He's the victim of Chapter 4, going into cardiac arrest after eating poisonous plants.
- Big Brother Instinct: Not only is he protective of his younger siblings, but he extends that same fondness to a few of his classmates.
- CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: Averted. It's attempted on him immediately after his death, but not only does it fail to restart his breathing or heartbeat, but the untrained, desperate motions break several bones in his chest. The fact that someone even tried this becomes very important in narrowing down the suspects.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Poisoned with aconite. According to Kenichi, Daisuke was alive for two hours before his heart finally gave out, and evidence suggests he spent most of that time puking and in pain.
- Curtains Match the Window: Brown hair and brown eyes.

Hitoshi Nakamura
Super High School Level Rhinologist
- Innocent Blue Eyes: His eyes are deep blue, and he’s quite genial.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: Hitoshi previously appeared in Doubt Academy 2: Black. However, these two characters are not the same person. This Hitoshi is another iteration of the character created by the same player.
- The Stoic: Doesn’t emote much.
Jaejin Kinjo
Super High School Level Maknae
In chapter 1, he was the first murder victim.
- Idol Singer: Though Jaejin was once part of an eight-member idol group, he appears to be focused on solo projects at the time of the game.

- Real Men Wear Pink: He wears a pink coat, a pinkish-purple Pluto necklace, has a pink hair tie and his eyes are pinkish-purple.
Jasmine Hayes
Super High School Level Electronic Musician
She is executed in Chapter 5 for murdering Kaori.
- Blackmail: She discovered her family's company was deeply corrupt and blackmailed her parents with that information so that she'd be allowed to pursue her own career choices.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: She's thrown into a crowded dance floor and made to struggle onto an empty, open stage, which collapses around her to reveal that she's standing on a conveyor belt. Jaz is dragged off to a quality control line, where her family watches as she's inspected, labeled as defective, and electrocuted to death.
- Deadpan Snarker: Her sense of humour, both her own and what she finds funny, is noted as being 'dry wit and sarcasm'. She can sometimes come off quite blunt due to this and her own personality.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": She prefers that people call her Jaz or some variation of it, but is very uncomfortable with her full name, especially use of her surname.
- Family Business: An electronics distribution company, though Jaz's public bio states she decided against joining it to become a musician.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: She wears earbuds and isn’t really the social type.
- I Have No Daughter!: In the fifth trial, Jaz mentions that her parents have disowned her, and that she's not even really a Hayes anymore.
- Murder by Mistake: Jaz confesses that her original victim was supposed to be Kuma, not Kaori.
- Self-Made Woman: Since her parents disapproved, she decided to work in the industry by herself and she’s done quite well.
- Stage Name: VOLTAZ.
- The Stoic: Her natural heavily formal demeanor and reserved aspects of her personality can make her come off like this.
- Unusual Euphemism: Though used in the same context, Jaz refrains from actually swearing as much as possible, preferring to use substitutes for the curse words. Overlaps with Gosh Darn It to Heck!.
Kaya Hanamoto
Super High School Level Cosplay Idol
- Break the Cutie: The cycle of distrust and failures of justice wear Kaya down greatly, the final straw being the execution of a close friend.
- Genki Girl: She’s eccentric and excitable.
- Girlish Pigtails: Has a high pair, done up with thin brown hair ties.
- Magic Idol Singer: Her main cosplay getup, called Justine.
- Take Me Instead: Tries to do this after the Trial Five ended, and the week's culprit was revealed to be Jaz.
Kei Yagami
Super High School Level Mobage Player
But despite his active presence in a number of online communities through Twitter and Ameblo - and with a rather generous number of followers on each to boot - it seems that almost everything surrounding Kei himself is a mystery to the general public. If his consistently high positions on mobage leaderboards are anything to go by… well, it’s safe to assume he doesn’t get out much, at least.
- Exotic Eye Designs: Has stars in his pupils.
- Mobile Phone Game: His talent is that he’s really good at playing these.
- Nerd Glasses: Wears a black-framed pair of these.
