn't really mind and immediately forgave her and simply encouraged her to be better in the future.
In her Free Time Events, it's confirmed that she is convinced she is an oracle who receives divine messages. Because of this, she has difficulties differentiating Atua's intentions from hers, which explains parts of her behavior. According to Shuichi's assumptions, her problem might be that she gets lonely easily and is convinced that other people and Atua will do anything for her. After Shuichi gets angry with her during their Free Time Events, Angie is impressed by this because, on her home island, people never disobey her. As a result, Angie realizes her interest in Shuichi is her own and not because of Atua, and for the first time, she has a chance to speak her own mind. She wishes to make Shuichi her husband, shown in how she glomps him and occasionally does or says something suggestive, but he is very hesitant because they are still so young and don't even know each other very well. During Angie's graduation event in the bonus mode Love Across the Universe , after she hears Shuichi's reasoning about not getting married right away and getting to know each other better at first, she is silent for a moment and then cheerfully answers that it's okay, tooーthis shows that she is willing to listen to her significant other's opinions, despite usually appearing interested only in her own.
Due to the customs of her home island, Angie is also shown to have quite different views on sexuality. She has a quite poor understanding of personal space and can even begin to undress other people in public if she is interested in them. This is also seen in the Chapter 3 bonus event. When the girls are in the dressing room, Angie is cheerfully surprised by how large Tsumugi's breasts are and want to touch themーthough, she at least has the courtesy to ask Tsumugi if she would mind that. It's also indicated that on Angie's home island, people do rituals in which multiple people engage in sexual acts together. Thus Angie wouldn't mind such situations and, in fact, looks forward to her coming-of-age ceremony, which is heavily implied to be group sex between all the participants. She also claims that guests will "share" the bride during weddings, and in general, she appears to have a very nonchalant view of marriage, willing to make such decisions on a whim. As a result, Angie doesn't seem to fully understand how consent sometimes works, as some sexual rituals on her island are considered obligatory parts of celebrations or pleasing other people. For some reason, she tends to refer to sexual situations as "exercising" and "workouts."

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc , Aoi appears to be young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss she is two years older than she believed, closer to her late teens or early 20s.

Aoi is (160 cm) 5'3", making her the shortest female in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and weighs around 50kg with a lean but curvaceous build. She has brown skin, blue eyes, and wears her brown hair in a very high curled ponytail accessorized with a paperclip-style barrette . She wears Hope's Peak Academy-branded blue dolphin hotpants and green sneakers, a white tank top, and a red tracksuit jacket with white piping and her previous high school's logo on the chest. She wears knee-length white socks, a red knee brace over her right knee, a band-aid on her left knee. While swimming, she wears a typical high school girl blue swimsuit with her last name in kanji on the front.
After leaving Hope's Peak Academy and joining the Future Foundation, Aoi wears a modified version of the Foundation's standard female business suit uniform, wearing a green tie and shorts instead of a skirt. Under her suit jacket and dress shirt, she wears a white tank top. She still wears her hair in a ponytail, but it is considerably longer indicating her hair has grown over the years.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc design document Danganronpa 3 design document

Aoi is a warm, cheerful, upbeat, and outgoing girl who is friendly and welcoming towards everyone she meets, trying to make friends with everybody and include them in her activities. Aoi can be quite air-headed and forgetful, relying on the memory trick of writing peoples' names three times on her hand in order to remember them - a trick she also taught to her brother, Yuta. Due to being quite air-headed she can be easily manipulated by others and jump to conclusions or take them at face value, often being one of the few to fall for killers' tricks and misdirection during Class Trials. Aoi is an extremely athletic person and considers it an absolutely fundamental part of herself, using it as an important coping mechanism in her daily life and feeling like she "might die" if she can't exercise. Although Aoi is a star athlete in the running to become an Olympic swimmer, Aoi is insecure that being athletic, which is seen as quite a masculine activity, makes her undesirable to others and might lead to her never finding love. She's also concerned that her extreme sweet tooth, particularly her love of eating donuts, is going to make her fat.
Her positive attitude is truly challenged by the events of the Killing Game, and it fundamentally changes her outlook on the world and her relationships. She is extremely loyal to her friends to such a degree that when they are harmed it shatters her ability to emotionally cope. She very nearly falls into despair during the events of the Killing School Life, as the emotional snowball of the continuous deaths compounded her sadness exponentially, crying alone in her room in the evenings and frequently comfort eating. This came to a breaking point after the death of Sakura Ogami, where she felt so hopeless that she was willing to get herself and the other survivors killed to avenge the death of her closest friend who had been shunned by the rest of the group. It took the support of her other classmates and learning that Sakura had sacrificed herself to try and save the others for path to recovery to begin.
Aoi very quickly gravitated towards Sakura as a fellow athlete, and the two formed a very strong bond, spending the majority of their free time together and becoming very protective towards each other. She also became extremely close to Makoto Naegi, whose ability as the Ultimate Hope was vital in her path to recovery both during the Killing School Life and when she was emotionally tested once more by being thrown into the Final Killing Game. Aoi was very effected by Makoto's strong and unwavering belief in the power of hope and friendship, and in her darkest moments during both the Killing School Life and Final Killing Game he was able to bring her back from the brink and believe that the future was worth living for to honor the memory of the friends they lost along the way.

Ayaka is a teenage girl. She has long, dark brown hair divided into two batches on the back while cut in neat bangs on the front, covering her forehead. Her eyes are a dark grayish-green and very thin. Her ears are large and her nose is a bit plump. She wears a high school sailor uniform.

During her time in the idol group, Ayaka seemed rather happy and cheerful.
In her "scientific" description composed by the Warriors of Hope, it's stated that Ayaka was quite concerned with her corner position in her group, to the point that she turned easily irritated and "super crazy". However, it's noted that even this side of her is kinda cute.
The entry also calls her an extremely dangerous demon who attracts male demons with her "sweet smell" (expensive perfume) and then "devours them whole". This makes it safe to assume that she is also quite cunning.

Ball Monokumas are large and, much to the truth of their name, are as round as a ball. They have a large pair of hands and legs, that are able to retract into their large round figures. They don't have proper "bodies", only a giant head with the same face as the original Monokuma.


DanganRonpa

Beast Monokuma is similar to normal Monokuma, having its body split into a white right side and left black side. It also has similar eyes, mouth and belly button. The biggest change is in the robot's body type, as it moves on all fours and has legs similar to a canine, but with only three toes on each foot. In general, he has a more fierce look, having an erratic right eye and sharp fangs. His fur is also quite messy, especially notable in his fluffy, short tail.

Beast Monokuma, as a non-sentient robot, has only one purpose: to destroy all adults. He acts like a dangerous feral beast and attacks humans in this manner, by trying to push them against the ground and bite them fatally. They're also known to patrol in search of targets and sometimes drag away the ones they've killed, again, similar to real beasts. Naturally, he is unable to speak and only makes beast-like growls and grunts.

The Big Bang Monokuma's base design is identical to that of the standard Monokuma unit. However, it is much bigger than its peers, utterly dwarfing most of the buildings in Towa City . Like the standard Monokumas, the toothy left side of its mouth can morph between straight teeth and pointed fangs at will.
To further distinguish itself from other Monokuma units, the Big Bang Monokuma wears a red and gold crown with small red and blue jewels. Its upper body is covered with a red cloak with gold trimmings and a ruffled white collar. It also carries a large red scepter with a silver head, gold and blue accents, and several red and blue gems (most notably a large blue gem inside a "cage" of silver panels and a blue diamond atop the head with a small red gem embedded in its center).
The Big Bang Monokuma is piloted from a control room in its head. The room features several monitors and desks around its sides, as well as a design resembling Monokuma's face on the floor. Despite the room being large enough to accommodate several people, the Big Bang Monokuma appears to be quite easy to pilot, since Haiji Towa was able to do so despite having a broken arm. It can also be piloted by an AI, as Shirokuma did for the final battle.


