Danganronpa + Fanganronpa characters in a haunted house (DR/SDR2/DRV3/UDG/SDRA2/PEG/DRRB)

**Tenko Chabashira** (茶柱転子, *Chabashira Tenko*) is a student in Hope's Peak Academy. Her title is the **Ultimate Aikido Master** (超高校級の「合気道家」 lit. *Super High School Level Aikido Master*). She is a recurring character in Joanne's ***Dangankakunin*** series.

## Appearance

Tenko is a young woman of average height and a relatively fair complexion, with somewhat broad shoulders and an athletic, muscular build, likely due to her relentless Neo-Aikido training. She possesses wavy, calf-length, dark olive-gray hair with a hint of green, styled uniquely into low twintails fastened by white ribbons resembling chain-like links. The twintails divide into three bunches, each further split in the center, while two thin strands frame her face, with the right curving inwards and the left, slightly longer, curving outwards. Her warm green eyes feature a sharp angle, adorned with two prominent lashes at the corners, and a small mole below her bottom lip. Head accessories include a large wasabi-green bow with a white pinwheel print clipped at the back and a lilac-purple-pink headband embellished with a paler six-pointed star on the left.

Tenko dons a cropped, faded blue double-breasted seifuku uniform with long sleeves, featuring two pockets and six white buttons. The sailor collar and sleeve cuffs exhibit white stripes with a single blue line matching her uniform, accentuated by a white bow at her collar. Her former high school's symbol is printed in black at both sleeve shoulders. The short skirt, sharing the same faded blue hue as her uniform, is layered with frills that Kazutaka Kodaka describes as a "fashion disaster," reflecting the sporty and harmonious essence of a Japanese girl. Notably, Tenko added these frills herself to enhance the uniform's appeal to girls. Completing the ensemble are knee-high white socks with faded blue stripes, matching the uniform's color, and waraji sandals—a nod to common martial artist stereotypes. Additional accessories include a lilac-purple-pink choker matching the headband, adorned with a silver bell.

## Personality

**Tenko** exudes boisterous cheerfulness, wearing her emotions openly and expressing her fighting spirit with loud enthusiasm. While grappling with overactivity and anger issues, she channels her energy into Neo Aikido, a martial art she co-invented with her master. Despite her aggressive Neo Aikido techniques, she admits to a lower pain tolerance and a fear of torture. Due to her master's anti-romance teachings and past experiences, she harbors an intense hatred for boys, labeling them "degenerate males." This misandristic outlook leads her to invent negative stories about boys, portraying them as untrustworthy.

In stark contrast, Tenko exhibits admiration for other girls, including trans girls, and rushes to protect them during dangerous situations. She becomes shy and humble when complimented by girls, blushing and downplaying her looks. Although often perceived as tomboyish, she possesses a feminine side, embracing fashion, idols, and cute things. Her love for small and cute things is evident in her fondness for Himiko, whom she admires and fusses over, although Himiko finds it annoying. Tenko's impulsive nature sometimes hinders her awareness of others' feelings, yet her Neo Aikido skills enable her to read emotions accurately.

Despite her vehement hatred for boys, Tenko remains polite, using formal language even when referring to them. She reluctantly accepts boys as Neo-Aikido practitioners but believes in the martial art's potential to "purify" degenerate males, as observed during her time with Shuichi. While confronting her own feelings, Tenko encourages the open expression of emotions, contrasting with characters like Angie who escape reality through faith.
