Monotaro's appearance is similar to that of his father, Monokuma, but the part that is black on Monokuma is red on him. Likewise, his left eye is black, contrasting Monokuma's. Occasionally, a small red glow appears on the eye. He also has bright pink cheeks.
He also possesses a long grey scarf with a silver star pinned to it and a yellow pacifier.
He owns multiple throwing stars of different shapes.

Monotaro is the leader figure of the Monokubs, a group of child-like robots. As a leader, he tries to unite the group members' discordant voices into one. However, being a scatterbrain, he gets sidetracked a lot and often struggles to keep his rambunctious siblings focused on the task at hand. He is also mentioned to have a clumsy side, giving him a childlike charm [2] and he often acts the most child-like and "pure" out of the siblings. Despite not being a very competent leader nor the smartest, his siblings consider him a reliable figure.
Compared to Monokid and Monosuke, Monotaro is relatively mild-mannered and less openly hostile towards the students, though like all the Kubs he calls the students "you bastards" seemingly as an attempt to imitate his father. He also seems considerate of Monophanie and overall appreciates all the members of the group. Nevertheless, he is evil, just like all the siblings. He occasionally bullies his siblings and fights with them, just like all the Monokubs do. When his father supposedly died, he grieved and cried, but also disturbingly suggested that they should cook his remains. However, when his siblings get executed, he does get quite shocked and occasionally even pukes just like Monophanie.
While Monotaro has always been a bit forgetful, his memory issues become notable in Chapter 3 and turn even worse in Chapter 4. He forgets who Monophanie is and forgets even who he is, being unable to do his usual job without Monophanie's guidance. He is often confused about where he is and what is happening. Because of this, he makes amusing assumptions, like K1-B0 and Miu being his parents. He also begins to think that Monophanie is his wife and acts very romantic towards her. However, because of his memory issues, he is also seen to act abusive and aggressive towards her.
After Miu was murdered, Monotaro mourned her death deeply and even became an ally for the other students in order to avenge her death. After he regained his memories thanks to Monophanie, he once again turned evil and remembered he was on his father's side, which made some of the students sad because they had begun to consider him their friend.
Monotaro seems to become much more aggressive after he is revived, as he is the one leading the fight against K1-B0 to prevent the destruction of the Academy. He mentions that he must destroy rule breakers, because they make his father angry and he does not like it when he is angry, indicating that he is motivated by his fear of Monokuma. When his father threatens to blow him up if he and his siblings don't make good arguments, Monotaro and Monophanie eventually end up as the last ones left and they are scared and cry, not knowing what else to do, and beg Shuichi to let them win so they could live. Nevertheless, they both end up destroyed.

Motherkuma appears as a giant Monokuma head in a large glass jar with countless wires going into it. The only difference is that the white half of the face is instead exposed, allowing one to see all the components within the robot. The left eye is also a circular blue disk instead of the traditional normal black eye.
Due to Motherkuma's overall function and design, it is confined to and cannot leave the hidden room in the library.

Motherkuma has the same overall personality as ordinary Monokumas, as it mentions that Monokumas have its copied thoughts and it technically gives birth to itself. When the students met it for the first time, it tried to come off as very threatening at first and gave the impression that it was an extremely important final boss, but it was soon revealed to be rather harmless and a bit comical.
Fitting its name, Motherkuma seemingly acts quite motherly towards the Monokumas it gives birth to. It mentions that it wishes to give birth to lots of Monokumas, but only into a safe environment where they are accepted. When the students try to order it to give birth to a new Monokuma to prove its claims, it refuses and acts offended, acting like a woman who doesn't want a child with an irresponsible person they don't like. It later explains that it gives birth only when hearing the Mastermind's voice, to ensure that the Monokumas are born into a welcoming environment.
It is rather talkative and willing to give the students hints because it believes the killing game is eternal and simply cannot be stopped.

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc , Mukuro appears to be a high school-aged teenager, though, like the rest of her classmates, she is two years older than they believed.

Mukuro stands at a height of 169 cm, the same height as her sister, Junko. She has a very slim physique, which is described as "concerningly thin" by her fellow students. Her physique was also described as "athletic" by observations made by some fellow peers, although said athleticism is not visually depicted in her artwork or sprites. Her complexion features fair skin with freckles adorning the bridge of her nose, and her distinctive purple-grey eyes are captivating. Mukuro's short black hair is fashioned into a stylish bob.
Being fraternal twins, Mukuro and her younger sister Junko Enoshima resemble each other closely, but have noticeable differences such as Mukuro's bust size being smaller and her eye color being purple-grey as opposed to Junko's natural red eye color.
One notable feature on her otherwise unblemished body is a striking black wolf tattoo, located on the top of her right hand, a lasting emblem from her time with the Fenrir Mercenary Group.
She typically wears a basic Hope's Peak Academy uniform consisting of a brown tie, white button-down blouse, brown pleated skirt, black stockings, and black shoes. Other minor alternations include light brown (also alternating with black gloves), a brown jacket, multiple colored ties (having a red, blue, or brown one, depending on the art), and a military vest.
In the Despair Arc when she first meets Junko, she temporarily wears a light sweater underneath a dark gray trenchcoat-like jacket, a dark magenta pencil-skirt, brown stockings and black boots.
Under her Junko disguise, Mukuro mimics her sister's fashion choices and hairstyle—a strawberry-blonde wig in pigtails—along with Junko's adorable white rabbit and a big red and white bow for hair clips—and, of course, contacts and makeup. She wears a white dress-shirt with a black cardigan (with white accessories referencing Junko’s Former High School ) on top with red buttons, with both left open to the third button to expose the top of a black-and-red bra. She wears a pleated red miniskirt cut extremely short, fake red nails, a loose white tie with black dots, and mid-sized black boots with platform heels and red laces. Her Fenrir tattoo is covered up to add on with her fake identity, likely with foundation make-up. It can possibly be assumed that Junko’s Danganronpa 3 main attire is the reference behind this disguise for Mukuro.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc design document Danganronpa Zero design document

Mukuro has a cold, serious expression and a reserved personality. She is completely indifferent towards other people unless it's her sister Junko. Unlike her sister, she doesn't take any sadistic pleasure in hurting or killing people, but at the same time, she shows little concern for other people's suffering, regarding them more as tools such as when she was surprised Junko made all of the brainwashed Reserve Course students commit suicide despite how useful they could have been. She is mentioned in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF to have never held much interest in the world outside of Junko before her time at Hope's Peak Academy, and is perhaps the only Ultimate Despair member who is not obsessed with either hope or despair.
Contrasting when in her Junko disguise, she maintains a more upbeat "valley-girl" style persona, such interjecting "like" and "totally" into her sentences and speaking in a more haughty demeanor. She's friendly, albeit pushy, and even claimed Makoto is an " omega male " due to his passive nature when she spent time with him. Her persona is mentioned to be based on a script Junko made for her, and while not a reflection of her true personality, it speaks to how Mukuro views her sister and thinks how she would act.
While she is able to fool her amnesiac classmates during the Mutual Killing Game, she slips up several times when she lets her guard down. For example when speaking to Makoto on a date in the garden during School Mode she mentioned missing her ghillie suit quickly correcting that it was an " Oscar the Grouch " suit instead. Other examples are one of her favorite presents being the "Ration" item, enjoying any and all kinds of food noting she's not picky when it comes to it, and mentions playing first-person shooter video games.
Mukuro is extremely loyal to and loves her younger twin sister Junko and follows her every order, no matter what it is or how Mukuro feels about it. This includes, but is not limited to, breaking and entering, kidnapping, committing murder, physical, assault, performing lobotomies and so on. She is also very protective of Junko, seen when she tried to attack Izuru when he stomped on Junko and voicing concerns if she feels her sister will come to harm. However, in turn Junko is cruelly abusive towards Mukuro, often physically, emotionally and mentally tormenting her in a variety of ways, such as insulting her looks and weight, hitting her with a bat, and taking advantage of her insecurities.
Due to the constant abuse, Mukuro developed a deeply and unhealthy sister complex. She turns ecstatic and feverish when thinking about or explaining Junko's relationship with her and despair, considering her own relationship with Junko special because she truly is the only one who understands her. She claims that is why Junko needs her, though she's pretending she hadn't realized it yet, believing Junko is "shy". When gushing about this to an amnesiac Ryoko Otonashi , Ryoko is deeply disturbed and concluded that Mukuro's feelings for her sister are definitely not normal. ( Danganronpa Zero )
She also finds pleasure in Junko's attempts to harm and kill her, believing that her sister will experience tremendous despair if she succeeds, and to Mukuro, that means she loves her in turn. ( Despair Arc )
Despite her dedication to her sister, Mukuro expressed some hesitancy towards their end goal. In her final Free Time Event with Makoto, she vaguely alluded to concerns of maintaining the "same dream" her entire life since childhood. She wondered out loud to Makoto about changing her dream or even finding one of her own. Ultimately, this doesn't stop her from moving forward with Junko's plans and her subsequent execution.
As shown in the non-canon Danganronpa IF novel and Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp alternate universe, Mukuro is capable of befriending and becoming attached to her classmates. However, in both instances she still cares deeply for Junko even as her bonds with her other classmates deepen. When she talks to Monokuma in her "My Future..." event she claims she'd be extremely distraught if ordered to kill them, and would still do so, but she questions and eventually decides that if she were to bring true despair to her sister as Junko wanted to experience, she would ruin her plans and go against her orders.
In Danganronpa IF , Junko mentions that Mukuro developed romantic feelings for Makoto during their two years as classmates (and the narration further states that Mukuro had considered asking Junko to exempt him from the Killing Game before her failed execution) but could not bring herself to act on them. After Makoto saves her life those feelings, combined with her growing doubts over betraying her classmates and Junko's decision to cut all ties with her making her realize that she had never understood her sister at all, helped her find the determination to seek out a new dream. She is genuinely shocked to hear that her classmates are willing to forgive her for role in The Tragedy and still see her as their friend despite knowing that she was responsible in part for the Killing School Life, as she was certain that they would all despise her for what she did to them. While Mukuro still wishes to make Junko happy, she realizes that the only way she can give Junko the despair she craves is to make amends for her past actions, save her classmates, and put an end to Junko's plans. She also expresses regret for her previous crimes, accepting that when the students leave for the outside world she will be hunted down by Ultimate Despair as a traitor and reviled as a criminal by everyone else but resolving to live on and protect the hope that Makoto gave her until Ultimate Despair is stopped for good.

