Hope's Peak Academy

Hope's Peak Academy is a two-year university based on the high school of the same name from the Danganronpa franchise. It was founded by Makoto Tamochi and was operational for four years prior to its destruction by Ultimate Despair at the onset of the Tragedy.
== Founding ==
Following the the 53 Incident, the world began to despair as the internationally beloved Danganronpa franchise came to an inglorious conclusion. In an attempt to restore hope to the world, Makoto Tamochi, a multi-billionaire with a Danganronpa obsession, decided to found a real-life version of the fictional school at the center of the series: Hope's Peak Academy.
In the franchise, Hope's Peak is a high school for extraordinarily talented teens, most of whom are Japanese. For his real-life counterpart, Makoto Tamochi founded a 2-year college. Typically, Hope's Peak students would attend two years of normal university classes, then transfer to Hope's Peak for their last two years. Tamochi's school also scouted internationally, finding talented students from around the world to invite to the school.
