## Appearance

Satsuki is a teenage girl with fair skin, golden yellow eyes, and short cobalt blue hair which is cut above the nape of her neck. She does not possess front bangs and instead has two bangs loosely hanging from each side of her head.

Satsuki wears a clown's outfit consisting of a one-piece symmetrical costume, colored sky blue on the right side and cotton candy pink on the left side, with white ruffled collar and golden yellow buttons, white gloves, and a matching jester hat with white polka dot patterns, golden yellow trim, and a golden crescent moon and star dangling from each side. She also wears a detachable red clown nose and white Aladdin's sandals with dark blue soles.

It was stated that Satsuki does not actually wear anything underneath these clothes.

Up until the investigation in Chapter 4, she wears her ballroom outfit, which consists of a light blue floor-length dress with capped sleeves and ruffles along the skirt and sleeves, white gloves that reach almost to her elbows, and a pendant with a pink charm. The colour of her shoes is unknown. Her hair is down with a small section of it tied with an elastic on the left side of her head.

## Name Etymology

In Japanese, Satsuki's given name means "fifth month", in other words, the month of May. Her last name, Iranami, uses the kanji 伊 (*i*), which is the abbreviation of Italy, 良 (*ra*) meaning "good", "pleasant", or "skilled", and 波 (*nami*) meaning "waves". This surname is rare and usually found only in the Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

The month of May marks the beginning of the high season in Italy for a few reasons, the fine weather being one of them. Moreover, many festivals, feasts, and events take place during this month in Italy – an information that is connected to Satsuki's name and talent.

## Personality

Satsuki is a highly energetic girl who never forgets to smile and make jokes, no matter how serious the situation is. She has a childish style of speaking and sometimes refers to herself in third person. She often inserts silly remarks in conversations, making her unpredictable and a "person who makes you tired by just talking with", as described by Yuki.

She's also described to be a strong-willed and passionate person by Yuki during their first free time event.

## History

### Early Life

Satsuki would live with eleven older brothers and nine older sisters, them all being clowns as well. She claims that they all outshine in their skills compared to her own.

It's described during the prologue that Satsuki performed in a world-famous circus troupe while being a high schooler.

### Killing Game

#### Prologue

Satsuki would be one of the fourteen students to introduce herself to Yuki Maeda. She would've been remembered by being in a world-famous circus group by Yuki during this time. Once starting to head into the main school building, everyone would begin to fall unconscious.

Once awoken, Satsuki would regroup with the other students at the entrance hall. Soon after everyone gathered there, an anonymous announcement would play which would direct everyone to the gym. At arrival, Monokuma would appear, thus announcing the Killing Game.

#### Chapter 1

The first day of the killing game, she would investigate the school with an unknown group, but would meet up in the kitchen with Kinji, where Monokuma tells them they don't need to worry about food, as it will never run out. A few days later, the first motive would be handed out in the form of a video. Although the contents of her video are unknown, her reaction to it is in a half-joking manner and attempts to cover up her fear with humour. After leaving the A/V room, Satsuki and Haruhiko would begin to run in the dorm hall, though she'd soon witness Haruhiko crashing into Tsurugi's and Kiyoka's nameplates, leading Yuki and Kiyoka to approach them. Satsuki is a bystander when Haruhiko pleads for his life due to accidentally breaking a rule, laughing at his clumsiness and fear.

#### Chapter 2

After Mitsuhiro's execution, Tsurugi creates a group to ensure the safety of the students. Everyone, including Satsuki, joins, with the exception of Rei, Kizuna, and Kinji. The students would investigate the places that had newly opened up after breakfast, Satsuki being found in the second-floor hallway. A few days later, Monokuma would call them all to the gym and give them the second motive, each other's secrets. While the students aren't allowed to choose their own secret, they can choose each other's secrets. Satsuki's secret and the secret she receives is unknown. The next day, Akane mentions seeing Kizuna crying during breakfast, so the students in Tsurugi's group go to the gym to invite her to rejoin. Kizuna accepts.

The day after Ayame's execution, everyone excepting Akane, Tsurugi, Yuki, Rei and Kinji would talk amongst themselves and decide to break away from Tsurugi's authority. They'd also elect to avoid Yuki due to his secret. When they tell Yuki this, Monokuma tells them that he planted an 'imposter' early in the game, even before Kiyoka died. Everyone assumes it to be Yuki, and they promptly kick him out of their group.

