**Kiyotaka Ishimaru** (石丸 清多夏), also known as **Taka**, is a character in Project Collision, originally belonging to the series Danganronpa V1: Trigger Happy Havoc. He is the Ultimate Moral Compass, sometimes referred to as the *Super High School Level Public Morals Committee Member*.

As the Ultimate Moral Compass, Kiyotaka is very concerned with rules and regulations. He first chastised Makoto for being late to school, despite waking up in an unfamiliar area, and continuously encouraged him and his classmates to follow the rules and do the right thing, even throughout the killing games. He spends most of his time studying… in fact, that seems to be the only thing he ever does, even in his free time or on his days off. He is definitely not one to slack or slip up on schoolwork; once he’s assigned a task, he will work tirelessly until it's completed, and expects everyone to do the same and be equally as dedicated. He isn’t quiet about his commitments and accomplishments, either; take it as being self-absorbed or overbearing, if you will, though he never means any harm by his bold exclamations. As annoying as they may be. He simply wants to set a good example for others, and help lead them down a proper road to success. Not wanting to repeat his grandfather’s dreaded travesty, he values hard work and effort above all else.

He often addresses people, even girls, by -kun honorifics, and is very specific about showing manners; bowing to greet, removing his shoes when entering someone’s home, etc.

## Quotes

*“Jeez, you guys! How long do you plan to waste our valuable time with this ridiculous back-and-forth!? Self-introductions are for introducing yourself, not bumbling through a bunch of idle chit-chat!”* — Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

*“Just a moment! There's something else we must address! Makoto! Your tardiness is unacceptable! Surely you were aware the meeting was to start at 8 a.m. sharp! To be late on your first day is unspeakable! I must report you, and you must accept your due punishment!”* — Kiyotaka Ishimaru, chastising Makoto for being late.

*“Yes, morning greetings are quite a delight! Such an energizing way to start the day! Now then, let's make sure we both do our very best throughout the day!”* — Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

*“But it's also of utmost importance to double-check the areas we already know about, just in case! Aren't I so clever to think of that!? I really impress myself sometimes.”* — Kiyotaka Ishimaru.
