K1-B0 "Keebo"

**K1-B0**[1] (キーボ *Kībo*), also known as Jotaro Kujo's stand: Star Platinum, preferring to be known as **Keebo** (**Ki-Bo** in the original Japanese), is a student in Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles and a participant of the Killing School Semester, featured in *Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony*.

He has the title of **Ultimate Robot**[1] (超高校級の「ロボット」 *chō kōkō kyū no “robotto” lit.* Super High School Level Robot), owing to his robot body. He is a creation of Professor Idabashi.[5]

## Appearance

K1-B0 is a robot, having a fully mechanical body. Most of his body is made up of black metal resembling armored plating, and he does not wear clothes. He has two glowing spots on his chest, another two on his stomach, and two on his both wrists. He has platinum blonde hair. His waist, which resembles a belt, has a glowing red spot on the each side of his front. He also has quite a short stature.

Being a robot, he is sexless and lacks any reproductive functions, though in general his appearance and voice are considered masculine. While obviously synthetic, his voice and head resemble those of a normal human. While he usually sounds very similar to an ordinary human, his voice can turn notably more artificial when he lets out loud and long sounds like screams or attempts to sing. His skin is also very pale and his straight, platinum blond hair appears unusually sharp for a human, including a very large ahoge sticking from the top. His blue eyes are also notably mechanical and there are thick black lines around and below them. It seems he can make his eyes glow and emit some sort of beam of light from his right palm.

K1-B0 has a large metallic collar around his neck, with his school badge on the left front. A black screen goes all around the collar, displaying constantly moving and glowing green text. A softer, black material covers the area behind the collar and directly around K1-B0's neck. K1-B0 is capable of pulling it upwards to cover the lower half of his face like a mask. The collar is normally open from the front, but he can close it using two small metallic parts resembling a gate, supposedly to protect his more sensitive neck. K1-B0 has headphone-shaped objects instead of ears, and they also include black screen and green text.

Later, it is revealed that K1-B0's ahoge is an antenna that receives information from Team Danganronpa, which will take the form of an "inner voice" and persuade him to take certain actions, said actions being decided through viewers' surveys.

In the prologue, he wears the uniform of his original high school, including a student hat. The clothes are stated to look like the trending macho style. While they hide his robotic body quite well, the jacket is bulging as if it's about to burst.[6]

## Personality

K1-B0 is a polite and serious teenage robot, who has some trouble with human social interaction. Nevertheless, he takes pride in his form and often boasts about his wonderfulness and efficient functions, though the other students never seem to find them impressive much to his disappointment. His aim is to overcome being an ordinary robot and because of this, he may get offended if he is compared to much more simple machines. While generally well-mannered, he is quickly angered by any prejudice against robots and sometimes threatens to sue people who make "discriminatory remarks". He considers robots a minority group among humans and can get slightly paranoid about "robophobia", supposedly because of past experiences.

Since he is a maturing AI, K1-B0 learns and develops similarly to a human.[7] While he has no heart nor brain, he uses his calculations to speak "as if he had a heart". Even still, he often can't read the mood around him and is oblivious to things, sometimes taking things very literally and occasionally acting insensitive. Due to being overly serious about certain topics and unable to understand sarcasm, he is an easy target for bullying and it's easy to make him heated up, and he is rather easy to read. According to Izuru Kamukura in the bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan, K1-B0 has a tendency to rely on others in difficult situations, and he overall gets very nervous in bad situations. Furthermore, he feels a bit self-conscious about the fact that he cannot strengthen his body on his own like humans, and he needs help for maintenance and upgrades. Overall, he is a bit conscious about being unable to do some things humans can, causing him to proclaim that *he* can do lots of things humans *cannot*. In Chapter 4, when the students enter the program world, K1-B0 appears disappointed and secretly wished he would have a human body. He himself has also pointed out that he doesn't really like "sci-fi" things, even though his existence alone is quite sci-fi, and he would rather be more like other people instead of possessing things like rocket jets. However, he also feels insecure about being too ordinary and not deserving his title as the Ultimate Robot, which is why he has a dream of becoming a pop star or doing some other type of work. For a short time, he even considers becoming a "tragic hero" figure in order to become more interesting, with a new tragic backstory and weapons, even though it's not something he would like. In general, he has a strong desire to be accepted and be like everyone else.

