**Ko** **Ogino** (荻野 コウおぎの こう, *Ogino Ko*) is a minor antagonist in the series. He is a former student at Shuchi'in Academy.

## Appearance

Ogino's middle school look is short black hair that has bangs parted at the middle and long eyelashes.

## Personality

Ogino has two different personalities:

* On the surface, he appears to be friendly and attractive.
* In reality, he is cruel, manipulative and a skilled liar who is a two-faced snake who was very condescending and patronizing when Yu Ishigami found out about his secret.

## History

### Background

Ogino attended Shuchi'in Middle School where he was fairly popular among his peers due to being the president of the drama club. During this time, he dated Kyoko Ootomo. However, unbeknownst to her or anyone else, Ogino was a playboy who was cheating on her with another girl.

One day, however, a phone conversation with his secret second girlfriend was overheard by Yu Ishigami and he confronted him. Ogino tried to bribe Ishigami into staying quiet by offering him a pornographic picture of Kyoko. However, this instead provoked him into beating him up while their whole class watched. Taking advantage of this, Ogino then blackmailed Ishigami into staying quiet, lest he shares the lewd picture. He subsequently put up an act of Ishigami being stalker who was his relationship with Kyoko, making himself look like the victim. With Ishigami unable to make any sensical retort, the students and teachers all went with Ogino's false story, causing Ishigami to get suspended until he wrote an official Letter of Apology to Ogino.

Afterward, Ogino would use the incident as an excuse to break up with Kyoko and they would later go to different high schools with him entering to Shuchi'in High School. There was still one problem plaguing him, however: even a year later, Ishigami had still not send him the Apology Letter, causing him to fear that he was plotting revenge. Ogino would end up being right, in a way, as the Student Council uncovered the truth and allowed Ishigami to return to school. However, to protect Kyoko, the truth was covered up. Instead, vice-president Kaguya Shinomiya revealed Ogino's crimes to various VIPs visiting Shuchi'in, ruining any prospects he could have gained from graduating the esteemed private academy and prompting him to transfer out.

### Sport Festival Arc

About a year later, Kyoko Ootomo visited Shuchi'in High School for the Sports Festival. Due to still not knowing that Ogino cheated on her and used her to blackmail Yu Ishigami, she hoped to meet Ogino there, only to be saddened upon learning of his transfer.

### End of Secrets Arc

Tsubame Koyasu, having learned the truth from Kobachi Osaragi, would later hatch a scheme to eradicate the last traces of Ogino's influence and clear Ishigami's name once-and-for-all. Working with several popular students, she spread rumors that Ogino had blackmailed Yu Ishigami while omitting that it was with a pornographic picture of Kyoko Ootomo and successfully rebuild his reputation whilst ruining what remained of Ogino's at Shuchi'in High School.

## Relationships

### Kyoko Ootomo

**Kyoko Ootomo** is Ogino's ex-girlfriend in middle school, but it is likely that he never really loved her as he was willing to use her as a bargaining chip against Yu Ishigami.

### Yu Ishigami

**Yu Ishigami** is the person that Ogino threatened and got punched from in middle school. After Ishigami refused to write an apology letter, Ogino became anxious of him and eventually moved to another school, seperating his ties with Kyoko Ootomo and Ishigami.

## Etymology

* Ko's surname **Ogino** means "reed, rush" (荻) (**ogi**) and "field, wilderness" (野) (**no**).

## Trivia

* Ogino was extremely scared and paranoid about Yu Ishigami because he went to great lengths not to submit to him and so he was paranoid he might come for revenge.
* Ogino probably had another girlfriend where he was hooking up with her while he was still together with Kyoko Ootomo.
* In Ishigami's flashback, Ogino's eyes were shown in the manga, but the anime shows him having no eyes, which represents Ishigami's view of his classmates at the time. Later flashback's in the manga, it shows him having no eyes.
* Fumiya Takahashi, who portrayed Ogino in the live-action films, is more famous for playing Aruto Hiden, the titular hero of the Tokusatsu series *Kamen Rider Zero-One*. Quite notably, Aruto's character is far and away completely different from Ogino's, being very much a kind person as opposed to Ogino's selfish personality.
