## Aiko Maeda

* Aiko reappears in a sketch with Yuki Maeda, described by LINUJ as taking place in a peaceful time before Yuki became involved with Utsuro and Hope's Peak Academy.

## Hanzo Kisaragi

 **History:**

Hanzo is first introduced in Chapter 3 when his graduation album is discovered by Tsurugi Kinjo and Yuki Maeda in the science lab. A photo of him posing with Yamato and Mikako as children is found by Yuki later in Chapter 6. During his youth, he attended Hope's Peak Academy as a part of the 58th class as the **Ultimate Inventor**. Hanzo developed a terminal illness in his youth that went unnoticed during his time at Hope's Peak Academy and grew worse in adulthood.
 **Trivia:*** Hanzo's hat is the same hat that his son, Yamato, wears, having been passed down to him following Hanzo's passing.

## Hikaru Ando

Hikaru is middle-aged man with short and tidy brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a lab coat over a blue button-up shirt with a black tie, black pants, and a brown belt. He wears a pair of black, circular-rimmed glasses.
 **History:**
When Kanata was younger, while she and her biological parents were on a trip, they would get into a car accident, leaving both of her parents dead and Kanata barely alive, having been rescued by a firefighter. Because of the severity of her injuries, most surgeons refused to work on her, with the exception of Hikaru, who saved her life. Without any family left, Hikaru adopted Kanata on his own.
Hikaru was one of the five relatives kidnapped and locked in Hope's Peak Academy in Chapter 6.5. After being rescued by Rei Mekaru, a member of the Kisaragi Foundation, he along with the four others who had found themselves locked in the school would also join the Kisaragi Foundation.
 **Trivia:*** Hikaru's birthday is February 8th.

## Juu Kinjo

 **History**
Juu was a “legendary police officer” and highly influential in the police force, securing a position for his son, Tsurugi. Juu has even more extreme ideals than Tsurugi, looking only to punish evil with no negotiation involved, and is responsible for effectively brainwashing his son into thinking like him. When Tsurugi and his friend, Kouhei, were fourteen years old, Juu tasked them with disarming a bomb that had been set by terrorists in a corporate headquarters building. Kouhei died when the bomb detonated. Juu praised Tsurugi for disposing of the terrorists even at the expense of Kouhei's life, with a completely neutral expression.
After being told a lie by Utsuro that his son had passed away in the tragedy, Juu completely broke down and fell into despair, as his son was his one weakness. Utsuro also convinced Juu to eat the remains of Kouhei Sasaki. While at first Juu attempted to punish the evil that he believed had taken his son, he eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to punish evil would be to contradict his own ideals and act evil himself. In Chapter 6, it is revealed that Juu's high level of influence over the police force led many members to fall into despair themselves.
 **Trivia:*** While Tsurugi's name comes from the kanji 剣 (commonly pronounced "ken"), meaning "sword", Juu's name comes from the Japanese word for "gun".

## Keisuke Iranami

Keisuke is a young man in his early twenties with shoulder-length, bright blue hair and yellow eyes. Keisuke wears a white dress shirt, a dull light blue waistcoat, brown pants, and a dark blue trench coat.
While working at the Kisaragi Foundation, Keisuke wears the Kisaragi Foundation uniform, which consists of a black bulletproof vest with the Kisaragi Foundation logo over the left shoulder, a long-sleeved dark black jacket with the logo on the left sleeve, black baggy pants, black gloves, and black laced boots. Keisuke's hair is grown out, and he wears it in a ponytail over his left shoulder, along with an earpiece with an attached microphone.
 **History:**
Like his sister, Satsuki, Keisuke comes from a family of 25 who operate a family circus where the children are paid based on their performance and must fight for their parents' love. He is Satsuki's seventh oldest brother and the most skilled son in the family, but also the most kind-hearted, taking care of Satsuki and teaching her to "always live happily." Keisuke supported Satsuki after she was scouted by Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Clown and even bought movie tickets for Satsuki and her boyfriend, Haruhiko Kobashikawa.
Keisuke was one of the five relatives kidnapped and locked in Hope's Peak Academy in Chapter 6.5. After being rescued by Rei Mekaru, a member of the Kisaragi Foundation, he along with the four others who had found themselves locked in the school would also join the Kisaragi Foundation.
 **Trivia:*** Keisuke's birthday is on the 20th of February.