#### Chapter 3

After Yuki is expelled from their group, the students, with the exception of Akane, would investigate the areas that had newly opened up, Satsuki investigating the casino on the third floor with Haruhiko. The pair would be playing poker when Yuki walks in, and Satsuki would ask is he wished to join their game. The trio would play a game, Yuki's luck assisting him in winning with four kings. Haruhiko is indignant at the play, and Satsuki is quick to point out that Yuki is winning due to his luck, he is the Ultimate Lucky Student. After investigations conclude, Mikako would call everyone to the dining hall to corroborate their findings.

When in the dining hall, the students would tell the others about what they found, Kinji in particular finding a cellphone in a drawer in one of the classrooms. Since Kinji doesn't know how to use the phone to call for help, he gives it to Kakeru, who finds that there's no signal. He then gives it to Rei, who figures out that the issue is the area, and discovers that Kiyoka was the original owner of the phone through looking at the phone background. The phone leaves the students confused, as since they are believed to be in the middle of Tokyo, there should be cellphone service, as well as wondering why only Kiyoka's phone is in the school. The phone is left in the hands of Kinji for safekeeping. Mikako would then show everyone the reason for calling them all to the dining hall, taking them to the storage room and saying she'd heard someone's voice from behind it, explaining that it was the reason she was late to the trial elevator the day before. After Kakeru and Haruhiko moved the bookshelf, the students saw a giant hole in the wall with a staircase leading down. When they go to enter, Monokuma stops them, showing them a gun attached to the ceiling that would shoot if they attempted to enter. With Monokuma guarding the entrance, the students are forced to give up, but Rei and Kanata reason that there must be something important down there.

The next morning, Akane would join the group for breakfast, though she would be in her shell-shocked state and unresponsive. Everyone is apprehensive about allowing Yuki to join their group again, but Satsuki convinces them all due to her trusting attitude towards him, reinstating Yuki into their group.

The next day, Monokuma would call the students to the gym and present the third motive to them, a video that would show the students their desires or something they want to obtain. Unlike the first motive videos, these videos would be viewed in a soundproofed dark room, so no one other than the student viewing each video could see. The students are also told they can't say tell anyone else the contents of their video or show their reactions. The contents of Satsuki's video are unknown, but she refers to it as "interesting", and the order the students went in is also largely unknown. Everyone was extremely uncomfortable by the time the motives ended. Shortly after Monokuma left, Akane would snap out of her shell-shocked state, screaming and running out of the gym. The others would question why she did so, with Kinji proposing it may have been due to the motive video. The students, excepting Rei, Mikako and Kinji would go to find Akane, eventually finding her in her dorm room. Monokuma would then sound the nighttime announcement, prompting everyone to stop and go to bed.

Late the next day, Satsuki, Haruhiko and Teruya would find a bloodied Akane in the hall of the dorms, attempting to kill herself. After saying that she had done it to join Ayame due to the contents of her motive video. Satsuki would witness as Mikako calms Akane down, but she attempts to say that Akane is "so much more", which prompts her to collapse from a headache.

The next day, Yuki, Satsuki, Haruhiko, Teruya and Akane would congregate in the dining hall for breakfast, Akane being back to her bright, normal self. The group soon became confused at Kakeru's and Kanata's absences, and when Mikako came in late, they worriedly begin looking for the pair. Satsuki is found near the staircase leading to the second floor, and tells Yuki she heard a scream coming from there. She and Teruya are the last people to find Kinji on the second floor, Kinji waking up shortly after. He is confused at the scene, saying he remembered going to the library at night, then a pain in his head, but can't remember anything else. They all then hear a banging noise coming from the third floor, electing to split into two groups to investigate the two floors. Satsuki, along with Haruhiko, Teruya and Akane, opt to search the second floor.

Where she investigated was unknown, but at a certain point she was alerted to the library by Akane seeing Kakeru's corpse and Tsurugi unconscious on the ground. The body discovery announcements for Kakeru and Kanata would sound, and the people from the third floor would come down. Everyone excepting Rei, Yuki and Akane would then take Kinji and Tsurugi to the infirmary to take care of their wounds. Shortly after, everyone excepting Tsurugi would return and Monokuma would appear. Monokuma gives them the Monokuma file 3-1 for Kakeru and 3-2 for Kanata. Everyone is concerned about the prospect of a serial killer, so Monokuma implements the rules that no student can kill more than two people and that no one can kill after an investigation has started.

