## History

### Early Life

Mata was born into a privileged family with a long line of hitmen as well as a prestigious Yakuza family, soon to be taking the throne of it. Naturally, he'd have to have the skills and the means to end someone's life. A skill he didn't want to have. His father wasn't taking no for an answer and sent him overseas to a special boot camp. He became a test subject for mental and physical enhancement studies and was used as a bioweapon in war. His unit was deemed too dangerous for warfare and was ordered to be eliminated. Losing an eye in the process, he managed to escape onto a boat and went back home, where he discovered the true nature of his father. He had driven his mother to suicide through abuse and working her to death, as well as having several affairs. Mata killed his father, and eventually became the leader of the Amamiya Family, trying to undo his father's misdeeds and restore the family's honor. He enrolled in Hope's Peak, wanting to further hone his skills to bring the family to its former glory. He later fell in love with Chiba Sakura.

### Danganronpa: Midsummer Island Paradise

Mata, along with Class 75, went on a school-funded cruise. The cruise appeared to hit something, and the ship began sinking. Later arriving on an abandoned island with the rest of the class. Revealed by Monokuma, he became a part of the Mutual Game of Killing.

#### Chapter 1

Mata decided to explore the island while taking detailed notes. Along with the rest of the class, he brought to light the killer of Konya Hisahi.

#### Chapter 2

After Monokuma revealed the next motive, he proposed that someone guards the piece of paper that could supposedly kill anyone who's name was written. He initially offered to take the job, but Aiko insisted to take it. He was later accused of using the paper to kill Ranmaru and use their friendship to close in and deceive everyone. He then led the class to the verdict of Bianca using the paper to stay with Ranmaru forever.

#### Chapter 3

He aided the investigation of Kaoru, Nikko, and Ayumu's sudden disappearances. He was one of the first to discover the mutilated body from whoever was unlucky enough to be pushed into a giant fan. He also assisted Konya in untying Nikko.

#### Chapter 4

He was erased along with the rest of the group by the A.I. Izanami, to later reunite with Kaoru. After escaping the simulation, Mata helped fend off Future Foundation with the help of Monokuma and Peko Pekoyama, The Ultimate Swordswoman.

#### Epilogue

During the aftermath of "The Tragedy", he helped fight off what was left of the Ultimate Despairs with Peko Pekoyama and Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu.

## Personality

Mata usually keeps to himself and stays away from others. He doesn't try to make friends at all. He's calmed and composed in almost any situation. Once you get through his hard outer shell, he's pretty enjoyable to be around. In DRC, this [REDACTED]

## Relationships

### Kaoru Komarov

Mata genuinely cares about Kaoru and his well-being. He often teases him for being almost identical to Ayumu Fujimori.

### Ranmaru Kageyama

Mata and Ranmaru are best friends. During chapter 2 when the notification "Kill Ranmaru" showed up, Mata genuinely feared for Ranmaru's life, not knowing whether to kill him or not. He was angry when he saw the others attempting to kill him for the motive.

### Aiko Hasegawa

Mata considers Aiko a mutual companion. He offered to guard chapter 2's motive but was ultimately turned down. He also investigated with her during chapter 3 along with Itsuko "Sumi" Sumiko.

### Itsuko "Sumi" Sumiko

Mata generally likes having Sumi around and occasionally drops a joke or 2 around her. He aided her in investigating along with Aiko Hasegawa.

## Abilities

As a hitman, ending someone's life is like a second language. However, Mata possesses many other abilities such as his High Gear, a form where his hair turns a pale white and his entire body heats up and strengthens as well as fuels his body with adrenaline. This form also causes great physical stress and can even cause loss of limbs. Through his "training" overseas, he's grown strong without having to use High Gear, it wouldn't be an understatement to say he's not human.
