**Ibuki Mioda** (澪田 唯吹 *Mioda Ibuki*), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in *Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair*. Her title is **Ultimate Musician** (超高校級の「軽音楽部」*chō kōkō kyū no “keiongaku-bu”; lit.* Super High School Level Light Music Club Member).

She, along with Class 77-B, return in *Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School* to explore their school life leading up to The Tragedy.

## Appearance

Ibuki is a young woman in her early twenties, around 22 at youngest. Her virtual avatar in the Neo World Program appeared as her 17 year old self.

She is a pale girl with pink eyes. She has long multi-colored hair consisting of black, pink, blue and white, some of which is tied into two oni horns on the top of her head.

Ibuki has a style of clothing that is very unlike what one would think a Light Music Club member would wear. She wears a sailor uniform with a black pleated skirt and ripped thigh highs (the right one is pink and the left one is blue). Both of her ears have six needle earrings and an earlobe gauge. She also has three piercings under the left side of lip and black nail polish. She wears a necklace, a black scrunchy with a stitch-like pattern on right wrist, a black and pink glove-like sleeve on her on her left upper arm with a silver bracelet and three silver rings on her left hand. Her shoes are white, with blue shoelaces on the right one and pink shoelaces on the left one.

In *Danganronpa 2*, Ibuki has a scar tattoo with stitches on her left thigh. In *Danganronpa 3*, this same tattoo appears on her right thigh.

As a member of Ultimate Despair, Ibuki has the same hair, but her clothes are different with more black. She appears to have a spiked collar and more piercings.

When enrolled in Hope's Peak Academy, she wore a white button up dress shirt with a pink tie that has light pink-colored x's, a black pleated skirt with a thin belt, a blue scrunchy on her right wrist; a yellow spiked bracelet on her left, two black rings on her left hand and black thigh highs with white skeletal markings on them. She also wore the same necklace and shoes.

## Personality

At first, Ibuki is a bit shocking in bold and unique personality and appearance. She is one of the most upbeat people out of her classmates. She is very energetic and loves to talk, though she almost always ends up going off on bizarre, unrelated tangents. She forgets things quite quickly, so she tries to write memos to help her remember.

Ibuki is very quirky as she loves to do all sort of bizarre things and she dislikes "dull" things, like reading and studying. She has a habit of breaking the fourth wall. When she gets upset, Ibuki seems to have a bit of a verbal tic: saying things twice. She also tends to scream or froth at the mouth when she panics. She seems to really enjoy panicking when there is no real danger, like when she's watching horror movies or going into the haunted house.

In the official artbook, it's stated that Ibuki adores cute girls, and she's often seen admiring the other girls during the game. She can act flirty towards both boys and girls, though she often appears to be just joking. In the Island Mode, during a more serious conversation, she states that "there are more important things in this world than a temporary physical relationship" - she appears to have very little interest in having a lover. Instead, it's implied that she's much more interested in having a deep platonic relationship with someone she considers her soulmate ("band member", as she puts it). She also implies that she has felt despair around other people, but finding her "destined one" would make sure that she would never feel despair again.

Despite her general quirkiness, Ibuki can be a startlingly wise and contemplative person, as in her last Free Time Events she gives Hajime Hinata advice about being himself. Though she may appear a bit insensitive at times, she is actually a very caring friend, as she spends her whole Free Time Events trying to help Hajime with his memories and sense of identity. She seems to have strong respect for individuality, which is contrasted with her Gullible Disease which makes her for the most part unable to act on her own will and also tones down her unique quirks.

Ibuki often refers to herself in third person and calls everyone by their first name with "-chan" honorific in the original Japanese release. Ibuki also speaks in the third person in the English version, but not as frequently.

## Talents & Abilities

### Ultimate Musician

Before attending Hope's Peak Academy, Ibuki joined a Light Music Club where one of her songs became charted as one of the highest-grossing singles in the country. Later on she quit club for creative difference in which she was scouted by a talent scout, but she refused to play traditional pop music and play heavy metal genre instead. It is stated that she can even play bass and drums on her guitar simultaneously. She is also a skilled song writer, writing her own single repertoire and even her hit single. Whenever someone listens to her genre she played for the first time, they might get shocked and/or even knock unconscious due to its sheer pain when played matching her eccentric and upbeat personality.

#### In other languages

### Costume Maker

Ibuki is able to make her own stage costume. She states that sewing is a minor necessity if someone joins a band. She puts her heart into making her clothes so they are not just a mere commercial product. In result, everything that she wears looks really unique and charming.

### Enhanced Hearing

Befitting the Ultimate Musician Ibuki has super powerful hearing. Even in complete darkness she is able to tell whose voices belong to who and in which order the people spoke.

## History

### Prior to the Tragedy

There isn't much known about Ibuki's childhood, but she almost died as a kid, when she shook a coconut tree and three coconuts fell on her head. When she was younger, she ended up on an illegal fishing boat and almost ended up in another country.

As a teen, Ibuki attended a girls-only high school called Shiba Academy and joined a light music club named "Black Cherry". They had a rival named "Summer Tree", which was a boy band. Ibuki wrote the songs she sings and her Hit single with her band is called After School Poyoyon Hour.

Ibuki later quit the club due to creative differences - when a talent scout was going to be watching one of their performances, Ibuki refused to play more traditionally appealing pop music, as she was much more into the heavy metal genre.

Ibuki later enrolled in Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Musician, in Class 77-B. She befriended Mikan Tsumiki, Hiyoko Saionji, Mahiru Koizumi, and Sato. During their time together, they discovered a corpse in the music room. This was later revealed to be Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu's sister, who was murdered by Sato. A few days later, Sato was killed by Fuyuhiko. This scared Ibuki, who thought they were cursed. This part of her life was revealed in Monokuma's second motive, "Twilight Syndrome Murder Case".

