Teruteru Hanamura

Teruteru Hanamura, also known as Ultimate Cook, is a character from the Danganronpa series.
== Charactah Account ==
A master of the culinary arts, who prefers to be called a "Ultimate Cook" because he thinks it sounds more sophisticated. Teruteru has as much passion for romance as he does for his cooking, and spends most of his time on the island chasing skirts. He becomes the culprit of Chapter 1 after he figures out that Nagito is plotting murder and tries to kill him first, accidentally killing Byakuya instead. He is found guilty and executed by being turned into a snack and "deep fried" in a volcano.
Teruteru is very lewd and usually can be seen hitting on anyone near him, male and female alike, often to the point of sexual harassment. Similar to Hifumi Yamada from the previous game, he can react to the slightest innuendo that surfaces in a conversation. However, he goes much further in his behavior than Hifumi, as he is completely fine with touching others without their consent and he's even been known to drug people with his food (like Hajime during the last Free Time Event) and try to take advantage of gullible ones (like trying to trick Sonia into sucking "poison" out of him). This, along with the fact that he very openly speaks about sexual things he's into, makes the others sometimes feel uncomfortable and grossed out around him.

== Trivia ==
* "Teruteru" means “radiance” (repeated twice) in Japanese, while "Hanamura" means “village of flowers”.
* A typo in the opening movie for the PSP version of the Japanese game writes his surname as "Hanamaru". The Vita version corrects this. "Hanamaru" means "circle of flowers".
* Despite Teruteru stating that he was born in Azabu and raised in southern Aoyama, both of which are notably upscale areas in Tokyo, when he is agitated he speaks with a heavy accent that is not part of Tokyo's standard Japanese dialect. Hiyoko notices this, and happily announces that he's a liar for it.
** In the English localization, Teruteru's speaks with a heavy country accent when agitated. His accent is reminiscent of the distinctive Cajun accent of Louisiana.
* Teruteru is very openly interested in both men and women, which has been shown in multiple scenes:
** In Chapter 1 of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, during the swimming party on the beach, Teruteru asks if anyone would like a "rub down" with suntan lotion. Nekomaru Nidai volunteers, and Teruteru replies: "Rubbing lotion on a muscular man...? All right, no problem! My tastes are pretty open, you know!"
** If Hajime initiates a Free Time Event with Teruteru, one of the possible introductions is: "Your body just can't live without me? Mmhmhmhm, you're such a naughty boy!". Another possible introduction is "That's fine with me! How about we start by getting to know each other? If you'd like, we can get to know each other with our bodies. Why don't you come to my cottage!?"
** If Hajime gives Teruteru a present he enjoys, one of the possible responses is: "Thank you Hajime! I'll return the favor with my body...!"
** In Danganronpa 3 - Side: Despair - Episode 01, Teruteru is tied up and hung from the ceiling by Chisa Yukizome, and says "G-getting tied up by a lady in an a-apron..." but she is quickly replaced by Nekomaru shouting at him, and Teruteru continues "It's a man now? Oh! I can work with this!"
** In the booklet included in the special edition Japanese BluRay release of Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, Teruteru is described as: "A chef whose passion for sex matches or perhaps even exceeds his passion for food. [...] He seems to be okay with anyone ranging from small girls to older ladies, though it seems like he is also down for men as well."
* Additionally, although it is not considered canon, in Island Mode, Teruteru flirts with Hajime many times:
** Teruteru and Nekomaru are the only two male characters who acknowledge the trips with Hajime as dates (other than Kazuichi Soda, who jokingly calls them "man-dates").
** If Hajime suggests exploring on a Military Park date, Teruteru responds: "Really...? *Sigh* I have no choice... I can’t compete with your curiosity... But in exchange... you need to hold my hand, okay!?"
** If Hajime suggests going to the haunted house on an Amusement Park date, Teruteru responds: "Hmm... It’s not like I’m scared or anything... But if anything happens, all I have to do is leap into Hajime's strong arms... Ah, if I think about it like that, I guess I can do it. Okay, let's go inside!"
** If Hajime says "this looks like fun" on an Amusement Park date, Teruteru responds: "When you come to a place like this, all you gotta do is not think about anything and enjoy it to the fullest! Sooo, why don’t you free yourself from the constraints of daily life and show me your birthday suit!?"
** If Hajime suggests eating popcorn on a Movie Theater date, Teruteru responds: "Of course! Is there even a point to eating popcorn outside of a movie theater!? Especially in the dark, when two people reach into the popcorn bag and their hands brush against each other... That's why popcorn is so important! It's what causes situations like that! Now then, why don't we both go sit in the dark together and do some feeling around for ourselves?"
** If Hajime suggests taking their clothes off on a beach date, Teruteru responds: "Hmhm... Wow Hajime, how bold of you. Fine then! Show me everything you've got! Just like the day you were born... and then, come leap into my arms...!"
* Teruteru's execution mimics that of Leon Kuwata from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Both him and Leon were dragged off from the trial by a chain around the neck, then strapped onto a pole in a symbolic fashion.
* After Chapter 1, the "X" on Teruteru's sign is shaped like the food court symbol of a fork and knife crossing each other, in reference to his Ultimate title.
* Teruteru screams "AVRIL LAVIGNE!" when cornered in the Class Trial. Avril Lavigne is a Canadian singer/songwriter and actress.
** During his Panic Talk Action, one of his remarks is "P-PARIS HILTON!" - referring to Paris Whitney Hilton, a female American socialite, actress, and entertainer.
** In Danganronpa 3 (Despair Arc), he makes reference to Taylor Swift, a singer who has blonde hair much like Paris Hilton.
** In Danganronpa 3 (Side: Hope), he screams "Justin Bieber!" as Akane runs past him. Justin Bieber is also a Canadian singer and songwriter.
* Teruteru is referenced in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls by a restaurant named Pig★Boy. The logo shows a pig dressed almost identically to Teruteru, even sporting the same hair. The restaurant itself could be a reference to Teruteru's execution, which is called Tonkatsu no Hanamura in the original Japanese release - since tonkatsu is fried pork cutlets.
* Teruteru shares his English voice actor, Todd Haberkorn, with Korekiyo Shinguji.
* Teruteru's Japanese voice actor, Jun Fukuyama, also voiced Tarō Kurosaki in Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc.
