==Canon Overview==
TBA
Togami's birthday is on May 5th. He effectively shares this birthday with the Ultimate Imposter. In Japan, this is Children's Day, a piece of trivia which may be referenced in fanworks. On Twitter and Pixiv, art tagged with #十神白夜生誕祭[year value] are commonly released on his birthday. More birthday tag listings can be found on Dangan Ronpa Birthday and Anniversary Tag List.
==Popular Tropes & Fanon==
All of the above are wrangled tags on Archive of Our Own. Other places where fandom lives may portray Togami with one or all of these attributes. Trans Male is his most common trans interpretation, though Trans Female is also common.
Togami can also arguably be called a Tumblr Sexyman. He is also popular for self-shipping works.

===Byakuya Togami in Dangan Ronpa 2: Goodbye Despair===
When western fans became aware in 2013 that the Byakuya Togami seen in Goodbye Despair was an imposter, many memes were made for the idea that with every new Dangan Ronpa entry, Togami would somehow participate in it. The release of Dangan Ronpa V3: Killing Harmony saw no serious return of Togami unfortunately.
