Hitoranran

* Real-life info
* Fictional info

**Hitoranran** (**ひとらんらん**) is a member of ○○ no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!. Debuting alongside Koneshima in the *Hearts of Iron* video "We are the Main Characters of World War II!", he is known for his high player skills despite only having played the game for a short time before. He is also known for his good sense of diplomacy, carefully avoiding conflicts as much as he can. Unfortunately, he is currently inactive, and was last seen in a *Minecraft Werewolf* video from 2018.

## Personality

As mentioned above, Hitoranran has a good sense of diplomacy. He is very compassionate and tries to avoid war as much as possible. He also never forgets to thank people for their assistance, and usually gives double the amount of assistance in return. However, he doesn't take it well when someone backstabs him. When that happens, he becomes ruthless and thirsty for revenge. This is how he earned the nickname "Revenge Demon".

Behind his respectable façade, Hitoranran actually gets scared easily and has low tolerance for horror games. This video of him playing *Outlast* with Utsu-sensei is the biggest and most well-known example of this. However, it is said that he has 'a killing intent and alcohol' to make up for it.

## Appearance

Hitoranran is an adult man with jet black hair and black eyes. In his appearances, he can be seen wearing a pair of glasses and sometimes a white military hat.

His standing picture is roughly the same as his actual appearance, except he wears a white Imperial Japanese Navy uniform and can be seen carrying a katana. He also wears a white mask with a red "X" drawn on it, which is regarded as his most iconic accessory by fans.

## Fictional Counterparts

Below are some depictions of Hitoranran in various works.

### *Cthulhu Mythos TRPG*

Hitoranran is one of the players in Wrwrd's "Cthulhu Mythos TRPG with Rich Personalities" video series, playing as himself. His appearance is similar to his standing picture.

### *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

Currently little is known about Hitoranran's counterpart in this story, as he only appeared in the beginning of the story and was nowhere to be seen after the nuclear war. However, he is said to be a believer of Libertarianism and it is implied that he may have a more prominent role in the future, as there seems to be a connection between him and Hitoranburg, a post-nuclear war autonomous region located north of the Koneshima Kingdom's capital of Koneshimagrade. It is believed that the International Treaty of Hitoran, which mandates the destruction of all science and technology, was concluded in said region.

His appearance in the visual novel is exactly the same as his standing picture, and his appearance in the manga isn't that far off, with the only difference being the red "X" on his mask, which is colored black instead.

### *Hell Doctor KuRaRe's Science Can Solve Everything!!*

In this manga, Hitoranran is a young boy in his fourth year of elementary school. Much like his classmate, Utsu-kun (based on Utsu-sensei), Hitoranran also gets caught up in the scientific experiments of their eccentric teacher KuRaRe. He seems to be quite perverted, and can be seen reading erotic magazines at some point. He has spiky black hair, and wears an outfit composed of a white T-shirt, black trousers, and a pair of sneakers. He also wears glasses with opaque lenses and the same mask as his counterpart in the other manga.

## Etymology

Apparently his name is a combination of "Hitler" (**ヒトラー**, *Hitorā*) and the Japanese internet slang "Ran-pig" (**らん豚**, *Ran Buta*), which is sometimes referred to as "Ranran" instead.