Nagisa is an elementary school-aged boy. He has short blue hair with cowlicks that are in the shape of cat ears. His eyes are a lighter blue and have diamonds representing the irises.
He wears a light grey plaid jacket over a blue shirt, and shorts that match the jacket. He also wears a brown-orange scarf and a bowtie underneath it. The scarf has the silver Warriors of Hope badge keeping it pinned to his jacket.
He also wears blue socks adorned with the emblem of the "Sage" class.

Nagisa is the most serious member of the Warriors. He is calm, intelligent and level-headed. Because of this, he considers himself the babysitter of the other Warriors, often acting as the voice of reason and calming the others down when needed. He has an aversion to things he considers childish and, though he refers to himself as a child, doesn't like to be underestimated on the basis of age.
He is a perfectionist and suffers from a fear of abandonment as a result of his traumatic childhood. His prime goal in life has always been to exceed the expectations of the people around him in order to prove worth to both his parents and himself. As a result, placing any sort of expectations on him is somewhat of a "trigger". It propels him to try his best to exceed those expectations set for him, even at the expense of his own well-being and overall health.
He is loyal, humble, compassionate and protective of his friends and fellow children. Despite the cruel nature of his abusive home life, he often downplays it as "not as bad" as that of his fellow Warriors, putting more emphasis on their struggles than his own. He states that he cares about them "more than anybody", and is determined to create Paradise to ensure that no one has to endure the pain any longer.
In his memoir, it's revealed that Nagisa felt a lot of guilt in what he and the other Warriors were doing. He knew on a moral level it was wrong, but it had to be done. He also felt guilt over killing his parents. Despite his treatment, he still feels that he is in debt to his parents for raising him. He hates it, but he can't stop feeling that he still owes them affection and respect.
He has a crush on Monaca and repeatedly loses his composure when Monaca does simple things such as compliment him, which she does intentionally to manipulate him. The other Warriors of Hope have at times accused him of being like an adult, like when he became embarrassed and defensive about his feelings when the others teased him and Monaca tried to make him admit that he likes her, with Monaca pointing out that the embarrassment and hesitancy is adult-like in comparison to the sincerity children have. The erotic magazine in his room further shows that he has some curiosity about adult things whether he admits it or not.
Regardless of how wise Nagisa is among the Warriors, the creators have mentioned that he is actually the most child-like with his personality. This may refer to how easily he was manipulated by Monaca , and how he was so blinded by his affection that he ignored her negative traits and believed she was truly a sweet girl until she revealed her true character. Even after learning the truth, he still can't help but feel some care for her, as shown in Danganronpa 3 .

Nagito is a tall, skinny young man with notably wide shoulders, sickly pale skin and light gray-green eyes with thick eyelashes. His hair is shoulder-length and naturally wavy, of an unnaturally pale pinkish off-white color that fades to white the closer to his scalp, and is described as looking like it "doesn't belong to a living person" [5] . In Danganronpa 2 , his hair has a slightly warmer, cream tone to it, but in Danganronpa 3 his hair appears silvery-white with grey tones. By the events of Danganronpa Another Episode, which is several years later, his hair is longer, messier, and darker (presumably with dirt).
Nagito wears a thin, knee-length dark green zipper coat with a jagged-cut tail, which he leaves unzipped. It has a red square pattern across the right shoulder, and a large, square-shaped '55' on the back, as well as two red drawstrings, threaded through the hood, hanging down on either side of his chest. Underneath, he wears a white scoop-neck T-shirt with a red design on the front, somewhat resembling two interlocking hooks. He wears plain black jeans, and a wallet chain with a skull charm, and pale brown shoes, each fastened by two zippers.
While attending Hope's Peak Academy, he wears the school's uniform: a brown blazer and matching pants, a red tie and dark brown lace-up shoes. The top few buttons of his shirt he leaves undone, and over it he wears a sleeveless green sweater with a red v-neck collar, a wide, horizontal stripe across the middle of it.
In Danganronpa Another Episode , as the Servant and Ultimate Despair, he wears a cropped black jacket, with three white buttons on the right and one red button on the left. Underneath, he wears a dark-red and olive-green scoop-neck shirt, with long sleeves that are folded over the cuffs of the jacket, and under this is a long beige undershirt. He wears black jeans with black low heeled shoes, tied with red shoelaces. He has a striped mitten on his left hand, to hide Junko's hand with long, red nails, sewn in place of his real hand. He also has a collar around his neck, given to him by the Warriors of Hope , with a chain hanging down the front, all the way down to his knees. The Servant is described to be constantly smiling, no matter what treatment he receives, and he is also said to have "a rather attractive face", and Genocide Jack even calls him "a pretty boy". His skinny build is also mentioned when she calls him "a skinny white-haired guy".
After waking from a coma on Jabberwock Island and having his brainwashing is undone, he replaced his non-functional left hand from Junko's corpse with a robotic forearm and hand. The prosthetic is white on the outer side and black on the underside. The palm is black, the backs of his fingers are white, and his thumb is white as well. The sleeve of his coat has been ripped where the new arm is, most of the jagged material still attached. The arm makes a rather loud mechanical sound whenever he moves it.

Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc Appearance

Nagito first comes off as a polite, friendly, and easygoing, yet somewhat insecure boy. Hajime Hinata even mentions that his bright smile is very comforting. He was the only one that stayed with Hajime while he was unconscious, and expressed concern for his well-being, even after Hajime told him to go away. Though friendly with everyone, he is mostly interested in spending time with Hajime and can be quite clingy, and as a result, Hajime considers him a little annoying and not the most reliable, but still thinks he's a kind person.
Nagito attempts to be the team's conflict mediator and a poster boy for optimism, often encouraging others to be hopeful and to cooperate, however, he isn't taken very seriously. Hiyoko Saionji makes fun of him and considers his dramatic pep talks about hope and friendship embarrassing and tiresome. He is generally quite submissive and has a self-deprecating attitude, even agreeing with Hiyoko and the others' snide remarks.
Although he claims to be a pessimist, Nagito often appears unusually carefree; he lacks tact and occasionally says awkward, strange, and unsettling things without realizing it. At times he can also be more forceful; he is quick to scold Hajime when he's being too pessimistic or when he thought he was bullying Mikan Tsumiki . He is also notably annoyed by Teruteru Hanamura 's treatment of girls and takes it upon himself to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't harass anyone.

Nagito Komaeda is a tall and skinny man around 17 years old. He has messy shoulder-length hair, light grey-green eyes, and sickly pale skin. His hair is described as resembling that of a corpse's, [1] lacking highlights (that normally suggest a healthy luster) and appearing whiter as it gets closer to the scalp. [2] He has mostly white hair, with some reddish/brown hair at the tips.
As a student, Nagito wears tan-colored dress pants, a red and green striped sweater vest, and a tan blazer over top.

Nagito Komaeda appears to be a polite and friendly young man, who is easygoing yet somewhat insecure. He seems to be able to get along well with others, as he is shown to have two very close friends in Kazuichi Soda and Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu . Nagito seems to be fairly optimistic as he believes that, because he constantly experiences bad luck, there is a finite amount of luck in the world and his bad luck is causing others to have good luck.
Nagito also has a somewhat deep hatred for talent, believing that it is because of talent that people are mistreated. Due to his deep hatred, he wishes that talent wouldn't exist. When he expresses his hatred, Nagito's personality can become drastically different and appears somewhat obsessed with explaining his hatred of talent to others.
Due to mental blocks, Nagito appears to have no memories of his real life and he has no awareness of the concepts of "hope" and "despair", only believing in "modest happiness" with no extremes. However, he can have flashbacks if he is reminded of real events.


DanganRonpa

Natsumi has long blonde hair and grayish-olive eyes similar to her brother. She also has permanent blush marks on both cheeks. Her appearance is similar to Kaede Akamatsu 's. She wore the Hope's Peak Academy uniform and also seems to be somewhat taller than her brother.

