## History

### Background

Little is currently known about Hiyori's background. At some point in time she was scouted as the Super High School Level Chauffeur.

### Killing School Life

Hiyori was one of sixteen freshmen students admitted into Hope's Peak Academy. After waking up in the school building she investigated the laundry room, where she later introduced herself to Hiruto Iwada and Mayu Ego. Later, Hiyori met with the rest of her class at the school's entrance, where they discussed their situation. However, before they were able to come to any clear conclusion, an anonymous announcement asked for everyone to meet in the Gymnasium, where the opening ceremony was meant to begin. When they arrived they instead met the school's headmaster, a monochromatic bear called Monokuma, who revealed the student's were trapped in the school to participate in a killing game. Angered by this Justin Blade, the Super High School Level Bounty Hunter, tried to apprehend Monokuma. As a low beep began to emit throughout the room, Mayu warned him to get away. Moments later, Monokuma exploded after being thrown away.

Despite his supposed death, Monokuma reappeared in front of the student's and began to explain the rules of the killing game. Not long after this everyone began to leave the Gymnasium to investigate the school building. During the investigation Hiyori joined Shoji Shinano and Misaki Kuzu, investigating the private rooms with them. The next morning the class was called back to the Gymnasium by Monokuma, who introduced them to a latecomer; Nozomi Miyuki. In order to learn more about him the student's took Nozomi back to the Dining Hall, where they soon learned he suffered from some form of amnesia. Completely stripped of his ability to remember past memories, his memories became suspect to the other student's, some of whom believed his memories could be the key to escaping the school. However, Erika Jumonji questioned whether this was just a cover-up, and believed he could have been involved in the killing game in some way. The class split up after this.

After the class received their first motive, a video which showed footage of everyone's closest thing in danger, Hiyori was a part of a small group of participants who tried to convince Hiruto to rejoin everyone. Despite their attempts being successful, Hiruto was found dead in the classroom the next morning. Afterwards Hiyori tried to help everyone find his killer, and later witnessed Kokori Fukuoka's execution.

## Personality

When she first met Hiruto and Mayu, Hiyori was introduced as a sociable, playful, and laid-back person. Undeterred from the weird situation they were in, Hiyori believed it was 'ordinary' for the type of school they were attending, and stated that she doesn't like to think about 'deep topics'. Later on in the conversation she asked them if they already knew each other, then teased them when they revealed they didn't.

During the early events' of the Killing Game, Hiyori often attended the morning meetings. When the class received their first motive, Hiyori was a part of a small group of participants who tried to convince Hiruto to rejoin everyone, following his decision to close himself off. During the Class Trial and other moments of the game, Hiyori is scolded for her 'idiotic behaviour' by several of her classmates.
