Ibuki Mioda

Ibuki Mioda, also known as Ultimate Musician, is a character from the Danganronpa series.
== Charactah Account ==
A girl from an all-girls high school who played guitar in a popular "light-music club" school band, whose hit single "After-School Poyoyon Hour" sold a million copies. However, she left the band due to creative differences and is now pursuing a solo career. Despite her punk-ish appearance, Ibuki is a very friendly and energetic person whose antics sometimes border the limits of comprehensibility. She is the second victim of Chapter 3, strangled to death by Mikan and then hung.
At first, Ibuki is a bit shocking in bold and unique personality and appearance. She is one of the most upbeat people out of her classmates. She is very energetic and loves to talk, though she almost always ends up going off on bizarre, unrelated tangents. She forgets things quite quickly, so she tries to write memos to help her remember.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Ibuki" means "a sole breath" or "merely breathing". This could be a reference to her demise later in the game by strangulation.
* Ibuki's last name, "Mioda", could be translated as "rice field of the waterway".
** Each kanji on her name is directly taken from the 4 protagonists of K-On!.
** She also shares the same birthday with the main character of K-On!, Yui Hirasawa, which is on November 27th.
* While Ibuki's title in the official English translation is the Ultimate Musician, her original title, Super High School Level Light Music Club Member is actually much more specific. "Light music" is a very common after school club activity available in many high schools across Japan. Not to be confused with the music genre know as light music whose origins are in late 19th century Britain, the Japanese "light music" ("keiongaku") genre is something similar to pop music.
** Despite her success as a light music performer as proven by her title, Ibuki's original music, some of which she performs in the beginning of Chapter 3, reveals her musical preferences to be much closer to the heavy metal genre.
* There are currently two known songs from Ibuki's solo repertoire: "From Me To You Too" and "I Squeezed Out The Baby But I Have No Idea Who The Father Is"; the former she performs in the beginning of chapter 3.
* The way Ibuki calls her classmates in the Japanese version, using their first names and adding "-chan" (i.e. Hajime-chan, Hiyoko-chan, Nekomaru-chan), is considered the stereotypical way for girls to call their close female friends in Japanese. Considering her friendly nature, it is highly possible that Ibuki calling both her male and female classmates this particular way is due to a habit she picked up back at her previous high school (where all of her classmates were girls).
* Other characters who also speak in third person within the series besides Ibuki are Monaca Towa, Gonta Gokuhara, Angie Yonaga, and Tenko Chabashira (the latter two in Japanese only).
* Ibuki is shown to have attraction to people of the same gender.
* During the Chapter 2 Trial, when she was told she is Girl C, Ibuki says "I guess I'll 'C' U Next Tuesday", which is a song by Pop Artist, Ke$ha. Additionally, that statement contains an obscene acronym.
* In her last Free Time Events, Ibuki recites the beat-box portion of "Freak on a Leash" by American rock band, Korn and breaks the 4th wall by saying, "After all this is the last event".
* The 'X' on her sign during and after Chapter 3 resembles a pair of drumsticks.
* One of Ibuki's sprites is a reference to Pinocchio.
* In the Island Mode, it was revealed that Ibuki has screamed inside six different libraries and now isn't allowed to enter any of them.
* Ibuki is included in the collaboration of Danganronpa 3 x Houkai Gakuen. In the game, a chibi version of Ibuki is seen riding on the top of the player character's head.
* Ibuki's Japanese voice actress, Ami Koshimizu, also voiced Suzuko Kashiki in Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc.
* Ibuki is one of the DLC characters for Crypt of the Necrodancer.
