Mitsuzō Togami

**Mitsuzō Togami** (十神蜜造 *Togami Mitsuzō*) was a supporting character in *Danganronpa: Togami*. He was one of the selected participants in the Legacy Crown Championship and was ranked Bronze.

## History

### Prior Life

Mitsuzō was the eldest child of Yoshie Togami, making him the older brother to Takaya Togami. Mitsuzō would would later be selected to be apart of the Legacy Crown Championship, serving as one of the chosen fifteen picked to compete in it. Prior to the championship's official start, he would attend vacances at the site of the competition, Tōajō Castle - a castle built on the Togami Family's private island, with the other chosen siblings as a way to gauge the competition prior to its start.

### Legacy Crown Championship

When the championship begun Mitsuzō was taken to Tōajō Castle to begin the competition for real, learning that in order to win the 'reliance' must be found. Following that, Mitsuzō was apart of the crowd of siblings to give out his dream if he were to win the competition. Mitsuzō declared that his dream, should he become heir, was just to have a feast with all of his siblings.

On the fourth day, Mitsuzō was drinking with Yūsuke prior the body of Asagao Togami being found. Following the reports of both Asagao and Wasuke Togami's demise, Mitsuzō was present in the cafeteria to hear the report about it from Ichirō Togami and joined in on the discussion on how this incident oculd have happened. On the fifth day, Mitsuzō would witness Yūsuke's cries of pain while Ichirō, Jirō Togami and Takaya interrogated him in a separate room. Frightened over the 'torture' that he heard, Mitsuzō quickly walked away, pretending that he had heard nothing.

On the sixth day, Mitsuzō is there for the meeting in the cafeteria following the death of Yūsuke. There, Mitsuzō listens to the report made by Ichirō, concerning the fact that Yūsuke was the one that created the suicide device (which was used on both the gourmet and Asagao), that Asagao killed herself (instead of being murdered like people suspected), and Yūsuke hid the suicide aspect of Asagao's death. Mitsuzō gets upset during the meeting when his younger brother declares he found the suicide device and if anyone wanted to see Yūsuke's head. Mitsuzō asks about Wasuke's death, but Ichirō is uncertain about who killed him, or whether the culprit was alive or dead. Mitsuzō panics, but is told by Ichirō that with the eldest dead, Mitsuzō should take charge as the second eldest. However, Mitsuzō declares he is just an average joe and can only be held reliable for himself. Thus, Ichirō takes charge, which causes Mitsuzō to ask if he's certain nothing bad will happen considering that they lost Wasuke from an item that shouldn't have been on the island in the first place. Ichirō reassures him that, as long as the surgeon is alive, everything will be fine. Unfortunately, five hours later, Ichirō was found dead.

Mitsuzō is heavily panicking and is talking with Takaya on escaping the island. Takaya, however, reminds him that they can't leave since they on an island and that his agitator talent (something that Mitsuzō told him to use in order to win and escape quickly) was unsuitable for winning the championship. Mitsuzō begins to think and comes to conclusion that while participants were stuck there, that doesn't mean they can't send the Makabes in their boat to retrieve help for this situation (something that gets Takaya to tease Mitsuzō that his talent is using people). Mitsuzō makes a call and on the seventh day, Suisei Nanamura and his assistant, Polaris P. Polanski arrives on the island to solve the deaths on their client's behalf (with Mitsuzō paying them a good fee as a down payment). Aloysius Pennyworth disagrees with their involvement, but the Makabes had already taken the last boat to ditch the championship, thus Suisei and Polaris were stuck there.

It's the ninth day of the championship, following Yoru's demise, where Suisei calls the survivors to the cafeteria in order to solve the mystery, with only Saburō Togami and Suzuhiko Togami not coming to the location. First of all, he claims Asa Togami never existed and that what was by Yoru's side was just a doll made to look like her, with Yoru supporting said doll and making her talk via prerecorded lines. Suisei theorizes it was to increase Yoru's chances of winning, and that burning her was what Yoru thought was the 'reliance' Kijō had wanted: a brilliant mystery and to achieve that having a person's body completely disappear would be considered brilliant in her eyes. Suisei notes that while she was on the right track, Yoru's idea was poor and Kijō remained unimpressed. When Mitsuzō questions on what the 'reliance' is, Suisei says its their job to figure out, he's only being paid to solve the murders. Suisei says that there's only been three murders in the competition out of all these deaths so far: the murders of Wasuke, Ichirō and Yoru. He concludes that the only three that could do it based off of a lack of alibis, had to be Kazuya, Suzuhiko and Saburō. Suisei says that he had proof on who did the murders and after a long silence, he reveals that murderer was Kazuya Togami.

