His unzipped, dark green jacket goes down to his knees and has a strange pattern of red squares that gives him a dark and ghostly appearance. His optimistic and easygoing smile and fluffy white hair make it seem like he is just fine, however.

About the Characters

Kyoko Kirigiri is the main heroine of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and is a fan favorite in character popularity polls. She is a very mysterious girl who has amnesia. Because of this, she hides her emotions and keeps her classmates at arm’s length, as she feels she cannot trust them. After some time had passed, she grows to trust Makoto Naegi, where she shows her logical and level headed nature, which helps Makoto uncover the game’s mysteries. Nagito Komaeda is a character in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and seems to have a connection to the previous main character, Makoto, making him another character that is often ranked highly in popularity polls. Nagito shares Makoto’s optimism, polite, easygoing nature, and his bright smile. Having said that, Nagito has some unique characteristics of his own. He is often self-deprecating and sees his carefree nature as pessimistic. Nagito’s sense of hope that Makoto had is much more deranged, almost reaching points of insanity at times. Celestia, who is known as Celeste for short, is a character that appears alongside Kyoko in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, but that’s all the two characters have in common. Celeste is a gambler by heart, which is very reflective in her personality. Her calm and collected character is just a facade to hide her true colors: a selfish girl that is quick to judge and not afraid to manipulate her classmates in order to win Monokuma’s game of death.
