%% * GirlyBruiser

%% * TearsOfFear: Her reaction when found to be guilty.

It is better to be the head of chicken than the rear end of an ox — seventeen-year-old Hiyoko Niwatori isn’t your everyday chipper girl, but a silent nest egg hatched in Nagoya, Aichi. Among the rest in her area, Hiyoko is one of the youngest chicken sexer trainee’s in Japan who has managed to understand the methods of fast-feathering, master the ways of vent sexing, and so proven her skills to be worthy for the poultry industry. Although Hiyoko lacks obvious self-consciousness — with steady fingers and extraordinarily good sight she has no problem to identify the copulatory organ of chicks by eye. Despite being used to living such a quiet life, somehow her unusual talent was acknowledged by the Hope’s Peak Academy, and as an invite reached to her mailbox, the sexer immediately accepted the offer. She is not the murderer in the sixth case; merely the accomplice to Shuu. However, he convinces the group otherwise, leading her to be incorrectly executed instead. Later, over the radio she confesses that she also killed Chiyoko in the third case.]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: She is abandoned in the woods to die after her vocal chords are operated on, and one of the evil doctors operating on her is called Dr Blair. This may ring a few bells with readers familiar with the case of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kelly_(weapons_expert) Dr David Kelly]], a British whistleblower.]]

* TrueCompanions: Becomes this with [[spoiler: Kezao and Noboru.]]

* ActionGirl: Surprisingly enough, given her talent. [[spoiler:She even died to a duel to the death.]]

* GentleGiant: Unless severly provoked, Kaito will always try to talk things out first. He is [[EmotionalBruiser not responsible for what happens next]].

** Like Tae-Hyun (see below), Kaito is very scathing towards [[spoiler:Airi ]] for voting for [[spoiler: Yoshiko in order to protect Sasaki]] in the fifth trial, and warns [[spoiler: her that she's made herself a target, not to mention that Chiyoko's killer is still running around.]]

--> '''Kaito''': You selfish ''bitch''. What was all that before... not wantin' t' cause death where it was unnecessary...! We could save people, we didn't have t' let them die! I WANTED TO ''BELIEVE'' '''IN''' YOU! I WANTED TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR REALITY - WHERE PEOPLE COULD ''LIVE'', AND DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE - COULD BE ''OURS''. BUT... BUT YOU '''''LIED'''''. I was right after all... so was Park-san... [[ItsAllAboutMe all you care about is yerself]]. Ya couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone else ya don't care about. Livin' life in a GODDAMN ''FAIRYTALE''. WAKE UP. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FER YER OWN. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. I agree with Chitose-chan. Moyasu-san should be locked up. Hell, she shouldn't even be allowed t' know if the motive was satisfied or not. If we're gonna lock up Shimura-san fer what he did, I'd be more than happy t' afford her the same pleasure.
--> '''''[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]]''''' ya. Ya disgust me. I may be a monster, but I'm glad my sibs will be ''more'' afraid o' th' Moyasu under the bed.

!!Kamille Ray [[spoiler:Madoka Sakamaki]]

* YouthfulFreckles: Over the bridge of his nose. [[spoiler:Subverted. They're actually fake.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a ''very'' scathing one to all the students, and '''especially''' Airi, who he calls 'walking filth' and a 'foul excuse for a human being', for condemning an innocent person [[spoiler:Shuu]] to death in the seventh trial.

* StutterStop: Has great difficulty speaking, except when [[spoiler: MIO's fronting in which case his stutter disappears entirely.]]

Some people hate being called a drama king or queen - but to eighteen-year-old Minho Seong, it's a compliment. It's not because he stirs up trouble or causes a scene; rather, he's the one that writes them. Since the age of fifteen, Minho has written, produced, and directed five unique television dramas in South Korea under his father's entertainment company. Each sixteen-episode series was an instant hit, quickly becoming a household hot topic for their complex storylines and emotional depth. On the heels of his fifth drama's success and the dissolution of an arranged marriage, Minho made a sudden move to Japan for a change of scenery and to expand his horizons - both as a person, and with his shows. [[spoiler:He is the second victim, dying of blood loss after being impaled on multiple skewers stuck to a chandelier.]]

* PlatonicLifePartners: With Hiyoko, who confesses that she loves him before she's executed.
* SickEpisode: [[spoiler:He's one of the three students who contracts Despair Fever, and goes from his usual laidback self to being over-emotional and panicky. He's back to his normal self at the end of the trial, though.]]

** He attempts to keep his composure for FATE's execution, and manages to stay conscious until she's stabbed in the stomach]], at which point the sight becomes too much.