Kazuya denies such accusations, during of which he tries to redirect the blame towards Mitsuzō and Takaya pulling off the misdeeds, but Susei points out the duo both had alibis and it would be illogical to hire a detective if they wanted to get away with it. Ultimately, what drives the nail into Kazuya's coffin is Suisei producing Yoru's head, which he apparently found in Kazuya's room. This causes Mitsuzō to screech like a girl and call for Kazuya to be thrown into the dungeon, convinced the young man had did it.

Unfortunately for Mitsuzō, not long after Kazuya had been thrown into the dungeon, he would be manipulated by Takaya into writing a false confession of sorts, before being made to put a noose around his neck, which was connected to his ceiling. Because of Mitsuzō's room having the ability to move up and down, akin to an elevator, Takaya used such an ability to essentially hang his own brother and frame him for the murders. From there, Kazuya would be released and Susei would leave the island via helicopter with the death of his client. Kazuya would learn the truth during his own investigation, but by then Takaya would have already gone on to manipulate Jirō into attacking the rest of his siblings.

### K2K System

Later on its revealed that the above was apart of a fabricated flashback created by the K2K System. As a result, it can be said that no person actually died during the actual Legacy Crown Championship, as according to Byakuya Togami's account. It is unknown if Mitsuzō Togami actually existed or, if they did exist, their depiction is actually his personality. If Mitsuzō did actually exist, he would have eventually be wiped out with the rest of the Togami Family, aside from Byakuya, according to Junko Enoshima during the Killing School Life.

## Appearance

Aside from being a man in his late twenties, and wearing glasses, much of Mitsuzō's description is unknown. Given he is related to Takaya, it is likely he also had light brown hair like his younger brother.

## Personality

Compared to his younger brother, Takaya, Mitsuzō is much more cowardly, quick to panic, and outwardly selfish, being utterly scared from the killings that happened during the championship and wanting nothing more than be rid of them for his own safety. Mitsuzō shows a distaste for wanting to deal with anything difficult or violent, such as pretending not to see his siblings beat up Yūsuke during their interrogation of the gourmet. This avoidance of responsibility goes as far as Mitsuzō refusing to take charge of his younger siblings following the deaths of the eldest, trying to hide behind being a regular person to avoid dealing with the strain of it all, yet expected those younger than him to do a better job. However, when pushed enough, Mitsuzō is clever enough to go about using loopholes when restricted and has no qualms in paying exorbitant amounts of money of having his problems solved, like hiring Suisei to solve the murders. Prior to the carnage of the championship, his dream (had he won) was to have a feast with his all siblings, implying that he was genuinely fond of his family and a lavish taste to him. Yūsuke's alibi implies that, despite the gourmet's rough personality, Mitsuzō is personable enough for both to be drinking partners.

### Takaya Togami

Takaya is Mitsuzō's younger brother and, thus, the person Mitsuzō is generally closest with during the championship. However, both personality's tend to heavily lead them to approach situations differently given Mitsuzō's fearful attitude compared to Takaya's relative casual air concerning horrific events. Thus, Takaya is more involved in trying to solve the murders, whilst Mitsuzō opted to do as little as possible until he felt pressed to do so. Mitsuzō wanted both to drop out and leave after the murders began, and even pushed Takaya to win in his desperate state. Ultimately, Takaya desired becoming the heir no matter what, and would even murder Mitsuzō to help achieve those goals, showcasing the lack of love he had for his elder brother.

## Trivia

* Mitsuzō is the second eldest of the Togami Family.
* Mitsuzō is the only of the murdered participants in the championship to be murdered by his full-blooded sibling, rather than his half or step-sibling.