- V-Sign: Has utilized this gesture on multiple occasions, when he’s happy mostly.
- What Is This Feeling?: Wonders this upon discovering Tobio's dead body.
Kenichi Kagata
Super High School Level Culinary Competitor
He is executed for indirectly killing Daisuke in Chapter 4.
- Abusive Parents: His biological parents subjected him to a severe case of Parental Neglect by leaving him alone for extended periods of time in an unsafe home, resulting in him nearly dying in a house fire. While Kenichi's in better custody now, it's implied that he continues to face Financial Abuse from his birth mother whenever they communicate.
- Accidental Murder: Through Kenichi's negligence, Daisuke ends up consuming a fatal dose of poison.
- Alliterative Name: Not just him, either, but also his mother Kazue Kagata.
- Career Versus Man: It's pointed out that if he's working at a restaurant or away on a long-term filming commitment, Kenichi might not have any time to spend with loved ones, especially since with the former he's expected to work on days couples would usually be eating out. He's willing to let go of romances if they aren't happy with this arrangement, though, rather than letting their disappointment grow into resentment.
- Child Prodigy: The focus of Chef Search Juniors was a whole group of prodigies ranging from ages eight to thirteen that could cooking with just as much skill and finesse as professional adults, and at eleven Kenichi was named the best among them.
- Cooking Duel: A literal application of this trope. His talent revolves around contests of culinary skill, complete with televised appearances on fictional equivalents of real-life shows.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Kenichi is locked in a cage suspended over a fire, about to be cooked. Though he manages to escape, the floor gives way and he falls into a mincing machine. His bloody remains are then turned into a shepherd's pie.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Blue hair and blue eyes.
- Hypocrite: Kenichi continues to resent Siyu even weeks after he sacrificed Haruka to save his own life, believing him to be little more than a coward. When Kenichi finds himself cornered in trial and facing that same fear of impending death, his last-ditch attempt to redirect attention is to throw Date under the bus and accuse him of killing Hikaru. A lot of characters call him out on this.
- Named After Somebody Famous: His given name comes from Chen Kenichi, the only Iron Chef to stay on the original Japanese run from beginning to end. His surname comes from Kagata Kyoko, the first woman to compete on the show, and the youngest chef to emerge victorious after she defeated Chen at the age of 26.
- Official Couple: Becomes this with Daisuke. Then he accidentally kills him.
- Raised by Grandparents: The specifics aren't stated, but it's noted that was adopted by his grandparents, and that he denies any notion that they aren't his "real parents".
- Scars Are Forever: Much of the right side of Kenichi's body is scarred from severe burns he got as a child; while surgeries were done to restore function and appearance as much as possible, there's still some scarring remaining on his face and especially on his arm.
- Trash of the Titans: Not Kenichi, but his biological father, who had hoarded books, magazines, and newspapers during the time Kenichi still lived with him; rather than the usual lighthearted application of this trope, it was a serious safety hazard that almost got Kenichi killed. Rubbing it in further, one of the Monomachine items turns out to be an overstuffed box taken from his childhood home, complete with a reminder of said near-death.
- Together in Death: An odd variation happens when he and Daisuke end up being Week 4's victim/culprit pair.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Kenichi has a fear of feeling trapped, which becomes steadily worse over the course of the game and even leads to him being incredibly uncomfortable in elevators. And that's not even getting into the fact that his execution shoves him into a locked cage.
Kin Kita

They are the second student to be executed by mistrial in chapter 3.
- Alliterative Name: They do, as well as their sister, Kimi Kita.
- Camera Fiend: Rather obsessed with filming with their camera phone.

- Mythical Motifs: Their nickname is the Daring Dragonling, and they do have an overwhelming fascination, close to obsession, with the mythical beasts.

Students L-Z
Lucas Tanaka
Super High School Level Traceur
- But Not Too Foreign: Lucas is half-American, half-Japanese.
- Gratuitous Iambic Pentameter: For whatever reason, when Lucas speaks, he tends to always do it in haiku.

