Male Students

Hiroto Uemori

Ultimate DDR Player

When hearing about the E Sports world, one of the first people you’ll think about first is Hiroto Uemori, the third time world champion on DDR, who dyes his hair a different color after each victory. The 19 year old boy from Osaka has been competing in E Sports since he was 13, quickly becoming a professional DDR player. After his third consecutive win in the world championships, Hope’s Peak Academy scouted him.

• Real Men Wear Pink: Owns a stuffed penguin named PJ, which he occasionally balances on his head.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: His status as the first victim cuts short any future interactions with him.

Haise Otsuki

Ultimate Radiologist

Haise was raised by his grandparents in a rural part of Japan. As a child he was very sickly and spent most of his time in a hospital, during this time he became fascinated with medical sciences, especially radiology. He decided to leave his grandparents to spend time studying this in the city where medicine is more advanced. He still checks up on them of course.

He towers over the rest of the students at 6'5 (195cm) and is in fact, a cyclops.

The third victim of the killing game, dead in the lab, with glass shards embedded into him.

• Cyclops: What his bangs hide.
• Bound and Gagged: Minus the gagged part, he is handcuffed and placed in the Hall of Fame as of chapter 3 on Miyako's orders, after witnessing his behavior in the lab. He is eventually freed after apologizing to her.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Shows odd behaviour in many situations, much to the dismay of the other students. Lampshaded by Takahiko, who wonders how smart he actually is, seeing his talent.
• Distracted by the Sexy: Falls into this briefly during the first trial, thanks to Kaiba. The others don't share the same sentiment.
• Driven to Suicide: It's revealed that his death is this, having requested Ayato to kill him.
• Genius Breeding Act: Haise's initial reasoning for being trapped, much to the horror of those listening.
• I Just Want to Be Loved: Expresses this to Katashi after being rejected by Yuudai, blaming it on his features, and expressed fear that he was doomed to be alone for the rest of his life.
• I Just Want to Have Friends
• Intoxication Ensues: Consumes a strange pink liquid (that he made himself, no less) in the lab, only to get extremely out of it, acting like a giggly child. It takes the combined effort of Miyako, Takahiko and Katashi (and a tazer jab by Shirokuma) to drag him back to the Hall of Fame. It is later revealed that it was indeed Haise's attempt at creating alcohol, which Katashi calls him out for.
• Forceful Kiss: Gives one to Yuudai in an attempt to convey his feelings towards him. It doesn't work, and Haise is harshly rejected.
• Engaging Conversation: All of his crushes have started this way, with him falling for them even without a single conversation.
• Manchild: Becomes this after consuming the strange liquid he made, which turned out to be alcohol. No one is amused at this behavior at all.
• Self-Deprecation
• Shipper on Deck: Actively tried to play cupid between Yuuto and Ryotei. While they do get together eventually, neither of them were impressed with Haise's attempts.
• All Love Is Unrequited: All of his love interests have shot him down for varying reasons, with Yuudai/Ayato being most notable, as seen above. He later holds some affection towards Takahiko after the lab incident, much to the latter's disgust.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Has this perception about himself. Unfortunately for him, this is likely proven true after the incident in the lab.

Kaiba Tetsuo

Ultimate Politician

Son of Japan’s Minister of Defense, Juzo Tetsuo, Kaiba’s grown up in the cutthroat world of Political bullshit, and elitism. Known mostly for his bad puns, and silver tongue; Kaiba is both the life and death of the party. He is often thought to be untrustworthy due to his intimidating appearance of green hair and sharp teeth, he tends to pass at least the teeth off as his genetics; as for his hair and why he’s dyed it, he refuses to answer, as does his father. It’s also been rumored there’s something wrong with his eyes, though no one can prove this as his eyes are almost always squinted. Regardless of his looks, he’s been known to get things done at his current High School as President of his class; the means of which are usually said to be ‘classified’.

