## Iekami-Triste Hanzo

**Iekami-Triste Hanzo** was a student at Hope's Peak Reform School and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Project Reform (V1). His title was Super High School Level Faith Healer.

## History

### Early Life

Born to Iekami Hiroto and Mexican-born Cecilia Triste, REIKIGO was the youngest son and child. He was expected from birth to follow the path of a samurai, as all of his paternal male ancestors had before him. Although raised traditionally Japanese, REIKIGO was very invested in hearing about his mother's homeland.

He took a specific interest in the Catholic religion that Cecilia spoke of from time to time, and although she wasn't particularly adamant about her faith, REIKIGO was. He did everything in his power to learn more about Catholicism.

Although resigned to his fate as a samurai, once REIKIGO's sister Camila chose to leave the family home to pursue her own ideas, he began to consider what could be if he, too, had the choice. Following in Camila's footsteps, REIKIGO abandoned his family's legacy to become more involved in the Catholic faith.

### REIKIGO

Stepping into the world of the Catholic faith, REIKIGO decided to go one step further to distance himself from the Iekami Clan by taking on a "stage name" to use to further hide his identity. He allowed himself to wear and act more flamboyant.

As REIKIGO gained followers, he made it very clear that what he was teaching was not a cult. All he wanted was to bring peace and happiness to those who came to him through his faith healing, and he produced high positive results in that respect. However, as his results and presence became more well-known and more popular, the Japanese government called REIKIGO's practice fraudulent and cultist, resulting in his transference to the Hope's Peak Academy Reform Academy.

## Appearance

REIKIGO is a tall, but wispy, young man, standing at 167 cm. He has little to no muscle, and is overall slim. He has a tan complexion and soft blue eyes that are framed by long eyelashes.

Cropped to mid-length, REIKIGO's hair is naturally brown but he dyes it blonde, allowing only the lower tips to retain their natural color as an ombré pattern. REIKIGO takes meticulous care of his facial appearance, keeping his eyebrows trimmed neatly; he also tends to wear make-up, favoring the color blue in his eye-shadow, and occasionally, lipstick.

REIKIGO wears many accessories, including large, decorative gold-and-ruby earrings in the shape of a cross, and a less conspicuous, humble golden necklace with a cross pendant. Despite his flashy appearance with make-up and accessories, REIKIGO retains a simple wardrobe.

## Personality

The face that REIKIGO lends to the outside world is exactly what he feels the better half of him is. This is the exuberant, outgoing persona that he first debuted when he went onstage with his faith healing. He appealed to crowds with charisma, and dealt out his healing with kindness and a wonderful bedside manner.

While keeping up this flamboyant nature, REIKIGO also manages to separate taboo from it. He refrains from cursing or making distasteful jokes, and he is wont to chide those who do. He has a very similar contradictory outlook on cults, remaining adamant that the followers he gained were never in any threat of being used; REIKIGO is very against cults.

## Talent

### Ultimate Faith Healer

Refusing to follow in his paternal family's footsteps in becoming a samurai, REIKIGO decided to carve his own fate out. Having always been interested in his mother's religion, he eventually learned all he could and set out to do what he could to help others in the way that he felt God would have wanted. REIKIGO's methods of faith healing eventually garnered a large following, and although his practice produced many positive results, he was targeted by the government as a cult leader.

## Quotes

### Danganronpa: Project Reform (V1)

**Chapter One:**

* "My healing is based in trust in God. I never claimed my practice was more effective than scientific practices."

## Trivia

* The given name Hanzō is taken from the Kanji 半蔵, with 半 meaning "half" and 蔵 meaning "to hide". Famously, the samurai Hattori Hanzou bore this name; this relevance being that Hanzō's paternal family comes from a long line of samurai.
* Hanzō claims two surnames; from his father, "家神" or "iekami" meaning "home god", and from his mother, "Triste" meaning "sad".