Natsumi had demonstrated extreme egotism and smugness upon her introduction to the rest of the Reserve Course students. In Twilight Syndrome Murder Case and according to Girl E , Natsumi was described as a mean and egotistical girl who would plant hatred towards someone she dislikes or envies. Natsumi is also said by her parents to be much more violent than her brother and more worthy of being the Yakuza heiress.
As described by Fuyuhiko, Natsumi was used to making a fool out of him everyday and always pissed him off, but Fuyuhiko always considered her as his cute sister. When she cooked fried noodles during the temple festival, a huge line would form outside the temple. She also got an insane number of contracts from hand towel companies. She was self-centered, selfish, and extremely arrogant. However, she had a subtle way of making people do what she wanted.
However, underneath all these traits, Natsumi was an insecure girl who did not want to be left behind by her brother, and was willing to strike up conversations with people that did not treat her harshly. While she could threaten people, it's implied she wasn't serious about it and as a yakuza, was simply used to talking that way. After Sato became protective of Mahiru and started to pester Natsumi about her intentions, she already appeared tired of the topic and wanted to be left alone.

He is a very tall, muscular man with black hair and brown eyes. He wears a white tank top under a black gakuran, as well as blue tracksuit pants and Getas . He has chains around his neck with a whistle hanging in the middle part and emits a blue electric aura from his eyes.
Nekomaru has two scars running from the top of his both eyes downwards in their own directions. He also has a towel tucked into the back of his pants. Like Peko Pekoyama , he has also been mistaken as a cosplayer due to his appearance.
During his time in Hope's Peak Academy, his appearance remains largely the same. However, he wears a full tracksuit with his shirt unzipped and both are royal blue with a white stripe running down the sides of his figure.

During his school years, he wore a set of white briefs. They were manufactured by a company named: "Military World".
His swimsuit in Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp consists of a pair of black swimsuit briefs with an electric blue aura pattern. He also keeps his chains and whistle.
As the Ultimate Despair, he wears a white outfit with golden patterns, notably with a long white jacket. His blue electric aura appears to have changed to red.

Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc Appearance

Nekomaru is a vigorous, boisterous, openhearted student who is passionate about supporting athletes, but suffers from dyspepsia . He frequently shouts when speaking, being a team manager. He is very optimistic and his willpower is immeasurable, but he isn't very smart and he's very bad at lying. He also really appears to enjoy fighting, often in the form of very serious training.
Nekomaru sees no shame in talking about certain things that could make others feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. For example, he never misses a chance to loudly proclaim when he needs to go to the restroom, irritating Mahiru Koizumi , and causing him to apologize. He also tends to get too close to other people's personal space, though he does this just to check their potential as athletes. Furthermore, as the self-proclaimed Ultimate Masseuse, he frequently offers his special massage to the others to the point that he forces them to receive his massage, as shown in his first and fifth Free Time Events with Hajime. He states that his massage is his own ultimate weapon that can relieve fatigue in an instant, but it also appears to be highly addictive to the receiver.
Though Nekomaru may appear scary and aggressive, he has a very kind heart. He cries quite easily and isn't afraid to show it. As a team manager, he can be quite strict, but he is very supportive and inspiring to his athletes and strives to improve them however he can. Teamwork and fighting spirit are very important to him.
In his fifth Free Time Events , he states that he will give everything he has to fully support everyone so they can escape the killing game together. True to his statement, he is the only one who willingly coached Akane by giving her a training routine and paid attention to food that she ate so she can stay fit and healthy. To prevent murders from continuing, he and Kazuichi Soda even tied Nagito Komaeda in the old lodge after he manipulated a murder to happen during the party in Chapter 1. He has a protective side to all of his classmates, Akane in particularーwithout thinking twice, he sacrificed himself to save the Ultimate Gymnast from her punishment in Chapter 3. During the surprisingly romantic moment, they share the effect of aphrodisiacs in Danganronpa 3 , Nekomaru acts more tender and bashful towards her than usual.


DanganRonpa

Peko is a tall, young woman with fair skin and a cool demeanor. She has long silver hair tied up into two braids on each side of her head, secured by white ribbons at the bases and dark red hair ties at the ends. She has side-swept bangs with two shoulder-length locks of hair that curl outwards, left down to frame her face. Her eyes are a vivid red, and she wears thin-framed rectangular glasses.
She wears a long sleeved, turquoise-black seifuku uniform with a dark, gray-teal sailor collar and sleeve cuffs, each striped with two thin white lines at the edges, a red ascot tied at her neck. A red strip of cloth is wrapped around her left upper arm. Below this, she wears a somewhat paler turquoise pleated skirt, striped with an even paler line at the hem. Her legwear consists of turquoise-black tights and cream-colored loafers.
Peko is constantly seen carrying her shinai (bamboo sword) around with her in a dark turquoise sheath/wrap with a thin white dragon design printed on the back. The shinai has a metal katana blade hidden at the center of its bamboo wrappings, which Peko likely uses when protecting and hunting people on Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu 's orders.

At one point in the game, Peko admits that her appearance has been mistaken for cosplay before, and strange cameramen have tried to take pictures of her. Nekomaru Nidai also experienced this and they were seen to talk about their 'striking' appearances.
During Chapter 2, Peko was briefly seen wearing a Sparkling Justice mask.
During her high school years, she wore the standard Hope's Peak Academy uniform, excluding the blazer. Her hair ribbons were longer and black, along with her hair ties. She wore translucent black tights and plain white loafers.
As the Ultimate Despair, she wore strips of cloth wrapped over her chest, a one-button open white suit over it, with long formal pants of the same color with a buckled belt. Her footwear consisted of red heeled shoes. Her hair was styled differently, left down to flow to her waist, with a single ponytail tied at the right of her head. She was also equipped with a standard metal katana rather than her shinai, presumably due to no longer needing to hide her true lethality as a student of Hope's Peak.
Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc Appearance

Peko has a serious demeanor, expressing very little emotion. Due to this aura, she often comes off as intimidating. She is neither impolite nor an antisocial person though she dislikes being in a crowd. She had no qualms about attending the party in chapter one, and furthermore apologizes for what she felt was a failing on her part due to her believing the power went out because she was not guarding the room it was in. She comes off as cold but this isn’t because she means to. As she revealed in her Free Time Events , she believed that she didn’t need to smile and therefore eventually forgot how to, and wanted to learn how to make her childhood friend (who is heavily implied to be Fuyuhiko, though it is well within the realm of possibility that it is someone else) happy. However, in her last Free Time Event it is revealed that she does in fact still know how to smile, and simply is incapable of smiling on command.
Due to being raised as a “tool” for the Kuzuryu clan, she believes herself to be less than human and that her sole purpose is to carry out Fuyuhiko’s wishes. She recognizes Fuyuhiko's hate of relying on his family’s power, and concludes that he hates her for being the personification of that reliance. This further fuels her desire to be useful to him, and to try to make him happy. She murdered Mahiru to protect Fuyuhiko from the consequences of carrying out the murder himself.
Peko has a kind heart, and cares deeply about Fuyuhiko but also cares about her fellow classmates. She wishes nothing but good towards them, and is genuinely remorseful and saddened by taking Mahiru's life and betraying everyone, begging the class to “not cause a senseless killing like this ever again”. In spite of her social anxiety she is always polite and sweet natured, joining Akane and Nekomaru in threatening Monokuma when the game is first revealed and offering to protect the weapons box during the party. She splits open a coconut for Ibuki, Teruteru, Hajime and Kazuichi and says she's truly glad that others are enjoying themselves because of her. Beyond believing she is his tool, Peko’s deep desire to protect Fuyuhiko also comes from how much she cares about him. This soft side of her is shown in, for example, her love for animals, especially fluffy ones. However, most animals are scared of her, and run away. She sometimes loses track of time while doing martial arts, as in the first episode of the Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc.
She asked Hajime Hinata to teach her how to ask someone out on a date. Peko wanted to ask her childhood friend to go on a date after they succeeded in escaping from Jabberwock Island . She finally learned that, “Smiling is not something you have to force. When your heart gets warm, smiles come to you naturally.”


DanganRonpa

During her time teaching in Hope's Peak Academy, she wears a white shirt underneath a red jacket very similar to Aoi Asahina 's.

She takes pride as a gym teacher in the Academy, even though Koichi compliments her that she should pursue her career a soldier rather than becoming a teacher due to her skills in fighting.


DanganRonpa

Princess Piggles is a short, overweight magical girl with pink hair and blue eyes who resembles a cupid . She wears a two-piece pink outfit consisting of a lacy crop top, pink skirt, and pink boots all with a heart motif. She carries a bow and arrow with a heart-shaped tip, and has a set of small, white wings.


