Super Danganronpa Another 2

**Kokoro Mitsume** (미츠메 코코로 / 光目 こころ *Mitsume Kokoro*) is a main character featured in Super Danganronpa Another 2, created by Korean game-developer LINUJ. She is the **Super High School Level Psychologist** (초고교급 심리학자 *Super High School Level Psychologist*), able to identify others emotions simply by listening to their voice.

## Appearance

    Kokoro is a high school student that stands at 158 CM (5'2"). She has fair skin, light yellow eyes, and unkempt taupe hair with two antenna's that is styled similar to an ant's antenna's. She also wears a pair of red-rimmed glasses. Kokoro's attire consists of a loose maroon sweater with a light pink collar, twirling embroidery that reaches the end of the sweater, and a loose black and orange tie with the emblem of her previous high school. Kokoro also wears a dark purple vest underneath her sweater as well as a pair of black shorts, and a pair of blue cat-dog slippers that resemble the cartoon character Bonobono. Kokoro carries around a purple IPad, which she often uses to make notes, and she has a plaster on her right knee. In her character illustration Kokoro dons a white labcoat, but she doesn't wear this in-game.

Outside of the simulation Kokoro is roughly somewhere in her late forties, and she is the second oldest participant from the main cast. While she mostly retains the same appearance as she did inside the simulation, she now has bags under her eyes from a lack of sleep and she also has longer hair than she formerly used to. Outside of the simulation Kokoro wears a black shirt of an unknown sleeve-length, a white labcoat, a pair of maroon sweatpants, and the same pair of slippers as she wore inside the simulation.

## Background

Kokoro had started to show signs of Alexithymia - what's considered to be a personality trait, where the user struggles to connect and show signs of their own emotions - at a young age, finding it difficult to react to situations. Other than her sharp sense of curiosity, Kokoro was unable to show any other sign of emotion at this age which, over time, started to upset her biological parents. Eventually this led for them to give up on Kokoro, resulting in her being placed into the foster care system. She was later adopted by a wealthy family, whom she adopted their surname from.

As she grew older Kokoro began to show interest in Alexithymia and human emotions, which eventually caused her to start researching both topics. Her adoptive parents were very supportive of this interest and funded the materials Kokoro needed for her research. Kokoro's intelligence built up over time from her research up to the point where she was able to correctly identify emotions other people were feeling, later causing her to take a career in psychology.

## Talent and Abilities

### Super High School Level Psychologist

As the Super High School Level Psychologist, Kokoro has a vast understanding of human emotions. With her interest in human emotions starting at a young age, due to Kokoro suffering from Alexithymia, Kokoro has been researching human emotions and her condition ever since she was young, funded by her wealthy adoptive parents. Due to Kokoro's understanding of human emotion she is often dubbed as a 'mind reader' by the other participants, by Yuki in particular. While these claims aren't true, Kokoro's understanding is noted to be so vast that she is able to make a read on a person judging by their tone and eyes (implied during the first class trial), very often being very accurate to the persons true emotion at the time. Despite this, Kokoro isn't always able to make an accurate read of a person with Emma being able to trick her with her acting skills.

Outside of the simulation it is revealed that Kokoro was never a Hope's Peak Academy Student, but was still a psychologist in the real world. Compared to her simulation-self, Kokoro's methods of research are much more inhumane, and she was willing to go use her own daughter to get the information she wanted.

## Creation and Development

Untranslated*The information below isn't yet translated. It will be rewritten once translations are available.*LINUJ designed the characters for *Super Danganronpa Another 2* in two steps: creating an initial design, and then later revising the design. Kokoro was first designed at an unknown point in time, likely during 2015-2016. LINUJ later redesigned Kokoro after deciding that, as well as not liking this design, Kokoro looked too similar to Rei. Kokoro received two more designs before LINUJ created her prototype design, with his in-real-life friends helping him during this process. LINUJ conceived Kokoro's personality at around the third design he made for her, although it still wasn't fully as it is now until an unknown point after creating her prototype design. Her teamwork with Mikado, and involvement with the plot itself, was decided late in development.

**"처형명 : IF ~ 코코로의 행복이론"**

**"평화로운 노래와 함께 박수갈채가 터진다. 미츠메는 웨딩 드레스를 입고 누군가와 결혼식을 올리고 있다. 장면이 빠르게 전환되며, 딸이 태어난다. 열심히 일을 하며, 휴일에는 가족끼리 놀러가기도 하고, 시험 성적을 가지고 혼내기도 하고, 딸의 참관수업에 가기도 한다. 세월이 흘러 부쩍 큰 딸이 결혼하여 독립하고, 남편과 여유로운 노후를 보내는 미츠메. 남편의 무릎에 누워 지긋이 눈을 감으며 화면이 줌아웃 된다. 지금까지 나온 장면들은 디스플레이 속 영상이었고, 디스플레이의 코드들이 사지가 묶인 미츠메의 귀 속을 통과해 뇌까지 관통하고 있으며, 미츠메의 눈, 코, 입에서는 피가 흘러나온다. 잠시 뒤, 미츠메의 공허한 눈이 클로즈업되며 화면이 암전된다."**
**"Execution Name: IF ~ Kokoro's Theory of Happiness"**

**"With a peaceful song, applause bursts out. Mitsume is wearing a wedding dress and having a wedding with someone. The scene changes quickly, and a daughter is born. They work hard, go out with their family on holidays, and improve their test scores. She scolds her and goes to her daughter's observation class. As the years go by, the eldest daughter gets married and becomes independent, and Mitsume spends a leisurely old age with her husband. The screen zooms out as she lies on her husband's lap and closes her eyes. The scenes so far have been images on the display, and the codes on the display pass through Mitsume's ears, where the limbs are tied, to the brain, and blood flows from Mitsume's eyes, nose, and mouth. Me's empty eyes close up and the screen goes black."**

## Stats

Non-canon*The information below is considered to be non-canon, and has been stated as such by LINUJ.*With generally good stats, Kokoro has some of the highest scores within the cast. She has A's in intelligence, reasoning ability, and acting ability, although she also has low scores in physical ability and humaneness. LINUJ comments that Kokoro's intelligence score is based off of her natural ability, much like the rest of the cast, and that her ability to read emotions were accurate because of this reason. Kokoro received a high score in reasoning ability as well for this reason, albeit mainly for her participation in the first class trial. Kokoro also receives an A in ability to act for her determination to find the members of Void.

Kokoro's lowest scores are in her physical ability and humaneness, both ranked by D. Despite this, LINUJ was thinking of lowering the score to an E for both of these stats. LINUJ states that Kokoro's low score in humaneness comes from two things; her lack of emotions, and her morals in getting the results she seeks. As Kokoro was willing to use her daughter to get results for her research, and because she would be willing to trade her own life for research, LINUJ gave Kokoro a D in humaneness. Kokoro also received a D in her physical ability as she doesn't exercise often.

## Relationships

### Void

Throughout the Killing School Trip, Kokoro makes it her own personal goal to discover all the members of Void. She otherwise has no interactions with the members of Void, aside from Emma.