* PointlessBandAid: After [[spoiler:Yoshihiro's execution]], Naohiro removes his bandages in front of everyone, showing that, aside from a small scar on his cheek, they hid nothing.

!!Shuu Shimura[[spoiler:/Jasper Kaname]]

* {{Omniglot}}: One of their skills -- they fluently speak Korean and Japanese, and know some basic English.

--> '''Tae-Hyun''': [[spoiler:"''I DON'T WANT TO DIE''"?! GEE, YOU SURE DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED ON WHETHER OR NOT MAYUCCHI WANTED TO DIE OR NOT, DID YOU?!? SHE WANTED TO HELP US, TO PROTECT US! AND YOU KILLED HER!! '''''YOU KILLED HER!!!''''' You were ''totally'' fucking willing to hurt people to get to your target!!! Totally willing to attack Mayuuchi just to get to Shimucchi!!! HMMMM, WHERE THE HELL DID WE SEE '''''THAT''''' BEFORE?! You pulled the exact same shit on Mayucchi as Shimucchi did!!! '''The exact!!! Same!!!''' '''''Bullshit!!!''''' You just didn't get it ''your way'', and you have the '''''fucking nerve''''' to think you're any fucking better?!
--> YOU'RE DISGUSTING! YOU'RE ''DISGUSTING!!'' '''''YUKGYEOWUOYO!!!~''''']]

Yoshiko has made many small animated clips in her lifetime; if you wanted an exact number of how many, there would be over hundreds of small clips that she hasn't even shown publically. The young animator, however, is known for her recognized animated short titled "The Heart's Eye"; a six minute short of a young girl whose heart watches the troubles that she goes through in her daily life while ignoring the backlash of it all herself. What had started as an entry to a contest became a story that was to be presented before the release of animated movies in the theatres.

A TV actor best known for her role as Azami Tantei on the hit TV series CSI : Teen Squad - A crime scene investigation series geared specifically toward teenagers. Azami was one of five child prodigies who graduated from university at age 10 to become an forensic evidence investigator expert at age 15. The team is comprised of a number of teenage experts including a doctor, a psychologist, a lawyer and a detective. Azami was always very sweet and enthusiastic about about her job while also stressing about whether the doctor would ever ask her out on a date. Airi on the other hand is very grateful for being invited to Hope’s Peak. [[spoiler: She's the culprit of Chapter 7, having killed Mayumi while attempting to plan her murder of Shuu and framed him for her murder to get revenge for Sasaki's murder; she gets her wish and gets away with her crime when Shuu is picked for execution on the grounds that the remaining players would feel safer without a known killer on the loose.]]

Can’t repeat the past? Why of course you can…or at least, you can bring parts of it back in modern circulation, and that’s exactly what young, Icelandic jeweling prodigy Bambi Sindrisson aims to do. Running an online jeweling company with [[Characters/DoubtAcademyRotRoster his twin sister]] doing the metalwork while he cuts and places the gemstones, the two “Jewels of the North” have obtained global recognition for their vintage twists on modern fashion. Celebrities around the world have commissioned them for personal pieces, turning their works into the newest fad. However, it’s hard to have a global internet business flourish in a town so small and remote you have to fight to find a signal most of the time. So, with Bambi’s ambition and big city dreams at the forefront, the two decided to move to Japan in order to broaden their horizons. Hope’s Peak saw this opportunity, and quickly seized it, immediately offering them a spot in their next semester of classes.

Not quite an environmentalist, but not just a model, Chiharu Kobayashi seems to embody the spirit of the forest itself. She caught the public’s eye back in middle school, when the young girl received a feature in Mori Girl Floraison after being photographed on the street. Seizing upon the chance, she started modeling for the magazine, quickly becoming a regular as brands started requesting she model their clothing. Her influence has increased with her presence, and now she uses her popularity to draw attention to several environmental issues. [[spoiler:Against all expectations, Chiharu turns out to be none other than the first culprit of the game. She's soon discovered to be Setsuga's killer and is executed for her crime.]].

An incredibly plain-looking, dull girl who seems disappointingly average at first glance, more than a few moments around her reveals that Chisato is significantly deeper than she lets on. Upon finding out what her title is, that depth becomes immediately apparent. She is better known by the pseudonym “Anansi” as a relentless enemy of corporate corruption and white-collar crime, having exposed many major scandals. The most famous of these was a series of illegal chemical dumps, the exposure of which resulted in the formal resignations of several corporate officers. Unfortunately, media interest in the aforementioned story ended up inadvertently exposing the true identity of Anansi despite Chisato’s best efforts to keep it hidden…and drew the attentions of Hope’s Peak. [[spoiler: She is picked at random to be punished in the fifth trial, operated on by a team of evil doctors who remove her ability to speak, before being left outside in the woods. Fortunately, she is found and rescued by other students.]]