DanganRonpa

Rantaro is good-looking, and it is noted in the game that his looks resemble those of a stereotypical "playboy."
He has curly hair the color of green tea, which he keeps relatively short, a small patch at the base of his head completely shaved, with two short ahoges sprouting from the top of his head. He has a few longer clumps of hair hanging down in front of his left ear and between his eyes, and long bangs that cover the majority of his forehead, side-swept so as not to impair his vision. His eyes are green, and they slope downwards towards the sides of his face, both framed by notably long, thick eyelashes.
He wears a dark blue striped sweater with wide, elbow-length sleeves, a small chain accessory pinned on just beside his right shoulder. Underneath this, he wears a darker shirt that pokes out from below the hem of his sweater and from above its low-dip collar, still leaving his collarbone exposed, and another white garment that hangs out of the bottom. He also wears baggy, light-brown sarouel pants, and navy-blue slip-on shoes with white soles. On his sweater there's the crest of his former high school, Hope's Pass High School , as well as a larger symbol, a ship's steering wheel, which also bears some resemblance to the setting sun, which covers most of the lower half of his sweater, centered to the left. [4]
Rantaro wears a necklace with a rectangular crystal pendulum hanging at the end of it, a silver bracelet on his right wrist and a different, larger, dark brown bracelet on his left that wraps around his wrist several times. He has multiple silver rings: one on his left index finger, one on his right thumb, and one on his right index finger, and on his right middle finger he wears one longer and darker ring. His right ear has five ringed cartilage piercings, and he wears a small beaded earring in the lobe of each ear. His official design sketches show him with a silver piercing on his right eyebrow, however this is not included in any of his game sprites.
In the prologue, he wears the uniform of his original high school: indigo-colored pants with a brown cardigan and loafers. The top two buttons of his shirt are undone, and his red, gray and black, tri-colored tie sits loosely around his neck, his sleeves casually rolled up over his elbows. He wears none of his jewelry.

When he was first introduced, Rantaro seemed like a mysterious individual. Later it could be seen that he is a carefree and relaxed person. Despite his mysteriousness, he is described as one of the more ordinary students, with he himself stating that he can sometimes get a bit overwhelmed by the others' stranger personalities. Nevertheless, he is shown to have more patience than others with some eccentric students like Kokichi Oma and Miu Iruma , having a tendency to just laugh off some of the potentially hurtful things they say. Even though Rantaro cannot remember his talent, he doesn't seem worried about it. Instead, he simply says he looks forward to finding out what it is. He is usually seen smiling and describes himself as "not a suspicious guy,". He gives off a really calm and composed vibe, making him seem like a pretty reliable person. [5] His speech is characterized by being very friendly and colloquial, using the "～っす/-ssu" copula in his sentence (in the Japanese release only). Fan translations usually adapt this pattern by using teenage slang in his lines.
Despite his appearance and manner of speech, he has cold, excellent insight and is both determined and brave. He even has downright frightening expressions whenever he gets very serious. While the other students descend into confusion and chaos when Monokuma and the Monokuma Kubs state their objective, he is capable of coldly interrogating them about their motives. He also shows a deep understanding of the situation and often talks and acts like he knows something the others don't know, saying profound-sounding and enigmatic sentences, which often make him sound suspicious or even eerie. He is shown to be very competent in the Killing Game scenario, understanding that to truly win the game, you must end it instead of outwitting other participants. He warns Kaede about her inspirational speeches and strong cooperation with others, making her a significant threat in the eyes of the mastermind. During his Free Time Events with Kaede, she notices that he calmly observes other students and makes logical assumptions about them. He plans to end the Killing Game, telling the others not to intervene, but he ultimately fails because of Kaede's actions.
People (especially girls) occasionally assume that Rantaro is a womanizer. He is aware that he looks like a "playboy," but he always insists he isn't that kind of person and doesn't have a girlfriend, stating that he's just a chill, friendly guy. Apparently, he dislikes it when people assume he is a womanizer or the kind of person to quickly hook up with someone based on his looks, possibly because his father might be one. During the cutscene with him, Kaede, and Tsumugi in Chapter 1, the two girls talk about how his looks give the impression of a playboy. At the same time, he really isn't that kind of person at all. In the English version, Tsumugi also seems to assume that he might be gay, considering his insistence on not having a girlfriend and his somewhat stereotypical mannerisms. Since Kaede keeps assuming that his nail art skills are related to a possible girlfriend, he admits it's always been "for family, nothing romantic." Furthermore, he appears a bit awkward whenever other people flirt with him or assume that he is flirting with them, sweating slightly and putting his hand behind his head while smiling awkwardly. Kaede tends to assume he is flirting with her, but he always tells her it's nothing like that.
Rantaro also looks similarly awkward when he thinks Shuichi wants to ask him out in the bonus mode, Love Across the Universe , and he takes a moment to realize what Shuichi might mean by "taking their clothes off." He appears slightly uncomfortable but answers thoughtfully that he is flattered. Still, Shuichi can't ask him out of the blue like that, and while looking a bit offended and sighing with slight annoyance, he states he is not that kind of guy and that Shuichi would have better luck with someone else. If Shuichi suggests reading dirty books with Rantaro, he seems to find it quite amusing and advises him in a somewhat big-brotherly manner to do it in his private time, assuring him that he won't tell anyone. When Shuichi talks about not wanting to leave him alone during his Free Time Events, Rantaro is surprised and then blushes awkwardly and tells him he can't be serious and that he's not sure how to respond to a guy saying that. This, along with his Love Suite scene, which portrays his ideal relationship as one that mirrors his relationship with his younger siblings, seems to imply that he has little interest in romance and sex or, at the very least, does not consider it a big priority, and dislikes casual hook-ups.
Instead, due to of having multiple little sisters, he acts like a responsible big brother towards some of his classmates. He has great knowledge of concepts that are considered feminine because he used to help his younger sisters with certain things like schoolwork and nail art. However, Rantaro considers himself a terrible brother after an accident in the past, even calling himself the "Ultimate Useless Older Brother". The possibility of his sisters hating him and their safety in general appears to be his biggest concern, and even though he is seemingly a relaxed person, he is actually very stressed during the Killing Game, because he is very worried about his sisters and feels that he needs to get out fast in order to get back to them. He tends to smile constantly even if he's actually feeling bad on the inside, which is supposedly a habit he developed due to having so many younger siblings to take care of. Very few times, when he gets a feeling that his sisters might accept him, he can have a real smile and laugh. His biggest dream is to reunite his sisters and obtain their acceptance, and he is extremely dedicated to this dream, to the point that he once joked that he may have some sort of sister complex. In his Love Suite scene, his fantasy shows his ideal situation in which he wishes to stop being a teacher for his younger sibling because he claims it's too dangerous for them to be involved with him any longer, and he wishes to spare them from all the details, by which he's likely referring to the Killing Game. He even mentions himself dying, though he claims it's just a joke. However, his younger sibling wishes to support him despite the risk and convinces him to tell them about it, which makes Rantaro genuinely happy and feel peace. In the bonus mode, with Shuichi's support, he believes he'll become a real Ultimate Big Brother some day.
Rantaro is shown to be a bit unsure of himself. A lot of this anxiety is related to the stress caused by his sisters' situation. Still, he is also shown to be a bit insecure about his memory issues, assuming that others wouldn't trust someone like him and wondering if he can even trust himself. His unsure nature is also seen in the way he often laughs in a laid-back manner and states that he's just guessing after explaining some of his reasoning. Furthermore, he appears surprised whenever someone is really nice to him, as he blushes and states that it's such a sweet thing to do, clearly not assuming other people would treat him like that. Whenever he is in a bad mood, he tends to sigh in slight annoyance and won't hesitate to openly state out loud that he doesn't want to talk. It's also been shown that, despite his rather chill demeanor, he possesses a no-nonsense attitude towards very immature and childish behavior, at least when it comes from people his age. During Love Across the Universe, if Shuichi suggests childish activities such as shouting inside the library or playing with certain objects for no apparent reason, he often responds with slight annoyance and awkwardness, once even telling Shuichi to be an adult. He also feels a bit embarrassed to do things like baking or dancing with him.
Rantaro has had the nature of an adventurer since a young age, as he apparently had a tendency to go on small adventures all by himself. He has also stated that he likes to travel and has done plenty of times, having been to some reasonably dangerous areas and popular tourist destinations. He claims he admires travelers and loves to visit new places and meet new people, and would love to do that his whole life. However, he has stated that he dislikes using the term "traveler" himself, as it's a bit "too romantic" for him.
Shuichi inferred that Rantaro's character in the previous Killing Game was selfless. He joined another Killing Game and became the Ultimate Survivor because he chose to sacrifice himself for the other students. However, this contradicts the fact that he, through the footage that he left behind, said that he wanted to participate in and win the next Killing Game.

Ruruka has lilac eyes, short strawberry blonde hair, a petite stature, and a cheerful appearance. She wears a pink coat with puffy white fur trimming, yellow shorts, white thigh high socks and pink boots with multiple straps. She also wears a yellow hat with a small strawberry on top of it, on where she has pinned her Future Foundation ID. There is also a triangle pattern on the back of her hat.
During her time at Hope's Peak Academy, Ruruka wore the standard Academy uniform with fur trimming that looks similar to the fur on her coat that she wears in the Future Arc. The boots and socks she wore are also very similar to the ones she wears in the future. She also wore a pink hat and a green ribbon with strawberries on the ends.

Appearance in Danganronpa 3 (Future Arc)

Ruruka is a cunning young woman who is described to have a mean streak despite her cute appearance. She appears rather manipulative and is not above using her friends to achieve her goals. She can be extremely selfish as well, as during the Final Killing Game, she focuses only on keeping herself alive.
While she can appear easily annoyed and even mean towards others, Ruruka acts very sweet and intimate with her romantic partner Sonosuke, and she often feeds him her candy. Her candy can brainwash and manipulate people; thanks to this, Ruruka is a resourceful and skilled negotiator.
Despite being a high-ranking member of Future Foundation, she seems skeptical regarding its purpose, at one point stating that, "just like Hope's Peak Academy and Seiko Kimura ", it is rotten to the core. Furthermore, after she learned Seiko's NG Code, she requested her to murder the true leader of the Future Foundation, Kyosuke Munakata .
Ruruka has a strong hatred and fear of being betrayed, and she would rather betray others before they have any chance to do the same to her, including her own boyfriend. She knows it's wrong, but her fear of betrayal is too strong, and she is implied to have a fear of trust which is called pistanthrophobia. Ruruka's childhood friend, Seiko, "backstabbing" her in high school might have made this worse, but this doesn't appear to be the cause of it. She appeared to have some sort of trust issues much earlier as well, as she strongly disliked it when her close ones wouldn't eat her treats and took it very personally. She has stated that she won't trust anyone who doesn't eat her candy.