DanganRonpa

Bomber Monokuma's entire face and body splits equally down the center into two sides. They are colored in black and white. Just like the original Monokuma , their left side is white with a sharper looking black pupil and the right side is black and has a red slash for an eye and an evil, stretched grin.
Bomber Monokuma wear a green bullet-proof vest and a green helmet. They also carry a silver container filled with hand grenades.

Byakuya is 185cm (6’1”) and weighs around 68kg, with a tall, slender build and strikingly long legs. He has pale skin, lapis blue eyes with noticeably long eyelashes, and has chin-length blonde canary yellow hair. He wears a black suit jacket over a white shirt and lapis blue crossover tie. He also wears black dress pants accessorized with a black belt, and black dress shoes with a slight heel. He has a silver pocket watch in his suit breast pocket and had the pin of his former high-school on his lapel.
After he joined the Future Foundation , the only noticeable changes to his appearance are that he wears a dark green necktie and no longer has his pocket watch or Former High School pin.

Byakuya is a cold and self-centered person who is very reserved. He is not interested in co-operating with others due to his own sense of self-superiority, and his opinion that others are, on the whole, lesser than him. This sense of superiority and black-and-white worldview comes as a result of his upbringing; Byakuya had to prove his worth in battle against his siblings in order to earn his role in the family as heir-apparent, whereas all his other siblings who lost the battle were effectively ex-communicated from the family and cut off financially, deemed "unfit for the name of Togami". Because Byakuya was raised in such a highly competitive environment of "haves" and "have-nots", he thinks all people only think about themselves and he dismisses emotional ties as petty and unimportant, in his own words:

"You're not about to claim she wouldn't kill a close friend, are you? You still don't get it, do you? The game we're playing here isn't so kind. Honeyed words like friendship don't matter here. What matters is outwitting the opponent, defeating them... Not a person alive would sacrifice themselves for another. In the end, we're all in it for ourselves."

Due to his lack of emotional ties with the other students, Byakuya was able to emotionally distance himself from the horrors of the Killing School Life, and thus proved to be one of the most competent and insightful investigators in the group due to his high level of intelligence. His compulsive competitiveness caused him to treat the Killing School Life as simply a game, and one he fully intended to win, just as he had won his battle to become the head of the Togami family - much to the disgust of the other students. An extreme example of this occured after the death of Chihiro Fujisaki, where he posed Chihiro's corpse to frame Toko Fukawa and "make things more interesting", and perceiving the dead body of Chihiro as simply "an object".
However, Byakuya's emotional detachment and lack of empathy towards the others sometimes made it very difficult for him to understand the reasoning for why people would behave altruistically or based on pure emotion; this came to a head during the case of Sakura Ogami 's death, where he could not understand why someone would be willing to give her life to save their friends, or why Aoi Asahina would be willing to sacrifice herself and the others' lives purely to avenge Sakura's memory. This detachment would thus sometimes make him zero in on red-herring suspects and aggressively pursue them simply because he could not imagine an emotionally-driven motive. Sakura's case acted as a real turning point in Byakuya's approach to the Killing School Life, going from treating the other students as his enemies in the game, to focusing his energy on identifying and destroying the Mastermind:

"Sakura and Hina were both willing to sacrifice their own lives to deny the reality of the game. Thanks to them, it would appear the others have cast aside their fear for this game. There's no point in participating in a game which has lost that sense of excitement. Which is why I will no longer be participating in it. Now I have only one thing to look forward to. And that is to heap the harshest possible punishment onto the one who thinks they can control me!"

As described by Kazutaka Kodaka, he eventually became not just a serious character but often a butt-monkey, as he can sometimes appear comical due to how serious and dramatic he can be with his words and belief in his own superiority and how it frustrates the other students, and especially with his interactions with Toko or Genocide Jack. He constantly referred to the other students as "amoebas" and "plebeians". It also appears that he was taught strict manners by his family, as in the the first game he refused to use swear words and once said "effing" to avoid repeating Mondo's language, and is generally disgusted by vulgar words and behavior, and anything he considers barbaric. Due to his unusual upbringing, it's been shown that he has a bit poor knowledge on certain things that are considered common knowledge. He is confused by the idea of people making their own food, as his food is always prepared by a chef, and he doesn't know what toy vending machines are.
As Byakuya greatly revered his family, often speaking of the vast power of the Togami Family, he initially did not take it well and had an unusually emotional reaction when Junko revealed the cessation of their existence. He would later recover from the shock to announce that they would rebuild the family from the ground up. Despite his generally cold attitude, he also does not look down upon his many half-siblings and instead feels some respect towards them.
Despite still maintaining his cold and dismissive demenour towards others, the Killing School Life did appear to alter his worldview and make him more respectful and co-operative with others, though still denies that they are his friends. After initially being drawn towards Despair when Junko told him of the whole Togami family and corporation being destroyed, he seemed particularly effected by Makoto's relentless pursuit of hope and a brighter future for everyone, though he denied it to Makoto's face. He gave a rare genuine smile in Danganronpa: Another Episode when he was reminded of Makoto in the final trial asserting that "hope keeps on going", and agreed that the two of them would work together towards the common goal of ending the war of Despair vs Hope. From that point onwards, he used his wealth and power largely to support Makoto in their shared goal, particularly in helping to rescue and rehabilitate the Remnants of Despair , as despite their terroristic actions he and the other survivors of the Killing School Life were uniquely able to relate to their experience of being under the influence of Despair. He was also instrumental during the Final Killing Game , coming to Makoto's rescue and saving his life, as well as bringing his own men to aid in the survivors' defense. These considerate and generous acts at the risk of his reputation - something he holds as an intrinsic core value - would have been out of character for him before the events of the Killing Game, but show how much of an effect the events he has experienced and the people he has met have had on him.
His newly developed sense of respect for others did not appear to ever extend towards Toko Fukawa, however. Toko, and her alter ego Genocide Jack, developed an extremely unhealthy obsession and attraction Byakuya not long after meeting him, and she began stalking him and calling him her "Master". Her feelings were entirely unreciprocated - in fact, Byakuya was disgusted by her, particularly the fact that she rarely bathed. Byakuya normally distanced himself from others by insulting them, but this trait actually attracted Toko even more, openly inviting him to debase and degrade her and perceiving it as simply a "lover's quarrel", which made him unable to shake her off. His attitude towards Toko highlighted his manipulative streak, taking advantage of Toko's obsession in order to make her do menial tasks for him, while having so little respect for her that he outed her identity as Genocide Jack to Makoto and the others almost as soon as she revealed her secret to him in confidence. Unlike with the other survivors, his opinion of her did not soften after the Killing School Life ended, although he did appear increasingly more apathetic towards her rather than combative. Even after Toko helped to rescue Byakuya from being held captive by the Warriors of Hope during the Demon Hunting game, when she tells Komaru that "Master and I are rock solid. Even if we're far apart, our feelings towards each other will never change" he counters her delusion by saying "Yes, that's correct. It's true what you said. Even if we're apart, my feelings of disgust towards you will never change". However, while later discussing the events with Makoto, he accepts that he owes a debt to Toko and Komaru for saving him.

