## Appearance

    Mitsuhiro is a teenager of average height with messy blonde hair that's slightly pulled back, as well as light yellow eyes. His hair is shown to have the sides shaved, presumably a part of the back of his neck as well. It's shown to be parted along the centre of his head, falling to both the left and right side.

Mitsuhiro wears a v-necked blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a gold chain necklace, as well as a medium grey tank top. He also wears a pair of white shorts, with the sides of them having dark grey/light black stripes on either side. The shorts are shown to have two side pockets and the numbers '07' written on the left side. Along with this, he also wears a pair of white socks, partially covered by a pair of black and white sneakers with white laces. These sneakers are also shown to have approximately 12 small white squares on either side of them. He also wears a purple earring on his right ear, and a black hairband to keep the hair out of his face.

In his talent appearance, his outfit consists of a typical soccer uniform; blue shorts with red hems and white stripes on the sides, a blue shirt of the same colour with the Japanese flag on the left collarbone, white stripes on the shoulders and red hems. He also wears a pair of blue sneakers with three white squares on each side and red cross designing. He wears blue and red socks with white stripes at the top under them. The outfit he wears in his talent appearance also appears to be the Japan's National Soccer Team jersey used in 2014.

In the "athletics" drawing LINUJ posted, Mitsuhiro is revealed to have a large tattoo of a tiger on the left side of his chest and left bicep.

## Name Etymology

Mitsuhiro's first name uses the kanji 光 (*mitsu*), which means "light", and 弘 (*hiro*), meaning "spacious" or "wide". His last name, Higa, uses the kanji 比 (*hi*) meaning "ratio" or "proportion", and 嘉 (*ga*) meaning "applaud" or "praise". This may reflect on his fame as the Super High School Level Soccer Player.

His surname Higa could also be a possible reference to real-life Japanese soccer players sharing the same last name as him.

## Personality

Mitsuhiro is a chill person with good looks and renowned fame in the world of soccer. Perhaps because of his popularity, he is cocky and arrogant, and may ignore someone who's he views as "inferior" to him. It's possible that due to his chill personality he prefers to be called 'Mitch'.

While alive it's shown Mitsuhiro was hot-headed, and easily (usually unintentionally) added fuel to everyone's worries, fears, and panicking.

When being accused of being the murderer of Kiyoka he's shown to become distressed almost immediately, denying the accusations given by the rest of the game's participants. It's only when he's voted for that he finally confesses to the murder revealing that he murdered after witnessing the most important thing in his life, soccer, being torn away from him, including the grounding of stadiums, his home team, and many famous soccer players. Though he agrees that he'd deserve punishment - going as far to mention death, he doesn't show to be prepared in his final moments alive and, moments before his execution, attempts to plead with Monokuma to try and avoid dying.

## History

### Killing Game

#### Prologue

Mitsuhiro is one of the fourteen students to introduce himself to Yuki Maeda. He's said to be the ace player of the youth athletics team.

Soon after taking a step inside, Mitsuhiro along with everyone else would fall unconscious. Soon, he would regroup with the others in the entrance hall as they discuss what happened. A little into the conversation, an anonymous announcement would play directing everyone to the gym. Once every student gathered at the Gym, Monokuma would show himself, then announcing the Killing Game.

#### Chapter 1

The first day of the killing game, Mitsuhiro would investigate the school with Kakeru, Tsurugi, and Kizuna. They would investigate the student dorm rooms, and discovered the door to the second floor of the dorms was blocked by wire mesh. The next morning, he walks out of his dorm and approaches Akane, harassing her by asking her for "physical affection". When Yuki finds the two, Mitsuhiro would run away. A few days later, the first motive would be handed out in the form of a video. Mitsuhiro, like everyone else, is distressed, and he is especially angry and blunt about the possibility of a murder occurring. It is later revealed the contents of his video included soccer stadiums around the world burning down, as well as his home team and famous soccer players going missing. It is for this reason Mitsuhiro would begin to plan his murder.