Recently speaking alongside his father about the Nation’s security and state of the defense force, it’s rumored, and hinted heavily at by his father, he’ll be attending Hope’s Peak Academy next semester. Whether because of actual talent or his father’s connections is unclear.

• Cordon Bleugh Chef: It's not known if it's intentional, but his special fruit salad (or Tetsalad) had turkey, turnip and chocolate sauce as part of the ingredients...Mirabel struggled to finish it, and Yuudai was pretty close to having a seizure. He's also added rock candy to coffee before.
• Eyes Always Shut: For some reason, his eyes are usually squinted. He opens them later during the first trial - they're white against a black sclera, much to the shock of the others, and strangely, the attraction of Haise.
• Lethal Chef: Downplayed, but his food doesn't taste too great.
• Pungeon Master: Much to the exasperation of many who find them of poor taste, since he tends to crack them during BD As and trials.
• Scary Teeth: ...How? Just how?

Takashi Akagawa

Ultimate Caretaker

Takashi Akagawa was finally scouted as the SHSL Caretaker after many attempts in trying to get through to him and the mistakes the scout made due to how different Takashi himself was like when dealing with people who were not kids.

Yuudai Nanami (Ayato Tsumura)

Ultimate Historian Ultimate Shinobi

At the age of seven, Yuudai was interested in his teacher’s seminars on Japanese history, he would often read more about it as soon as he got home; neglecting every other subject in favor of learning more about the history of his country. His parents noticed this behavior and tried to get Yuudai to study his other subjects. It ultimately failed as Yuudai’s scores were mediocre as compared to his almost perfect scores in history. His parents decided to pin their hope on his obsession with history.

After that, following into his early teen years, his entire life revolved around Japanese history. His teachers took notice of this and invited him to speak at various seminars to educate and interpret Japanese history to the public. In this event, Yuudai was scouted by a famous historian traveling around seeking young talent. The presentation Yuudai prepared was used a source for an article that historian later writes months later.

Hope’s Peak Academy took notice of Yuudai’s prowess and his name raising up in the world of Japanese historians and sent him letter to enroll into Hope’s Peak Academy as the Ultimate Historian. Revealed to be the Ultimate Shinobi, with Yuudai Nanami being a false name.

• I Just Want to Have Friends: Played with. He expressions a desire to have them, but is "reconsidering possibilities", much to the confusion of some.
• Not Afraid to Die: He admits this is the reason he was so quick to volunteer himself in the first trial, though he admits that it's not a smart way of thinking. Afterwards, he reveals the true reason for this; because he faces the idea of death everything in his life as a shinobi.
  Yuudai: ...deep down, at the moment, I used my lack of fear of death to empower my words because I much prefer everyone else to live rather than me.
  Ayato: Very few shinobi return from their tasks and their deaths are often. They do not have time to grief, there is no time for sorrow, only acceptance of their peers' fate. They will openly give their lives to their clan and will expect nothing in return. All shinobi realize this and accept this as their way of life.

Yuuto Takuimaru (Yuuto Yotsuba)

Ultimate Skateboarder

A few months ago videos of incredible skateboard tricks have been popping up all over the internet, all performed by the same, unknown person that appeared basically out of nowhere.

The origin of all the fuzz? A 16 year old boy from Shibuya, named "Yuuto Takuimaru" manages to fascinate the entire world of extreme sports with his sudden occurrence and marvelous display of skills, all while smiling at the cameras and exclaiming cocky phrases. Unlike other people of his trade, Yuuto prefers to display his talent on the streets instead of participating in contests, since he "[...] likes the sense of freedom while riding and the fresh wind blowing past (him)" also he thinks that contests and the like are "for posers" and thus he sticks to the underground skating culture of Shibuya.

But only for so long, since a PR announcement confirmed that Yuuto Takuimaru was enrolling into the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy to further his amazing talent until returning to the streets of his hometown.

Besides being good at skateboarding, he also enjoys creating graffiti.

Life fell short when he died mid-trial of chapter 3, due to assumed overdosage of PTSD medication.

• Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Stated on multiple occasions that he is opposed to a leadership system as it was proposed and discussed. He even participated in arguments concerning the establishment of a governing system among the camp dwellers, sparking several fights with Shizuka.

• Nobody Touches the Hair: Exaggerated, as he does not let anyone even touch his beanie.
  • Subverted by Ryotei, as Yuuto allowed him to touch his beanie under the condition that he makes him dinner.
• Ship Sinking: Thanks to the events of chapter 2, due to Ryotei's death.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Has a tendency to use harsh vocabulary in many situations.

Female Students

Mica

Ultimate Runecaster

Mica was born and raised in Mikasa City, Hokkaido. While her father was Japanese, her mother was an American who moved to Japan. Because of this mix of nationalities, she tends to like things from both Japan and America, even though she's never been to the latter before.

The family moved to Kyoto after Mica turned ten. She got to learn about the history of the city and took an interest in both local and foreign religions. That's where she discovered runecasting. Though she doesn't necessarily align herself with any belief set, she loves doing readings for people. Maybe intuition, maybe ESP, but she somehow manages to get things right pretty commonly, causing HPA to take a notice in her talent.

Surprisingly, her last name is not known, though she claims her full name to be 'Mica-Mica'.

• But Not Too Foreign: She's half Japanese, half American.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Some of her theories during trials...are questionable, to say the least.

• Fortune Teller: Her talent.
• Game Show Appearance: What she believes her reality is from chapter 1 onward.

• Juggling Loaded Guns: By accident! She didn't know it still had a shot left!
• Morality Pet: Is probably this to Takashi.
• Nobody's That Dumb: She's not exactly stupid but she tends to find herself sometimes doing stupid things.

• Plucky Girl
• Selective Obliviousness: It's a game show, guys!
• Super Gullible: Tends to be this a lot, but not entirely.
• Tarot Motifs: Or Runes, in this case.
• The Cutie
• The Ditz: Shows shades of this. Who just takes a gun from someone else and plays with it!?
• The Klutz: Not all the time, but she does have a tendency to fumble her key when entering her room and mess up in cooking, even having dropped a pot once.

Ami Ishikawa

Ultimate Classic Pianist

The daughter of one of Japan’s most famed orchestral directors and his orchestra’s pianist, Ami has been playing music her entire life. With her parents as her teachers, at least at first, she had her first professional piano recital at age 6 and has been performing since. Though she prefers to take after her mother by playing the piano, she has been trained to play virtually any instrument found in the orchestra, and has even recorded a series of CDs by herself, recording multiple tracks while playing each instrument separately, for which she received the title “The One Woman Orchestra”. As a performer, she receives request after request to fill in for orchestras all over Japan, and there are even rumors of European interest in her abilities after she graduates.

Emiko Matsukata

Ultimate Ventriloquist

Emiko Matsukata is very well-known throughout Japan for her extraordinary ventriloquist skills. Her act consists of the sweet and lovable Emiko conversing with her foul mouthed smart ass of a puppet Komachan. Audiences were shocked and bewildered when they first witnessed this sweet girl saying such foul things. Her puppet was so different from her personality, that audiences forgot they were watching a girl controlling a puppet. They truly believed they were watching an interaction between two people. Komachan’s cartoon like appearance juxtaposed its crude personality and shocked audiences when they heard him speak. She started off performing at small venues but eventually worked her way up to large theaters. She was recruited by Hope's Peak Academy to attend the esteemed institution after a scout witnessed one of her performances.

Other: Her puppet Komachan is the opposite of her personality. He is a wise cracking, smart ass with a crude personality. Emiko talks back and forth with Komachan on a daily basis, he never leaves her side. She considers Komachan to be her big brother, he watches over her and protects her.

Keres Myron

Ultimate Pen Spinner Ultimate Assassin

Keres Myron, born in Scotland. A regular student initially, she had developed quite the aptitude for pen-spinning without realizing it, to the point of mesmerizing her peers and teachers unknowingly with her skills. A single flick is enough to get her going for several hours straight if needed. After this fact was pointed out to her, Keres decided to take it to a competitive level.

