Asa Togami

**Asa Togami** (十神朝 *Togami Asa*) was a supporting character in *Danganronpa: Togami*. She was one of the selected participants in the Legacy Crown Championship and was ranked Bronze.

## History

### Prior Life

Asa was the eldest child of Anastasia Togami, making her the older sister to Yoru Togami and Hiru Togami. The triplets would later be scouted to be apart of Hope's Peak Academy as the Super High School Level Weather Forecasters. The triplets 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, they 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. However, instead of all three attending, the triplets would only send two at a time to convince the others they were twins instead of triplets. This was done in order to set-up an ace in the hole for when the championship begun. In addition, Asa had a realistic doll made of her, capable of having prerecorded messages installed and would be carried around by Yoru whilst the real Asa would be hiding.

### Legacy Crown Championship

When the triplets were called to take part in the championship officially, they devised a plan to get all three to the island. Basically Yoru and her Asa doll would ride in one boat, whilst Asa and Hiru (taking on the guise of Yoru) would ride in the other. Once they got off, both Asa and Hiru would hide themselves on the island, whilst Yoru and her Asa doll would be the main ones to interact with the others (with the occasional substitution from either Asa or Hiru).

On the eighth day, Yoru and her doll enter the library's special section. However, its then that a fire breaks out and Yoru runs out of the collections area, screaming and saying her 'twin' had died. By the time the others put out the fire, no remains of the Asa doll could have been found. When Suisei Nanamura (a detective hired to solve the murders) questioned Yoru, she explains that Asa suddenly caught on fire and knocked a bookshelf over, causing Yoru to run out of the library alone. Suisei also asked for the book she was reading as well, which was 'The Sun Also Rises'. Suisei seems satisfied with that answer, before turning around to the others and saying that there was no way a body can burn up that quickly (much to Yoru's protest).

Following Yoru's body being discovered on the ninth day, during the meeting to discover the culprit, Suisei (under the impression Asa never existed) reveals that Asa was a doll, but came to the conclusion it was just Yoru making her to increase her chances at winning. When Eyumi asked why bother burning the doll, Suisei theorizes that burning it 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 Takaya Togami went forward with his plans to become the last Togami sibling standing in order to become heir, both Asa and Hiru tried to use the chaos he sowed to kill everyone else and become the victors. Taking a knife from the kitchen, Asa ambushed Shirō Togami and Kazuya Togami in a nearby hallway, and ended getting into a struggle with the former. While she manages to fatally wound her target, he manages to get the knife away from her and stab her through the chest, killing Asa.

### 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 Asa Togami actually existed or, if they did exist, their depiction is actually Asa's personality and appearance. If Asa did actually exist, she 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

Asa has pale skin with blonde hair that's almost white in itself. In addition, she wears a white and black dress. Kazuya describes the triplet's faces as being almost artificial in nature.

## Personality

Compared to Yoru or Hiru, not much of Asa's personality is known. If she's anything like her sisters, she is self-centered and cares for no one other than her full-blooded sisters. Her ambush shows she is not above killing someone to achieve her goals, even if they are related to her. Given that she helped devise the triplets plan during the championship, it can be said she has a clever side to her and quite stealthy given her role. Her talent lends credence of her enjoying forecasting, but Yoru's comments about their dream suggests its the triplets way of trying to boost their own popularity.

### Yoru Togami & Hiru Togami

Yoru and Hiru are the only two participants that Asa seems to care about, working with both in order to achieve their goal of becoming the heir to the Togami Conglomerate to advance their own self-centered desires. While not seen interacting with her sisters, Hiru loved her enough that Kazuya insulting her demise was enough for her to fly into a rage and attack him.

## Trivia

* Asa is one of seven Hope's Peak Academy High School Division students to participate in the Legacy Crown Championship.
* As the triplets are only age 16, yet have a SHSL instead of a SJHSL talent, this could imply they have either a late birthday or have not started their time at Hope's Peak Academy and still attend their old high school from where they were scouted, or been accepted in early and skipped a grade.