Chiyoko first got noticed on pixiv by posting 4komas of popular shounen manga. Having gained a small following, she started publishing her own original series on the website. The series slowly gained massive internet fame and developed a cult following, each page being eagerly awaited by fans all over Japan. She was noticed by Hope’s Peak after one of her one-shot works won Shounen Jump’s Tezuka Award. Often interacting with her fans through Twitter, she’s made it her mission to lighten up their life through her work.

[[spoiler: She is the third victim, found dead with a knife in her hand and stab wounds in her stomach. The students vote her death as a suicide, only to discover that she was murdered and her killer is still at large. Her killer is later revealed to be Hiyoko- Chiyoko suggested they fight to the (possibly mutual) death to save the group from the motive that was sucking the air out of the sealed castle, but she gave Hiyoko a sword to her own kendama, and Hiyoko's sense of self-preservation led her to kill Chiyoko.]]

A Fuwa-Fuwa Future. That is Chitose’s main and only goal in life. Ever since she was young, Chitose was obsessed with her dream to have a future where everything is beautiful, soft serene and people are happy and worry-free. A completely and utterly impossible goal, but those words never seem to register in this girl’s head. She’s a very active participant in any charity work, campaigns to save wildlife or plant life and other generally hard but kind-hearted activities. She spreads good will and makes herself a shining example of what she wishes from the world, winning people over with her pure- hearted naiveness yet relentless passion to make the world beautiful.

For the past week I’ve been trying so hard to understand and forgive every killer, because I finally realized that this place is giving us no other choice! The murderers did not want to kill, but were forced to kill because of this sick game! To save our lives, to buy us time! Poor Koba-chii, I chewed her out back then for doing what she did but I finally realized that without her sacrifice, we all would’ve died! And Sasaki-chan too! At first I thought that she didn’t have to kill! She could’ve just ran away, left Yoshiko-chan and then things would’ve not turned out the way they did now, but I finally understood that the murder was not intended! Spur of the moment, struck by grief and fear! I forgave! I forgave all of them! I tried my best! Hating, holding grudges, petty disagreements; they’re all counter-productive in this place! My hatred for the dead was blinding me so I let it go, but ''you''... '''YOU'''. '''''YOU I CAN’T FORGIVE!''''']]

I DEMAND THAT YOU GET HUNG BY THOSE SHACKLES LIKE HE HAD BEEN! YOU ARE A DANGER, A MENACE! Shuu-chii had hurt, he did! He hurt the night watch, he killed Sasaki-chan, but Niwatori-san’s death was caused by OUR votes! He asked her to be his accomplice and she agreed, knowing full well of the possible consequence! She was ready to assist a murder! Don’t blame her death on Shuu-chii, we all voted for her, not just him! Shuu-chii… he had... he did bad things, terrible things, but [[WellIntentionedExtremist he did it to save the rest of us]]! He [[NothingPersonal held no grudge against Sasaki-chan, it was not personal]]! The fever would’ve been the end of us! But you… you just…]]

!!FATE STRIFEBRINGER[[spoiler:/Haruna Himura]]

Also known by several more lengthy titles such as ‘Emissary of The Heavenly Plane’ and ‘Wielder of The Heart of the Goddess Kyner’vi’, FATE STRIFEBRINGER, DAUGHTER OF WAR, DANCE PARTNER OF THE BLIGHTED WOLF, AND DISCIPLE OF THE ETERNAL HELLSONG OF THE HOLY FELL RIVER is considered an international icon within [=LARPing=] communities worldwide - both for the film that was made based upon one of her group’s more vaguely feudal era-esque campaigns that raked in nearly 14.7 billion yen within its first week at the box office, and her notorious ability to remain in character at all times. Although where she came from exactly is a bit of a mystery, those who associate with her regularly are content to think of her as a living RPG character, finding her eccentricities add to her charm. [[spoiler:She is the culprit of chapter 2 and is executed for the murder of Minho]].

Haruka Miki is renowned amongst sports fans for her prowess in volleyball. A setter who favors the slow setting style, she wields excellent control over the ball and is capable of penetrating the opponent’s blockade with ease. Some rumors that have recently begun to circulate suggest that she already has offers to join the Japan women’s national volleyball team after graduation, but she refuses to confirm or deny anything. Haruka is never seen as anything less than bubbly and effervescent, though she never talks much about her life outside of volleyball and always deflects any personal questions that might come up during interviews.