Her absurd skill at performing tricks with up to three pens at once in a marvelous feat of dexterity has led to her winning town and city competitions. Unfortunately as it isn’t an official sport, she never gained any real fame outside of small articles.

Still, Hope’s Peak had their eye on her, and she was scouted eventually to join as the SHSL Pen Spinner, thanks to her incredible ability to balance objects on her hand precisely with perfect balance, and shifting them around in tricky positions with her fingers alone.

• Last Disrespects: After the conclusion of trial 1, she bluntly asked if she could have Hiroto's penguin, much to the disturbance of Katashi. Later in chapter 4, she lodged butterfly knives into the portraits of the dead students, claiming it as her way of giving respects.
• No Social Skills
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The moment she finds out someone brought a gun to the campfire, she fights with Takashi over it, even pushing away Mica when she tries to intervene. Katashi calling her out is what snaps her out of her violent state.

• Shrinking Violet

Mirabel Leclair

Ultimate Lion Tamer

The young lion tamer from Lyon and one of the Starlight Circus’ brightest stars, Mirabel Leclair draws in crowds from all around. Born and raised in France, when her talent was brought to the attention of the owner of the traveling circus, despite her young age of fourteen, he took a chance that she would become one of his biggest draws and invited her to join them.

The traveling circus has brought her around across most of Europe, her act selling out wherever she went. In addition to performing shows with them, it’s known that she personally handles the care for the animals under her command. It’s said even the most uncooperative beast will follow any command she gives after only a short amount of time with her. In her off time between shows she likes to explore the city they’re in, take in the sights, meet new people and try anything that might be fun.

Surprisingly, she is a drinker, and occasionally smokes, despite her age. She is also a vegetarian. Found unconscious and bloodied atop of the stairs to her bungalow in chapter 2, but is not the victim of the trial. Instead, she is the blackened, and she is executed by being mauled by lions.

• Book Dumb: Thought that dihydrogen monoxide was a poisonous substance with Keres...until Katashi informed her it was water. Downplayed, as since she took her classes in her third language (Japanese), she often had trouble.
• Death by Irony: She's a lion tamer, yet died at the hands of the same big cats.
• Lethal Chef: Her attempt at making pasta...didn't go very well, to say the least.

Miyako Ryoumiya

Ultimate Forensic Sketch Artist

Miyako Ryoumiya, daughter of a famous Italian realism artist, started as a forensic sketch artist when she was relatively young, only 13-years of age. Her uncle was a police inspector who would frequently talk to her about the crimes that he would help solve, and our overly interested heroine would constantly try push him for more and more details.

One night, her uncle managed to sneak Miyako into the police station so she could explore with interest, and she discovered an occupied room when she wandered off. In this room, she met a man that was to be convicted for a mugging. After the man claimed he didn't commit the mugging to her, Miyako took out her sketch pad and drew a portrayal of the real criminal that the man told her was their real culprit. Whilst her Uncle was initially mad at her for wandering off, her sketch intrigued him. Using Miyako's sketch, the actual culprit was caught the day after, and the innocent man she helped was able to go free.

Since that incident, her Uncle brought Miyako to meet with more and more witnesses to crimes, and Miyako provided her Uncle with as many accurate sketches as she could, which resulted in an arrest every single time. Due to her excellent performance, Miyako was allowed to work with her uncle after-school at the station, and news of not only her artistic talent, but her impressive skills in finding criminals grew and grew.

Soon Miyako was not only sketching appearances of culprits, but full crime scenes based on the witness's accounts, and she often managed to go to crime scenes to recreate technical drawings of the scene to stunning detail. She also sketches more morbid drawings, such as skeletal, decomposed, or mutilated images, she can reconstruct crime scenes, and artistically enhances missing details from photographs and beyond. Miyako has prided herself ever since on the criminology skills she developed as a forensic sketch artist, and believes herself to be amongst the best of crime fighters, along with the police.