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc , Celestia appears to be a young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss, she is two years older than she believed. Celestia stands at an average height but possesses a very skinny figure. She wears a white lace bonnet with one white ribbon on each side with a smaller ribbon tied at the bottom, and has black hair in two large twin-drill pigtails. In the anime, the pigtails are more drill-shaped and curved. However, these are clip-ons evidenced in the event of the girls bathing in Chapter 3, as she is seen without them. Strangely enough, they frazzle up when she's angry. She has pale skin, red eyes, and gold spherical earrings which have an image depicting the cross engraved into them with a red gem placed in the center in each and long black nails.
Celestia wears a gothic lolita -style outfit, consisting of a white blouse with a long-point collar, a black jacket that includes white ribbon lacing down the sleeves, fastened by a simple white ribbon across her chest to reveal her red tie (consisting of a butterfly pattern layered on top of various spears with skulls attached to it) and a many-tiered skirt with white lace.
Celestia wears knee-high stockings trimmed in ladder lace with a black ribbon on the opposite side of the other for each, dark red mary janes with a thick heel held on her feet by three grey buckles, a white lace headband, and a silver, Gunmetal plated ring (reminiscent of a Gunmetal Armour ring designed by Vivienne Westwood) layered in overlapping sections on her index finger.

During her school years, she wore dark-hued panties. The tulle lace is of a regal quality, giving off the distinct vibe of a queen. Supposedly a C-rank human cannot stand gazing upon them, likely due to the fact that she considers them a lower status of even her fine clothing.

As an experienced gambler, Celestia appears collected, cold, and cunning by nature. She possesses the ability to manipulate others to do her bidding and can lie with a perfectly straight face, this is shown when she is able to manipulate Hifumi to make her royal milk tea and further be her accomplice during Chapter 3. She is shown to be fairly intelligent, referencing several aspects of game theory such as Prisoner's Dilemma or Zero-Sum Game, and her manipulative and coercion skills are shown in Chapter 3, being able to deceive the majority of the students, including Byakuya up until the class trial. Her intelligence is also shown in previous cases in which she, alongside Kyoko, Byakuya, and Makoto are the ones to bring up crucial points and is also capable of keeping up with Byakuya and Kyoko's train of thought during the trials as well.
Celestia is a very ambitious person, as she declared that she will do anything it takes to win and is ready to go as far as murdering someone or manipulating others in cold blood. She is extremely selfish and values her life over the lives of others, stating she has no problem sacrificing others in order to save herself. She also has a lot of pride, refusing to surrender no matter how far into a corner she's pushed, as long as the chance for victory remains. However, when confronted with complete defeat, Celestia preferred to surrender gracefully over dragging out the inevitable.
Celestia believes in adaptability to be the key to survival, rather than strength or intellect, and she acts upon this by setting up measures such as the voluntarily imposed night-time curfew to protect the other students, as well as herself, from potential killers during the Killing School Life. She often reminds others to obey the curfew and is often annoyed when people such as Byakuya Togami violate the curfew, showing her authoritative and commanding nature. After the death of Chihiro, she coldly remarks that people who disobey the rules pay the price. In reality, she was lying about having to adapt and more than anyone wanted to leave the school, showing how easy it is for her to hide her emotions.
Celestia is shown to be relatively materialistic, with her life's dream being living a life of luxury and decadence in a European castle. Monokuma's third motive appealed to Celestia and caused her to put a murder plot into motion. She was also the only person unable to view Alter Ego as a person or friend, which ultimately contributed to her decision of seeking escape through graduation.
Her mannerisms are strict, refined and her spoiled nature emphasizes this due to her aspiring to be like European royalty. She even has a habit of ranking people between Rank A and Rank F, with her not caring for anyone who is a D-rank and despising those who are F-rank. She despises her real self as she dislikes ordinary and common things and considers her real identity and name to be one of "a loser" . Celestia speaks softly and smiles often in order to imitate Victorian mannerisms and etiquette as a lady. She even uses the extremely polite and formal Japanese pronoun watakushi (わたくし), emphasizing the typically polite and formal way in which she speaks to the others. However, her short-temperedness surfaces when something fails to go as well as she expects it to, such as when Hifumi fails to make her royal milk tea as she likes it. Another example is during the third Class Trial when she's accused of being blackened, Celestia quickly lost her composure after being accused of murder. She shouted and denied accusations towards her with unusually rude mannerisms, often using vulgar language. In the English dub, her normal European accent also begins to falter as well.
To further keep up her Western masquerade, Celestia often does things such as using the Japanese transliteration of the English "gambler" (ギャンブラー), instead of the Japanese term "shōbushi" (勝負師) and claiming her parents are of European ancestry.
As the Queen of Liars, Celestia claimed that she can even fool her own emotions, but this doesn't seem to be entirely the case. She appears to lack empathy and claims that she feels no guilt for the nefarious acts she committed in the gambling underworld, although like most things regarding her, the truth of this is in question. Despite her status as a consummate liar, before she was executed, she presented a smile, but Makoto was still able to recognize her fear within. Celestia has a habit of deceiving her own emotions and so even in defeat always keeps a constant poise.


DanganRonpa

The AI takes the appearance of the real-life Chiaki the same age she was during her time at Hope's Peak Academy.
Chiaki has short, dusty pink hair that slightly curls outwards, though the locks on either side of her face curl inwards. She has short straight bangs split towards the right, a white hairclip resembling the spaceship from Galaga pinned to a lock of her hair. She has sleepy-looking blossom pink eyes.
She wears a white button-up shirt with a dark teal-gray front placket. She wears a light pink ribbon tied around her neck in a bow, with a pale beige pleated skirt. On top of this, she wears a one-button dark teal-gray hooded cardigan with gray horizontal lines running across the hem and sleeves, her former school symbol on the chest pocket. Her hood has pointed ears on the top and two pink eye-like markings on the front, resembling a cat. She also sports black thigh-high socks and light pink Mary-Jane style shoes with white soles.
Chiaki is often seen wearing a pale pink backpack with a white pocket, a plush cat head sewn at the top with a white ribbon tied in a bow at it's base.
She is seen wearing a ruffled white bikini with a ribbon and ruffled pants during Chapter 2, which also reveals that she has a beauty mark on her right breast.

Chiaki normally has a quiet and sleepy disposition, but she becomes a lot more lively when discussing games and concentrates hard when playing. She has a number of unusual habits, such as dozing off while playing games and taking long pauses during her conversations to think about everything she wants to say. She sometimes even sleeps while standing and forgets to breathe when she's playing games. She also quite often uses gaming terms and references.
Chiaki is very calm and she once mentioned that she has never screamed. She often helps Hajime Hinata during the Class Trials and provides important points. She can be stern and bluntly honest, even at times forgetting to take other people's feelings into consideration.
While Chiaki is extremely observant and analytical, she lacks knowledge on a variety of ordinary subjects due to the nature of her existence. For example, she doesn't know where milk comes from (she mentions that she knows how babies are made, though). She doesn't really understand how romance or love works, is very curious about it. She also feels a bit uncomfortable around animals, because they're unpredictable and feel warm when touched, which is "a bit scary" in her opinion. She is occasionally a bit playful and tries to make jokes or play little pranks on Hajime, though they're a bit weird and sometimes borderline creepy.
Chiaki usually ends her sentences with a negative note even though she actually means to compliment someone or cheering someone, such as "...I think", or "Maybe...". Hajime once said that sometimes he wishes that Chiaki would end her positive sentence on a positive note. However, she truly does care about and wants to protect everyone. She dislikes killing more than anything and she gets very serious about the topic. She is the nicest towards Monomi and she is very understanding towards Nagito Komaeda , even though his actions frustrate her.
While she is based on some of human Chiaki's traits, AI Chiaki differs from her in some ways. Unlike the human, she appears constantly sleepy and her way of speaking is much less natural sounding. As an AI she also appears unusually calm and unfazed, even during her own execution, which is very different from the human Chiaki's much more human and painful reaction. She also has her own identity as an AI created by Chihiro, considering him her "dad" and Alter Ego and Usami her siblings. Some of Chiaki's behavior also appears a bit childlike, most notably her handwriting and drawings that resemble ones of a young child, which could be a result of her being a relatively young AI. However, she matures throughout the course of the game and in the end, she even seems to be able to resist her programming, albeit just a little bit.