K1-B0 seems to understand most human emotions and many of their habits, though some of them only in theory, and he prefers to make decisions and actions based on logic. He claims that he works very hard to understand human emotions, and he's often quite hurt and saddened whenever the other students tell him that he wouldn't understand something because he is a robot. He tends to find abstract ideas frustrating and difficult, and sometimes has a hard time understanding why someone would do something that is very illogical. In general, he can get confused and a bit uncomfortable by his strange classmates, and sometimes reminds them to speak in a way he can understand. He can also get some habits a little wrong, like confusing the action of handholding and handshaking. Like a human, he blushes when he is feeling shy and feels awkward when talking about something inappropriate, though occasionally he may say inappropriate things without realizing it due to his naivety. For example, he considers nudity very shameful and embarrassing, but doesn't seem to see anything inappropriate in going to the bathroom, as he sometimes casually tells his classmates they're free to do that if they are close to a bathroom or even telling them they can do it right there even if they're in public surrounded by people, seemingly trying to be polite with this gesture. He can be very expressive with his body language since as a robot he can move his ahoge and some other parts according to his emotions. Being a robot, he is also very innocent when compared to most teenagers, and some situations make him very nervous and shy. In Chapter 3, he claims he is ticklish and it's implied that he might be able to feel pleasure similar to sexual pleasure when sensitive spots underneath his armor get touched. In general, he doesn't seem to have very much interest in sexual matters, considering it quite scandalous and claiming at one point that he would never expose professor Idabashi's strong AI to pornography. He has also bashfully pointed out that there isn't much he can do about it anyway, since he lacks any reproductive functions. However, he secretly seems to have some interest in such subjects, as he once accidentally admitted this without thinking. When he is asked about his ability to fall in love, he says he doesn't know because he hasn't had any romantic feelings yet. In the bonus mode Love Across the Universe, it's eventually confirmed that he can fall in love and dreams of romance and intimacy. In the topic of romance, K1-B0 is shown to find the idea that robots should only date their own kind very offensive. When he does develop romantic feelings, he is shown to be very serious about the matter, assuming that you constantly have to do typical things couples do in order to truly understand love.

Overall, K1-B0 appears to be quite well-meaning and kind, and he genuinely wishes to be friends with everyone (even considering Kokichi his friend during the bonus mode). He has mentioned multiple times that he wishes to make people smile and happy. He even likes comedy movies, because he enjoys the feeling of people having fun and wishes to become a robot who can make lots of people smile someday, like a comedy movie. He is also pacifistic and refuses to hurt humans, greatly respecting the First Law of Robotics, and in general dislikes violence and weapons. He also dislikes certain action movies for the way they portray robots as evil and murderous killing machines, considering it robophobic since most robots are friendly to humans. While he can be a bit cowardly, as the most durable member of the group he is occasionally willing to protect the humans when needed and use himself as a shield against damage and harm, as he can survive hits that could kill an ordinary person.

With his logical way of thinking, K1-B0 occasionally makes correct arguments and points out important things. Some of this could be a result of his "inner voice"—voices inside his head that guide him in difficult situations. He decides to listen to them more firmly after hearing Angie Yonaga's talk about God, treating his inner voice as his God who gives him advice and cheers for him. When he's mocked for being a robot who believes in God, he says robots can do that. When his ahoge gets broken by Kaito Momota's execution, the voices get silent, causing everything to get "too quiet" for him and forcing him to use his own logic. It's later revealed that his ahoge is actually an antenna that receives information from Team Danganronpa, which will take the form of an "inner voice" and persuade him to take certain actions, said actions being decided through viewers' surveys.

When forced to make his own decisions without the inner voice, K1-B0 proves himself to extremely forceful and pragmatic, choosing the school's destruction as the most efficient way of eradicating despair. During the final trial, despite having his inner voice back, K1-B0 refuses to listen to it anymore and instead wishes to support his friends and not have any more suffering. He is originally on the side of hope, which is his role and purpose, but he abandons the concept after Shuichi convinces him that it would lead to more killing games and suffering. Because of this, the Audience takes control of him and attempts to completely erase his personality, but he still manages to destroy the school and the End Wall and saves his friends with the cost of his own life. It's left ambiguous whether it was K1-B0's own doing or caused by the change of heart in the Audience. Before he exploded, K1-B0 is seen giving a final smile after making sure his friends had survived.

