Yasuhiro Hagakure

**Yasuhiro Hagakure** (葉隠 康比呂), also known as **Hiro**, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. His title is the **Ultimate Clairvoyant** (超高校級の「占い師」 lit. Super High School Level Fortune-Teller).

Years later, he is a participant of the Final Killing Game featured in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School with the Future Foundation Directors.

## Appearance

At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Yasuhiro due to the memory loss he suffered from along with the other participants, he is two years older than he believed. He states he is 21 but still in high school because he was "held back a few times", which makes him considerably older than his classmates.[8]
He has brown skin with stubble on his chin and dark brown eyes. His dark brown hair is styled in dreadlocks that stick out as large points.

As his uniform Yasuhiro wears three layers of shirts, the top one being a green Japanese male uniform jacket he wears on his shoulders, the second one being an open button down white shirt, and his third layer is a small yellow short-sleeve shirt. He wears a brown haramaki and uses a yellow rope as his belt to hold up his large black pants that are rolled up past his ankles. He also wears sandals. On his left wrist is a beaded bracelet with the symbol for his Former High School on each bead.

After joining the Future Foundation post-Killing School Life in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, Yasuhiro wears a black suit with a white shirt and a loose grey tie, however the jacket is kept on his shoulders as well as having small glasses. His dreadlocks are kept in a ponytail and he has more kept light facial hair. He still rolls his pants up past his ankles, wears sandals, and his bracelet.

During his school years, he wore blue with white detailed bikini briefs. They are high waist underwear.

## Personality

Yasuhiro is one of the more cheery, laid-back students, though a bit odd as well. However, he is generally not well-liked and he himself has openly admitted that he has no friends, being quite cowardly, lazy, slow-witted and having a habit to act selfishly. Notably, he is mentioned to be very clumsy with money and he has constant problems with massive debts. This trait is especially apparent when he stated that he bought his crystal ball (which is made of glass instead of crystal) at the price of 100 million yen due to it being used by Napoleon, Genghis Khan, and George Washington in the past. He has also bought multiple items related to fortune-telling, despite not actually having any use for them. He tends to talk absurdly about subjects such as conspiracy theories and the one time aliens stole his hamburger. However, he really hates it if someone compares his fortune-telling to the occult, frequently insisting that they are not the same. He is also afraid of ghosts and would freak out if such a subject comes up in a conversation. Whenever he "senses" one, he swiftly recites a chant, casts a spell or begs for help from a hero, a god or a famous person (often random, even multiple ones). Even furthermore, he is stated to be absolutely horrible with women and has bad hygiene, claiming that he washes his hair once a season.

Yasuhiro is quite gullible, and at first acts laid-back about the killing game, thinking it's some sort of a prank. However, after realizing it is real, he turns much more panicky and he is generally considered useless by the other students. However, he does treat his fellow classmates with general friendliness, going so far as to add the suffix "-chi", an affectionate term for dear friends in Japanese, to the end of everyone's first name (except for Sakura Ogami, whom he is afraid of and just calls with the insulting nickname "Ogre"). In English translations, he tends to call other people "dude".

Yasuhiro has quite a cowardly personality and often attempts to trick other people to get rid of his massive debts, charging incredibly high prices for his readings that, according to other people, often do not fit the accuracy of his fortune-telling. Yasuhiro also seems to possess a smarter, more cunning side despite regularly appearing slow-witted. During his Free Time Events, he attempts to get Makoto to donate his organs so he could pay off a debt without having to dip into his own savings so he could retire in comfort, which causes even the usually trusting Makoto to feel that he cannot let his guard down around Yasuhiro. In Chapter 4, he admits that he has no problem hitting girls who can't fight back, and tried to frame Toko for the supposed murder when he thought he had killed Sakura. His attack on Sakura was due to impulsively lashing out due to his fear, but in the end, he takes responsibility for his actions. This does not mean that he shows significant character growth, however. After joining Future Foundation and going on a mission in Towa City, he pretended to be sick in order to run away on his own so he could steal valuable items from the area and try to pay off his debt.

Despite his many flaws, Yasuhiro does possess a good side. In Ultra Despair Hagakure, he finally tries to become more of a hero and helps Kanon Nakajima, occasionally acting selfless and even though still retaining some of his greedy and selfish nature, he saves her life. He is also stated to genuinely love and care about his mother very much, which is why she was his Target. In Danganronpa 3, he appears slightly braver and shows concern for his friends when they are in trouble, generally feeling more genuine comradeship towards them than before. He manages to survive on his own for quite a while outside the building while being chased by helicopters and in the end, he runs to protect Makoto from brainwashed, armed men despite not having any weapons of his own (though he was followed by Byakuya and his men). It is also notable that while he acts similarly to a con artist, he does possess actual supernatural abilities, as he truly is capable of seeing visions of possible futures. However, it is unknown whether or not he can actually sense ghosts as he claims. Yasuhiro also has a strange tendency to survive tough situations against all odds. As a somewhat hidden side, he also displays amazing self-trained penmanship and a working knowledge of electronics (by leading the dismantling of Monokuma and rewiring an antennae to pick up television signals from the outside world).

## Talent(s) and Abilities

### Ultimate Clairvoyant

As the Ultimate Clairvoyant, Yasuhiro is supposed to have amazing clairvoyance powers. Despite this, Yasuhiro's powers only have a 30% success rate. Though, considering the low success rates of fortune-tellers, 30% is not terrible.
Interestingly, while often ambiguous, Yasuhiro really does possess real supernatural future-telling skills, though not entirely accurate. In Ultra Despair Hagakure, it's explained that he can see what appears to be rather detailed visions of possible future events, though they do not usually come true. At the beginning of Chapter 4 in the first game, Yasuhiro predicts that Kiyotaka's and Hifumi's deaths were the final murders committed during the Killing School Life, which turns out to be true as the remaining deaths were self-inflicted. He also predicts that he and Makoto's children will share the same mother. This becomes true in the bad ending, as Aoi is the mother of both of their children.

In Future Arc #06, he predicted that everything would have a happy ending. Despite several deaths occurring before and after his prediction, he was correct, as the survivors, including Class 77-B, ended up having a happy ending in Side: Hope.