** [[spoiler:After Airi confesses to killing Mayumi to frame Shuu in the seventh trial, Kaito finally loses his temper and delivers an absolutely visceral rant to Airi.]]

--> '''Konstantin''': [[spoiler:All of you are disgusting. You knew that Shimura... Kaname-san was innocent, and yet you still voted for him. There was no evidence that pointed toward him. He did nothing, and yet you're still condemning him to death. You knew the only suspects were Chitose, Oh-san, and that... ''[[ItIsDehumanizing thing]]''[[note]]The "thing" in question is heavily implied to by Airi[[/note]]. Don't even try to tell me you didn't. All of you... All of you knew what you were doing. You were fully conscious of your decisions and yet you still voted for him. Every last one of you is despicable. Hanezuka-san... She did so much for us. All that she did was help and help and help, and never asked for anything from any of us. Yet the one time that she asks us to do one thing - her death wish - you purposefully choose someone who was innocent and framed... just because 'he deserved it', or 'it's easier to kill him'. You disgust me.]]

--> [[spoiler:...But there is ''no one'' more revolting than '''you''', Airi Moyasu. You aren't human. Any similarity between you and anyone in this room is coincidental. You are walking filth. This wretched hellhole we are all trapped in was horrible enough, but knowing someone as volatile as you exists in flesh and blood here only makes it that much worse. You hate Kaname-san because he killed Yuzuki-san and hurt others, but to be frank, you are even worse. I am appalled to see that Saito-san still has your back after seeing just how repulsive you are. Not only were you the root of the mistrial that took away Sakamoto-san’s voice, but now you’ve shed both the blood of Hanezuka-san and… regrettably soon, Kaname-san. You are a foul excuse for a human being, and if I was willing to stoop down to your level, I would send you off to the fires of Hell myself.]]
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:He obviously doesn't show it, but his speech to the students and the guilty party during the seventh trial demonstrates a clear disgust for [[CycleOfRevenge what the killing game has devolved into]] and how Shuu is being condemned for a crime he didn't commit simply because it's easier to throw him to the wolves rather than respect Mayumi's death wish.]]

Though few outside the neighborhood around Hope’s Peak would know the name of Hanezuka, anyone who’d spent their youth attending the public school system in the area would certainly shiver at her name. Standing tall and proud, built like a body-builder and strict as a teacher, Mayumi Hanezuka was chosen at random to be Class Representative in her first year as an elementary school student and immediately realized she’d found her calling. For years, she’s been a feared presence in the schools… as well as a respected one, being strict and demanding and yet helping even her worst-off classmates raise their grades higher than anyone could have anticipated. With her knack for tutoring in a way that makes the information stick, and an unbroken streak of wins against delinquent students, there’s no doubt that Mayumi’s earned her title of SHSL Class Representative. [[spoiler: Though she wasn't who Airi was gunning for, she becomes the eighth victim of the killing game, killed by poison after Airi attacked her and she fell on some poisonous plants.]]

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:Generally one of the nicer students of the line-up, if fairly uptight and a little rigid at times, and sought the safety of her fellow classmates above all else, never asking for anything in return...and she ends up being the victim of Chapter 7 at the hands of Airi. Several of the students (in particular, Tae-Hyun, Kaito, Chitose, Mickey and Konstantin) express outrage and disgust that Airi would murder Mayumi for little more than petty revenge.]]

A half-Italian, half-Japanese young man who comes from a family of pâtissiers specializing in frozen confectionery. The 20XX International Dairy Show didn’t just showcase the world’s best in iced treats but it also brought together CU’s parents, as well as his very conception in a moment of “heated” passion within one of the walk-in freezers housing the show’s goods. With his parents living very far apart, his father in Varese, Italy, and his mother in Ikebukuro, Japan, a young CU was often between the two countries frequently. Halfway through middle school, CU moved to Japan to live with his mother and experience Japanese schooling (as was agreed before CU was born). Only a few months into high school, he was handed an esteemed ticket to Hope’s Peak Academy. CU passed out shortly after hearing the news. [[spoiler:He kills Tae-Hyun in Chapter 8, when the MIO personality is fronting, in an attempt to frame Kaito and get him executed. It backfires, however, when Chitose is executed instead.]]