Natsumi Kawaguchi
Super High School Level Pharmacologist
In chapter 2 she's the second murder victim, killed by Sun.
- Technicolor Eyes: Her’s are pink.
Setsuna Suzuran
Super High School Level Mobile Phone Tosser
- Alliterative Name: So far the only one with one in her family!
- Apologises a Lot: Due to her soft-hearted nature.
- Flower Motifs: Lily of the Valley, which isn't a coincidence, considering the meaning of her last name.
- Tender Tears: Naturally as a soft-hearted person, she tends to cry often when someone dies.
- They're Called "Personal Issues" for a Reason: After figuring out that Yona has her secret motive card, Setsuna panics and does nothing to reply to the storm chaser's question.
- Unknown Rival: Unbeknownst to Setsuna, Tobio considers her his mortal enemy.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: After chapter 3's motive, it is revealed that Setsuna is scared of people to some degree. Although she has grown numb to this fear, it still seems to affect her actions.
- Youthful Freckles: Has these both on her cheeks and above her nose.
Shion Tsuzuki
Super High School Level Thereminist
- Big Sister Worship: Holds her older sister, Kotone, in extremely high esteem, to the point where she's the only person the egotistical Shion ranks above herself in importance and will automatically defer to.
- Classy Cravat: Wears one as a near-constant fixture of her wardrobe.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Shion doesn't exactly possess the firmest tether to reality.
- Elegant Classical Musician: Styles herself as one of these, despite specializing in an electronic instrument.
- Emotionless Girl: Slides into this, complete with a Creepy Monotone and the occasional Dull Eyes of Unhappiness when under a great deal of emotional distress. According to Shion herself, this is how she 'truly' is beneath her egotistical facade, although her self-perception may be off.
- Family Theme Naming: Everyone in the Tsuzuki family has sound/music-based names.
- Gratuitous English: Frequently. Shion believes it makes her sound more erudite and sophisticated, but all it's done so far is get her made fun of.
- Height Angst: Shion's lack of height (she's 5'3") is a large source of annoyance for her, to the point that she regularly wears lifts in her shoes in order to appear taller.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: While Shion initially presented as being unconditionally in love with herself, she begins showing flashes of this instead as the game goes on, usually when something doesn't go the way she wanted it to go. By the time the third trial rolls around, it's become clear that her usual egotistical act hides a truly immense amount of self-loathing.
- It's All About Me: Incredibly self-centered, constantly placing her own needs and desires above those of everyone else, with her older sister being the sole exception to this rule. She also enjoys making a great deal of noise about how awesome she is, at least most of time.
- Lethal Chef: As expected from someone who had never cooked a day in her life prior to the start of the game. Pretty much everything she attempts to cook ends up partially carbonized.
- Mad Libs Catchphrase: "____ is one of my thousands of skills!", with ____ usually referring to whatever she's doing at the moment or has been asked to do.
- Meaningful Name: One note she has directly played off of at least once, referring to herself as "the player of the poetic song that weaves throughout the old capital."
- Photographic Memory: A variation - she possesses absolute pitch, allowing her to identify any sound that has reached her ears before based solely on its associated tone.
- Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Ridiculously wealthy, rather deficient in conventional wisdom.
- Sheltered Aristocrat: Although she’ll try to downplay it, Shion's sheltered and privileged upbringing has left her woefully ill-prepared for a number of matters, to the point of leaving her completely clueless about how to do simple household chores.
- Something about a Rose: Possesses a strong affinity for them, as anyone who steps into her room will discover.
- Stepford Smiler: Shion at least feels herself to be the "empty" variation of the trope, often referring to herself as cold and hollow beneath her constructed facade in narration.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Shion was never a wholly pleasant person, but she has become noticeably more vindictive and prickly by the time the fifth trial rolls around, which is rightly called out by several other students.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Cheese, especially the pricier varieties.
- What Is This Feeling?: Shion isn't used to forming emotional attachments to anyone who isn't her sister and is therefore both confused and frustrated by the genuine distress that the week 4 case, which ends with the deaths of two people she had grown attached to, ends up causing her.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Shion is decidedly uncomfortable and on-edge in the presence of intoxicated people due to past experiences, as revealed during the chapter 2 trial. She is also mentioned as possessing a fear of both insects and arachnids early on. Naturally, both of these end up on full display during the chapter 3 motive.
- Youthful Freckles: Has these clustered on the bridge of her nose.
Siyu Zhen
Super High School Level Lion Dancer
He is the victim in chapter 3, impaled with a sword. The following chapter reveals that Ayano killed him.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Appears to think that Monobear killed Jaejin and generally acts in a cloudcuckoolanderish way.
- Cowardly Lion: Both literally as he’s the SHSL Lion Dancer and figuratively as he’s likely to step up when it counts, despite being somewhat quiet.
- Keet: He’s rather cheery at times.
- Meaningful Name: "Siyu" can be read as "Thinking of the World" - fitting for someone who tries his best to look after everyone and ensure their safety. Subverted after his actions result in Haruka being executed, but it genuinely seems that he's upset over his actions.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Feels this ways after the first trial, where his actions result in Haruka being falsely accused of murder and executed.
- Nice Guy: Very kind and considerate to everyone he meets. Subverted after his actions result in Haruka's execution, doubly subverted... sort of after he goes on a quest for redemption.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: He shows up to the investigation and first trial dressed as Emiko Shiromura from Doubt Academy Alpha, complete with purple face paint and makeup, and nobody appears to comment on it besides in internal monologue.
Solnceslav Vilyovich “Sun” Shishkin
Super High School Level Nephologist
Born to one of the richest families in Russia, raised by his mega-wealthy elder sisters and his even wealthier parents – he’s had the world as his oyster before he could understand what oysters even were, and yet the skies above are all that have called to him. He watched windows through his school days and ran models through his nights, and his resulting pet project became the base of the Welki Forecast Model (WFM): a private weather forecasting system run on the Shishkin clan’s own Welki supercomputer. The WFM alone predicted the “guerrilla rainstorm” that flooded Settsu, Japan a year ago, six hours in advance. The WFM alone could have saved the country money, lives, had its early warnings been heeded!
As such, the WFM has received plenty of attention from the public since — as has the boy himself. The “Welki kid” has spent the past year making media appearances, and each appearance reveals something new and surprising about him: his exact height, his rich-and-famous family, his firsthand experience with a lightning strike… all revealed and discussed with a winning TV smile on his face. But what he loves discussing most of all are clouds — which is why he’s now ready to take his place in Hope’s Peak as the SHSL Nephologist. But who is this boy? None other than Solnceslav Shishkin!

