Kyoko Kirigiri

Kyoko Kirigiri the deuteragonist of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and one of the 6 main characters of the Danganronpa franchise as a whole. She is the Ultimate Detective and the daughter of Jin Kirigiri, the previous Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy.
In the game, she is voiced by Yōko Hikasa in the Japanese version, and by Erika Harlacher in the English version. While in the anime, she is voiced by Yōko Hikasa in the Japanese version, and by Caitlin Glass in the English version.
==Appearance==
Kyoko is rather tall for her age. She is 19 but believed herself to be 17 due to memory loss. She has purple eyes and a pale complexion. She has pale lilac hair that she wears adorned with a braid on the side held in place by a black ribbon. She is always seen wearing a dark-purple collared jacket over a white blouse and tie, a short skirt and tall boots that reach her knees. She never appears without her custom-made black gloves to conceal the scars on her hands from back when she was an amateur.
In Danganronpa 3, she becomes much older. She becomes 21 years old. Her hair is now styled in a pony-tail with two strands hanging lose. She wears a greenish jacket and the same gloves she wore as a teenager. Her shirt consists of a white blouse over a brown belt responsible for holding up a dull purple short skirt. She wears a brown satchel around her left leg and heeled boots that barely reach above her ankles.
==Personality==
A quiet, stoic and mysterious girl with amnesia, Kyoko is almost always seen with a very calm demeanor and tendency not to be fazed by even the most horrific of events, including body discoveries. She's one of the few students to always seen things objectively rather than immediately jumping to conclusions during class trials, a trait that makes her one of Makoto's most valuable allies. However, Kyoko becomes uncharacteristically sensitive when the topic of the Headmaster of Hope Peak’s Academy (who later is revealed to be her own father) is brought up, even losing her cool after Alter Ego mentioned the possibility of him being the mastermind of the killing game. She also dislikes it when others keep secrets from her.
Following the murder of Sayaka Maizono, she and Makoto developed a strong bond that grows into something resembling mutual attraction. When Makoto allows himself to be found guilty and executed in Chapter 5 (though Alter Ego saves him before it's too late), Kyoko realizes that she's been putting her own desires over his safety and risks her own life by diving head-first into the garbage chute to save Naegi.
Kyoko is exceptionally great at uncovering the motivations of other characters. With one such example occurring after the first trial where she goes to Naegi and tells him that she firmly believes that Sayaka actually wrote LEON on the wall to prove Makoto wasn't the culprit behind her death. Another example is in episode 5 of the anime adaptation of the first game, where she points out the broken ID card actually belonged to Chihiro Fujisaki, along with how Mondo Owada broke it to protect Chihiro's secret.
Behind her stone cold personality, Kirigiri is in actuality quite easy to emotionally upset, something she conceals using her strong will. Even in situations of calmness, she still sometimes allows her emotions get the best of her (as demonstrated when Alter Ego mentions her father, the former headmaster, as the potential mastermind of she and the other students' situations). Another instance of this is when Makoto refused to tell her about Sakura Ogami's odd rivalry with Monokuma later on.
==Biography==
Kyoko is the heir to a long line of detectives and the daughter of Hope's Peak Academy's headmaster, Jin Kirigiri. She was selected as a student of Hope's Peak Academy's 78th class, and given the title of the Ultimate Detective. She and her classmates become the victims of the Killing School Life and is forced to survive as her classmates collectively try to get away with murdering each other. The Mastermind wipes most of Kyoko's memories beforehand, including about her talent, to keep her from solving the mysteries of the Killing Game, though this proves for naught as Kyoko helps the protagonist Makoto defeat the mastermind in the end and escape Hope's Peak with four other classmates.
After escaping, Kyoko and her classmates join the Future Foundation, an organization dedicated to ending the Ultimate Despair and restoring the world to a peaceful state. Kyoko is appointed the leader of the 14th division, and helps orchestrate the rehabilitation of the Remnants of Despair along with Makoto.