At some point after this, Ibuki joined the Ultimate Despair group that was founded by Junko.

### *Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School* - *Despair Arc*

#### Episode 01 - Hello Again, Hope's Peak Academy

Inside the Music Room, Ibuki performed her heavy metal song with her guitar which can also become a flamethrower, grilling meats in front of her. Even though most of her classmates can't stand with her performance, her homeroom teacher, Chisa Yukizome enjoyed it.

Ibuki and the rest of her classmates asked by Chisa to clean the classroom while she off to retrieve two remaining students. After returning to the classroom, Chisa was happy to see that Ibuki and the others had waited and that the classroom was clean. When the students once again bring up that they didn't have to go to class, so long as they have their talent, Chisa reminded them that talent isn't everything, and wanted them to build strong relationships and "hope" with each other.

#### Episode 2 - My Impurest Heart for You

Although Ibuki is not shown during the first half of the episode, it is assumed that she would be among the crowd that is watching Akane Owari and Nekomaru Nidai's fight.

In the second half, while Chiaki Nanami is making friends through gaming, Ibuki is shown to be playing a racing game with Hiyoko, Chiaki, and Chisa. She was in first place for a while, but was soon passed by both Chiaki and Chisa. As she puts it, she simply needs to use a certain item to get back in first place. Before she can use the item, Hiyoko knocked Ibuki off the track, effectively putting her in last place. She seems to get upset at this point, crying out loudly as Chiaki and Chisa both cross the finish line, but when she was put on the track again, Hiyoko knocked her right back off again.

During the break time, Ibuki and her classmates ate Teruteru and Hiyoko's nikujaga. Unfortunately, Ibuki affected by the aphrodisiacs that Hiyoko secretly added into the food. She felt that her body's temperature heated after she ate the food. She and the others recovered sometimes later in the nurse's office.

Chisa gathered Ibuki and the others in the classroom in the next day, announcing that she elected Chiaki as their class representative. Like the others, Ibuki didn't object Chisa's decision.

#### Episode 03 - A Farewell to All Futures

At the beginning of the episode, Ibuki and her classmates walked past Hajime heading toward the Main Course building, playing her guitar along the way.

Later that day, Ibuki and the others visited the park on the side of the school's main building. She was playing her air guitar beside Hiyoko. Later, she spotted Fuyuhiko and Peko Pekoyama having a conversation on an alley, saying that it was her first time to see Fuyuhiko and Peko talked to each other.

Several days later in their classroom, Ibuki and her classmates looked worried at Mahiru who was crying on Hiyoko's chest after her friend from Reserve Course, Sato got murdered.

#### Episode 04 - The Melancholy, Surprise, and Disappearance of Nagito Komaeda

Due to the deaths of Natsumi Kuzuryu and Sato that affected her class' morale greatly, Ibuki was unlike her usual self, remain silent and looked bored on her desk when Chisa announced the annual practical exam that will start tomorrow.

#### Episode 05 - The Beginning of the End

Ibuki and the rest of the class planned a surprise party in celebration of Chisa's return to the Main Course, after her probationary semester teaching the Reserve Course. Ibuki was extremely pleased to see her. When Chisa asked where Hiyoko might be, Ibuki explained she was in the washroom at just the wrong time.

#### Episode 06 - A Despairfully Fateful Encounter

As the class was preparing to move to their new classroom in the new school building, Ibuki became overwhelmed and excited over seeing Fuyuhiko and Peko act like a mature couple. She rushed over to question if something is going on between them. Teruteru made a perverted joke, so Ibuki pretended her foot accidentally slipped so she could kick him across the classroom.

When Ibuki and the rest of the class moved to the new classroom, Akane asked when Nagito would return. Chisa explained that it would be soon, and said that the whole class must miss him. However, they felt the opposite, and Ibuki laughed uncontrollably.

#### Episode 07 - The Biggest, Most Atrocious Incident in Hope's Peak Academy History

When Hiyoko inquires into Mikan's whereabouts, Ibuki explains she went off with Ryota, Ultimate Imposter.

#### Episode 08 - The Worst Reunion by Chance

Ibuki, Hiyoko and Chiaki watched on as the Reserve Course Parade continued strongly. Chisa attempted to cheer the class up, but Ibuki told her that she was still afraid.

Upon Nagito's return, Ibuki and the rest of the class expressed their disappointment, as they were expecting it to be Mikan. After Nagito explained that he noticed her in the West District, everyone went for her on the school grounds, including Ibuki.

#### Episode 09 - Chisa Yukizome Doesn't Smile

Ibuki and the class reconvened at the school classroom. After failing to find Mikan, they presumed Nagito gave them false information. Chiaki made her way to the classroom, while carrying an unconscious Nagito. She explained to the class that Chisa is in trouble, and they agreed to help. Ibuki called their rescue mission 'Operation Take Back Our Teacher'. Nagito pointed out there is high risk and a chance of them dying. Ibuki and the class considered these concerns, but Chiaki convinced them otherwise. Nagito then claimed that he was only testing them and their hope.

In order to save the real Ryota Mitarai, The Ultimate Imposter revealed his true identity. Ibuki was one the most shocked as he unmasked himself, however she came to accept it quickly.

Ibuki and the class left the Main Course building and headed for Junko's lair, but encountered The Parade. The protesting Reserve Course students attacked Ibuki and her class, with the hope that deaths would open spaces in the Main Course. Ibuki was panicked by the sudden encounter. Nekomaru and Gundham stayed behind to fend them off, and the rest of the class continued on.