DanganRonpa

Much like her AI counterpart, Chiaki is a relatively short girl with a fair complexion and a large bust. She has a thin face that is usually seen with a calm or smiling expression, with pink-to-orange eyes, which however are less sleepy than her AI counterpart. Chiaki's dusty pink hair is short to her shoulders, curling outward, except for two front locks that go inward, framing her face, and her frontal bangs, straight but a bit erratic.
Chiaki wears the standard Hope's Peak Academy uniform of a white button-up dress shirt with a red ribbon tied in a bow at the collar, with a warm brown blazer and pleated skirt. However, she wears a cream-colored hooded cardigan underneath her blazer. Her leg-wear consists of a pair of black thigh high socks and white loafers. In Despair Arc - Episode 06 , Chiaki dons her AI counterpart's dark teal-gray cardigan instead of her usual cream colored one.

Appearance in Danganronpa 3

Chiaki is a calm and quiet individual. She seems, at first, to be a little asocial, but eventually opens up, and becomes a lot more talkative when discussing games. She is quite analytical and enjoys learning new things, leading her to ask questions often. Chiaki seems to not be fully aware of her surroundings while playing video games, as seen when she bumped into Hajime Hinata , and usually puts so much focus on them, that she almost never takes her eyes off of the screen. Even the classroom being destroyed around her didn't warrant her attention when she was playing.
Chiaki doesn't think much of her talent. In fact, she seems to dislike it, believing that her love for gaming will not help her gain any friends. When her teacher Chisa Yukizome tells her that she can make friends by playing her games with them, Chiaki opens up more to those around her and starts taking part in group activities. Chiaki is even chosen her class's representative after helping her classmates bond, though she appears quite hesitant about it at first and only seems to take the role because everyone would be so happy about it. She learns to care for all her classmates despite their own faults, and can be very protective of them. According to her classmates, Chiaki is a very industrious and reliable person, as she plans several group activities daily (including Chisa's return party), and even convinces Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu to join them. Even self-deprecating Nagito Komaeda understands that Chiaki would always invite him even if no one else would. However, Chiaki doesn't think that highly of herself, claiming that she likes to help her classmates simply because she likes them all.
Many of Chiaki's beliefs have actually been influenced by her teacher, Chisa. Chiaki comes to understand Chisa's belief that talent is not all there is to life and that doing more important things, such as creating memories with others, creates hope. Chiaki often shares these thoughts with Hajime in the hopes of building up his self-confidence. She is very optimistic and idealistic, sometimes to the point of naivete; even after he is gone for a year she still believes Hajime will someday return, as she is shown still waiting for him at their meeting spots. She also genuinely feels that with all her classmates working together, they can rescue Chisa, despite having seen the poor odds they faced.
Chiaki has some notable differences with her AI counterpart, such as her speech being more natural sounding and her appearing much less sleepy. Being a human, she has a wider emotional range, being much more visibly shocked and up crying desperately in immense pain during her last moments, in stark contrast to her AI self who appeared notably calm and unfazed during her execution albeit having a few expressions of distress.

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc , Chihiro appears to be a young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss, he is two years older than he believed. He has a small, lithe stature and doll-like appearance with short, light brown layered hair and hazel-colored eyes. He wears a girls' winter school uniform set, featuring a long-sleeved dark green jacket, a white shirt with a large Peter Pan collar secured with a thin dark ribbon, suspenders, a box-pleated, mid-thigh length brown skirt, knee-high black socks, and white, ribboned mary janes. The logo of his Former High School , St. Elbandia Academy, is featured on his buttons and the sides of his socks.

During his school years, he wore white bloomers with yellow polka dots. It's described he wears this kind of underwear due to his fear of weakness running deep.

Chihiro is very intelligent, but he also has a very meek and timid personality. He is very shy and apologizes a lot - it's easy to intimidate him to the point of tears. However, he also loves to talk about anything related to his work as a programmer and he becomes more lively whenever the topic is brought up.
Chihiro is one of the kindest and softest characters in Danganronpa , as he literally wouldn't hurt a mosquito because it's "hungry and might have a family". After Leon Kuwata 's execution , he felt guilt-ridden, even though it wasn't his fault. When he was attempting to reason with Byakuya Togami in Chapter 2, he revealed a deep disdain for disputes occurring between friends.
Unfortunately, Chihiro also had a deep-rooted complex over being looked down on by others as being "weak". This happened as a result of memories and experiences from his childhood where he was frequently bullied and told to act tougher due to him being rather frail for a boy. To make the bullying stop, he started disguising himself as a girl to avoid the pressure of having to become stronger. However, this only made his insecurities even worse. Though he tried to hide it, he gets uncomfortable when others treated him as a girl, and he would rather spend time with other boys instead of girls. He greatly admired men who are physically strong and he wished he could be like them, turning down the suggestion of Sakura Ogami training him in the school mode since as a boy he specifically wished to have a strong boy as his role model. In the official artbook, it's also mentioned that he wishes to be strong so that he can protect others.
When Monokuma threatened to reveal everyone's secrets, including Chihiro's real gender, Kiyotaka Ishimaru came up with the idea that everyone should share the secret right away. Naturally, most of them declined the request. However, Chihiro was one of the very few who planned to reveal his secret out of his own will. Instead of falling into despair, he became very determined to overcome his weakness and planned to become stronger so he could be his true self. Sadly, he didn't realize that he was already showing a significant amount of strength, due to his determination and will to confront his own core insecurities.
In school mode, Chihiro states that he enjoys reading and baking, but is afraid of earthquakes, big crowds and singing in front of other people. He really likes rabbits and hamsters and would like to have a one as a pet.


DanganRonpa

Chisa is an adult woman with a petite build, measuring 161 cm and weighing 45kg. She has fair skin and bright large green eyes.

As a member of the Future Foundation, she wears a long white coat with a Future Foundation logo pin on its lapel, a pink dress shirt with an open collar, a black vest, black pencil skirt, long black pantyhose, and black mid-heel shoes. She keeps her hair, portrayed in a muted light brown shade, styled in a ponytail with a pink scrunchie.
During her time as Class 77-B's homeroom teacher, Chisa wore a white ruffled apron over a matching set of light blue suit and skirt, button-down white dress shirt, long black pantyhose, and black mid-heel shoes, and her hair was depicted as a much brighter orange.
While attending Hope's Peak Academy as a part of Class 74th , Chisa wore a standard school uniform consisting of a red tie, brown suit jacket, white collared shirt, brown pleated skirt, black knee socks, and black heels.