Born and raised in Naha, Okinawa, Nao Tamashiro is said to have the hands of the gods. His fingers seem to intuitively locate problem areas through touch alone, and often his clients don’t need to direct him at all in order to receive the best possible massage experience. Though if one was to ask him about whether divinity has anything to do with his technique, the ever humble masseur would simply chalk it up to practice. He is employed by five-star luxury resort Okinawa Crown Royal Hotel & Spa as their highest paid and most lauded massage practitioner. However, he also runs a private practice on the side that is notoriously hard to book. It’s far more expensive than the spa, but since he focuses on health with the breadth of his knowledge instead of just relaxation, it’s said to be worth every yen. [[spoiler: He is identified as the mastermind behind one half of the mutual killing game.]]

* SurferDude: Makes up for not talking like one by actually being an accomplished surfer. It might not be the talent he was invited to school for, but surfing was his biggest hobby back in Okinawa. He gets his prized surfboard back after Haruka finds it. [[spoiler: When he gets Despair Fever, he starts acting like a stereotypical SurferDude and sports a pink Hawaiian shirt.]]

As a son of a model and her manager, Naohiro was exposed to the world of beauty and fashion from a very young age. He first began using makeup at eight, when he would practice on his younger sister in his free time. After getting even more practice with his mother’s cosmetologists over the years, he eventually went to cosmetology school at 15, graduating with a proper cosmetology license at 17. From then on, he would work with many different models and actors, making them look their greatest for whatever audience or camera they would be showcased to. His name has become particularly renowned throughout international beauty pageants, where he has constantly played a significant role with the cosmetology team for those participating. [[spoiler:He is the sixth victim, dead of blood loss from multiple stab wounds to the stomach by Yoshiko.]]

* DespairEventHorizon: Several recent events have culminated in Naohiro reaching this point.

** He attempts to keep his composure for [[spoiler:FATE's execution]], and manages to stay conscious until [[spoiler:she's stabbed in the stomach]], at which point the sight becomes too much.
** Once again in Chapter 4, when he finds [[spoiler:Haruka's corpse, which is horribly mangled and brutalized]].

Sasaki now plays with Sato’s orchestra and travels the globe performing at all sorts of formal concerts. Upon acceptance to Hope’s Peak, however, she announced that her performances would be limited to Japan during her stay at the elite school. [[spoiler: In the fifth trial, she confesses to killing Yoshiko, but survives the trial as Yoshiko receives more votes. In Chapter 6, she is found dead in her bass case, making her the seventh victim. It is revealed in the sixth trial that Shuu killed her, and Hiyoko was his accomplice.

Under the close supervision of sponsors and supporters alike, Setsuga most recently won silver in the FIS Snowboard World Championships men’s slopestyle competition, making him the first Japanese athlete ever to secure a place in the event. Along with the prestige of the medal, his youth and unwaveringly pleasant demeanor earned him considerable media attention as a marketable symbol of Japan’s bright future in international sports — including an invitation from Hope’s Peak to attend the academy under the title of Super High School Level Freestyle Snowboarder. [[spoiler:The first victim of ''Doubt Academy 4: Rubble'', locked in the freezer and left inside for ten hours until he died of hypothermia.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Dying of hypothermia is '''not''' a fun or quick way to go, not helped by his insane resistance to cold climates, which meant he suffered for nearly half the day until he finally gave up the ghost.]]

Although he’s only entered a few competitions since the start of his career, with the stellar results he’s consistently obtained, Shuu has clearly surpassed his brother. However, he does share an enigmatic nature with him, and also has a tendency to shy away from the public eye. [[spoiler: He confesses to murdering Sasaki Yuzuki in the sixth trial, but is saved from execution when Hiyoko - his accomplice - gains the majority vote. However, he is voted as the culprit during the seventh trial and executed after the students, who feel more secure executing a known killer, fail to find that week's actual culprit.]]

* AcquittedTooLate: [[spoiler:The victim of [[InvokedTrope a deliberately engineered example]]; Airi keeps her mouth shut on her murder of Mayumi until after his fate has been sealed and he's been set to be executed.]]