After Kinji's execution, Monokuma would randomly stop working. Mikako would notice first and urge everyone to run to the warehouse. The students would go down the stairs leading from the hole in the wall to find an empty room with a gate and unlocked door. Monokuma would soon show up and say that he had disposed of what had been down there, leaving everyone crestfallen at their hope of escaping being crushed.

##### Gambler's Ornament

This is a small scene unlocked if you have the **Gamble of Ornament** (or **Gambler's Ornament**) present in your possession by the third in-game day of chapter 3.

Upon leaving the dining hall on the third in-game day of chapter 3, Haruhiko would also leave, asking Yuki if he would like to try the slot machines in the casino, the reason being that Yuki would always get jackpots due to his luck. If you don't have the present in your possession, Yuki disagrees, and a normal free time event occurs, but if you do, he agrees, and he goes along with Haruhiko.

When Yuki and Haruhiko enter the casino, they find Teruya, Kinji and Satsuki already there. Haruhiko only knew of Satsuki and Teruya being there, so he asks Kinji why he was in the casino. Kinji responds that the casino was noisy and went to investigate, finding Teruya and Satsuki at a slot machine, and called it an "interesting nightlife entertainment". Kinji also explains that although gambling isn't something priests can really do, as long as it's confessed, there isn't a problem. After the conversation about religion ends, Yuki is forced onto the slot machine, the others witnessing and marvelling as he gets one jackpot after another. When Yuki leaves the casino, he is quite annoyed.

#### Chapter 4

The day after Kinji's execution, Satsuki would meet up with Akane and Yuki at the dining hall, then investigate the fourth floor. She would investigate the hallways and classrooms with Akane, finding the windows were again, bolted shut. Haruhiko and Teruya would join their investigation reports, and Satsuki would leave when the boys begin to show despair for the situation. The next morning, she would go to the dining hall again, but the mood would be incredibly tense. Monokuma would then call all the students to the ballroom. When they gather there, Monokuma tells them he prepared a dance party to help lift their spirits up. The students are skeptical, so Monokuma prepares a memorandum that he signs to prove his intentions. The students go into change rooms divided by sex to change into ballroom outfits, Satsuki being the last one out as she didn't know how to wear a dress. Monokuma then tells them to form pairs in order to begin dancing, Satsuki asking Haruhiko to form a pair after Akane and Yuki.

Music begins to play as the pairs dance, and after they are finished dancing, Monokuma leads them to a dining hall to eat. Everyone is lively and having fun until Teruya asks to save some food, and Akane asks to change her clothes, to which Monokuma denies. He then tells the students they aren't allowed to leave or change, and Tsurugi would bolt out of his seat, Rei walking after him. Yuki, Akane, Mikako and Teruya would follow Rei and Tsurugi, while Haruhiko and Satsuki would stay behind and continue to eat.

A little while after, the others would rush into the dining room to find she and Haruhiko had eaten almost all of the food and explain the situation to them. Satsuki and the others would then investigate the ballroom, Satsuki investigating a hallway with many doors on both sides. While talking with Yuki, they would find that the hallway is where they were meant to sleep while in the ballroom. After they had reconvened and presented their findings, Monokuma would call them all to the dance hall to distribute keys to the dorm rooms to each student. He would also announce the fourth motive, which is the ballroom itself, making it impossible to leave unless killing someone. Monokuma also tells them that they aren't permitted suicide, and that the reason for getting rid of their clothes was to prevent them from unlocking the door using their student handbooks. They are also told that all rules except the vandalism and violence against Monokuma rules are void while in the ballroom, there is no set 'night time' and the morning and night broadcasts will change.

Monokuma would sound the nighttime broadcast, though they don't have to sleep or stay in their rooms. In order to keep order, Yuki instructs Teruya, Akane, Mikako, Haruhiko and Satsuki to stay in their rooms as normal. The next morning, the six gather in the dining hall, Akane distributing the food in an appropriate way. Due to their overeating the previous day, Satsuki and Haruhiko bypass two meals. The six meet back up again at dinner, only to find the amount of food had decreased more than it should have. That night at dinner, they begin to lose hope about getting out when Monokuma shows up and says they can leave if they kill, but he tells them he'll reward their investigation. Monokuma had hidden a treasure within the ballroom, and would reward the person who finds it. He also mentions that the prize for finding the treasure is something the students have lost.