They soon reached the stairway leading to Junko's hideout underneath The Founder's statue, and descended. Ibuki worried for Chisa's safety but Chiaki convinced her that they aren't too late to save her.

#### Episode 10 - Smile at Despair in the Name of Hope

Ibuki and the class continued down the corridor after making their descent of the stairway, with Mikan eventually catching up with them. A door flung open unexpectedly, and multiple eyes appeared in the darkness, causing Kazuichi to scream, and catching the attention of the rest of the class. Ibuki and the class were relieved to find it was Nekomaru and Gundham, and that they were both okay. Ibuki proclaimed that all that is left is to save Chisa, to which the rest of the class agreed.

Mikan, now leading the group, approached a large red door at the end of the corridor, pressed a button to open the door, and Ibuki and the rest of the class followed her inside. Once inside, Junko revealed multiple monitors showing Chiaki Nanami's Punishment. Ibuki was horrified by what she saw. She wanted to find a way to save Chiaki, but was powerless to move.

Once Chiaki reached the "goal" in her execution, she opened the door to see Chisa, Ibuki, and the rest of the class on the other side. Once she reached for Chisa's hand, spikes appeared from under the ground and stabbed Chiaki everywhere on her body. As the broadcast ended, Ibuki and the class fell silent, with a patterned swirl in their eyes. They have now lost their hope and become part of Ultimate Despair.

#### Episode 11 - Goodbye, Hope's Peak Academy

Ibuki and the rest of the class returned to the classroom, receiving their final lesson before graduation. Chisa stated that she has been honored to be their teacher and started reading a letter she prepared, Ibuki and the rest of the class clapped with gratitude.

After the speech, red lights turned on, and Chisa started to cry. The swirl pattern returned to their eyes, and they each made a declaration of what they will do upon graduation. Ibuki expressed she will 'use her music to make the world happy'.

After bidding her class a final farewell, Chisa activated a bomb to fake the death of Class 77-B. Ibuki and her class stood outside the school grounds as they watched Hope's Peak Academy's destruction.

Chisa's narration later reveals Ibuki helped infect the world with despair.

### During the Tragedy

The members of Ultimate Despair did all kinds of horrible things during the Tragedy, causing despair all over the world.

After the death of Junko, the remnants of the Ultimate Despair agreed to an insane plan to have AI Junko take over their bodies, so they could resurrect their leader.

The remnants of Despair are later found by Future Foundation. Makoto Naegi plans to undo Junko's influence by putting them into the Neo World Program, but the program is taken over by AI Junko, right according to the Ultimate Despair's plan.

### *Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School* - *Future Arc*

#### Episode 01 - Third Time's the Charm

As a member of Ultimate Despair, seen in the flashback, Ibuki and Hiyoko held a concert together during the Tragedy to rally the brainwashed army's spirit.

### *Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair*

#### Prologue - Welcome to Dangan Island! Panic at the Heart-Throbbing School Trip!?

Hajime Hinata first finds Ibuki at the supermarket, where he goes on to introduce himself but is cut-off by Ibuki, saying that he wasn't enthusiastic enough about his introduction and proceeds to energetically introduce herself instead and then talks about the supermarket itself.

Later, after all the students had already gathered their very first Hope fragments by introducing themselves, Usami gathered them at the sandy beach to received presents from her.

#### Chapter 1 - Destination Despair

Later into the game, Ibuki was invited, as well as the other students, to a party that Ultimate Imposter was throwing. She was super excited to go and she is seen by Hajime, telling him that she is having a 'light exercise' to make the food taste better. This party turns out to be where the first murder takes place.

Ibuki has an important role in the first trial: given that she is Ultimate Musician, Ibuki has keen hearing as evidenced by giving her input on how she heard everyone conversations during the black-out. This turns out to be vital evidence towards revealing the culprit.

#### Chapter 2 - Sea and Punishment, Sin and Coconuts

In Chapter 2, Ibuki is found grunting by the pool, thinking of a new music genre to forget about her 'girl band days' and asks Hajime to come and find her if he has some inspiration for her. If the player has the album, Summer Festrivitrees, Ibuki gets the idea to gather the other girls to have a beach party. That night, Hajime sets off fireworks on the beach with Ibuki, Mikan, Chiaki Nanami, Akane, Peko, Sonia Nevermind, and Nekomaru.

Kazuichi Soda and Hajime find her and Mikan which could mean that Ibuki and Mikan plan to go to the event together outside the diner earlier than planned, for the boys were waiting for them inside the diner. After Kazuichi suggests that they all go swimming together, Ibuki suggests that they wait inside the diner for the others to arrive. They then see Hiyoko Saionji running in the opposite direction of the beach in tears.

Kazuichi questions if Hiyoko was originally planning to swim with the girls, but Mikan tells her that she refused the invitation. Ibuki also brings up the fact that Mahiru Koizumi also refused.

After Ibuki and the rest of the girls arrived at the diner, Kazuichi leaves to go get parasols in the beach house. Their beach party is then interrupted by the Body Announcement. The body discovered turns out to be Mahiru's, her upper body up against a door in the beach house.

Ibuki, Peko, Chiaki, and Sonia come to the Beach House after Hajime and Kazuichi discover Mahiru's body, following the Body Announcement. It is later revealed that Mahiru had invited Ibuki, as well as Mikan and Hiyoko, to talk about the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case but Ibuki refused, seeing as she had plans to go to the beach party. It is also noted that Ibuki was one of the characters in Monokuma's game Twilight Syndrome Murder Case as Girl C.

