Korekiyo Shinguuji

Korekiyo Shinguuji, also known as Ultimate Anthropologist and Kiyo, is a character from the Danganronpa series.
== Charactah Account ==
A person who's been all over the world studying folklore. Seeing the adversities found in poor areas of the world has led to him believe that hardship can bring out the true beauty of mankind, so he eagerly observes the events of the killing game.
At the end of Chapter 3, it's revealed that Korekiyo had an incestuous relationship with and eventually developed a female Tulpa based on his late sister. He is also the culprit of Chapter 3, killing Angie Yonaga after she catches him setting up a death trap that he would then use to stab Tenko Chabashira in the back.

== Trivia ==
* In the official art book, Korekiyo is stated to strongly dislike Cleansing Air Freshener and gets furious whenever someone uses it, because it apparently repels ghosts and paranormal entities due to the holy water mixed in. This seems to explain his dislike for air conditioning.
* His favorite myth is the Medusa, knowing her original status as a mother goddess who was later depicted as a hideous monster, and believing that this is because developed human society begun to think about overcoming nature instead of being dependent of nature goddesses. He also likes the story because it shows that people can't run away from death no matter how much they overcome the nature.
* Korekiyo has romantic feelings exclusively for his sister and claims they were in a relationship, but this is not confirmed and could be a delusion caused by his mental state. It's also possible that all of these memories were created by Team Danganronpa and his real relationship with his sister, if he even has one, could be very different.
* Korekiyo is the second character in the series to have a split personality, the first being Toko Fukawa. Unlike her however, his split personality is more like a tulpa than a dissociative identity disorder. He also only kills women, which is somewhat similar to Genocide Jack, who only kills men.
** Korekiyo and Genocide Jack's similarities are acknowledged during a one scene in the non-canon bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan, with neither being the other's "type", and both appearing to be vaguely aware of what the other does to the people they are interested in.
* Korekiyo has shown some similarities to Norman Bates from Psycho, including being in love with a female family member and having a split personality based on said female family member.
* He appears to be sadomasochistic and has a strong liking of BDSM, explaining why he likes straw rope. Even his mask resembles a bondage hood, or a Gimp mask.
* He is the only blackened who's called out by Monokuma for his crimes and whose ghost is shown in the execution.
* His Class Trial portrait shows fumes instead of "X", possibly referring to his execution and his background as an anthropologist.
* Korekiyo's murders bear some similarities to Mikan Tsumiki's murders in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: both cases are double murders, occur during the third chapter of the game, and are conducted as a result of an obsessive romantic relationship.
** While Mikan begs the protagonist to forgive them after being convicted, Korekiyo conversely demands the protagonist to apologize.
* Korekiyo is the only blackened that sides with the protagonist in the Scrum Debate of the trial where they are the culprit; if you count Kaede's decoy protagonist role as one of an actual protagonist and not a pure blackened
* Korekiyo's Japanese voice actor, Kenichi Suzumura, is married to Maki Harukawa's Japanese voice actress Maaya Sakamoto.
* Korekiyo shares his English voice actor, Todd Haberkorn, with Teruteru Hanamura in Danganronpa series.
* In a poll hosted by MyNavi, fans voted Korekiyo the 13th most popular Danganronpa V3 student.
* Japanese gaming magazine Dengeki from April 27th, 2017 to May 22nd, 2017 held two popularity polls, one that was voted electronically and the other via post cards. Korekiyo was voted the 7th most popular student in the electronic poll, and the least popular through post cards.