In the morning on the sixth day, Akane and the other five students in their group find there's no more food left. Mikako accuses Haruhiko of eating some of the food at dawn, saying that she'd been camping at the dining room entrance since the day before. Mikako also says that Satsuki had eaten the food alongside Haruhiko. Teruya becomes livid with them for eating and blaming it on Tsurugi and Rei. Haruhiko attempts to defend himself, but only exposes himself and Satsuki. That night, Teruya voices his despair at the situation, causing everyone to begin fighting, but Rei would walk in to hear the details of the food situation. Mikako tells her what Satsuki and Haruhiko had done, and when Haruhiko attempts to blame her for the food depletion, she says that neither Tsurugi nor her had eaten very much since the second day. She then shows them some food she had found in Teruya's dorm room, saying he had hidden food for himself without the others noticing. Haruhiko becomes angry and gets in Teruya's face to voice his hypocrisy. Haruhiko shoves Teruya into Yuki, and Teruya does the same to Haruhiko. Yuki and Satsuki restrain the two, and Rei comments that means of escape other than murder is impossible.

Around two days later, Yuki would find Satsuki in the dance hall, running around in her own little world. Later that day, Yuki calls everyone besides Tsurugi and Rei to the dining hall to come up with a policy on how to act in the future. Teruya comes up with the idea that two people sacrifice themselves, and opts to pick who by drawing lots. Tsurugi then walks into the dining hall and gives everyone a gun to commit mass suicide. Haruhiko and Yuki attempt to stop him, but Tsurugi throws them into the side of the fridge. Yuki attempts to calm Tsurugi down, and Tsurugi goes to tackle him but trips on a bit of the carpet. The others tie him up, gag him and leave him in his room, Mikako holding his room key in the event he needs to be let out.

That night, Haruhiko would go to her room and ask to walk with her. Once reaching the arsenal, he would ask her to kill him as he felt guilty for eating all the food on the first day in the ballroom, but gives her a choice as this would mean she would get executed. She agrees, also feeling guilty, but asks him to kill her instead. The two begin fighting and are stuck at an impasse until Haruhiko proposes they have a duel where they will shoot each other from a distance. Satsuki agrees and they prepare their guns. They prepare to duel and shoot, her bullet hitting his right lung as his hand is blown apart.

He falls on his back due to his weakened state, and he tells her of his true intentions with the plan as she crouches over him in distress. He didn't mean for the others to live through his plan, but rather for her to live as the sole survivor. He explains it was because he had found the prize Monokuma had hidden a few days before, and his reward was a picture of them kissing taken during their school life at Kibōgamine Gakuen. He then confesses feelings for her and urges for her to leave. She runs out tearfully, and he prepares the arsenal in a locked-room mystery. The next morning, she would be alerted to the arsenal by the flashbangs that are set off when Yuki and Teruya open the arsenal door. Monokuma immediately gives them all food to recover their stamina in order to investigate, and everyone is also given their normal clothes and student handbooks back.

The first thing she says during the trial is that she is the blackened due to her guilt of killing Haruhiko and not wanting the other students to die for something she did. However, due to Teruya's involvement in the case, she wasn't believed until the full chain of events was discovered.

Her execution goes as follows: she is seen standing in a barrel with slots in it, with only her head visible out of a hole in the top. The camera pans over to a Monokuma that is holding a green sword. He throws it and it gets impaled in the barrel, impaling Satsuki as well. This repeats until the barrel is covered in differently coloured swords and many Monokumas throwing many swords at once. Satsuki is soon seen to be hanging from the ceiling, blood dripping from the stab wounds on her body.

#### Chapter 5

It is revealed Satsuki's dead body is stored on the first floor of the laboratory/fifth floor of the presumed Kibōgamine Gakuen.

#### Chapter 0

Satsuki is called an idiot by Haruhiko for beating him in a couple's game. She'd tell Haruhiko that her brother had gotten movie tickets for the two of them before noticing Yuki. She remarks that he always ignores her, calling herself a ghost, and asks what's wrong, but he wouldn't respond.

#### Chapter 6

In a flashback of Utsuro's memories during the trial, Satsuki is seen with Haruhiko overhearing a argument between Mikako and Yamato. After the fight ends and Mikako runs off, Haruhiko and Satsuki would scold him and tell him to talk with someone about his troubles, but Yamato would decline.

## Talent & Abilities

### Clown

Perhaps due to her talent as a clown, Satsuki is an energetic person who can perform many different acts: flying dishes as an example. However, Satsuki describes that she isn't as good as her siblings, saying that she's the weakest clown in her family.