#### Chapter 3 - Trapped by the Ocean Scent

In Chapter 3, if the player has Toy Camera, Ibuki, along with Hiyoko and Chiaki, will do a performance in memory of Mahiru. Ibuki played the guitar and sang, Hiyoko danced and Chiaki played the triangle, while Hajime took pictures with the Toy Camera.

Later, in the afternoon, Ibuki invites Hajime to come to the supermarket to come and see the fireworks at night. When Hajime asks if they'll be by themselves, she replies with “Ohoh, Hajime is quite the bold one. You want to be alone with Ibuki in the dead of night is that it?” She then assures them that they will not be alone, as Chiaki, Sonia, Mikan, Akane and Nekomaru will be there as well.

Later, after Fuyuhiko was found to be okay, Ibuki invited everyone to the music venue to perform for Fuyuhiko's return. Everyone expected her to sing something light and catchy, given that the song title was called “From Me to You Too”. This was actually not the case, her music being more like Noise Metal, causing everyone became frightened; even Gundham Tanaka saying that his hamsters fell in defeat. However, Hiyoko enjoyed the song, and may even have been a fan of Ibuki's.

The only one who seemed to like that performance was Hiyoko. The morning after the performance, Ibuki was acting strangely, and was running a high fever. Monokuma revealed that this was his next motive, a sickness known as 'despair disease' that has different symptoms for each person.

Ibuki catches the despair disease and her personality changes: she became overly gullible, and Monokuma called it the "Gullible Disease*"*. She also had a more extensive vocabulary. Ibuki, along with Nagito and Akane, were admitted to the hospital, where Mikan took care of them. Hajime and Fuyuhiko also stayed at the hospital to help Mikan with the ill students.

However, Mikan also caught the disease, getting the "Remembering Disease". Mikan, having reverted back into a Remnant of Despair, murdered Ibuki in the music venue by strangling her with a rope. However, Hiyoko arrived at the Titty Typhoon and witnessed Mikan preparing the crime. Mikan had no other choice but to kill her along with Ibuki, and sliced Hiyoko's throat.

#### Epilogue - The Day Before the Future

Currently, Ibuki is most likely comatose, just like most of her classmates. The survivors of the Killing Game are waiting for her and the rest of their classmates to wake up.

### *Super Danganronpa 2.5: Komaeda Nagito to Sekai no Hakaimono*

#### Illusion World

Ibuki appeared in Nagito's imaginary world following his death in the Neo World Program.

During morning class Ibuki is seen practicing her guitar before giving an introductory performance commanding everyone to greet Chisa before being seated.

She later attended Kazuichi Soda's funeral after he was murdered by the World Destroyer.

#### Real-life

Nagito is awakened from the Neo World Program by Hajime thus ending his imaginary world. Ibuki along with the rest of Class 77-B board a ship to take them to Future Foundation Headquarters.

### *Side: Hope - The Academy of Hope and Students of Despair*

Ibuki returned in Side: Hope alongside the rest of the Class 77-B, who had been resurrected by Izuru Kamukura although Izuru was now combined with the personality and memories of Hajime. They arrived at the island where the Future Foundation's off-shore facility was located, having left from Jabberwock Island and proceeded by rescuing Byakuya Togami and Yasuhiro Hagakure from being trapped under rubble, they then began their fight against Ryota's brainwashed rescue squad troops, including the Former Super High School Level Elite Task Force.

Venturing into the underwater facility beneath the main building, Ibuki played on her electric guitar, to a crowd of brainwashed rescue squad troops, forcing them unconscious with the sheer pain of her music. She is saved by Mahiru who quashed the efforts of the former Ultimate Marksman taking aim for a shot at Ibuki, fortunately the flash of Mahiru's camera caused the squad member temporary blindness, enabling Mahiru to remove their noise cancelling headphones, causing him to fall unconscious. Mahiru and Ibuki share a high five once all squad members are down.
Later, Ibuki helped convince Ryota to abandon his plan to brainwash the world. When Hajime began persuading him to join them in atonement, Ibuki happily accepted Ryota to the group.

Shortly afterword, Ibuki and the other Former Remnants of Despair shoulder the blame for the Final Killing Game in a broadcast to the Future Foundation, presenting themselves in their despair persona and relieving the organization of any wrongdoing.

With the battle won, Ibuki and the Class 77-B return to Jabberwock island by boat, she is last seen feeding Ryota some of Teruteru's prepared food before continuing conversation with him a little while after.

### Hiyoko Saionji

Ibuki appears to like Hiyoko, though she is amazed by how many tears Hiyoko can cry. They seem to have a similar taste in music, which is revealed in Ibuki's "Welcome Back" party for Fuyuhiko. Ibuki played one of her songs, but Hiyoko was the only one who enjoyed it.

Hiyoko seems to think of Ibuki as a friend as well, despite the fact that she often insults her. She joins Ibuki's improvised band as a dancer. During the events of chapter 2, it is revealed that both Ibuki and Hiyoko, along with Mahiru, Mikan, and Sato, were best friends at Hope's Peak Academy. During the Killing School Trip, Ibuki and Hiyoko were murdered together by Mikan, but despite this, the three were seen celebrating together along with Mahiru on the ship, following the events of the Tragedy and their awakening from their coma.

When Ibuki and Hiyoko were still members of Ultimate Despair, the two of them often performed together on the stage, rallying the spirit of the brainwashed army using the Monokuma helmets.

### Mikan Tsumiki

Prior to The Tragedy, Mikan was one of Ibuki's best friends, which was later revealed in Monokuma's second motive, "Twilight Syndrome Murder Case". Ibuki was the only one in their class who addressed Mikan by her first name back then, along with Mahiru.

