Yasuhiro Hagakure

**Yasuhiro Hagakure** is a student at Hope's Peak Academy featured in Danganronpa: Despairs Loss. His title is 'Ultimate Clairvoyant'.

## History

Yasuhiro grew up in a regular family with him and his mother. From a young age, he was very good at predicting events with a scary amount of accuracy. However, because neither of his parents were Ultimates, they assumed it was simply due to luck and good intuition.

Yasuhiro loved everything about his parents, except for one thing. They were heavy smokers. They never did so in his vicinity, but he saw the cigarette packs and ash trays. It upset him, but he was too embarrassed of looking like a cry-baby to say so.

One summer, Yasuhiro and his mom found themselves at a fair. It was late into the night, and the two were enjoying themselves greatly. **Hiroko** even got him a crystal ball, jokingly saying he could be a fortune teller when he grows up. Yasuhiro was having a lot of fun, until he started getting weird visions.

He saw pictures of fire at first. And then, it was his house in the flames. And then, his father.

Feeling terrified, he begged his mom to hurry home and said that dad was in danger. His mom tried to reassure him by laughing it off, but saw he wasn't backing down. They left early and headed home.

But it was too late. The house had been roaring ablaze by the time they got there, his father's corpse being hauled out by firemen - of whom the neighbours called.

Yasuhiro's world changed, as quickly as that. The guilt weighed on his shoulders, suffocating his body. If he had told his mother sooner, maybe they'd still have a home…Maybe he'd still have a father.

From that point on, Yasuhiro became a shut in. He refused to leave the house, and barely even his room. He hid his crystal ball away, and cursed his clairvoyance, wishing it'd disappear.

His mother managed to get him to leave once, for a doctor check-up. It was then, they found out that Yasuhiro had a mutant variant of the Ultimate gene. This made Yasuhiro feel even worse, realising that he couldn't protect his father even as an ultimate. He was consumed by feelings of worthlessness and his depression worsened.

One day, in his teens, his mother confronted him about a note he had written, resembling a suicide note. She was angry, and terrified, and pleading with the boy. Yasuhiro had never seen her like that before. She begged him to see someone, to try and find help in someone before it was too late. Unable to refuse his weeping mother, he promised he'd try to get better. She then apologised for failing as a mom, and promised she'd try to stop smoking less and pay more attention, for his sake.

The two were a lot closer after that day. Yasuhiro still seldom left home, but he was more active around the house. It took a while, but things were looking up. He also started an online fortune telling business as a secondary source of income for the house.

Later on in the years, he received an offer to attend Hope's Peak Academy. Both he and his mother were reluctant to accept. But, Yasuhiro wanted to prove to his mom above all that he was better, and he could handle himself. He accepted the offer, but promised to keep in contact with his mother every day of the school year.

## Appearance

Yasuhiro is a tall person with long brown locs, sometimes seen tied up into a ponytail. His eyes are hazel. He wears a lime turtleneck beneath a black jacket with a white symbol on the back that hangs over his shoulders. He wears baggy pants that come just past his knees with slip on light brown and black shoes and tawny tube socks. His legs and arms are also fairly hairy.

## Personality

Yasuhiro tends to "go with the flow" and is often a laid back and relaxed person. However, he's also a bit of a coward, someone who likes to ignore the reality of things when situations get bad. He doesn't trust modern technology and believes in apparitions, spirits and most conspiracy theories. He's content with listening to others and enjoys hearing about what they like most. He's also a massive mama's boy.

## Relationships

### **Chihiro Fujisaki**

Despite not trusting technology, Yasuhiro thinks Chihiro is pretty amazing for being able to create so many things at such a young age. He also likes how kind she is.

### **Hifumi Yamada**

Yasuhiro likes hearing Hifumi talk about his fixations and obsessions, even if he doesn't exactly know what they're saying, most of the time.