## Talent

### Ultimate Robot

K1-B0 is a robot equipped with high technology and advanced functions created by Team Danganronpa as the "eyes" of Danganronpa audience from the outside world.

K1-B0 has a "maturing AI" that boasts advanced learning functions and recording functions. Similar to a human, he originally knew nothing and matured by learning. He uses calculations to express emotions, but he is very socially awkward when compared to humans. According to K1-B0, his strong AI was programmed such that his mental age would reflect his appearance.

He works with electricity, and thus he does not need to and cannot eat nor drink. Despite this, he likes foods and explains that he *watches* eating and drinking, with Japanese food being his favorite. He also can't sleep, but he needs to reserve time for recharging his power cells. He is conscious while charging and needs to do it only once a week. While he does not breath, he can sense and dislikes polluted air, though this ability is only as sensitive as ordinary human's.

He was created to have many functions and lots of energy in a small body, and for a robot, he is not very heavy, as he can be lifted up like an average human. He is not very strong either and is actually quite feeble, and there is a running gag that many of his physical skills like strength, accuracy, and endurance are equivalent to elderly people or elementary students. He himself points out that many of his abilities, like intelligence and strength, are meant to be close to ordinary humans. He originally possessed much greater strength, but it was weakened after an accident during trial production. In case of some sort of emergency, he also has an emergency stop button on his neck, which renders him practically unconscious until the button is pressed again.

Unlike some machines, he is waterproof, but he cannot swim because he would sink like a rock. His creator also forbade him from staying too long in direct sunlight. He is also unable to cry and shed proper tears even if he wanted to. In the bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan, he asks Miu to give him the ability to cry tears, so that he could have a better understanding of the feelings of sorrow.

During the bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan and his Free Time Events, he states that his eyesight is 20/13, and he possesses a hairdryer function by exhaling warm, loud "breath" from his mouth. His hands can turn into a multi-tool, with them possessing 20 different tools. For example, his finger can detect wafting aromas and distinguish different scents. He also has a music player and capability to play even tapes and records. At one point, he also mentions being good at one-man comedy shows, but not being good with computers. He also has an audio recording function but refrains from using it regularly because of its extensive energy consumption. After Miu Iruma starts performing maintenance on him, he is upgraded with eye flashlights and a photographic camera.

Being a robot, K1-B0 lacks any reproductive organs, which is something Kokichi makes fun of. Miu has mentioned her wish to upgrade him with a one, but it's unclear if this ever happened, as K1-B0 has been shown to decline some of her suggestive suggestions like a vibration function. Nevertheless, he seems to feel pleasure similar to sexual pleasure if some sensitive spots underneath his armor get touched, causing him to make "cute noises".

His Research Labs contains many battle upgrades he decides to install after being forced to make his own decision due to losing his connection to his inner voice. He is very powerful that he could battle five Exisals at the same time in Chapter 6.

In chapter 6, it was revealed that his eyes are video-cameras, his ahoge is an antenna and his inner voice are the results of interactive polls made on the outside world. While he normally listens to the inner voice, he decides to ignore them after Shuichi convinces him that it would lead to more suffering, and K1-B0 is seen rejecting his original duty out of his own will. Because of this, the Audience attempts to take control of him and erase his personality. It's unclear if his final actions are his own doing or caused by the Audience's change of heart.

## Quotes

*Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (Demo Version)* (English)

**Introduction:**

* "Are you another robophobe? I have a recording function. If you make any robophobic remarks, I will see you in court."
* "I'm not just any old robot! I am K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot! But please, address me as Keebo!"
* "D-Don't mock me! I have studied the complete history of stand-up comedy!" (to Kokichi)
* "I may have the appearance of a robot, but I am a high school student just like you. I was created by Professor Idabashi, the leading authority in the field of robotics... He installed in me a "strong AI," captable of learning and maturing like a human brain. That's why, at the time of my creation, I didn't know anything. I was like a baby... But the professor raised me like I was his own child. He taught me so many things... Until finally, he enrolled me in high school. And now I stand here before you all! See? I'm just like everyone else!"
* "Just leave him alone. Everything he has been saying has been a lie. He's a far more suspicious person than I am, that's for sure."

*Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony* (English)

**Prologue:**

* "I may have the appearance of a robot, but I am a high school student just like you. From one high school student to another, I hope we can all get along!"
* "Pardon me, but...we need to be on our guard. We do not know if and when danger will strike."

**Chapter 1:**

* "Isn't it premature to say what we'll do after we escape? Assumptions are all but useless."
* "Given the circumstance...the most logical course of action would be to give up..."
* "There is no need to worry, is there? No one is going to...kill anyone, right?"
* "As novice investigators, logic dictates that we work together rather than give in to paranoia."
* "I hope my line of questioning has not offended either of you. It is necessary, so that we may find the truth."
* "But communication is the foundation of any discussion!" (*to Tenko Chabashira*)
* "I cannot imagine why anyone would risk their life to lie on another's behalf."
* "That is a harmful stereotype. I can produce heartfelt remarks through calculations!"

**Chapter 2:**

* "It is never bad to have too much information."
* "I also agree with Kaito. Our defeat is 100% assured unless we stand up to this."
* "But I believe cooperating with each other is the most logical course of action—"
* "That's right! If we all cooperate, I'm sure we will be able to escape this place! If we meet every morning for breakfast, we will slowly but surely become more united."
* "Of course. We cannot afford to take Monokuma's motives lightly."
* "I'm very happy that I was finally able to use my functions to help everyone!"

**Chapter 3:**

* "Please take back what you just said. I can too understand human feelings. But I'm still in the process of collecting data. Please, give me data! Please!"
* "Yes, there can be no harmony between us if we keep saying different things."
* "Um... Should we resume the investigation? Time is of the essence..."
* "Just leave it to me. I will become the guiding light that shines on you all."
* "My status as a robot does not mean I am capable of performing superhuman feats! My vision is somewhat poor, and I only possess average physical strength and intelligence!"
* "No, it's too dangerous to vote before we arrive at a logical decision!"
* "You're right! Those of us who remain can start over!"

**Chapter 4:**

* "Please tell me! You don't need to hesitate. After all, we're friends."
* "I also think Monokuma was lying. He is an exceptionally deceitful being."
* "We shouldn't rely on the power of sci-fi for anything."
* "Kaito, please stop. There is never a good reason to commit violence. Even minor aggressions...can lead to atrocities such as murder."
* "But if there's even a small chance that we can stop the killing game, we should take it. ...Yes, that's what my inner voice is telling me."
* "It sounds like we have a difficult task ahead of us...but I guess we have to see it through."
* "I will show you that I'm leagues apart from those household cleaning robots!"
* "Miu was certainly brash and spirited, but she wasn't a bad person. Believe me, I had her perform maintenence on my body! So I know! I know...very well! Krgh... I want to cry, but I can't... I should have had Miu install a crying function!"
* "Th-That's not true! I'm hoping we can discover the truth, too!"
* "Shuichi, everyone is counting on you. Including myself... Please give the class trialeverything you've got and see us through to the end. And I'll do my best as well, of course!"
* "I wonder what the truth is. There's no way to find out now..."
* "I think we need to seriously discuss whether Gonta was capable of committing this crime. ...Only then can we arrive at a logical decision."

**Chapter 5:**

* "Let's go, Shuichi. We have no other direction to move but foward. My inner voice is telling me... "Hope moves forward.""
* "I just really want to try it out. If I don't, I'll never be able to rust in peace when I die."
* "My inner voice that guides me when I feel lost spoke to me again... It said, "Now is the time to stand and fight." It may be a dangerous course of action, but if it will prevent future victims... Then I've decided that I will fight Monokuma!"
* "Either way, we should at least try. So we won't have any regrets."
* "If all hope is lost, then it's up to us to become that hope! After all, we're the students ofHope's Peak Academy, aren't we!? If we give up now, everyone who fought on the side of hope will have fought for nothing! That's...what my inner voice is telling me. That no matter what, I cannot abandon hope. I cannot give up... So I will not despair! Even if it's only a little, I will move forward with hope!"
* "Right now, there is no use in thinking about whether our lives have meaning or not... Because as long as we're alive, we still have the power to decide that meaning for ourselves... That's what I believe hope is!"
* "Yes! As long as we stand together, without giving in to despair, we will find a new hope!"
* "With Kaito by our side encouraging us, then even if we are the only people left... ...I think we can still find a new hope."
* "Let's go! We must end this killing game once and for all, no matter what!"
* "This is the final battle between hope and despair! It all ends here! Kokichi can twist and violate the rules all he likes, but we'll never give up! Hope...will never submit to despair!"
* "We don't need your rules anymore! We'll find our own reasons to live! And we'll do whatever it takes to survive!"
* "Let's show him that the students of Hope's Peak Academy will never submit to despair!"
* "I think we need to get all the facts straight so we don't fall for any more lies."
* "This emotion I've learned...I believe you call it "faith." That's what I feel right now."
* "Was it really a lie...? I think his dying words may have been the honest truth."
* "It's quiet... Too quiet... And yet, this silence is quite refreshing. I used to hear my inner voice with perfect clarity... It would fill me the power of hope... Guide me along the right path... ...I can't hear it anymore. All I hear now...is silence. That silence means my will is now my own. Even if despair is all we have to choose... Even if hope no longer exists... I will never give in to despair! I...I will end this. No matter what, I will force this to end. This school, this Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, is steeped in despair. ...And I will destroy it."