DanganRonpa

Ryoko is a teenage girl who is estimated to be the same age as Junko before The Tragedy .
She has dark red eyes, matching the color of her long, disheveled hair. She wears the standard school uniform of Hope's Peak Academy : a white blouse with a red ribbon, an unbuttoned dark grey cardigan with the logo of Hope's Peak Academy emblazoned on it, a short dark grey skirt, white knee-high socks with part of the Hope's Peak logo near the top edge, and brown loafers.

Ryoko is presented as a girl with a neurological disorder which causes her to lose her short and long term memories. Because of this, she writes everything down in a notebook, the 'Ryoko Otonashi Memory Notebook'. While she has lost her ability to form new memories, she still has her ability to remember and learn 'procedural memory' tasks such as writing and reading.
Ryoko is generally carefree, with a "natural cheerfulness". She has a rather eccentric way of thinking, which is not expressed to be related to her disorder. She is said to have a strange laugh. Because of her forgetfulness, she has trouble concentrating and may come across a bit dumb in other people's eyes. She may often appear uninterested and may fail to respond to situations properly.
Due to her memory loss, she feels that she is "uninvolved with the world" - at times she barely cares about anything that doesn't concern her or Yasuke, believing that things have nothing to do with her. This is shown most when she is in stressful situations and she constantly repeats, "This has nothing to do with me." Yasuke is the only person she remembers more clearly, though it's only about her feelings towards him instead of any events. This is why she thinks about him almost constantly. While he is rude towards her, she is grateful, because he doesn't treat her with fake sympathy. She isn't worried about her condition either, because she doesn't have anything to compare to due to her memory loss and she sees her forgetfulness as a part of who she is instead of a disadvantage. A sudden cure would be a bigger worry for her, because it would mean separation from Yasuke.
Ryoko can't actually remember her Super High School Level Talent, but in times of peril she shows near supernatural analytical skills. At the times, she also appears to revert back to her Junko Enoshima persona, though only for short amount of time. Sometimes, Ryoko can hear Junko's voice and remember things about her, but she doesn't understand the connection between the two of them.
Despite being an amnesiac version of Junko, Ryoko has no hunger for despair and she is disturbed by killing and violence.

Ryoma is the shortest human character in the Danganronpa series . Contrary to his soft appearance, he has a very deep voice. He has cropped red hair, black eyes with no visible pupils, and rosy cheeks.
He wears a black hat with two points that has a picture of two blue tennis rackets on it, a black leather jacket, and a black and dark blue striped jumpsuit underneath, similar to that of a prisoner. He wears black shoes with red soles and has a metal cuff attached to his left leg with a bit of a chain attached to it. He is shown to have a single silver ring cartilage on his right ear although it's not visible due to his hat.
His legs are notably much more muscular than the rest of his body. He always has a candy in his mouth, which may give the impression of a cigarette.
Before gaining his Ultimate talent, he wore a standard school uniform, with a gray blazer over top a white dress shirt and red tie. He also wore black pants with a plaid pattern and black loafers. Interestingly, he still carries a candy cigarette in his mouth.

Ryoma is a hard-boiled dandy character. [7] Though he looks like a child, it's been said that his life experience would put an adult to shame. He has a coolness that typical high school students don't have, heightened by his very deep, mature voice. He is the calmest, most composed, and unperturbed person in the Killing Game. He isn't shaken by murders, nor even if he is personally harmed. He often mentions how he refuses to do something "uncool" and doesn't want to show his softer side. He also speaks with a lot of unique idioms and hyperboles such as "cool your jets," "break out the confetti," and "plead the fifth."
After killing a mafia organization with his own hands, Ryoma considers himself a killer, the kind of person other people should not get close to. While generally not appearing very aggressive, he is apparently willing to harm and even kill people if he believes they deserve it. He occasionally gives others a very piercing look as a warning.
Ryoma has a tendency to push other people away. He feels others shouldn't get close to him because, along with being a murderer, he is on death row and thus likely to die soon, which would cause his close ones emotional burden. However, his younger self was a big animal lover with a positive and proactive nature, but he states that he is now just a shadow of his former self and his old self no longer exists. Nevertheless, he still has certain kindness and retains his great love for animals. He will not stand seeing an animal in trouble, considering such a situation an emergency. He also empathizes with Kaede's wish to escape and become friends with everyone, considering it "not bad" of an option. Despite being depressed and warning Kaede not to be so idealistic, his kindness often shines through. He occasionally gives other people excellent and positive advice, showing that he still has faith in life and positive thoughts deep down. During Class Trials, he generally trusts others but doesn't hesitate to voice his doubts and use calm judgment. He is also willing to immediately apologize for incorrect doubts. Furthermore, Ryoma is still interested in tennis even though he initially strongly denies this.
Due to his past, Ryoma appears depressed and suicidal, assuming he has very little time left and cannot have any close ones. He has little regard for his own life if any. He believes that being a death row inmate automatically makes his life worth less than anyone, and he is very much willing to die for the sake of the other students. In Chapter 1, he offers to have one of the others kill him so they may escape the school, allowing everyone to continue with the Killing Game. Rantaro manages to convince him otherwise, but he is still in a lot of doubt. He decided to look for a reason to live. Still, He became even more suicidal after his motive video revealed that he apparently has nobody to care about him in the outside world, causing him to find no reason to live. However, the situation is a bit unclear, as he showed a more positive change in attitude while talking with Shuichi. While Kirumi claimed that Ryoma had accepted his fate and wanted her to kill him, this is never confirmed, and he had tried to fight back against Kirumi in order to live. In the non-canon bonus mode of Danganronpa V3 , Ultimate Talent Development Plan , he also grows a bit more positive during the three years, as in the end, he thinks that his future didn't completely disappear a long time ago after all.
Ryoma has mentioned that he doesn't feel anything anymore concerning sexual matters, supposedly due to his depression. Such situations also make him uncomfortable, presumably because he suffered from harassment while he was in prison.

Ryota has a very skinny, somewhat frail-looking frame. He has heavy bags under his eyes and a withdrawn posture, giving him a tired and anxious appearance. He has short, light brown hair and hazel eyes. He wears a black suit with a green tie and the Future Foundation ID pinned to its lapel.

Appearance in Danganronpa 3 (Future Arc)

Ryota is a very timid and somewhat asocial person, said to possess neither will to socialize with others nor physical strength. He holds anime in very high regard, considering it his savior during his harsh childhood, and thus his life goal is to give other people in need similar sense of hope through anime. However, this turned into a very unhealthy obsession, as he constantly shut himself in his room to work because of looming deadlines. Furthermore, he constantly forgot to eat and rest, as he literally wanted to spend all his time creating anime. He is extremely passionate about anime and he is very angered if he hears anyone insulting it and he then attempts to prove them wrong by explaining anime's history and significance to Japan's culture.
Ryota ultimately has a very strong sense of justice, shown in his strong desire to fill the world with hope and save other people. However, because of this, he suffers from anxiety and worries constantly. He lacks self-confidence, seeing himself as a burden who fails to protect everyone. His nervous personality is also seen in the way he has a tendency to scream if he sees bodies or is otherwise startled. He has a weak stomach compared to other characters as he felt nauseous at the sight of Seiko's dead body, and he later threw up violently after seeing a recording of The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy . Furthermore, he sometimes walks away from the murder scene, so that he doesn't have to look at it.
Though he is very hard on himself, he still does his best to help if he is given a mission. According to Kyoko, Ryota himself appears to have some ideas for the Final Killing Game's mastermind, and that's why he is curious to know what others think, as well. Despite his very timid personality, he even tries to stop violence and fighting whenever he sees it. He appears especially protective of women, as he attempts to defend Aoi and Kyoko from Juzo despite obviously having no chance against the boxer, and he scolds Kazuo and tells him sexual harassment is wrong when he inaccurately thought Kazuo was harassing Kyoko. He also wished to protect Ruruka and take her along after her boyfriend died, though he felt awkward about the clingy way she acted towards him.
While Ryota starts the killing game trying to be more strong and protect others, his spirit seems to get more and more broken as time goes on. While he believed there should be no killing and everyone should work together, it turns out he himself is too nervous to truly trust others in the Killing Game situation. He also started out greatly admiring Makoto and his strength as the Ultimate Hope, but his feelings towards him begun to turn more negative and he came to the conclusion that ordinary people cannot be that strong and that they, including Ryota himself, are weak.
Ironically, the combination of his desire of hope, his lack of self-confidence, and his witness of the result of the Final Killing Game gives him the resolve to brainwash the entire world into hope by eliminating all sources of despair, be it it pain or suffering or jealousy, and willing to use his brainwashing video to get more people to assist him. He also feels massive guilt for what his brainwashing ultimately caused and what it did to his classmates. In the end, his classmates convince him that he isn't alone and that they all are atoning for their past mistakes. He joins them and throws away his phone with the brainwashing ability, and he finally appears to feel more relaxed.