Chisa is a very friendly woman with a cheerful disposition. Her friendliness extends to everyone, even those deemed "lesser" by others, such as Hajime Hinata, a Reserve Course student. She is generally very lively and confident, always working hard with a smile on her face and facing new challenges with a positive attitude, such as when she goes around collecting her students that didn't show up for the class after becoming their homeroom teacher through various, often comically over-the-top, means.
Despite her perceived quirky nature, Chisa is quite competent as a teacher. She is able to adjust her personality to best communicate with each of her students, such as being kind to Mikan Tsumiki and abrasive with Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu .
Chisa is devoted to the people she cares about, whether that be her friends Juzo Sakakura and Kyosuke Munakata or her students. She states she does not regret following Kyosuke's orders and is willing to lay down her life for him and his beliefs. Despite this, she does cry at the fact when Kyosuke reminds her she will eventually be leaving her students, as she had become truly attached to them. It is also heavily implied she has romantic feelings for Kyosuke, and while she does not tell him directly, she does (playfully) threaten Juzo to not steal him away from her, also implying she's aware of his feelings for him as well.
She has a strong sense of right and wrong and isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes is right. She willingly stands between Juzo and Hajime when the former was about to assault him, additionally protesting his violent nature at several times. She was also willing to face Ultimate Despair , Junko Enoshima , and Mukuro Ikusaba for the sake of her students and their safety.
Even though she was noted by Mukuro to be unusually resilient against the Despair Video brainwashing, she eventually succumbed to it after being lobotomized. Under the influence of despair, she became more sadistic and cruel such as massacring a group of young children, despite faking her horrified sorrow in the arms of Kyosuke, she kept a photo of the corpses with the message "It was me" to be discovered by Kyosuke himself during the events of the Final Killing Game.

He's a young adult with short dark colored hair. During his appearance he is wearing a bathrobe.

Daisaku is an adult male standing at (213 cm) 7' 0", making him the tallest character in the entire franchise, and weighs around (146 kg) 321 lbs, making him one of the heaviest characters in the franchise second only to Hifumi Yamada , with a large muscular build. He has dark brown skin, stylized black eyes, and has his black hair styled in an afro. He also has trimmed black facial hair and a slight light blush on his cheeks.

He wears a tan opened suit with a Future Foundation logo pin on its lapel, a white shirt with a green circle design on the front, a black belt, wooden geta , and a straw hat he wears tied around his neck.

Daisaku is a gentle giant. One of his most notable quirks is him making up his own sayings such as "the strawberry seed only shows its face three times", but no one has any idea what they mean. Daisaku himself admits that they don't mean anything, he simply enjoys saying them. While his voice has been described as "creepy" by others as it's more feminine than his build suggests, it doesn't seem to bother him and even thinks of it as a compliment.
He also dislikes violence, and even attempted to stop fellow Future Foundation member Juzo from physically assaulting Makoto.

Destroyer Monokuma's body is very similar to the other Monokuma units, except that instead of a face, it has a mask with no right eye and a glowing red circle for the left eye, it also carries a jet and flamethrower.

The Exisals are giant, monkey-shaped killing machine robots. They have a metallic high-structured body with massive arms, long tail and sticking out wires around their body. Their left arm is human-like, while their right arm is used for the weapons (a saw and a gun). They have didactyl right foot and three-fingered left foot. On a right shoulder they wear two-colored shoulder strap.
Similarly to the Monokubs, the Exisals have notable colors on top of their head with the word "Exisal" written in it, each one of them representing the color of the Monokubs (red, blue, yellow, pink and green).
During gameplay segments, the Exisals appear about 2.5x the height of a normal human seeing as they can fit within the school corridors and rooms.


DanganRonpa

Fuhito is a kind-faced old man. He has wispy white hair, which points upwards, and pale brown eyes. He possesses a small, bushy white beard, and an equally bushy mustache. He wears glasses and has rather thick eyebrows. He dons a white dress shirt.

Fuhito is a man who takes detective work and family traditions very seriously, seemingly caring more about them than anything else, as the family's motto is that "detective work comes before anything else".  He wishes to have an heir to continue his work. As Jin showed no interest and even some dislike to being a detective, Fuhito wants to make Kyoko his heir and raises her to be a true detective.


DanganRonpa

He is a slim young man known for having a refined face, sometimes coming off as a “baby face”. Because of his fairly short build, Fuyuhiko generally presents an overly aggressive demeanor to assert that he is, in fact, a tough gangster. He has dusty blond crew cut hair, with a distinct pair of curved lines shaved on each side of his head. He also has freckles along the bridge of his nose and a birthmark near his mouth on the right side. His eyes are gold, and he has permanent blush marks on both cheeks.
Befitting his title, Fuyuhiko dresses in traditional yakuza fashion: well-tailored suits. In the game, he wears a two-piece suit consisting of a dark pinstripe jacket and pants over a white dress shirt. His tie is brown-black with an animal skull emblem on it, and he wears black dress shoes with a platform heel. On his left lapel is a pin that is in the shape of the emblem of the Kuzuryu family, and he wears two silver rings on his right hand. He later wears a black eyepatch with a white, round dragon pattern.
As the Ultimate Despair, he wears a black fedora, suit and a jacket, as well as a long scarf hanging loose and untied on his shoulders. His right eye was implied to have been replaced by Junko's eye, and as such, he wears an eyepatch with a golden dragon pattern. During Side: Hope, Fuyuhiko has ditched his eyepatch and a vertical scar is seen where his eye used to be.
In Despair Arc, for his Hope's Peak uniform, Fuyuhiko wears a white long-sleeved button-up shirt secured by a pale teal necktie underneath a pastel-brown waistcoat with a grid pattern. He pairs this with black school slacks and the same pair of shoes he wears in DR2.

Fuyhiko's full appearance (with eyepatch). Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc Appearance

Fuyuhiko is initially incredibly stand-offish and rude to the other students on the island. He claims he's not going to play at being friends with anyone, and when he is questioned about this in Chapter 1, he states clearly that he would not hesitate to kill any one of the others. He makes frequent references to his yakuza background and seems adamant at presenting a lone wolf attitude. Fuyuhiko doesn't simply want to make friends but considers it not worth his time and beneath him. Despite this, as early as chapter 1, he shows signs of this perhaps not being all true, with him "happening to walk by" the lodge where the other students were having a party, despite claiming that he had no interest in going.
When Fuyuhiko does interact with the others (by choice or otherwise), his attitude is combative and irritable. He's easily angered, often threatening and/or insulting other people when they disagree with or complain about his actions. He frequently uses the word boke (a particularly pejorative way of calling someone an idiot, often translated as all sorts of profanity), and will punctuate his statements in an argument with it. He avoids any proper relationships and is used to being treated with caution by everyone, even to the point of threatening to murder someone, especially Mikan Tsumiki . He acts similarly around Mikan to how Hiyoko Saionji does. In particular he despises Mahiru Koizumi because of her stern attitude and refusal to back down to his threats.
After deciding to change in Chapter 3, because of Peko's sacrifice and him realizing his own mistakes, Fuyuhiko becomes more sociable and avoids bad-mouthing people to the best of his abilities. He even seems to become one of the group's most loyal and steadfast members, though still short-tempered and impulsive. He tries to help others and is shown to openly care about them, even Nagito Komaeda when he was about to die from Despair Disease . Peko's sacrifice is a sensitive subject for him. He takes over Mahiru's role as the tough but fair member of the group, always being on everyone's case, especially Kazuichi Soda 's, but also being very helpful and willing to deal with anyone's problems. He's also very level headed in spite of his bad temper and is very intelligent.
In his free-time events, Fuyuhiko is revealed to have self-esteem issues concerning his status as the Ultimate Yakuza and the clan's heir. He does not believe he deserves the title, though he grows out of this with Hajime's company. He states that he wants to be strong on his own, and not to simply rely on his family's power to get ahead in life. His goal is to be strong enough to lead his family, rather than to be strong because he leads his family. Because of his insecurities, he is also particularly sensitive about his appearance, as people would expect a big, muscular man to lead a yakuza family, and Fuyuhiko's appearance is the opposite of that (except for the man part). It is suggested that it would not be out of the question for him to react violently if someone were to use the word "baby face" in reference to him. Fuyuhiko enjoys eating sweets, such as fried dough cookies, which he considers unmanly and shameful and thus tries to keep a secret. He is also ashamed because he doesn't have any tattoos like "real yakuza" do.
Fuyuhiko takes duty very seriously, and if there's someone who he can trust, he will open his heart and cooperate with them. Despite having no compunctions about murder or framing others for his crimes, he takes more trivial violations of honor and moral codes seriously. For instance, he is strictly against underage drinking, underage driving and teenage sex and is very critical of Kazuichi for his constant attempts to flirt with Sonia Nevermind . In Danganronpa 3 , it is revealed that he is one of the few students that attended the class regularly, even though he didn't have to. He also desperately tried to stop Kazuichi from molesting Sonia when they were under the effect of aphrodisiacs .