* CoolShades
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He is drowned in a tank of ''his own blood'', along with some corrosive fluid that eats away at his skin as he dies.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:His left eye is revealed to be damaged after a furious Airi throws soup in his face (which itself injures his eye further); internal narration reveals that something pierced his eye earlier, but he ''left it in'' to continue his task, and later covered the wound up with tape. Shuu even notes to himself that he might not ever regain vision in that eye.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:His rationale for killing Sasaki. Since she had gotten away with the murder of Yoshiko, Shuu feels that if anyone has to die in order to stop more students contracting Despair Fever, it should be her.]]
* InTheHood
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Subverted. Shuu avoids execution in Chapter 6 when Hiyoko, who was complicit in his crime, gains the majority vote and is executed in his place, but ends up being picked as firing squad fodder in the very next chapter when everyone can't find out who murdered Mayumi precisely ''because'' he managed to get away with Sasaki's murder.]]
* NiceHat
* [[TwinSwitch Sibling Switch]]: [[spoiler:Shuu wanted to enter skydiving competitions when he was several years underage, but since he had a similar build to his twenty-year-old brother and his face would usually be obscured by his glasses and helmet, he was able to compete under his brother's own alias, Walter Shimura. Walter/Shoichi eventually made him stop when his own friends kept asking him about his competitions.]]
* TheScapegoat: [[spoiler:Voted as the culprit during Chapter 7, not because he was believed to be guilty, but because the students couldn't find the culprit and felt more secure executing someone they knew had killed. To rub salt in the wound, the actual culprit had framed ''him'' for the murder that week, after their attempt on his life got someone else killed instead.]]
* TheStoic
* TheQuietOne
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Kills Sasaki not out of pure malice, but because he felt that doing so would prevent everyone else from contracting Despair Fever, as well as eliminate another known murderer in the process.]]

Appearing out of almost nowhere to take the first place rank of the Mobile World Cup in New York, Tae-Hyun is known for their fast fingers and… honestly, not much else. A quiet, secretive individual, they’ve had a knack for technology ever since they were young. Slowly becoming wealthy through their competitions, due to a change in their mother’s job, the Park family high tailed it out of there to live in Japan, where Tae-Hyun soon received their invitation for their nimble fingers.

A healthy and sparkling smile is of the utmost importance! No one believes this more strongly than Yoshihiro Shirayuki, the upbeat and genial son of two dentists who dreams of - literally - brightening the smiles of everyone around him. Yoshihiro has spent years diligently studying to become a dental hygienist under his parents and began regularly working at his family’s well-known dental practice as soon as he was able to. He has made quite the name for himself just then, both for his outstanding work at the Shirayuki dental practice and his zealous efforts to promote oral health education among Japanese citizens, be it by lecturing elementary school students on dental hygiene or by traveling to retirement homes to help the elderly properly care for their teeth. It was these efforts, combined with his strong work ethic and incredible passion for his field of choice that netted Yoshihiro an invitation into Hope’s Peak Academy as the Super High School Level Dental Hygienist. [[spoiler:After Chiyoko's death is incorrectly voted as a suicide, he is chosen at random to be executed by Monokuma. In Chapter 8, he is resurrected.]]

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:As his player revealed in OOC posts, Yoshihiro's parents were both emotionally abusive and extremely controlling towards all of their children, especially Yoshihiro and his estranged older brother, Yasu, enough to drive the latter into a nervous breakdown and cause the former to develop a rather shaky sense of self-worth and some StepfordSmiler tendencies.]]
* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead:]] [[spoiler:Resurrected from the afterlife in Chapter 8 as part of the motive.]]
* [[spoiler:BaitAndSwitch: For his execution, he is strapped to a dentist chair, surrounded by all kinds of nasty-looking instruments, and assumes that this is how he is going to be executed - only for his restraints to become loose.

* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Tends towards the depressed variation of the trope at times, especially shortly before and after his execution in Chapter 3.]]

** MenDontCry: Acknowledged in-universe and consciously averted - it's stated in narration that Yoshihiro has never once felt compelled to hold back his tears in order to "be a man" and finds it perfectly healthy to have a good cry.
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: [[spoiler:Before his death in Chapter 3, Yoshihiro was almost entirely deaf in his right ear due to a childhood bout with bacterial meningitis, although this wasn't outright stated in-game until shortly before his execution. Upon returning to life, he's mentioned as being able to hear perfectly out of both ears, just as he had in the afterlife.]]

Since then, Yoshiko has gotten offers of working along companies around Japan, involving herself with the cleanings of frames or directing the art of certain animes. Her most well-known contribution was towards the anime "North of Miwa", particularly for the level of detail she had given to the movement of the characters in the series. Yoshiko claims that once she finishes high school and university, she would like to start her own anime as well! [[spoiler:She is the fifth victim, dead of blood loss from a slashed throat. It is revealed in the fifth trial that she killed Naohiro, and Sasaki confesses to killing Yoshiko.]]