He's a young adult with messy light colored hair. His eyes are sharp and he has small irises. during his appearance he is wearing a bathrobe.

While Sakuma's personality wasn't explored much, from his first appearance he is shown to be kind of a pervert, openly talking about adult-related things.

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc , Sakura appears to be a young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss she is two years older than she believed. She is 6'4" and weighs 218lbs, making her the largest of her classmates. Her large build, deep voice and stern appearance often causes Sakura to be mistaken for a man. She has long white hair, reddened-dark skin; very pale blue eyes, and a scar on her face and right shoulder. She often wears her expression with a slight frown. In flashback material, Sakura is shown with a much slimmer figure.

Her school uniform consists of a traditional seifuku style Japanese school uniform comprising of a white shirt a blue sailor collar, a short blue skirt, and a red tie. The sleeves on the uniform are torn off to make room for her muscular upper arms. She wears bandages wrapped around her calves and forearms. Her shoes are grey and resemble Uwabaki , with the kanji for her last name on the toe box.

Contrary to what her appearance might suggest, Sakura is a quiet, kind and level-headed girl. She rarely loses her nerve and seems able to maintain clarity in any situation. At times she can grow slightly annoyed and upset, like when people assume things like she isn't a good cook due to her looks. During more rare moments, she can lose her temper completely and become terrifying to those around her, particularly when her friends get hurt. She also gets impatient if she cannot properly train for a long period of time. She is known for her love of protein and protein coffee and enjoying exercising early in the morning before a large breakfast.
Due to her more old-fashioned upbringing, Sakura has a habit of talking in an old-fashioned, formal manner. Being raised as the sole heir to a dojo with a three-hundred-year history, she believes that being a martial artist is simply her destiny. Along with learning martial arts, she learned to respect nature and animals, being particularly fond of rabbits as they never seem to get frightened when she holds them. [7]
Along with protecting her legacy as her sworn duty, Sakura wants to prove that a woman can be the Strongest Person Alive . She also believes that she must work harder than men to achieve this goal. As a result of striving to be strong, Sakura is embarrassed about her own softer feelings and being feminine, assuming that other people would laugh at her if they knew. She is especially embarrassed about having romantic feelings for Kenshiro, thinking that it doesn't fit someone like her. However, she appeared to grow out of these insecurities after gaining real friends in high school.
Despite her gentle nature, Sakura has trouble socializing with others due to her intimidating appearance and aloof nature. Spending most of her time training, she didn't have any real friends until she attended Hope's Peak Academy. Because of this, she also has a somewhat poor knowledge of modern popular culture. For example, she knows quite little about popular modern music and doesn't understand the live music culture, or know how to sing and dance. Instead, her father taught her to appreciate traditional enka . [7] She also dislikes action comics, because they tend to have an inaccurate view of martial arts. [7] However, she appears shyly curious about young adult fiction but knows very little about it. [7]
Sakura greatly revered and respected her friendship with the other students of Class 78th, with them being her first real friends whom she trusted deeply. Likely inheriting a spirit of loyalty from her clan, she even committed suicide in order to prevent her friends from turning against each other.

Sato had violet eyes and long, dark-green, wavy hair that reached past her shoulders. She wore the Reserve Course uniform, which consisted of a long-sleeved dress shirt, a red necktie, a black-pleated skirt, and brown shoes with matching socks. In the photograph Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu received in-game, she had dark-brown hair, and her uniform had short sleeves and a brown skirt instead of a black one.
It has been revealed that she had a scar on her left arm after getting into an argument with Natsumi Kuzuryu a long time back.

According to her reasons to why she had killed Natsumi, she was a heavily possessive and defensive person who would do anything to protect her friends, especially Mahiru Koizumi , from being hurt. She had a tendency to act like a leader with her friends, and she was very decisive and unwavering in her thoughts. She also appeared to have a short temper, as she easily lost her cool when Natsumi threw empty threats or insults at her.
Once Sato murdered Natsumi to protect Mahiru, she became unhinged and set up her death to be caused by a pervert who broke into the school and offed her. She denied she ever did this, however, attempting to convince herself and the others around her of this. When Hajime Hinata directly questioned her about the situation, she became incredibly distressed. Eventually, she ran away from him and screamed after he told her that Natsumi had a strong will to live and never would've given up, implying that Sato felt gut-wrenching guilt for murdering Natsumi, even if she hated her.

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc , Sayaka appears to be young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss she is two years older than she believed.
Sayaka is a slim girl of average height with a pale complexion. She has long, dark blue hair flowing past her waist, the hair framing her face cut shorter at elbow-length, with bangs swept to the right. Two thin hairclips can be found pinned on her bangs to her right, another pinned on the left side of her face. Her eyes are round and dark blue, likely enhanced by makeup. Sayaka is considered very attractive, Makoto mentioning that she has a near doll-like beauty.
She wears a white seifuku school uniform with a blue sailor collar and sleeve cuffs, both striped with two white lines. With this, she wears a light pink ribbon tied in a large bow at her collar and a short, pleated, blue-green plaid skirt. Her legwear consists of navy thigh-high socks, the edges striped with a white line, and dark brown Mary Janes with silver buckles. Her school crest can be found printed in gold on her collar flap and her left sleeve.
In her official illustration art, Sayaka wears a lolita-style, sleeveless, sparkly, pink idol dress with a white collar and ruffles at her waist, hem, and front placket, a pink ribbon tied in a bow at her collar, with white knee-high boots. Her accessories consist of a pink headband adorned with a right-centered large pink bow decorated with white lace and ribbons, a translucent, ruffled black armband on her right arm, a studded white armband on her left, a fluffy white wristband on her right wrist, and thin, sparkly, white hairclips positioned the same as worn in her school years, the first clip on the left adorned with a star. Her hair is styled into low twintails held in place with white hair ties.
Sayaka's idol appearance in Danganronpa 1 consisted of a u-necked white cropped top with ruffles trimming her collar and lace trimming her sleeves and hem, a small white bow sewn to the front of her collar, with a mid-thigh length white skirt, two layers of ruffles at her waist, secured with a black belt buckled with gold. With this, she wore knee-high white boots, small white bows at the front. Her accessories consisted of three thin white clips positioned the same as worn in her school years, a white headband with a left-centered pink bow, a black choker adorned with white daisies, a thick white wristband on her right arm, and a thinner black wristband on her left.

During her school years, she wore inexpensive, pink panties with a lacy bow.

Sayaka has a cheerful, sweet, lighthearted, and supporting personality, expressing a kind demeanor and pleasant disposition, although it is unknown if this is only because of her status as an idol.
Sayaka develops a bond with Makoto Naegi , whom she considers her friend, assisting him on every occasion in Chapter 1. However, she tends to hide her feelings when she is under great pressure by putting on her public persona. She cares greatly for her band members, and would not hesitate to do something if anything were to happen to one of them, including things that could hurt others. When pushed to her limit, Sayaka will do anything to achieve the goals she sets out, however risky her actions may be. After she watched Killing Among Loved Ones , she only thinks of how she could escape from the academy, even planning to betray Makoto.
Sayaka mentions that she often finds herself focused on a particular person, but pushes these thoughts out of her mind to commit herself further to her idol career. She has an amazing intuition, as she can easily tell what people are thinking. She often joked about being psychic, only to admit that she was kidding later on.
She enjoys cooking, reading and playing Othello.

She is a short woman with purple eyes and a sickly complexion. She has pale grey hair and a respirator mask covering her mouth. She wears a dark-colored jacket with the Future Foundation ID pinned to the lapel, a white dress shirt, a dark miniskirt held by a purple belt, long black stockings, and purple Mary Janes . Under her respirator mask, she wears braces. She also wears purple gloves with a single white stripe in the middle. Her eyes give her a frightening look.
After consuming some of her drugs, her appearance changes drastically in a very short amount of time. Her eyes turn a darker shade of purple with symbols resembling flames. Her body tenses, her hair turns very long, and her nails and teeth grow long and sharp. In this form, she appears much stronger and faster, and she runs on all fours.
During her high school years, she wore the uniform of Hope's Peak Academy with a purple vest and a brown belt. She wore the same stockings, gloves, and mask.

Appearance in Danganronpa 3 (Future Arc) Appearance in Danganronpa 3 (Despair Arc)

Seiko had a reserved personality and a stilted way of speaking. As a pharmacist, she had an extensive knowledge of medicine and drugs. She created many different kinds of drugs, including ones that can drastically change one's physical appearance and make them much faster and stronger.
Seiko is shown to be somewhat pessimistic. In a flashback showing how she met Ruruka, she spends her time lamenting the death of 1 dog rather than cherishing the life of the dog she saved. She also appears to show little compassion or optimism over changing the remnants, believing them to be rotten.
Much like Kyoko Kirigiri , she was conscious of how easy it was for people to guess what she was thinking through her facial expressions, so she hid her face behind a mask. She got startled easily and appeared quite anxious, and, during her time in high school, she was shown to be quite shy as well. She was very meticulous while dealing with medicine.
Seiko was shown to be one of the most compassionate members of the Future Foundation, as she showed remorse over both Chisa Yukizome and Daisaku Bandai 's deaths and was angry with herself for not being able to save them. During her high school years, Seiko was described as soft-hearted, and she often took requests from other students such as Teruteru Hanamura , Nagito Komaeda , and Ruruka Ando . She also loved animals, providing care for an injured animal at no charge, as well as producing a number of medicines specially formulated for use on animals.
Because of her soft nature, Seiko (similar to Mikan Tsumiki ) was very loyal and forgiving to people who were friendly or helpful towards her. Because she was unable to eat Ruruka's sweets due to her medicine, she felt guilty and tried to compensate by helping her whenever she needed it. When Ruruka attempted to get her to kill Kyosuke Munakata , Seiko refused (and ultimately attacked Ruruka out of anger) because Kyosuke had helped her after she had been expelled from Hope's Peak Academy.

