Hiru Togami

**Hiru Togami** (十神昼 *Togami Hiru*) was a supporting character in *Danganronpa: Togami*. She was one of the selected participants in the Legacy Crown Championship and was ranked Bronze.

## History

### Prior Life

Hiru was the second child of Anastasia Togami, making her the middle sister to Yoru Togami and Asa Togami. The triplets would later be scouted to be apart of Hope's Peak Academy as the Super High School Level Weather Forecasters. The triplets would later be selected to be apart of the Legacy Crown Championship, serving as one of the chosen fifteen picked to compete in it. Prior to the championship's official start, they would attend vacances at the site of the competition, Tōajō Castle - a castle built on the Togami Family's private island, with the other chosen siblings as a way to gauge the competition prior to its start. However, instead of all three attending, the triplets would only send two at a time to convince the others they were twins instead of triplets. This was done in order to set-up an ace in the hole for when the championship begun. In addition, Asa had a realistic doll made of her, capable of having prerecorded messages installed and would be carried around by Yoru whilst the real Asa would be hiding with Hiru.

### Legacy Crown Championship

When the triplets were called to take part in the championship officially, they devised a plan to get all three to the island. Basically Yoru and her Asa doll would ride in one boat, whilst Asa and Hiru (taking on the guise of Yoru) would ride in the other. Once they got off, both Asa and Hiru would hide themselves on the island, whilst Yoru and her Asa doll would be the main ones to interact with the others (with the occasional substitution from either Asa or Hiru).

On the eighth day, Yoru and her doll enter the library's special section. However, its then that a fire breaks out and Yoru runs out of the collections area, screaming and saying her 'twin' had died. By the time the others put out the fire, no remains of the Asa doll could have been found. When Suisei Nanamura (a detective hired to solve the murders) questioned Yoru, she explains that Asa suddenly caught on fire and knocked a bookshelf over, causing Yoru to run out of the library alone. Suisei also asked for the book she was reading as well, which was 'The Sun Also Rises'. Suisei seems satisfied with that answer, before turning around to the others and saying that there was no way a body can burn up that quickly (much to Yoru's protest).

Following Yoru's body being discovered on the ninth day, during the meeting to discover the culprit, Suisei (under the impression Asa never existed) reveals that Asa was a doll, but came to the conclusion it was just Yoru making her to increase her chances at winning. When Eyumi asked why burning the doll, Suisei theorizes that burning her was what Yoru thought was the 'reliance' Kijō had wanted: a brilliant mystery and to achieve that having a person's body completely disappear would be considered brilliant in her eyes. Suisei notes that while she was on the right track, Yoru's idea was poor and Kijō remained unimpressed.

When Takaya Togami went forward with his plans to become the last Togami sibling standing in order to become heir, both Asa and Hiru tried to use the chaos he sowed to kill everyone else to become the victors. Hiru attacked Blue Ink in her room with a stolen knife, heavily injuring her, especially towards one of her arms and an eye. However, Ink still hung in there long enough for Kazuya Togami to rush, confused on how 'Yoru' was still alive. Hiru explains that she is apart of a set of triplets and she’s been on the island since the very beginning, and that no one noticed since she hid herself so well. When its pointed out the odds never listed her, Hiru shot back they were just made by some unrelated third parties who wanted to make a game out of the championship. Aloysius knew, but never spoke of it given that the butler probably assumed the others did as well.

When the championship started, they were banking on people not really paying attention to who was on the boat rides, and given the killing spree that happened, people would be less likely to think about it even further. It also helped on the eighth day that Yoru had managed to convince their siblings that she was an only child. It's during this that Kazuya, who had always thought he was a participant (but was unsure due to his adopted status), realizes that he was never in the running at all, but that it was Hiru. As he falls into despair, Hiru mocks him and claims he's going to die in despair. However, it was then that Kazuya shoots back on how horrible Asa died (which surprises even himself given how cruel the words were). This causes Hiru to snap into a rage and goes to stab him. Unfortunately, for her, it was then a hole opened in her chest, abruptly killing her. This attack would later have been revealed to have been Kazuya's 'power' manifesting again.

### K2K System

Later on its revealed that the above was apart of a fabricated flashback created by the K2K System. As a result, it can be said that no person actually died during the actual Legacy Crown Championship, as according to Byakuya Togami's account. It is unknown if Hiru Togami actually existed or, if they did exist, their depiction is actually Hiru's personality and appearance. If Hiru did actually exist, she would have eventually be wiped out with the rest of the Togami Family, aside from Byakuya, according to Junko Enoshima during the Killing School Life.

## Appearance

Hiru has pale skin with blonde hair that's almost white in itself. In addition, she wears a white and black dress. Kazuya describes the triplet's faces as being almost artificial in nature.

## Personality

Similar to Yoru, Hiru is a cruel, sadistic, and arrogant person that, aside from her full-blooded sisters, cares for no one else. Unlike Yoru, who tried to keep a mask of sophistication, Hiru has a casual attitude and has an uneven lilt in her voice. She holds immense pride in her capability to hide without anyone being aware of her and her involvement in the creation of the triplet's plan showcases a cunning side to her. Like Asa, she has no qualms in trying to kill others, even if they were related to her, and takes some enjoyment in the process (such as her humming as she stabbed Blue Ink). Hiru enjoys mocking others and boasting about the triplet's plans, completely confident that herself and her sisters would be the winners. When Kazuya insulted the late Asa, it was enough for Hiru to snap and attack him, proving that she did truly love her sister. Her talent lends credence of her enjoying forecasting, but Yoru's comments about their dream suggests its the triplets way of trying to boost their own popularity.

### Yoru Togami & Asa Togami

Yoru and Asa are the only two participants that Asa seems to care about, working with both in order to achieve their goal of becoming the heir to the Togami Conglomerate to advance their own self-centered desires. While not seen interacting with her sisters, Hiru loved Asa enough to become extremely angry when Kazuya mocked her death and lunged to attack him, proving she did love her sister.

## Trivia

* Hiru is one of seven Hope's Peak Academy High School Division students to participate in the Legacy Crown Championship.
* As the triplets are only age 16, yet have a SHSL instead of a SJHSL talent, this could imply they have either a late birthday or have not started their time at Hope's Peak Academy and still attend their old high school from where they were scouted, or been accepted in early and skipped a grade.