**Chapter 6:**

* "Yes...I wanted to be treated like a real human. A creature of flesh and blood like you all. But I no longer have the luxury of clinging to that wish anymore! My course is clear! I must destroy this academy and end this killing game!"
* "As long as this killing game continues, only despair awaits us."
* "Monokuma is right. Despair is all we have here. We simply do not have the power to change the outside world on our own. All we can do now is refuse to submit to despair!"
* "Kaito and Kokichi gave their lives to end this killing game... We should follow their example! We should be willing to give our lives to end this killing game!"
* "We can never submit to despair! Because we are students of Hope's Peak Academy!"
* "In the name of Hope's Peak Academy, the symbol of hope itself... I will destroy theUltimate Academy, and bring down this monument to despair!"
* "I was wrong to try to destroy everything just to avoid losing to despair... Even if I had followed though, there would've been no hope or future left afterward. In which case, my actions would have merely resulted in a different despair altogether. ...I do not expect you to forgive me. What I did was foolish. But...will you allow me to fight alongside you!? I want to help you find the truth!"
* "There are notable differences between us, but they're nothing for me to be ashamed of. Because...with my talent, it's possible that I can save you all."
* "The mysteries were all fiction in the first place. All scripted. Whenever I was in trouble, my inner voice would always guide me. That guidance is what brought me here. I don't believe that's a mistake. So...I will trust it. Please...tell me. Tell me what I should do. Please, tell me your decision."
* "My inner voice is telling me I need to...remedy this situation. That is why I will not give up! I will not give up hope until the very end! We can't give up. No matter what, hope is always within reach. We must keep our heads high and search for hope, especially in deepest despair. Even if this world is fiction, even if we're fiction, there must be something we can do. So there must be a way to break though this! I won't give up hope! Not ever!"
* "I won't give in to despair! If I'm a surrogate for the audience... Then I will use my inner voice to broadcast hope to the outside world!"
* "No! My inner voice already told me what to do! I need to remedy this! If that's the voice of the outside world, then the outside world actually wants hope! So I will trust the outside world! I will trust in hope! This is the power of hope!"
* "I will not lose to your despair! Not when I'm carrying the hope of the outside world!"
* "I won't let you do that! Hope will never give in to despair! Hope will definitely win! No one here wants despair to win!"
* "...No! As long as we never give up, there will always be hope! If it will bring hope to everyone and the outside world, I will gladly sacrifice myself... Even if it destroys my body, I will defeat despair!"
* "Despair won't end this killing game... Only hope will!"
* "I won't let you to do that! I will destroy all your despair! Destroy it all...until not a trace of it remains! And I will save everyone!"
* "I will never give up! Hope will never lose to despair!"
* "Despair takes everything from people! Even their strength to press onward! That's why it's not possible for despair to be better!"
* "If we continue to win for hope, then this killing game will surely end someday!"
* "No... My inner voice is still telling me...not to give up on hope. But if that hope demands tragedy from us... ... Then...I cannot trust it."
* "I may be a robot, but the thought of my friends dying still fills me with sadness. I don't want anyone else to feel this way! So...I will abandon hope!"
* "It may not be a physical power, but our wish will surely be received by someone. If fiction has the power to touch people's hearts, then that power can change the world! That is what I believe! I will also abandon my vote, just as Shuichi suggested!"
* "Do whatever you want with hope and despair."
* "I'm...sorry... I could not fight with you...until the end... But...your choice is not wrong... The real...enemy...is... The outside world who is enjoying this... killing game. So, please...use me...t-to change... To change...the...world..."
* "I'll be the one who ends this killing game. I'll bring this fiction to an end. It's the will of the outside world. Destroy this entire fictional world, and end the killing game... That...is what the outside world wants."
* "...Very well, let's begin. Or rather, let's end this! This is the will of the outside world!"

