Chihiro Fujisaki

## History

Throughout Chihiro's early life, he was teased and bullied for being weak, being told that "so weak despite being a boy" and that he "needed to be a man". This caused him to grow up feeling inferior, eventually resorting to crossdressing as a girl in order to avoid all the harassment. This only made him feel worse, however, as if his secret was found out, Chihiro would be bullied even more. In the present day however, Chihiro confided within Kars in order to accept himself and become strong. For the most part, he still fronts as a girl to the outside world.

Because he was an outcast, Chihiro spent most of his time inside with his father, who worked for major computer companies. He picked up this interest from his father, and Chihiro found a computer his father worked on that was unfinished. After tampering with it and completing the system, Chihiro's father gave him praise for this accomplishment. Finally having found something he can accel in, Chihiro quickly took interest in programming. His success was eventually recognized by the outside world, and since his work was so exceptional, he was recruited by an unnamed company to design secret AI programs. Because of Chihiro's timid nature and his supposed femininity , he quickly gained notoriety.

Before The Tragedy, Chihiro went to St. Elbandia Academy and was recruited to Hope's Peak Academy, aptly titled the Ultimate Programmer. After these events took place, however, Chihiro was one of the 17 students to participate in the Killing School Life. After witnessing the deaths of two of his classmates, Chihiro was murdered by Mondo Owada, being struck in the head with a dumbell after agreeing to work out with Mondo. He was killed because Mondo was jealous Chihiro was mentally stronger than him, strong enough to face the weakness that Mondo himself could not. In a last act of kindness for the boy, Mondo moved Chihiro's body to the girl's locker room in an attempt to preserve his secret.

## Since The Worlds Collided

After being revived into the Nexus, Chihiro met up with Jackrabbit through the main chatroom, and they bonded over their mutual love of computer science and small animals. He does his best to assist the troubled man from time to time wherever he can physically or psychologically assist, and this connection eventually led Chihiro to meet Kars. They quickly formed a friendship, as Chihiro admired Kars' strength and Kars was amused by such a small human. Their friendship eventually developed into a romantic relationship.
