Tenko Chabashira

Tenko Chabashira is a student from Dangan Ronpa. She was a semi-prominent character within the series and popular with fans. Chabashira debuted in Dangan Ronpa V3: Killing Harmony, though did not survive The Mastermind's Killing Game.
== Canon Overview ==
=== Pre-Game Personality ===
Chabashira was an average teenage girl and a fan of Dangan Ronpa, the in-game fictional reality TV show. She auditioned for the show's 53rd season, (stylized as V3,) and got on it. In fanworks, this is considered to be her Pre-Game Personality. Like with every other Killing Harmony student, all of this info is filtered by Tsumugi Shirogane, and fans may not believe this part of her character is true.
=== Dangan Ronpa Personality ===
As a child, Chabashira was abandoned by her parents and sent to a temple ran by monks for her anger management issues. While there, a head priest she calls "Master" created an unusually brutal form of Aikido, called Neo-Aikido, just for her. Neo-Aikido is just as much a lifestyle as it is an Aikido school. These strict guidelines gave Chabashira an intense sense of justice for women and children, while developing a hatred for men and boys. All of its intricacies can be seen on Chabashira's Fandom page.
Chabashira is a very loud, energetic and aggressive person who almost always falls upon emotion rather than logic. She is very loyal to her friends, especially Himiko Yumeno.
During Chapter 3, she is murdered by Korekiyo Shinguji. He is found out by Shuichi Saihara, leading to his execution by Monokuma.
Chabashira's birthday is January 9th. This was the Inauguration day of the second Ryōgoku Kokugikan, an indoor sporting arena in Tokyo. On Twitter and Pixiv, art tagged with #茶柱転子生誕祭[year value] are commonly released on her birthday. More birthday tag listings can be found on Dangan Ronpa Birthday and Anniversary Tag List.