Tobio Shinohara
Super High School Level Ocularist
He meets his demise during the third investigation and is discovered shortly after the trial.
…Or not. As it turns out, he’s this Killing Game’s Mastermind.

- Dying Alone: He didn't even have a murderer to keep him company in his final moments. The “dying” part is later revealed to be subverted.
- Eating Lunch Alone: By choice. Tobio refuses to eat in front of other people, claiming it's messy and undignified. Because of the difficulties of finding time to himself, especially after Ri becomes his roommate, Tobio remains low-energy throughout the game.
- Eye Motifs: Wears an eye clip in his hair and an eye pin on his shirt.
- Hair Flip: Has a tendency to do this when he's being dismissive of someone.
- High-Voltage Death: Dies during the third investigation after wandering off the path in Storm Forest. …Not really.
- House Husband: Due to his mother's blindness, Tobio has had to take on all of the household chores, including cooking and cleaning. After the game ends, he moves in with Si-Hoo and continues these duties, as Si-Hoo is unable to cook.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: Has a fondness for pink, values beauty above all else, and isn't afraid to partake in traditionally "feminine" activities.

- The Perfectionist: If he messes up at anything, he won't just correct his mistake, he'll start the task over completely.
- Perpetual Frowner: He never smiles. Ever.
- Together in Death: Subverted. Though Si-Hoo and Tobio both die in their respective games and subsequently become an Official Couple, it turns out that the "living" kids are trapped inside a virtual reality world, and the dead kids have actually just woken up in the real world.
- Tsundere: Good luck getting him to admit any sign of attachment. He’s rather bad at it.
- Unknown Rival: Unbeknownst to Setsuna, Tobio considers her his mortal enemy. This changes during the first investigation, though he does lock her in the Ice House, exposing her to the dangerous chemicals used to kill Jaejin. After death, he sheds any animosity he may have felt towards Setsuna, even going so far as to refer to her as "Setsuna-chan".
- V-Sign: Flashes one to Kei immediately following the culprit reveal in chapter two. Also utilized in the multitude of selfies he's taken over the course of the game.

- Ambiguously Human: It isn't made explicitly clear just what's happening in the second half of Ri's punishment, but between his odd-colored blood, his fast healing, and the fact that he can't be killed with anything short of decapitation, something is clearly off about him.