--> '''Chitose''': [[spoiler:YOU BITCH, YOU SCUM, YOU WORTHLESS WASTE! THERE'S NOTHING REMOTELY HUMAN ABOUT YOU! For the past week I’ve been trying so hard to understand and forgive every killer, because I finally realized that this place is giving us no other choice! The murderers did not want to kill, but were forced to kill because of this sick game! To save our lives, to buy us time! Poor Koba-chii, I chewed her out back then for doing what she did but I finally realized that without her sacrifice, we all would’ve died! And Sasaki-chan too! At first I thought that she didn’t have to kill! She could’ve just ran away, left Yoshiko-chan and then things would’ve not turned out the way they did now, but I finally understood that the murder was not intended! Spur of the moment, struck by grief and fear! I forgave! I forgave all of them! I tried my best! Hating, holding grudges, petty disagreements; they’re all counter-productive in this place! My hatred for the dead was blinding me so I let it go, but ''you''... '''YOU'''. '''''YOU I CAN’T FORGIVE!''']]

--> '''Konstantin''': [[spoiler:All of you are disgusting. You knew that Shimura... Kaname-san was innocent, and yet you still voted for him. There was no evidence that pointed toward him. He did nothing, and yet you're still condemning him to death. You knew the only suspects were Chitose, Oh-san, and that... ''thing''[[note]]The "thing" in question is heavily implied to by Airi[[/note]]. Don't even try to tell me you didn't. All of you... All of you knew what you were doing. You were fully conscious of your decisions and yet you still voted for him. Every last one of you is despicable. Hanezuka-san... She did so much for us. All that she did was help and help and help, and never asked for anything from any of us. Yet the one time that she asks us to do one thing - her death wish - you purposefully choose someone who was innocent and framed... just because 'he deserved it', or 'it's easier to kill him'. You disgust me.]]

--> [[spoiler:...But there is ''no one'' more revolting than you, Airi Moyasu. You aren't human. Any similarity between you and anyone in this room is coincidental. You are walking filth. This wretched hellhole we are all trapped in was horrible enough, but knowing someone as volatile as you exists in flesh and blood here only makes it that much worse. You hate Kaname-san because he killed Yuzuki-san and hurt others, but to be frank, you are even worse. I am appalled to see that Saito-san still has your back after seeing just how repulsive you are. Not only were you the root of the mistrial that took away Sakamoto-san’s voice, but now you’ve shed both the blood of Hanezuka-san and… regrettably soon, Kaname-san. You are a foul excuse for a human being, and if I was willing to stoop down to your level, I would send you off to the fires of Hell myself.]]

A TV actor best known for her role as Azami Tantei on the hit TV series CSI : Teen Squad - A crime scene investigation series geared specifically toward teenagers. Azami was one of five child prodigies who graduated from university at age 10 to become an forensic evidence investigator expert at age 15. The team is comprised of a number of teenage experts including a doctor, a psychologist, a lawyer and a detective. Azami was always very sweet and enthusiastic about about her job while also stressing about whether the doctor would ever ask her out on a date. Airi on the other hand is very grateful for being invited to Hope’s Peak. [[spoiler: She's the culprit of Chapter 7, having killed Mayumi in an attempt to frame Shuu for her murder to get revenge for Sasaki's murder; she gets her wish and gets away with her crime when Shuu is picked for execution on the grounds that the remaining players would feel safer without a known killer on the loose.]]

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Thanks to Shuu becoming TheScapegoat of Chapter 7, she manages to get away with Mayumi's murder and goes on to survive the rest of the game, cementing her status as this. To rub salt in the wound, she was already planning on framing Shuu for her murder of Mayumi to begin with, so she also gets exactly what she wants out of the trial.]]

** BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: She kills Mayumi in an attempt to frame Shuu, as she is angry with him for getting away with Sasaki's murder.]]

Though few outside the neighborhood around Hope’s Peak would know the name of Hanezuka, anyone who’d spent their youth attending the public school system in the area would certainly shiver at her name. Standing tall and proud, built like a body-builder and strict as a teacher, Mayumi Hanezuka was chosen at random to be Class Representative in her first year as an elementary school student and immediately realized she’d found her calling. For years, she’s been a feared presence in the schools… as well as a respected one, being strict and demanding and yet helping even her worst-off classmates raise their grades higher than anyone could have anticipated. With her knack for tutoring in a way that makes the information stick, and an unbroken streak of wins against delinquent students, there’s no doubt that Mayumi’s earned her title of SHSL Class Representative. [[spoiler: She is the eighth victim, killed by poison after Airi attacked her and she fell on some poisonous plants.]]