He would send a letter to who he believed was Tsurugi. However, due to Haruhiko crashing into and mixing up the nameplates only a day before the letter would instead go to Kiyoka. This letter would ask for the recipient to head to the laundry room to discuss something, as he also wrote that there were no cameras in the laundry room (which there was). After the letter was sent, he would wait at the laundry room with a hammer, hitting Kiyoka on the back of the head as soon as she had entered the room. He would then press a piece of fabric onto her head to stop the blood from escaping her head as fast, thus leaving no blood stains on her clothes. He would then take Kiyoka's corpse to the female restroom to mask the true gender of the killer. By kicking a rubber ball attached to a rope and then attaching a hook, he would make Kiyoka's body hang.

Mitsuhiro is discovered to be the killer of Kiyoka during the trial, after the participants figured out that the killer could've still been a male and had to have been able to tie the rope without touching it. Due to the closeness of Kiyoka's corpse and the liquid the rubber ball left behind when it burst, Mitsuhiro was deduced to be the killer, with him soon being executed by Monokuma in Death The Volcano Shoot!

His execution goes as follows: Mitsuhiro stands in the courtroom as the remaining survivors watch on. A long chain shackle closes around Mitsuhiro's neck from behind, dragging him to his execution as the door closes with the words "RED CARD" glowing. Mitsuhiro is then dragged to a stadium tied onto a human-sized soccer ball as nine Monokumas in blue jerseys show up.

The execution starts with one of the Monokumas kicking him to another Monokuma who then kicks the ball to another Monokuma. This sequence continues until six Monokumas arrange themselves in a circle and kick the ball around in clockwise order at extremely high speeds. The ground begins to light up on fire presumably due to the heat of the ball being passed around vigorously until the execution ends with the stadium being lit in flames as the Monokumas all burn up, leaving a dead Mitsuhiro still tied to the ball.

#### Chapter 5

It is revealed Mitsuhiro's dead body is stored on the first floor of the laboratory/fifth floor of the presumed Kibōgamine Gakuen.

#### Chapter 0

Mitsuhiro would be sitting at his desk when Yuki walks up to him. He would be surprised at Yuki's presence before struggling to remember his name. He decides to chat with Yuki, bragging about a positive response to a video of a goal he scored. He remarks that Yuki doesn't talk and had no friends, but opts to remain friendly as they're classmates, inviting him to play soccer at some point.

Kizuna would ask Mitsuhiro for money to buy the latest phone, and he would say no as she hadn't paid him back the last loan he'd given her of 100,000 yen. She was under the impression it was a gift, garnering his anger as he couldn't understand how such a large amount of money could be a gift. He would then resolve to not give her anymore money unless she paid him back.

#### Chapter 6

In a flashback of Utsuro's memories during the trial, Mitsuhiro is seen riding on the back of a utility truck belonging to Yamato escaping the chaos of the tragedy. While Kiyoka is shooting down approaching Monokumas, one slips her view and attempts to climb onto the truck. Mitsuhiro would see it and kick a ball at it, throwing it off and saving her life. Their first night at the Kisaragi Foundation, he is oddly serious and hopeful that their families and loved ones will be safe.

On the day the Monokumas attack the Kisaragi Foundation, Mitsuhiro is seen behind a barricade with Kiyoka and Kizuna. Kiyoka was shooting at the Monokumas and Mitsuhiro was kicking metal balls at them, so he'd appoint Kizuna to investigate the vent behind them. Monokumas would come out of the vent, knocking Kizuna out and surrounding them. When a Monokuma attempts to knock Kiyoka out, he'd throw himself in front of it, saving her and telling her to run before he falls unconscious.

## Talent & Abilities

### Soccer Player

Due to Mitsuhiro's talent as the Ultimate Soccer Player, he has shown great skill in controlling any type of spherical object such as a soccer ball, a tennis ball and even a rubber ball. His athleticism brought him up as the ace of the youth athletics team which is implied as the Japanese Youth Soccer Team and even appearing on TV a few years prior.

His talent and ability to control any type of ball led to him improvising his murder plan when he murdered Kiyoka Maki, using a rubber ball to hang her body in the girl's bathroom leading to him deterring the route of the trial as the gender of the murderer was ambiguous.

This talent of his would ultimately lead to him getting caught as the first blackened as the students would realize only Mitsuhiro would be capable of using a rubber ball to hang Kiyoka's body which is backed up by Haruhiko claiming to have watched Mitsuhiro do soccer drills with a rubber ball on TV.
