**Jirō Togami** (十神二郎 *Togami Jirō*) was a supporting character in *Danganronpa: Togami*. He was one of the selected participants in the Legacy Crown Championship and was ranked Silver.

## History

### Prior Life

Jirō was the second oldest child of Maina Togami, making him the full-blooded sibling to Ichirō Togami, Saburō Togami and Shirō Togami. During his teenage years, Jirō would be scouted to become the Super High School Level Karate Master. Jirō would 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, he 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.

### Legacy Crown Championship

When the championship begun Jirō was taken to Tōajō Castle to begin the competition for real, learning that in order to win the 'reliance' must be found. From there, Jirō got into an argument with Yūsuke Togami after the gourmet complained about the ranking system, which had Jirō comment he should drop out and that its a gourmet's job to judge others upon Yūsuke declaring he won't be judged. Ultimately, their argument is broken up by Asagao Togami. Following that, Jirō was apart of the crowd of siblings to give out his dream if he were to win the competition. While he didn't seem particularly interested in running the conglomerate himself, he would do anything to win a competition.

On the fourth day, Jirō was apart of a group of siblings to discover Asagao's headless body in the gourmet's room and was noted to be quieter than usual by Kazuya Togami when they met in the cafeteria to discuss matters. When Jirō asks if Yūsuke had anything to do with it, the alcoholic snaps at him and responds that during that time he was taking a walk before drinking with Mitsuzō Togami. He then angrily goes on about how a silver-ranked Super High School Level student can’t understand, which nearly starts a fight between the two. However, Takaya Togami responds that should try to focus on getting rid of the unease around them. Thus, they came to an agreement to find Asagao's head, though Jirō insulted Yūsuke by calling him dramatic as soon after the gourmet showcased more of his belligerent side prior to leaving the cafeteria.

As part of the search party looking for Asagao's head, Jirō would be among those to discover it outside. Once Yūsuke finds it outside, he goes ballistic and tries to get the head, but is knocked out by Jirō with a karate chop to the back of the neck. Following that, the search party would meet with Ichirō and several others who were at the pond and had discovered Wasuke Togami's corpse. Ichirō gathered the siblings that he could into the cafeteria to announce that Wasuke died on the third day and it was from a stab wound. On the fifth day, Ichirō, Takaya and Jirō ‘interrogate’ Yūsuke whose screams can be heard from outside of the room they were in. They leave the room to announce that Yūsuke hasn’t confessed to anything. On the sixth day, Jirō was apart of the meeting following Yūsuke's death, learning that Yūsuke made the suicide device used in both his and Asagao's death, how Asagao committed suicide (with Yūsuke hiding that fact), and uncertainty regarding Wasuke's murder.

Unfortunately for Jirō, his older brother would be found dead five hours later. Jirō would find the body alongside Eyumi Togami and Aloysius Pennyworth. With Ichirō dead, Jirō falls into a fierce depression that leaves him utterly zoned out and aimlessly walking the halls, something that is discovered by Kazuya on the the seventh day (which makes Kazuya wonders if what he was witnessing the result of losing your full-blooded sibling). On the ninth day of the competition, Yoru Togami was found beheaded in her own room. Suisei Nanamura (a detective hired to solve the murders) says that the culprit has used up all their luck and gathers everyone, aside from Saburō and Suzuhiko Togami into the cafeteria, in order to reveal the mysteries of the case. First of all, he claims Asa Togami never existed and that what was by Yoru's side was just a doll made to look like her, with Yoru supporting said doll and making her talk via prerecorded lines. Suisei theorizes it was to increase Yoru's chances of winning, and that burning her 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. Suisei says that there's only been three murders in the competition out of all these deaths so far: the murders of Wasuke, Ichirō and Yoru. He concludes that the only three that could do it based off of a lack of alibis, had to be Kazuya, Suzuhiko and Saburō. After a long silence, he reveals that murderer was Kazuya. Kazuya tries to argue back, but when Suisei presents Yoru's head that was apparently found in Kazuya's room, its enough to win the argument and send the alleged killer to the dungeon.

Later on, though, Mitsuzō would be found dead with a confession note that he did the murders instead, thus acquitting Kazuya. With his client gone, Suisei left, thus leaving the survivors to focus back on the championship. With the murders apparently solved, the participants eat at the cafeteria. It was after that period where Jirō would be approached by Takaya, who manipulates him in his zoned out state into believing everyone else had killed Ichirō. Becoming enraged, Jirō storms in the kitchen, takes a knife and attacks Aloysius. This commotion causes Kazuya and Blue Ink to appear on the scene and witness Jirō stabbing their butler. Jirō attacks the two before being Eyumi walks onto the scene and screams. Turning to her, Jirō attacks Eyumi and manages to kill her. Before he can continue his on his prior targets, he's intercepted by Suzuhiko, who allows his siblings to escape whilst he fights Jirō.

Eventually, Jirō would break away from their fight and make his way over to Ink's room. Entering it easily thanks to stealing Aloysius master key, he's prepares to attack them. Kazuya manifests his 'power' in preparation to fight Jirō, but before that could happen Suzuhiko stabs him in the back, killing the karate master.

### 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 Jirō Togami actually existed or, if they did exist, their depiction is actually his personality. If Jirō did actually exist, he 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

Aside from being described as muscular, and a young man, Jirō has no other description.

## Personality

Competitive and hot-blooded, Jirō is one of the more aggressive participants in the championship, albeit not really hostile unless provoked. He's prone to getting into fierce arguments, and even insulting, with those that he dislikes. Jirō has no qualms in using force in attempts to the results that he desires, such as his participation in his torture of Yūsuke. While he has no real interest in the conglomerate, Jirō's passion in competing has lead to him wanting to give it his all to win the championship. He loved his older brother tremendously, and fell into a depressive state once Ichirō fell victim to the killings on the island. In this state, Jirō was shown to be easy to manipulate. Once in a rage, Jirō is impossible to reason with and has no problem in killing anyone believed to be the cause of his problems, even if they are his siblings (thus needing someone to put him down).

### Shirō Togami, Ichirō Togami & Saburō Togami

Jirō had a strong bond with Ichirō and upon losing his elder brother, it was enough to put him in a aimless, depressed, state and avenging Ichirō was the main cause of his murderous rampage later on. For Shirō, their interactions do imply they have a solid bond and were able to work together just fine during their investigations. However, during Jirō's rampage, Shirō assessed that even his brother couldn't defeat an assassin like Suzuhiko. It's unknown what Jirō's relationship with Saburō is, but it can be assumed he had a fairly stable bond with him as well.

### Yūsuke Togami

Yūsuke and Jirō disliked each other heavily, with both being prone to arguing heavily with each other and being close to fighting each other. Most of this had to do with their similarly clashing hot-headed and aggressive natures. Likewise, this meant that Jirō had no problems with knocking out Yūsuke with a karate chop or violent torturing him during Yūsuke's interrogation.

### Takaya Togami

Takaya and Jirō seemed to have a fairly decent relationship, with both investigating together and Jirō even taking Takaya's advice on focusing their efforts to wards finding Asagao's head instead of fighting with Yūsuke. Likewise, both had no problems on working to torture Yūsuke in their interrogation of him. When Jirō fell into a depression, he had trusted Takaya enough to believe the agitator on the others being responsible for Ichirō's death. For Takaya, Jirō was merely a pawn used in an attempt to clear away the rest of the participants of the championship.