**Chapter 6 (Fake Memory):**

* "I'm still a teenager, just like you all. I would feel lonely if I were the only one still awake."

**Free Time Events:**

* "If you have come to talk to me...that can only mean you are interested in me, rightKaede? I certainly do not mind. After all, I am the Ultimate Robot. Naturally, I will attract interest."
* "That's what's so incredible about me! My energy efficiency is truly incomparable!"
* "Though I cannot eat, food still looks delicious to me. The unfairness of it all pains me..."
* "Krgh...! Human jokes are rather vexing...!"
* "But what good is an emergency button that cannot be easily found in an emergency?"
* "Don't be too surprised. After all, I am the Ultimate Robot!"
* "Gh—! Wh-What do you mean, "normal"!? What do you know about robots!? The meaning of "normal" is purely subjective anyway! Don't assume your definition of normal is the same as mine!"
* "So you've come to talk to me again... You must be very fascinated by me, Shuichi. That is understandable. In all the world, there is no other robot as impressive as I am."
* "...No, you don't need to answer. Compared to everyone else, I feel rather ordinary."
* "As a robot, I should be able to sing once I upload the proper music and lyrics. In that regard, I believe I am well suited to the role of pop star."
* "Of course! Furthermore, pop stars fill the opposite sex with admiration, joy, and a reason to live. It's the perfect way for me to gain a deeper understanding of the emotion, "happiness." I'm going to sing for you now. Please tell me what you think."
* "I suppose I could alter my appearance to a certain extent... But I don't want to change how the professor designed me. Singing is how I will stand out!"
* "That is an illogical compromise, Shuichi! Please understand, my AI is a reflection of the human desire for greater understanding. So I must experience the hardship of training! The easy path will only hinder my progress! Even if one possesses an Ultimate-level talent... That talent should not be a crutch, but a stepping stone to reach even greater heights!"
* "I accept your apology. After all, humans and robots alike seek greater understanding."
* "Are you implying... that I can't die because I'm a robot!? That's the most robophobic thing that I've ever heard!"
* "If my backstory was more interesting...maybe I could be more than just an ordinary robot."
* "...Shuichi, your words make me extremely happy. However...I still don't fully comprehend what it means to feel that emotion. And though I detect that this causes me to feel "sad," I cannot comprehend that, either."
* "Within me, I have a strong desire to feel like everyone else. To be able to say with pride...that I'm friends with you and everyone else here."
* "Sh-Shuichi...! Thank you so much! I'm truly grateful... To think I'd feel such gratitude toward you... What a serendipitous miscalculation."
* "It's dangerous to expose your weaknesses to an equal, but not to someone who is beneath you. But our relationship is different now. I feel that you and I are equals... No, I have decided that we are equals, due to our special relationship."
* "Based on our interactions thus far...I believe I've felt something inside you. This judgment is not rooted in logic, but rather something akin to human intuition. That intuition is telling me that I can build a friendship with you, Shuichi. Please look out for me, Shuichi."

**TMNT X Pokemon:**

* "Donatello, I need you to build something for me."
* "You're such a genius! I'm quite impressed!"
* "Are you a robophobic too? I have a recording system that I can use for court!"
* "I really appreciate it if you can stop hugging me so tightly. My gear would be breaking into pieces by the force of your hug."

## TMNT X Pokemon

K1-B0 became Donnie's assistant. He helps him with the inventions and let him fix him along with Miu and Kokonoe. He sees Metalhead as a friend and is sad when Donnie had to destroy it before it hurts the others.

## Trivia

* K1-B0 is genderless, though often assumed male due to his more masculine appearance and voice. When Tenko asks K1-B0 if he is a "degenerate male or a girl" in Chapter 2, K1-B0 says he has never thought about it before and doesn't really know himself, and he is afterwards treated as neither a male nor a female.