Fuyuhiko has a dusty blond crew cut hair, with a distinct pair of curved lines shaved on each side of his head. He also has freckles along the bridge of his nose and a birthmark near his mouth on the right side. His eyes are gold, and he has permanent blush marks on both cheeks.

Genocide Jack's appearance is nearly identical to Toko's since they share the same body. However, some features differ: her irises expand and become red, and she gains (or possibly displays) an abnormally large tongue over a mouthful of sharp teeth. She also tends to make wild, exaggerated expressions. Her forehead is a lot more reddish. According to Jack's reference art, she has a container for her scissors attached to her right thigh. On her left leg, she carves a tally of the number of her victims, approximately 37.
In Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls , her appearance differs from Toko with Genocide Jack's hair being more messy, and the red eyes and long tongue. She also wears purple thigh-high socks and darker high-heeled Mary Janes .

Genocide Jack's Character Design in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Genocide Jack's Character Design in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Despite being a bloodthirsty and potentially very dangerous serial killer, Genocide Jack is mostly portrayed as comic relief in the Danganronpa series. She laughs a lot and sometimes pretends to be serious only to reveal that she is just joking.
Unlike Toko, Genocide Jack is very loud and outgoing. During Chihiro Fujisaki 's murder trial she reveals everything about herself. She obsesses over Byakuya Togami , calling him "Master" in the English version. In the Japanese version, she uses honorifics such as “-sama” which indicates that she has a submissive side - as this honorific is used primarily in addressing people much higher in rank than oneself.
She is quite lewd at times, not hesitant to harass Aoi Asahina over her figure or make inappropriate remarks to other characters. Jack is a self-proclaimed fujoshi and says that she only kills cute boys who 'turn her on'. She also seems to like yuri , though she says that she's not into girls. She has also been portrayed with both sadistic and masochistic traits.
She has a habit of giving excessively goofy nicknames to others; for example, she calls Makoto Naegi "Big Mac", "Mahkyutie" and "Macoco Chanel." and calling the late Chihiro "Cherry", Kiyotaka "Tick Tock" and Hifumi "Huffy".
It is revealed in the final chapter of the first game that although Toko had her memories stolen, Jack still remembers because the two alters share the same knowledge, but have separate memories. When shown the images of the outside world, Jack identifies it as the aftermath of “ The Tragedy ”. Furthermore, it's revealed in Chapter 4 of Danganronpa Another Episode that she shares the same emotions and feelings with her alter and thus their relationships with their peers are shared between them.
Jack occasionally has a much more serious side in Danganronpa Another Episode . According to the limited artbook, "her attitude can switch between serious and crazy in an instant." She quickly nicknames Komaru "Dekomaru" and enjoys messing with her playfully, but doesn't seem to have any actual interest in her. In fact, at first, she is annoyed with Komaru's trust towards a serial killer such as herself and has no interest in friendship, being angered by the mere suggestion. However, she eventually develops a softer side for Komaru and considers her a friend, being willing to protect her, listen to her and consider her opinions. She is also seen to have a respectful side for her alter, as she feels she has no right to accept Komaru's apology on Toko's behalf.
The friendship with Komaru has had a positive effect on both Jack and Toko. By the end of Danganronpa Another Episode and Danganronpa 3 , it's implied that Jack has calmed down and doesn't kill handsome men anymore, only using her skills for good and to fight against enemies. During Chapter 4 of Danganronpa Another Episode , there is also a moment in which Toko is uniquely aware of what is happening even though Jack currently had the control, which may imply that the alters have slightly begun to integrate.


DanganRonpa

Gonta is a very tall and muscular teenager with tanned skin. He has a noticeably angular face and very long, unkempt green hair, with noticeable prominent curls at the top of his head that resemble ahoges. He has red eyes and wears round glasses.
Gonta wears a brown school blazer and matching brown pants, a dark, lime-green tie, and is barefoot. He carries a bug box strapped over his shoulder which rests at his hip. The strap is a light green, nearly matching his ties color. He has a silver button on the lapel of his blazer, showing the insignia of his previous high school, and gold cufflinks.
As his appearance suggests, Gonta has incredible, superhuman strength, but he is gentle and kind, and says he would never hurt even a bug. His stoic face is especially fierce, brows knitted and frown apparent, supposedly due to his upbringing in the wild.
In the prologue, he wears the uniform of his original high school. His gakuran 's color is uncommon persimmon indigo (dark slate blue), which makes him look noble. He also wears brown loafers and light brown soles, which is something he normally doesn't like to do. He awkwardly fitted his well-trained body into the uniform, but his intimidating stature overwhelms anyone who meets him.