Shirokuma originally resembled the regular Monokuma Units, but he has heavily modified himself to appear less threatening. He painted the left side of his body white (though it appears to be light gray instead due to the left side's dark color), wrapped bandages around his left leg, left forearm, and the left side of his head - the latter serves to mostly conceal the jagged red left eye common to all Monokuma Units . His body is somewhat worn and covered in scratches, due to his work with the Adult Resistance.
Shirokuma has two small eyelashes on his right eye and a noticeable blush (covered by two small bandages) on his right cheek. Coupled with his very feminine vocal timbre, he's sometimes mistaken for a female. He often carries a pink flower.
If forced into combat, Shirokuma removes the bandages on his head to expose his left eye. He also displays the ability to extend claws from his hands, similar to the standard Monokuma Unit.

Shirokuma is a pacifist and he thinks that adults and kids should live together in harmony. He is very considerate and has a friendly aura surrounding himーhe can even say things very similar to Usami such as "violence is a big no-no". He wants to have the power to protect others, but he feels he isn't strong enough. He is a bit shy and all kind of fighting and mean words make him distressed. However, he can be surprisingly forceful at times.
He claims to have a good eye for judging character, as well as the ability to tell the date and time of someone's first kiss just by looking at them, among other things. He also considers the abilities and limitations of his allies, taking breaks despite technically not needing to (being a machine) in order to give Komaru time to rest and regain herself.
Though he appears very pure, Shirokuma really likes pretty girls and he is implied to be a bit perverted, just like the other Monokumas. He is also revealed to be a coward at times, as he really doesn't like fighting and finds the other Monokumas very scary, but he can be very brave for the sake of others.
Shirokuma can also be a bit philosophical at times and he has lots of knowledge about different topics, such as Murphy's law , despite claiming to have existed only for a short amount of time.
Despite his peaceful demeanor, Toko Fukawa found Shirokuma very suspicious and her opinion about him never changed. In the end, her suspicions are proven when Shirokuma is revealed to be one half of Alter Ego Junko plotting to spread despair and drag Towa City into an endless spiral of war and revenge. Shirokuma's friendly personality, in fact, his whole personality, is just Junko's acting. Still, it's heavily implied that he has only some of Junko's personality and needs Kurokuma to be whole.

Most of the time, Shuichi wears a black cap with three white stripes lining the back of it, and a silver star pinned near the front. Underneath the cap, he has short dark teal hair with a small ahoge. He has very pale skin and a slim figure. His eyes are gambogeish grey, with thick eyelashes. [6]
Shuichi's outfit is double-breasted and pinstripe, thin, grey stripes over a black uniform. His pants match his uniforms design, black with a pinstripe design to accentuate his long legs. His former school's emblem is on the breast pocket of his uniform, the pocket accentuated with a dull golden color to stand out from his generally dark, monotone uniform. His shoes are dark blue loafers that are both fashionable and easy to walk in, making it easy for him to investigate comfortably.
In the prologue, he wears his original school uniform of his original high school. He wears a blazer-style casual uniform with jacket, pants and a striped blue necktie. The collar on the shirt is large, making him look more gorgeous. He never lets go of the cap that blocks his sight, regardless of whether or not it goes well with his uniform. [7]

Shuichi's appearance (No Hat) Shuichi's High School Uniform.

Shuichi appears to have quite a serious and polite personality. He often has negative remarks, frequently blushes and suffers from a cold sweat. With his unsure demeanor, he has a tendency to assume that other people can do things better than him, and he comes across as quite unreliable at first glance. Among the sixteen students, he is a boy who stands out for his submissiveness but also for his level-headedness.
However, Shuichi can also have a stronger attitude at times when the situation calls for it. He is the first to immediately suggest going after the mastermind during chapter 1 and goes to great lengths to trap them, showing an affinity towards proactivity. His hat is an especially sore subject for him and he dislikes to look at other people's eyes, which is why he wears the hat. When meeting Miu Iruma , she accused him of being a pervert with no reason, causing him to angrily yell at her to leave him alone. She had said that boys wear hats to hide their staring, which is obviously very poor reasoning, and Shuichi angrily told her he doesn't need an excuse to wear a hat.
Even though he is a very skilled detective with superior ability and insight, Shuichi lacks self-confidence, as he claims he hasn't accomplished enough to be called a famous detective. He also feels he doesn't deserve his Ultimate title because he only happened to solve a murder case by chance, frequently referring to himself as "kind of a detective", although Kaede Akamatsu says she doesn't believe something like this is possible. [8] In the bonus mode, he also feels inferior to fellow Ultimate Detective, Kyoko Kirigiri, who possesses far more experience as a detective than him. However, he later reveals to Kaede that his biggest issue with detective work comes from the first murder case he solved, which gave him a fear of uncovering the truth, which is something a real detective would never have in his opinion. He fears the guilt, consequences and the hatred he might receive and the pain he might cause if he reveals the truth.
Whenever Shuichi feels depressed, he tends to stay in his room and doesn't eat nor shower and at times he can even feel suicidal, but he can get moving with his friends' support. With Kaede assuring him that she believes in him and he should be more confident in himself, Shuichi promises he will try although he's not sure if he can. After Kaede decides to put all her thoughts on him and believe in him prior to her execution, and with Kaito's assistance, Shuichi's timid veil breaks considerably and he even stops wearing his hat, feeling that it was "getting in the way". He begins to show more profound confidence in his abilities as a detective and when interacting with other people. He always takes a very large role in every single Class Trial after the first one, choosing not to look away from the truth anymore and keep his promise to Kaede. He also becomes noticeably more vocal than before, displaying immense outrage during the final Class Trial after revealing to his fellow survivors that Kaede was executed unjustly.
Shuichi is also shown to take romantic relationships very seriously. During his Free Time Events, when Kaede asks him if he feels uncomfortable about women and romance due to seeing so many tough adultery cases in his detective work, he fiercely denies this and says he would never be unfaithful. During his Love Suite Event with K1-B0, it's shown that he only feels a bit uncomfortable about the idea of dating the robot because of the fact that he assumes he is asking for a pretense relationship. He tells K1-B0 he doesn't want a relationship based on lies, but gladly agrees to have a romantic relationship with him after he confesses that he truly is in love with Shuichi. In general, Shuichi is shown to be a bit shy about romance, but also very supportive and willing to make the other happy even if it's just dream-like situations like the Love Suite Events. Since he is a bit submissive, some other characters tease him by calling him a masochist in Chapter 4, as he often looks so pleased to obey orders (mostly from Kaito). Miu uses this as an excuse to boss him around and Shuichi looks a bit saddened that everyone thinks of him like that. During one of the conversations beginning Miu's Free Time Events, he even obeys Miu's non-serious suggestion and plays tricks for her like a dog.
It's later revealed that Team Danganronpa created Shuichi's character of the "weakest Ultimate Detective ever", with lots of room for character development. His original personality was shown to be a somewhat nervous and disturbed person, who was a big fan of Danganronpa and its detective characters. He stated that he was willing to do anything to be a part of the show and was shown to excitedly plan ideas for gruesome murders and his own detective-themed execution. Though, it should be noted that it is left unclear whether or not this is true and it could have been a lie made by the mastermind, as pointed out by Shuichi.
However, against Team Danganronpa's expectations, it turns out that while Kaede was the perfect protagonist for Team Danganronpa 's plans, Shuichi is actually the type of protagonist needed in order to truly end the Killing Game and the series for good. In the end, he decided to give up both hope and despair, abandoning the game by refusing to vote, and ultimately ending it. While he lacks Kaede's optimism, strength, and charisma, he is also notably smarter than her.

Similarly to Takumi Hijirihara , Shūji is very fond of cramped spaces — so much so that he does not even have a bed and prefers to sleep inside a locker.
He likes to present himself as a calm and collected individual. He cares greatly about Takumi and focuses on stopping Takumi from being a killer. He has no respect for killers and will put the extinction of all murderers above human lives.

Siren Monokuma generally resembles the original Monokuma , but it has several noticeable differences. Its left side has black and yellow stripes, its teeth are silver instead of white, and its belly button is a yellow triangle with a red exclamation mark in the middle. The Siren Monokuma also has a red siren on its head and a large metal backpack placed on it's back.