Ibuki takes joy in watching Mikan fall into humiliating poses, however no real harm is actually intended on her side. She is often one of the first to notice when Mikan finds herself in these situations and claims that Mikan looks so adorable whenever she is embarrassed. Despite usually finding it entertaining, Ibuki sometimes shows concern for her, namely when Nagito knocked her down in *Side: Hope* and Ibuki being the first person who tried to chase after Mikan. Mikan is very shy around Ibuki, and is often interrupted by her. Ibuki still cares for Mikan after the murder incident and even forgives her for it and treated Mikan as her closet friends as usual. Ibuki's taste in music deeply disturbs Mikan, who reacted in horror upon hearing Ibuki play for the first time.

During the Killing School Trip, when infected with the Despair Disease, Mikan targets Ibuki as her first victim, due to Ibuki's illness turning her naive. It was shown that Mikan killed Ibuki for the sake of Junko Enoshima since Ibuki is the closest person and a dear friend to Mikan and Ibuki is the only one who could led Mikan into despair even more for her beloved. Despite this, the two remain close friends upon awakening from their coma and are even seen celebrating together on the ship alongside Mahiru and Hiyoko.

In New "Danganronpa V3" bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan, Ibuki was awaken at the infirmary with Mikan. Mikan was calm and happy to hear that her friend is okay. Ibuki felt bad for Mikan since she made her very worried for her which she apologized after. Ibuki responded that it's okay for her since Mikan was a person who ask since she became very helpful for Ibuki and she trusted her. In the end, Ibuki tries to cheer her up and states how cute Mikan is even when she made a sad face.

### Mahiru Koizumi

Mahiru was another one of Ibuki's best friends before the Tragedy. Like she does all her friends, Ibuki called Mahiru by her first name. In return, Mahiru addressed her as Ibuki-chan.

Mahiru seems to be weirded out at times by Ibuki's eccentric behavior but still considers her a friend. She is deeply disturbed by Ibuki's odd taste in music, seen covering her ears when she hear Ibuki play at Hope's Peak Academy. Ibuki likes Mahiru and feels guilty about Mahiru's death in the Neo World Program because she didn't accept her invitation to talk.

After the two awaken from the Neo World Program, Mahiru helped Ibuki when a brainwashed troop attempted to shot her, and they are seen high-fiving each other. Later, they celebrate together on the ship along with Mikan and Hiyoko after the battle has ended.

### Ultimate Imposter

Ibuki has a friendly relationship with the Ultimate Imposter (impersonating as Byakuya), though they are sometimes a bit annoyed with her.

Ibuki thinks that they are very cool and reliable and she admires their leadership skills. During chapter 2, after their death, she states that she misses him a lot. She even told Hajime that she also misses his piggy fingers. In addition, during chapter 5 when she and the other deceased characters show up, she greets him by oinking and explaining that she said “You're so cool” in pig talk.

While not apparent in the game, many manga portray Ibuki with a some sort of crush on the Ultimate Imposter and she's often shown to be attracted to his build. Though, it should be noted that the manga are non-canon.

### Peko Pekoyama

Ibuki appears to be attracted to Peko. In Chapter 1, when Peko offers to be on guard duty and leaves the room, Ibuki grins and mutters to herself that she feels Peko has "this super cool, melancholy vibe".

In a Special Event during the first chapter, the two are walking together on the beach when they meet Hajime, Kazuichi and Teruteru. Ibuki winks and claims she was holding hands with Peko, though Peko stoically denies this and tells Teruteru not to fantasize about weird things when he imagines the two girls having sex. When Peko talks about splitting open a coconut and describes how she wouldn't make a mistake with a sword, Ibuki gets really excited, screaming that she's so cool and that she might fall in love with her quiet words. She then begins to call her "Peko-Peko". Peko seems to mostly ignore her behavior.

### Ryota Mitarai

Upon meeting him for the first time, Ibuki seemed to take a liking to Ryota, most likely due to to her friendship with the Ultimate Imposter who impersonated him. She developed a similar relationship with Ryota, and likes to play around with him. She is seen eagerly talking to him on the ship with the Imposter, and even shoves food into his mouth at one point.

### Teruteru Hanamura

During at Hope's Peak Academy and the School Trip, Ibuki found Teruteru to be very gross, due to his perverted nature. She would constantly physically hurt and interrupt him because of this. However, much like her fellow classmates, she enjoys Teruteru's cooking very much.

**Reserve Course Students:**
### Sato

In *Twilight Syndrome Murder Case*, it was revealed that Sato was one of Ibuki's friends. They, along, with Mikan, Hiyoko, and Mahiru spent time together prior to Sato's murder.

### Hajime Hinata

Ibuki and Hajime seem to be good friends. They bonded over performance exercises during her Free Time Events. Also during her Free Time Events, Ibuki was trying to help Hajime remember his talent. She insisted that it should've been obvious what she was trying to do, but Hajime claimed he didn't even realize it, and was touched that she was trying to help him.

Ibuki often pokes fun at Hajime, saying that he has developed a crush on her or, that he is looking for an excuse to be alone with her. Ibuki also gave Hajime some advice that even when people are constantly changing, either physically or otherwise, that they are always going to be their true selves and she made Hajime promise her that he will never give up on trying to find out his true self. In Hajime's official relationship chart, Ibuki states she wants him to be the drummer in her band, and insists that the two are in a band, even teaching him lessons. However, according to Hajime, she only taught him how to use a loudspeaker.