Gonta likes animals very much, especially insects, and he can even speak with them. He is a kind-hearted, gentle, and polite person. He is very pure and naive, as he easily believes strangers and can get easily discouraged by other people's comments. When he is accused of being the culprit, he answers with complete honesty even if it makes him look much more suspicious. He also does not seem to understand sexual matters very well, as after seeing half-naked Miu he states he got a "weird feeling", and he assumes being "horny" means something like having horns on your head. Even his uncharacteristic "keep you up all night" line during the Love Suite scene appears to be a case of misinformation. He himself acknowledges and often points out that he is dumb, which is one of the reasons why he listens to other people so much. Naturally, he strongly dislikes killing and cruelty, which can rather easily make him cry. However, despite his gentle nature, he can turn very angry if he sees or hears someone hating on insects, and he believes bug lovers can't be bad. Due to his strong love for bugs, he is often seen searching and yelling for them to come out, claiming that he wants to talk with them.
In order to repay his woodland family, he aims to become a true gentleman. Gonta wants to be useful to others, but he prefers not to do physical fighting and violence. He also gets very ashamed of himself if he does something a gentleman wouldn't do, like telling lies, losing his temper, making rude assumptions, seeing someone naked or half-naked, or accidentally touching someone inappropriately. It's noted that he isn't very gentlemanly yet, as he's a bit clumsy and sometimes gets controlled by sudden and strong emotions (which is implied to be a result of being raised in the wild), but he tries very hard. He occasionally gets very scary with intense expressions, especially when talking about bugs or if he is otherwise upset or frustrated, making other people afraid. He sometimes does not seem to notice that he is unintentionally scaring others, while during some other moments he can be very perceptive of others' feelings. He sometimes fears he might never become a gentleman and he can be very hard on himself. He doesn't seem to acknowledge many of his past or current accomplishments, thinking they're just some things all gentlemen would have done.
Because he spent his childhood in the forest, Gonta is lacking general cultural knowledge and in the English version even has trouble with language, and so he often has trouble speaking with the other students. This is made worse by his intimidating appearance, which made him somewhat of an outcast even when he was a very young kid. Because of this, he doesn't like to start conversations, and he is shown to be very grateful whenever someone else approaches him, saying "thank you" as in "thank you for talking to me". He also has notable difficulties with understanding the virtual world and computers, so much in fact that the other students often don't even try to explain it to him, though he does seem to understand television and movies. Due to his background, he prefers being barefoot over wearing shoes. He also prefers sleeping naked for the same reason—however, after Kaede points out it isn't very gentlemanly, he supposedly tries to change this habit.
He is very protective towards his friends during the Killing Game, promising to protect them from any harm caused by the Killing Game. He states that in order to fulfill that goal, he will go as far as to risk his own life. Whenever he failed to fulfill this promise, he would cry and regret that he couldn't save his classmate. Notable events are when he tried to prevent Kaede from being dragged into her execution and he tried to be a substitute for the executed one, Kirumi. Because he couldn't use his strength against the Exisals and wasn't smart, he felt horrible because he couldn't be useful.
Gonta seemingly wishes to have a motherly figure to take care of him, possibly because he was separated from his own mother for many years during his childhood. When Kokichi asks Kirumi to be his mom, Gonta innocently but seriously asks the same, and he later imagines Atua as a gentle grandmother type.
In Chapter 4, while being an avatar in the Neo World Program created by Miu, Gonta's idea of protecting his friends changes after he learns the horrifying truth of the outside world. Agreeing with Kokichi that mercy killing the others while they were not aware of the horrible situation would be the best option, he obeys Kokichi's order to protect him from Miu who was planning to kill him. After he returned to the real world, he did not receive the avatar's memories, and was guilt-ridden when he found out what had happened. He is deeply sorry for his actions and believes he can never become a gentleman after what he has done, considering himself "bad". With how kind he is, the other students had a very hard time believing he was the killer, with Shuichi even suggesting that the avatar error may have changed his personality somehow. However, he takes the full responsibility for his actions, stating that he was not tricked by Kokichi and the choice was ultimately his own. Despite everything, Gonta once again shows how good his heart is, as he is willing to forgive Kokichi and tells the others not to blame him. He claims that he does not fear death, and that his biggest regret is that he couldn't protect everyone. In his final scene, he bid his friends a farewell and said he loves them all before his execution.
It should be noted that while he is not very smart, he is not as unintelligent as he believes himself to be, and has a very vast knowledge on animals and insects. He also has extraordinary knowledge of ropes and climbing, due to using them for searching bugs. Furthermore, he occasionally points out things, such as being the first one to point out that Kokichi was acting very much like Monokuma during the fourth trial and later confronting Kokichi by asking if he's pretending not to know relevant information.

Great Gozu is an adult male standing at 210 cm making him one of the tallest character in the entire franchise, second only to Daisaku Bandai and weighs around (140 kg) 308 lbs with a large muscular build. He has tanned skin, a brown ponytail, and a long goatee. As he's never seen without his mask, it is unknown what color his eyes are.

He wears a black suit with a Future Foundation logo pin on its lapel, a white long-sleeved dress shirt, a blue tie, white socks, black loafers, and his iconic leather mask in the shape of a stylized bull with red eyes that can glow.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Great Gozu has a gentle nature and a quiet, polite way of speaking though he does use curse words. When in arguments, he is very patient and rarely raises his voice, only doing so to dramatically, if comically, proclamation of his own name, his values, and what he is willing to do for them.
Great Gozu has a staunch loyalty and respect to anyone he considers his comrades, including the members of the Future Foundation and Kazuo Tengan as their leader. The extends to even Makoto Naegi as he willingly protects him from the fellow members of the Future Foundation due Great Gozu's unwavering admiration in Makoto and his hope. He claims that Makoto's hope is what the Foundation needs. After Chisa Yukizome 's corpse is recovered, he covers her face with his own suit jacket as a sign of respect.
He is very honorable, and considers situations such as persecution without a fair trial as dishonorable. He dislikes needless violence, even weapons in general [2] though he is willing to use them if needed, as seen when he fights Kyosuke with a makeshift weapon out of a pipe. He refuses to kill or even accept killing as a means to solve problems, and attempts to prevent it when he can. He's gone as far as putting himself in harm's way to stop Juzo Sakakura from assaulting Makoto by snapping Juzo's knife with his grip, cutting his palm in the process.

Gundham wears a long, black jacket that stops below his knees that is always left open, with a dark red coloring on the inside; according to his reference sheet, it is part of his school uniform. The left sleeve is rolled up to the elbow and fastened to the jacket with silver pins. Gundham is also known for his long purple scarf, which wraps around his neck and covers his chin. Vertical (presumably occult) symbols are emblazoned on the back of his jacket and the ends of his scarf. Underneath his jacket, Gundham wears a white button-up layered over a slightly darker shirt with a grey-purple cross design on the chest. His black pants are tucked into black boots riddled with straps.
Finishing Gundham's Free Time Events yields the item ' Gundham's Undergarments ' which are invisible to those who have too low of an "astral level". This hints that Gundham possibly doesn't wear them.
Gundham's skin tone is noticeably pale and grey, suggesting that he doesn't get outside much. He wears an undercut, and the top section of his hair is slicked back into a single curl. His hair looks more wild and jagged when he's enraged. His hair color is black with light grey streaks through it. This may be the result of either dyeing his hair or a melanin deficiency known as poliosis , giving him several 'Mallen streaks.'
Gundham has no eyebrows, which is confirmed in the limited edition's art book. [5] He has grey eyes but he wears a red contact lens in his right eye. The grey scar that runs through his left eye onto his right cheek appears to be a tattoo. His left arm, which he calls the "cursed arm," is bandaged up to the elbow, presumably from injuries he received while taking care of his animals. Gundham's Hell Hound Earring ( Devil Dog Earring in the Japanese release) hangs from his right ear, and he wears silver rings on the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
During his high school years at Hope's Peak Academy , Gundham wears the traditional Hope's Peak Academy's uniform. He accessorized the uniform with the same scarf, shirt, belt and boots he wears in SDR2. Instead of just the Hell Hound Earring, he wears an earring in each ear. He still wears an undercut, but the longest pieces of the top section frame his forehead. Additionally, he calls himself "Tanaka the Forbidden One."
He is always seen with his hamsters, the Four Dark Devas of Destruction: San-D (orange and white), Jum-P (grey and white), Maga-Z (tan fur with peach underbelly, chipped ear), and Cham-P (fat, orange). The Devas often camp out inside the scarf that Gundham always wraps around his neck, but they frequently appear during conversations or at his command.
As a member of Ultimate Despair, Gundham appears to wear a type of straitjacket underneath a large jacket with a fluffy white collar. His face has more tattoos, including a scar-like tattoo on his right cheek and an obscure symbol on his forehead. Using his talents as the Ultimate Breeder, Gundham controls armies of beasts. He seems to always keep his eyes closed. Instead of carrying the Devas, a large, dark snake wraps around his body.