* ShoutOut: From the Monomachine, she receives a pack of cigarettes belonging to Tamaki Manabe of Doubt academy 3: Omega.

* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Subverted. Although she killed Yoshiko in Chapter 5, Yoshiko is voted as the culprit instead and Chisato ends up getting punished in her stead...but it doesn't last long, as she turns up dead in the next chapter.]]

Not quite an environmentalist, but not just a model, Chiharu Kobayashi seems to embody the spirit of the forest itself. She caught the public’s eye back in middle school, when the young girl received a feature in Mori Girl Floraison after being photographed on the street. Seizing upon the chance, she started modeling for the magazine, quickly becoming a regular as brands started requesting she model their clothing. Her influence has increased with her presence, and now she uses her popularity to draw attention to several environmental issues.

** Once again in chapter 4, when he finds [[spoiler: Haruka's corpse, which is horribly mangled and brutalized]].

Sasaki now plays with Sato’s orchestra and travels the globe performing at all sorts of formal concerts. Upon acceptance to Hope’s Peak, however, she announced that her performances would be limited to Japan during her stay at the elite school. [[spoiler: In the fifth trial, she confesses to killing Yoshiko, but survives the trial as Yoshiko receives more votes. In Week 6, she is found dead in her bass case, making her the seventh victim. It is revealed in the sixth trial that Shuu killed her, and Hiyoko was his accomplice. She is said to be dead of subdural hematoma, which is internal bleeding in the brain; however, how exactly this occurred was never stated explicitly during her trial.]]

* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: She confesses to the murder of Yoshiko, but survives the trial as Yoshiko receives more votes, and Chisato is punished instead. However, she dies in the following week.]]

Under the close supervision of sponsors and supporters alike, Setsuga most recently won silver in the FIS Snowboard World Championships men’s slopestyle competition, making him the first Japanese athlete ever to secure a place in the event. Along with the prestige of the medal, his youth and unwaveringly pleasant demeanor earned him considerable media attention as a marketable symbol of Japan’s bright future in international sports — including an invitation from Hope’s Peak to attend the academy under the title of Super High School Level Freestyle Snowboarder. [[spoiler:He is the first victim, locked inside a freezer until he died of hypothermia.]]

* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath: Setsuga was left to freeze in the freezer for around 10 hours.]]

* [[spoiler: EyeScream: His left eye is revealed to be damaged after a furious Airi throws soup in his face (which itself injures his eye further); internal narration reveals that something pierced his eye earlier, but he ''left it in'' to continue his task, and later covered the wound up with tape. Shuu even notes to himself that he might not ever regain vision in that eye.]]
* [[spoiler: IDidWhatIHadToDo: His rationale for killing Sasaki. Since she had gotten away with the murder of Yoshiko, Shuu feels that if anyone has to die in order to stop more students contracting Despair Fever, it should be her.]]

* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini: Despite Shuu confessing to murdering Sasaki, Hiyoko is chosen to be executed instead. However, this is averted the next trial, where he is voted as the culprit ''because'' of his KarmaHoudini status.]]

* [[spoiler:[[TwinSwitch Sibling Switch]]]]: [[spoiler:Shuu wanted to enter skydiving competitions when he was several years underage, but since he had a similar build to his twenty-year-old brother and his face would usually be obscured by his glasses and helmet, he was able to compete under his brother's own alias, Walter Shimura. Walter/Shoichi eventually made him stop when his own friends kept asking him about his competitions.]]
* [[spoiler: TheScapegoat: Voted as culprit during week 7 not because he was believed guilty but because the students couldn't find the culprit and felt more secure executing someone they knew had killed. To rub salt in the wound, the actual culprit had framed him for the murder that week, after their attempt on his life got someone else killed instead.]]

* [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist]]

* TeensAreShort: The shortest member of the Rubble class, standing at 149 centimeters. (Four feet, eleven inches!)

* [[spoiler:AbusiveParents]]: [[spoiler:As his player revealed in OOC posts, Yoshihiro's parents were both emotionally abusive and extremely controlling towards all of their children, especially Yoshihiro and his estranged older brother, Yasu, enough to drive the latter into a nervous breakdown and cause the former to develop a rather shaky sense of self-worth and some StepfordSmiler tendencies.]]
* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead]]

* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion: He is randomly chosen to be executed for the murder of Chiyoko, to the horror of several students.]]

* [[spoiler:ThrowingOffTheDisability: Before his death in chapter 3, Yoshihiro was almost entirely deaf in his right ear due to a childhood bout with bacterial meningitis, although this wasn't outright stated in-game until shortly before his execution.
