==Canon Overview==
[characterization, story role, further important appearances]
TBA
August 31st is his birthday. He shares this birthday with Hatsune Miku, a piece of trivia which may be referenced in fanworks. On Twitter and Pixiv, art tagged with #石丸清多夏生誕祭[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 Ishimaru with one or all of these attributes. Trans Male is his most common trans interpretation.
Ishimaru may be considered a woobie with how angsty fanworks can be for him, though this is supported by canon. He is also popular for self-shipping works.
==Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta==
===Kiyondo Ishida===
Kiyondo Ishida was made out of grief by Ishimaru. After the execution of Mondo Oowada, he supposedly fused souls with him to create an amalgamation of himself and Oowada, named Ishida in the Japanese release and Kiyondo in the official English translation. Fanworks may feature Ishida to keep with canon or explore AUs where he (they?) exists separately from Ishimaru. There are AUs where they are twins or otherwise related. Some even ship them together romantically.
Isihida is often mentioned to fuel the Ishimaru x Mondo ship.