* "Like Schubert, Bach, Edison, Van Gogh, Perez, and Senna...I, too, am an awesome musician!"
* "Living together on this tropical island sure is exciiiiting! I'm super looking forward to it!"

**Chapter 1:**

* "Grrrrrr...! It's like everything here is just full of mysteries!"
* "H-Hey...isn't this kinda bad? The mood's totally set to like, "OH NOES!" right now, y'know? I got it! Ibuki's gonna help get the party started by siiiiiiinging! ...Man, even \*I'm\* not sure I should say that right now."
* "Mmm, seeing Peko's back as she walks away makes me feel like she's got this super cool, melancholy vibe..."
* "I-It's pitch black! My future is pitch black!"
* "Apparently, a great man once said, "Investigations should be done on foot." Sooo, that's why I'm also using my feet! I'm just walking around for no particular reason!"
* "Tee hee, not only do I have a perfect face, style, and personality, but I also have perfect ears!"
* "Any fried rice that isn't fried rice with gravy is soooooooo wrong!"
* "Holy crap! He's \*totally\* the type of guy who spent his childhood killing neighborhood pets!"
* "How can you smile in a situation like this, you creep!"

**Chapter 2:**

* "Welcome to the world of girl love! It's slippery when wet!"
* "Nobody wants to live in a swashbuckling, Hollywood type, action film!"
* "That girl... She's probably gonna get even stronger."
* "The more you fight, the stronger you get... That's what being a battle-lover is all about!"
* "But you should talk about it more, you know. Shoot me with your word arrows!"
* "That's right! He may have had piggy fingers, but he was really totally awesome! It sounds easy to keep a promise till the very end, but I think it's actually really, really hard."
* "He's not a little creepy, he's creepy to the max! His creepiness is so high he could sell tickets to see it!"
* "Gyaaah! And it was the best phrase of all time, too! It would've filled you with chills! This is a big loss for humanity as well! So you gotta act sadder!"
* "An army marches on its stomach, while swimmers can only splash around on their stomachs too! I'm gonna heartily eat a hamburger with a side of rice!"
* "Muah-haha! Wearing a bikini is suuuuuure daring! And you get bonus points for wearing a white one! My heart's not just thumping, it's thumping all sporadically like "Badump, thump! Thump, badump!"
* "Young ladies are sure well-endowed nowadays... Is that a challenge against all the women in the world?"
* "Th-This is too weird... Something this weird should only happen in song lyrics..."
* "Ibuki's a tough girl, so I don't touch anything powered by electricity except electric guitars! Yeah, but disappointment varies depending on the person, Ibuki associates it with department store rooftops."
* "My goodness...I got it right... And I was just throwing things out there... Tahaaa! Just as I thought, I'm chosen by the gods!"
* "Gravel \*inside\* the swimsuit!? Even the ace attorney would be astonished by such a fantastic idea!"
* "...Jeez, I wish he'd just side with the enemy already so I can believe what he's saying!"
* "Her personality got a hell of a lot more forceful once she stopped being a suspect!"
* "Tahaa! I shouldn't say things I don't understand, like "so to speak"!"
* "Littering is prohibited...even if it might be evidence, rules are still rules..."
* "People dying so easily... Falling like dominoes..."

**As Girl C:**

* "Tahaaa! The way Girl B treats people, even loan sharks looking to collect would get sick to their stomachs!"

**Chapter 3:**

* "I really can't imagine Hiyoko being so diligent and earnest about something!"
* "The truth is so overwhelming that I can't help shouting out! I never expected to find a music venue. I can't help feeling excited! Man, with a venue like this, Ibuki has no choice but to lend a helping hand! This is just the beginning! Yahoooooooooooooooo! I'll invite everyone to feel this wonderful feeling! It's like the smug feeling you got when you explain something with an elaborate metaphor no one understands!"
* "I wanna listen to songs by Ibuki's favorite artists! There's no TV or radio here, you know!? I'm starving to death from musical deprivation!"
* "Like, music shouldn't be reduced to sales numbers!"
* "No problemo! You don't need skill on this stage, just heart!"
* "Tee-hehehehe... Summer's all about fireworks!"
* "Good mornin'! Looks like today's gonna be another perfect tropical daaaaaay!"
* "Heeeeey y'all! It's Ibuki Miodaaaaaa! Thanks for coming out today! My specialty is making beef stew! Haha, I may not look like it but people tell me that I'm a nurturing type. So I'm gonna do my very best performance so I can make everyone feel better. I hope you're all pumped up!"
* "No, that's not it! I know Akane's in deep trouble but you guys suck! Screw this half-baked comfort! If this were a song title, it'd be "Salt Seeping into My Broken Heart"!"
* "It may be rude of me, but I would like to say my greetings first thing in the morning! Good morning! I look forward to working with you all today!"
* "You came to visit and see how I am doing!? Thank you very much for your courtesy! Thank you very much for your consideration! I shall heed your kind attitude and take a rest!"
* "Good morning! I am truly honored by you stopping by to see how I am doing today as well!"
* "To tell you the truth, I have been getting quite bored doing nothing but sleeping. Also...it would just trouble you if I slept all the time, so I was hoping I can help you with anything... But it's better if I am sleeping, correct!?"

