Tatsutora Oboro

**Tatsutora Oboro** is a minor antagonist that appears in *Danganronpa Kirigiri*. He is one of the Victims of the Twelve Zodiac Duel Noir Challenge and the culprit of the Sawameki Nature Club Center Case.

## History

### **Prior Life**

Tatsutora was a detective that specialized in international counterfeit money schemes, and was registered in the Detective Library with a rank of 355. He would take upon a Duel Noir in order to seek vengeance for the Oboro Family, which had a 150 year old feud with the Sawameki Nature Club. He illegally carries a Derringer with him as his main weapon, despite the only detective in Japan allowed to carry being Johnny Arp.

### Twelve Zodiac Duel Noir Challenge

Unfortunately for Tatsutora, Licorne intercepts him before he can even kill his target and apprehends him. From there, he is kept captive in Castle Ryuzōji with four others until the challenge is over, which from there they would be turned to the police. However, two days later, he and the others are freed by Tōya Tsutsumi, who is a fellow Victim of the challenge. He promises them a cut of his winnings if these captives prevent Yui Samidare from reaching him. Thus, the former captives order the children residing in the castle to block the entrances to the castle. In addition, Tatsutora gave a gun for Tōya to keep on him.

During this time, Tatsutora, who had gotten drunk and was wondering the halls of the lobby, encountered Licorne and Yui at the elevator. Angered at being defeated by Licorne, he whips out his gun and fired at them. However, Licorne had managed to deflect the shot with jacket that had a folding shovel in it. This caused Tatsutora to become dumbfounded over Licorne being able to ward off his bullets. When the elevator doors opened, Licorne shoved Yui into the elevator and had her go on up whilst he dealt with Tatsutora. As the doors close, Yui hears more gunshots. While off-screen, its implied from accounts by Licorne that he caused Tatsutora to run out of ammunition with his shovel-in-jacket trick before subduing him. With Tatsutora defeated, Licorne would steal his gun and travel to the fifth floor in order to threaten Tōya with it.

With the challenge at an end, its implied that Tatsutora, and the other captives for that matter, would be given over to the authorities.

## Appearance

Tatsutora is described as a man in his early thirties that wears a shabby suit, in addition to carrying a gun in his belt. Due to being drunk, his face was described as being red.

## Personality

Like all other Victims, he was willing to to resort to murder over the one who had wronged him. He has immense pride in his family and their history, given that he wanted to settle a feud that's been going on between them and the nature club for a century and a half. He enjoys alcohol, though Yui notes of him stumbling onto the scene gives credence he might not be able to handle it very well. Given that he tried to kill Licorne for their last confrontation, it shows not only does he hold a grudge, but he has no regards when it comes to attempting to kill a child. His chosen specialization in the Detective Library leads credence that he dislikes counterfeit operations, and his rank of five proves that he has some prowess in his profession.