Her hair is accessorized with a green-black ribbon flecked with diamonds. She wears a dark teal dress with a white collar, puffed sleeves, and belt. She also sports a large red ribbon with a blue jewel trimmed with silver on the chest. As well as this, she wears a pale bracelet on her left wrist, black over-knee socks trimmed with gray lines, and red toe cap heeled Mary Janes.
In one of her official artworks, Sonia's hair is simply down without her braid crown. She wears an off-the-shoulder pale golden ruffled ball gown, a red brooch trimmed with gold on her chest, a bejeweled necklace, and a white diamond tiara.
During her time at Hope's Peak Academy, she wore the standard issued school uniform with a brown vest over her white dress shirt. She also wore a brown headband stylized with four-leaf clover on the right side of her hair, black thigh highs, and brown loafers. Her hair was a more golden shade of blonde,  also lacked the braid crown and was considerably longer, flowing to ankle length.
As a member of Ultimate Despair, Sonia wore a white sleeveless puffy ballgown with layers of ruffles. The gown is decorated with large black cloth roses that wrap around the skirt, plus a single rose at her right shoulder. She wears long white gloves, a red-jeweled necklace, and a tall, spiked crown. Part of her hair is styled in a tall beehive, the rest left to flow down.

Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc Appearance

Sonia is a cheerful and polite girl with a great interest in Japanese culture. Being a princess, she takes a great interest in many rather ordinary things as well, such as cleaning and even the Japanese restrooms, due to not being familiar with them. She firmly wishes to be treated like a normal Japanese high school girl and her big goal is to have friends of her own age and status. Due to being a foreigner, she occasionally messes up figures of speech and has a tendency to use very outdated slang in an attempt to socialize with her fellow students. Furthermore, Sonia is fascinated with serial killers and the occult and has actually stated that she likes Friday the 13th, which makes some other students a bit creeped out. She was very interested in visiting Hell when Gundham Tanaka talked about it, and in general, she is shown to be very in tune with his dark and bizarre ramblings, seemingly being the only one who understands his way of speaking.
Sonia is very kind and thoughtful, and she cares deeply for her friends, being very protective to those she holds a deep connection to. She can also be rather physically affectionate towards her friends, as she glomps Chiaki Nanami during one scene in Danganronpa 3 . Her very polite personality is well-demonstrated by the way she is shown to be kind and polite even towards Monomi and Nagito Komaeda , despite not really liking neither of them. However, she does possess a more hostile side towards Kazuichi Soda , due to his somewhat stalker-like behavior. While she is very friendly, Sonia's commands are rather assertive and captivate the undivided attention of everyone surrounding her. It is stated that whenever she commands people, they feel an instinctive need to bow and listen to her. However, as shown in Chapter 5, Sonia can also suddenly curse a lot and shout out loud whenever she is very upset or in deep distress.
Because of her upbringing, Sonia can be rather naïve and her general behavior can make her appear a bit ditzy at times, but she is actually smart and capable of complex political analysis, and reveals in her Free Time Events that she has faced many dangerous and stressful situations due to her status as a princess, and she is even skilled and fearless in combat. As a representative and authority figure of her country, she feels she has a great responsibility and always tries to stay calm and not show any weakness, even during the killing game. However, during her Free Time Events, she allows her ordinary self to be shown as she admits to Hajime that she is desperate to go home to her people while breaking down in tears. She firmly states that she does not fear death, but she also won't let herself be killed nor kill any of her friends. She has a rather pragmatic side, that is useful during trials. Although she still tries to help as much as she could in trials, her despising the fact that she has to "doubt" her friends usually becomes a priority, implying that she is very loyal to those she genuinely cares for. In general, she is shown to be deeply loyal to her country and always prioritizes her people and country over herself, even if it makes her unhappy inside.

He has a tall, lean build, pale blonde hair, sharp brown eyes, pale skin and a serious expression. He wears a red trench coat and wears his Future Foundation ID on his left shoulder. Sonosuke wears dark red fingerless gloves, baggy black pants, and dark brown boots. He carries a multitude of weapons hidden in his coat.
During his high school days, Sonosuke wears Hope's Peak Academy uniform and a red tie underneath his red jacket.

Appearance in Danganronpa 3 (Future Arc)

Sonosuke is stated to be a "silent type", who avoids talking to others, the only exception being his romantic partner Ruruka. He is incredibly loyal and very protective of her, drawing a hidden weapon from his coat on any person who gets close to her. Sonosuke loves Ruruka's candy and Ruruka seems to feed him as a reward, him often resting his head on her lap. Though otherwise calm and serious, the way he eats candy and says "dewicious" is rather comical.
Sonosuke is very loyal to Ruruka as he never hold back and show his full splendor towards his enemy in order to protect her. Without any remorse, he set a trap that severely injured Seiko Kimura 's right hand and took out all of his hidden weapons to fight her until she reached her demise.
Once Sonosuke's trust is broken, it is very difficult to gain it back, as he believes "once a traitor, always a traitor". However, he doesn't mind when Ruruka betrays him or even when she takes his life, as he loves her very much and thus doesn't consider it a betrayal.

She has spiky hair and has a brush in her hair. She wears a choker around her neck.

From her brief appearance, we can see that she is fairly obedient to Juzo when given an order and quite efficient in regards to her work.
Despite this, it doesn't stop her from expressing bafflement when it comes to the actual specifics of her task and won't shy away from expressing uncertainty when it comes to her comrade's intentions regarding the use of her work.

Sōshun is a man of average height with brown hair and hazel eyes. He is mentioned to have "a clean and honest face", referring to his high sense of morals. While at Hope's Peak Academy, Sōshun wears their school uniform (a brown suit with a blue necktie) and a white cuff around his right arm.

Sōshun had a very righteous personality and a high level of confidence in his friends. He is mentioned to be the type of person who would at least pretend to laugh no matter how bad the joke was.
He was quite calm when Mukuro ordered him to kill his fellow student council members, mostly because he trusted them all not to kill each other. Sōshun was also a good leader and very persuasive, being able to mitigate the building tension among his classmates until Karen Kisaragi snapped from Junko's "motivation" photo.
After the events of the Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy, Sōshun is left completely traumatized by the experience, driven insane by the carnage and the blow to the head. For many weeks, he was unresponsive and acted comatose, likely because of the trauma and shock. Eventually, he responds and appears apathetic at first, but also more aggressive than normally. He begins to scream wildly and uncontrollably at the sound of Junko Enoshima's name, knowing she was responsible for the deaths of his friends. The mention of Junko's name made him completely lose his sanity and his former self, and he appeared to be unaware of what was happening around him until the end.

Taichi is a fair-skinned man that bears resemblance to his child. He has light brownish-blonde fluffy hair and light yellow-green eyes. He wears light gray glasses, a long-sleeved, white striped buttoned shirt, which is stained, implying that he has already been on the run for quite some time. He also wears long dark green pants and brown slip-ons.

Taichi is a silent and meek man, who is great with technology, especially computers. He is highly intelligent, but he lacks physical strength and appears to be quite timid. Similarly to his child, he is gentle, supportive and very willing to help others.
According to the Warriors of Hope, he doesn't care much for the seductive tricks they use. He is described as "frail and unreliable, yet a kind father".
He loved his child and wife very much. In his note, Taichi describes his desire to escape Towa City so he can find his wife and child. He explains that he must do his job as a father and husband, make sure his family is okay and give them a life they deserve. In the end, his last regret is not being able to see his child for one last time.

Takumi is tall with an average build and a bored expression. He has short black hair with a noticeable ahoge , and dark red eyes. He wears the standard Future Foundation suit-and-tie uniform. His uniform and hair are disheveled, causing Misaki to label him as a slob.
While he was younger, his eyes were yellow.

Takumi is sullen and eccentric. He enjoys hiding in dark and confined spaces, as he finds the atmosphere relaxing. In addition to his strangeness, he is also, outwardly, very lazy and frequently attempts to have Misaki do the investigation work for the both of them. He's never ashamed of what he does and has no problem with telling people what he thinks about them. Despite this, he has strong deduction skills and is very observant. It is also revealed during the second case that Takumi falls in love very easily, which can cause him to lose his regular composure and become distracted by that person.
Despite being an investigator tasked with catching criminals, Takumi has a very strong appreciation for murderers and killings, which may have transpired from the traumatic experience of the Giboura Massacre . He studies murderers and even goes as far as to rate their crimes. Takumi's ultimate resolution is to emulate the killer he narrowly escaped from as a child.
He gets extreme enjoyment out of killing, as he feels that is the fundamental trait that murderers should posses. When he kills, his true feelings are reflected as his shadow becomes more demonic and his face briefly mirrors Monokuma . Although this may or may not be a reference to him having fallen to despair, later in Chapter 6, Juzo Sakakura clarified that Takumi has no possibility of despair.
Ordinary morality does not in any way matter to Takumi. Surprisingly, he feels disdain for perpetrators who have no regard for human life.
When he was younger, Takumi acted weird and he was much more emotional. Furthermore he hated violence and gore, and seeing blood would cause him to faint.

Ted is tall with a strong, lean build with broad shoulders. He has slick, short black hair and dark eyes. He wears a v-cut, sleeveless black shirt with tailcoats, black pants and gloves, with one glove having an attached sleeve that reaches up his right forearm. He wears a tight-fitting black mask covering the bottom half of his face and has a neck warmer resting on his shoulders.

Ted is sadistic and, much like Takumi Hijirihara , is appreciative of the act of killing, which is shown by the explosive way he murders his victims and holds them to such an extent that he will fly into a rage if someone was to insult his work. The sight of his own "fireworks" is beautiful to him and excites him to the point where he loses control and laughs maniacally.