**Chapter 5:**

* "PP@04Yahoooooo23`\*?@@please-----’A;@listento:..o./onesonnnnnng:@;@" (*Ibuki's cottage post-fifth trial*)

**Free Time Events:**

* "Everyone starts at that point. As long as you feel the love, there's no problem."
* "It's okay! Jamming out is sooooo much fun! You'll be so popular with the ladies! Chicks go out with guys who pretend to be musicians all the time!"
* "That's awesome! All right, it's decided! Drums are great 'cause you can just hit 'em to the beat, and you don't even need to know how to read music! As long as you can move your arms and legs independently of each other, even a novice can play them real easy!"
* "What are you saying? It's a must-have item for live performances. It doesn't mean you just hold it and scream into it! If you don't put your soul into it, the loudspeaker won't respond to you! Gyahaha! Put your soul into it! Shout! Shout!"
* "If you wanna learn proper music theory, training yourself in the rhythm of racing is a must. Music has its own language too, y'know. It's always nice to hear music that adheres to the principles of music theory... And it's easier to make people feel the beat as well."
* "Nah, that's impossible. No matter how unified a band is, or how much they get along, that's impossible. When you get older and get a boyfriend, or when you get married and have kids, or when your parents die... Once you're worrying about your future, the direction is definitely gonna go all over the place for sure!"
* "Yep, that's correct. It's all about that! The band members performing as a singular unit on stage... That is the ideal live concert! That's where the greatest music is made!"
* "Like I said earlier, what's most important is a sense of unity. Technique is something you gain just by practice. But you won't know if the group really meshes well together until you try it once... And if it's no good, that's something you can't really help. That's why Ibuki doesn't really regret leaving the band."
* "Well, it's fine as long as you don't worry about it. I mean, the Hajime I know is the same person you've been from the start. It's pretty embarrassing so I don't really want you to make me say it, but... It actually doesn't matter at all whether or not you remember! 'Cause...Hajime is already standing right here. I feel like you're someone who's willing to go far away to search for yourself.. But your true self...doesn't actually exist anywhere. The person standing here right now is who you are. The person who's changing every day... That's you. I believe finding yourself means accepting that you're someone who is constantly changing. Even when you're worrying about things, you're still you."
* "There's no need to thank me. Cause Ibuki was able to remember something she hasn't felt for a long time after playing with Hajime! The importance of giving your all when expressing yourself! But to expand on that, the important part is to do it together with someone! Someday...I want to play music with someone who trusts me as much I trust them... That's always been Ibuki's dream. I think believing that dreams come true as long as you believe is the first step toward fulfilling your dreams!"
* "It's eaaaaasy peaaaaasy! All you gotta do is believe. So...no matter what happens from this point forward, never ever give up. It's a promise!"

**Island Mode:**

* "Let's take a walk! My love for walking is to the extreeeeeeme! But I'd like to find a safe haven some day and settle down in peace... Juuuuuust kidding! I don't wanna think about that one bit! Just like any other day, I'm a wanderer today, too!"
* "After coming all this way to the beach, laying around doing nothing is just the worst! The biggest of no-nos! We obviously gotta run around and play like puppies!"
* "Throwing and ripping the pages is so old hat! From this point on, we're gonna lick 'em and flutter them!"
* "My brain just oozes hopelessly hot passion, but only at warm places!"
* "Reading books at a library... That's too normal! It's boring! Ibuki wants to do something that's more go, go, go! We don't know what'll happen tomorrow, so we gotta live more aggressively and rush our lives!"
* "There's nothing more thrilling than hiding in places that have lots of places to hide... We can enjoy the tension of either stabbing or getting stabbed as we search for each other while we hide...! Uooooooh! I'm starting to get fired up! C'mon, let's go already!"
* "Ibuki is confident that she can panic more than any other character in a horror movie!"
* "Watching movies without popcorn is like a park with no swings! Like a summer vacation with no watermelon!"
* "Hajime, you'e such a worrywart! That's no problemo at all! Ibuki’s always lost wherever she goes, so it's all okay! In fact, it's fun not knowing where you are or where you're going! Instead of sulking and overthinking, you just gotta let yourself feel it! C'mon, c'mon, let's go!"
* "If we don't hold hands here, the god of love is gonna curse us."
* "Ibuki's weapon of choice is a guitar. There's nothing more dangerous in her hands than that..."
* "There are more important things in this world than a temporary physical relationship!"
* "Staying with Ibuki forever... Racing together for the rest of our lives, playing tag, looking for shamrocks together... Playing hot lava in the street, making mountains at the sandbox, beatboxing over the loudspeaker... Going on coffee breaks, headbanging, playing ding-dong ditch... You're really gonna do all that with Ibuki...?"
* "Hajime... Ibuki has been thinking about you this whole time. It'd be awesome if you were Ibuki's destined one. And if that really happens, I'll...never have to feel despair around people..."

**Ultimate Talent Development Plan:**

* "I'll be careful then, especially since you saved me and even gave me a warning... So, please don't be sad! Although, you are pretty cute when you make that face!"
* "Kyaaa! A perfect smile for the morning! Smiling like that for free would even affect inflation!" (About Sayaka Maizono)
* "Fashion is a deep labyrinth that goes every which way."
* "I'm happy! Like how a fish is thrown out of the water and flipping its tail in desperation...that's me!"
* "Ibuki came to cheer-o Chihiro on! I'll support you with all my might so you can work hard! They wouldn't let me bring my guitar, but I can still headbang and shout for you!"
* "So since I was so useless, I'll tell you this... Don't work too hard on your own. You're a student here too, Sakura... Don't forget to enjoy the sports festival."
* "Ooooh, Usami's super excited! But there's no way I'll lose in that department!"
* "Haaa, cut down by merciless words! I need to cut some albums myself!" (To Maki Harukawa)
* "Christmas means cakes, turkey, and death metal! Let's crank this Christmas up to Christmaximum!"
* "There's no stopping my excitement! Because I'm having way too much fun! Just like the night before a field strip, parties are most exciting before the first party popper!"
* "We all get along so well, I'm sure there'll be another chance before too long. It's different from hanging out with my music friends, but this is way fun, too!"
* "We get along... Not like bandmates, but just as precious. Are we...? Are we all...? ...Friends!? Of course we are! Our class is the best!"
* "My road might be different, but I'll meet new friends on it. That's just how it's gonna be."

*Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School/Despair Arc* (English)

**Episode 01:**

* "When Ibuki does something, she does it right."

**Episode 02:**

* "None will race ahead of Ibuki!"

**Episode 05:**

* "Aren't you glad to be back with Ibuki and friends? Was I the only one who wanted us to meet again?"

**Episode 11:**

* "I'm gonna use music to make the world happy!"

*Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School/Hope Arc* (English)

* "The threatening letter you gave me in burnt letters read "I love you." But you'll never see it. A voodoo doll in the witching hour, it looks at me and laughs. It laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs." (Her song lyrics)

## Trivia

* The name "Ibuki" (唯吹) means "a sole breath" or "merely breathing". This could be a reference to her demise later in the game by strangulation.
* Ibuki's last name, "Mioda" (澪田), could be translated as "rice field of the waterway".
	+ Each kanji on her name is directly taken from the 4 protagonists of K-On!.
	+ She also shares the same birthday with the main character of K-On!, Yui Hirasawa, which is on November 27th.
* While Ibuki's title in the official English translation is the Ultimate Musician, her original title, Super High School Level **Light Music Club Member** is actually much more specific. "Light music" is a very common after school club activity available in many high schools across Japan. Not to be confused with the music genre know as light music whose origins are in late 19th century Britain, the Japanese "light music" (or 軽音楽 "*keiongaku*") genre is something similar to pop music.
	+ Despite her success as a light music performer as proven by her title, Ibuki's original music, some of which she performs in the beginning of Chapter 3, reveals her musical preferences to be much closer to the heavy metal genre.
* There are currently two known songs from Ibuki's solo repertoire: *"From Me To You Too"* and *"I Squeezed Out The Baby But I Have No Idea Who The Father Is"*; the former she performs in the beginning of chapter 3.
* The way Ibuki calls her classmates in the Japanese version, using their first names and adding "-chan" (i.e. Hajime-chan, Hiyoko-chan, Nekomaru-chan), is considered the stereotypical way for girls to call their close female friends in Japanese. Considering her friendly nature, it is highly possible that Ibuki calling both her male and female classmates this particular way is due to a habit she picked up back at her previous high school (where all of her classmates were girls).
* Other characters who also speak in third person within the series besides Ibuki are Monaca Towa, Gonta Gokuhara, Angie Yonaga, and Tenko Chabashira (the latter two in Japanese only).
* Ibuki is shown to have attraction to people of the same gender.
	+ Dosya:Danganronpa 2 Ibuki Mioda holding hands with Peko.pngIn Chapter 1 of *Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair*, during the optional Coconut Party event, Ibuki tells Hajime: "**I was holding hands with Peko and going for a walk when I saw you guys!**" although Peko denies this. Later in the scene, Ibuki tells Peko: "**I might just fall in love with those quiet words of yours!**"
	+ Also in Chapter 1, Ibuki is excited when Mikan Tsumiki falls in an embarrassing pose when getting tangled in wires: "**Awwwwww! She looks so adorable when she's embarrassed! It's sooooo moe, I'm practically snorting with joy!**", and again when she falls during the blackout: "**Eeeeeeee-hehehehe! I can't take this at all...! Mahiru! It's time to snatch some shots!**"
	+ In Chapter 2 of *Danganronpa 2*, when Hiyoko Saionji tells Mahiru Koizumi "I love you Mahiru! I'll give you a kiss!", Ibuki comments: "**Welcome to the world of girl love! It's slippery when wet!**"
	+ Dosya:Danganronpa 2 Ibuki Mioda reacting to Chiaki's Bikini.pngAlso in Chapter 2, Ibuki admires all the girls when they come to the Diner in their swimsuits, particularly Chiaki who is wearing a white bikini: "**My heart's not just thumping, it's thumping all sporadically like 'Badump, thump! Thump, badump!'**"
	+ In the *Danganronpa 2* art book, Ibuki comments that she wishes she could have seen Sonia in a bikini.
	+ Dosya:Ibuki Mioda Halfbody Sprite (22).pngOn page 500 of the *Danganronpa 1.2 Reload Art Book* there is a chart showing the characters' chest sizes, and Ibuki has the line "girls these days sure have voluptuous figures, huh!" accompanied by this sprite:
* During the Chapter 2 Trial, when she was told she is Girl C, Ibuki says "I guess I'll 'C' U Next Tuesday", which is a song by Pop Artist, Ke$ha. Additionally, that statement contains an obscene acronym.
* In her last Free Time Events, Ibuki recites the beat-box portion of "Freak on a Leash" by American rock band, Korn and breaks the 4th wall by saying, "After all this is the last event".
* The 'X' on her sign during and after Chapter 3 resembles a pair of drumsticks.
* One of Ibuki's sprites is a reference to Pinocchio.
* In the Island Mode, it was revealed that Ibuki has screamed inside six different libraries and now isn't allowed to enter any of them.
* Dosya:Girls Gun 2 x Danganronpa Game Ibuki Mioda.pngIbuki is included in the collaboration of *Danganronpa 3 x Hōkai Gakuen*. In the game, a chibi version of Ibuki is seen riding on the top of the player character's head.
* Ibuki's Japanese voice actress, Ami Koshimizu, also voiced Suzuko Kashiki in *Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc*.
* Ibuki is one of the DLC characters for Crypt of the Necrodancer.
