Tsurugi Hitomoshi

==Summary==
Tsurugi Hitomoshi is a character featured in Danganronpa Kirigiri. His title during his time at the Hope's Peak Academy was the Ultimate Rock Climber (lit. Super High School Level Rock Climber).
At some point before the events of Danganronpa Kirigiri, he turned his climbing into some sort of performance art, climbing historical monuments and buildings such as the Eiffel Tower and Angkor Wat, which caused him great backlash, and eventually led to him being exiled from the climbing community.
He appears as an assassin/hitman in Danganronpa Kirigiri: Volume 3, coupled with two other unrelated hitmen that were hired by Gekka Ryuuzouji, who had suspicions about Rei Mikigami's true identity being Licorne in disguise, and wanted to confirm this for himself.