Gundham has an eccentric and somewhat dark personality, his delusions of self-grandeur likely stemming from an inferiority complex and chuunibyou syndrome . He claims that he was gifted with evil powers of the underworld, the result of "an angel and a devil" joining together. Gundham refers to other people as "pathetic human beings" and states that even the gods fear his abilities. He often rambles about his status as "The Supreme Overlord of Ice" and his interest in the dark arts, alchemy, and astral levels. Preferring to be alone, he prioritizes himself and taking care of the Devas over connecting with his classmates. For instance, in Chapter 1 of Goodbye Despair, he failed to help investigate the murder of his classmate after he lost the Hell Hound Earring and obsessed over recovering it. As a result, he initially comes off as self-centered and aloof.
Despite making a poor first impression, Gundham offers comic relief in what he says to Danganronpa players and other characters. His outlandish responses and dramatic voice acting are reminiscent of a cartoon super villain. He sometimes goes as far as to compliment other characters if they say a "nice line," which teases at breaking the fourth wall. Gundham is notably contradictory—during his introduction, he tells Hajime Hinata to step forward and introduce himself, for Gundham will destroy Hajime once he does. It is heavily implied that though Gundham appears prideful and shuns spending time with mere mortals, he may actually feel lonely. He tends to cover up how he feels alienated from others; for instance, he claimed that he was "searching for solitude" before slowly wandering off.
Gundham's harsh facade conceals a softer, more sensitive side. Sonia's compliments cause him to blush and hide the bottom half of his face in his scarf; he even stammers a little. However, it's hinted that Gundham has serious problems with socializing and physical contact. He has been strict about not wanting to touch nor be touched by others since childhood, going as far as to avoid sports and playing with other children. In his typical manner, Gundham claims that his flesh is "poisoned" to disguise his fear of intimacy. He tells Hajime that he can only be touched by very specific persons with astral levels that match his own. Throughout the game, he improves a little with handling both social and physical contact.
Though he may be awkward around other people, Gundham deeply cares about animals (despite how he refers to them as his evil minions to stay in line with his overlord persona). He claims that anything that can talk "will eventually betray you," suggesting that he has been hurt by others in the past and prefers to trust animals for their loyalty and sincere nature. Gundham demands that animals are treated with respect. He uses his talents to educate people who don't know how to properly take care of animals - during his Free Time Events, Gundham tells Hajime that he maintains an informational website about breeding. He also says that he pities livestock for being raised for the sole purpose of human consumption. This may mean that Gundham is a vegetarian or vegan; on the other hand, his words may imply that he is only against eating animals defiled by human involvement. He takes great offense to people interfering with animals' natural instincts and autonomy. In Island Mode, Gundham reveals that he even hates anthropomorphic cartoons of animals, likely because their human-like behavior insults the dignity of the animals they are based on.
Gundham has great respect for the nature and its laws. He understands that nature is indiscriminate in its harsh cruelty, and he does not fear death. At the same time, he strongly dislikes mankind's malicious ways. Notably, Gundham hates the idea of giving up without a fight, for he believes that all creatures are born to fight tooth and nail to survive. According to him, giving up your life willingly is blasphemous toward nature (and by extension, oneself). When his class is starving and trapped in Strawberry House, Gundham challenges Mechamaru to a duel to revive everyone's will to survive. Gundham ends up killing Mechamaru. When he is exposed as the murderer, Gundham is quicker than past perpetrators to give up his defenses and accept his fate. He justifies his actions by explaining that fighting for survival, sometimes even killing another person, is simply the natural order of things. He also points out that Mechamaru could have run away or called for help, but instead chose to stand his ground and fight. However, when Nagito tries to take over on summarizing the entire case; saying that he pressed Mechamaru's goodnight button without fighting him, Gundham is absolutely furious at his accusation, hinting that Gundham gets very livid at those making assumptions of him doing the very opposite of what he would intentionally do.
While he claims he killed Mechamaru from his innate will to survive, it's implied that Gundham felt conflicted about sacrificing his friends. His parting words suggest he was partially motivated to complete the murder in order to save his class from succumbing to hunger (though he vehemently denies this, as it isn't befitting of a dark overlord). His rousing speech about not giving up on life in the face of despair is a good tell. Regardless, he accepted that he might get away with murder and let everyone die, according to his own ideology about the cycle of life (though this would have likely caused him guilt). Gundham is quick to accept his punishment with dignity, reassuring the others that he was merely a "temporary visitor" in this world. During his Punishment, Gundham sets the Devas aside to save them. Despite talking about going to Hell, his execution closes with winged animals flying him to heaven, confirming that his true nature is good.
Interestingly, there are moments in which Gundham shows he has a deeper understanding of certain situations and isn't lost in his own world. For example, Gundham is the only one who openly acknowledges Nagito's grey morality (despite strongly disliking him). Gundham also states that murder is murder regardless of motive.
There isn't much information about his brainwashed personality as a member of the Ultimate Despair, but this version of Gundham seems to use his talents to control armies of wild animals, like elephants and tigers. His straitjacket and tendency to keep his eyes closed may reflect a state of spiritual confinement, self-loathing, and pain.

Haiji has long, disheveled black hair and lavender eyes. He wears a buttoned-up shirt adorned with a detailed red rose pattern, a heavy black and red hooded jacket with beige fur trimming, and ripped black jeans. Haiji's right forearm and palm are completely covered with an orthopedic cast, presumably from injuries suffered during the battle against the Monokuma army.

Haiji is deliberate and calculating, although others might call him cowardly. He is very paranoid about the Resistance's hideout, not allowing anyone to leave the place. He claims he isn't hiding, but simply waiting for the right opportunity, although he later admits that he was just being a coward and states that he probably isn't a very good leader.
He is rather serious, the one time he tries to joke around being an awkward and tone-deaf joke about Nagisa's trauma a moment after the child's supposed death. It's also implied that he was an abusive older brother towards his half-sister. Due to his strong hatred of children, he does not care for their safety, believing that they will just cause more destruction if left alive.
While he has a strong hatred of children, he is also a self-proclaimed lolicon who prefers young, quiet girls to loud, older girls. He mentions that he prefers girls to be as young as possible and in the art book it's implied that he would find Kotoko Utsugi sexually attractive if her personality was better. He seems to try to use this fact to prove to Komaru and Toko that he wouldn't do anything to them, as they're a bit too old for him.
He has a strong grudge against the Warriors of Hope, particularly their leader, Monaca Towa , for causing the chaos in the city. He also strongly dislikes the Future Foundation and anything associated with it. He does appear to be somewhat regretful of the Towa Group's unethical actions in the wake of the Tragedy , but mostly because of the problems they caused to himself and his father. Both he and his father seem to mostly blame Monaca and Junko instead of taking responsibility for their actions.
As the story progresses, Haiji becomes increasingly fanatical and obsessed with defeating the Warriors of Hope, no matter the cost. He puts all of his faith in the Big Bang Monokuma , hoping that he can turn the tide of the war in his favor. He turns increasingly aggressive and even violent, wishing to kill the children even if they were brainwashed. He also physically attacks Toko and is willing to hurt her more, though he gets stopped.
In the end, he seems to break mentally and becomes apathetic, emotionlessly stating that he does not care about hope nor despair anymore.