## Kojiro Otori

 **History:**
Prior to the tragedy, Kojiro lived with his son and was the founder of Otori Mart, a business that involved the sale of goods and was successful due to Kojiro's cheerful personality and lack of worry over details. Kojiro did not force Teruya to take over the family business; Teruya instead liked accompanying Kojiro, who then put his best effort into teaching Teruya about business, eventually leading to Teruya being scouted by Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Merchant. Kojiro and Teruya had a close father-son relationship, with the latter often crying out for his father to save him throughout the events of Danganronpa Another. Teruya loved Kojiro more than anyone else and inherited his eccentric sense of fashion, and in return Kojiro is said to have valued his son more than gold, nicknaming him 'Teru'.
 **Trivia:**
* In an illustration posted to LINUJ's blog, Kojiro is depicted wearing a straw hat with a red and green band. This hat and Kojiro's scarf were later incorporated into Teruya's *Super Danganronpa Another 2* design, the items having been passed down to him from his father.
	+ This same illustration establishes the logo of Otori Mart, a phoenix.

## Kouhei Sasaki

Kouhei was above average height, had messy black hair, and had brown eyes. Kouhei wore a dark purple button-up blazer with matching pants, a white dress shirt, and a red tie. A golden police insignia adorned the right breast pocket of his blazer, and he wore a pair of black gloves.
 **History**
 **Trivia:*** It is rumored that had Kouhei survived, he would have been scouted as the Ultimate Police Officer rather than Tsurugi.

## Midori Yamaguchi

Midori is three years younger than her brother, Kakeru. She has a sickly appearance with pale skin, gray eyes, and shoulder-length gray-black hair pulled back with a black headband, save for one small strand on her forehead. Midori wears a gray v-neck sweater, a light pink button-up short-sleeve shirt, a pink skirt, and a light mustard yellow scarf.
While working at the Kisaragi Foundation, Midori wears a black blazer and matching pencil skirt, a white dress shirt, a pink tie, black tights, brown shoes, and her yellow scarf underneath a gray plaid coat with her Kisaragi Foundation ID pinned to the lapel. Midori no longer wears a headband.
 **History**
Midori was born with numerous congenital illnesses, spending the majority of her childhood in the hospital. Because of Kakeru's effortless health and strength, he began to feel guilty, thinking it was his fault, which is untrue but stands as an example of Kakeru's kindness. Midori is kind but often thinks of herself as a burden due to her health conditions and need for help. When given the opportunity to step up and assist Ryutaro in Chapter 6.5, she does so with great enthusiasm.
Midori was one of the five relatives kidnapped and locked in Hope's Peak Academy in Chapter 6.5. After being rescued by Rei Mekaru, a member of the Kisaragi Foundation, she along with the four others who had found themselves locked in the school would also join the Kisaragi Foundation.

Following the events of *Super Danganronpa Another 2* and the arrest of Shobai Hashimoto and Iroha Nijiue, Midori leaves the hospital after a medical treatment and meets with Minako Tomori to discuss the events of the Utsuroshima Killing School Trip, with Minako explaining Yuki Maeda's escape, the apprehension of Shobai and Iroha, her past with Yoruko Kabuya, and Teruya Ōtori's passing. Minako, whom Midori calls 'Auntie', teases Midori for her crush on Ryutaro Maki. Midori leaves their meeting to collect information from the apprehended Shobai and Iroha in the Kisaragi Foundation's basement, only to find the security guards dead and to be snuck up on by Shobai, who puts a knife to her throat.
 **Trivia:*** Midori's birthday is on June 2nd.
* Kakeru's 'devil face' expression he makes when he is happy runs in the family, with Midori making the exact same face when she laughs.
* It is suggested that the reason Kakeru felt as protective over Kanata Inori as he did is because she reminded him of Midori.

## Minako Tomori

Minako is a middle-aged woman with long mauve hair in a loose ponytail over her right shoulder, orange eyes, and a yellow dangling star earring. Minako wears a long-sleeved yellow puffer coat with a white faux fur lining and a red scarf. She is often seen holding a lit cigarette.
While working at the Kisaragi Foundation, Minako ties her hair back and wears a buttoned black blazer and matching pencil skirt, a white dress shirt, a red scarf with an orange leaf pattern, pantyhose, and black heeled pumps. She has a silver name badge above her right breast pocket and her Kisaragi Foundation ID pinned to her left lapel. She no longer holds a cigarette, but instead a lollipop.
 **History**
In her youth, Minako worked in a bar, where she met Yoruko Kabuya. Minako later married and had a daughter, Kizuna, who she would raise on her own due to her husband being a deadbeat father.
Minako was one of the five relatives kidnapped and locked in Hope's Peak Academy in Chapter 6.5. After being rescued by Rei Mekaru, a member of the Kisaragi Foundation, she along with the four others who had found themselves locked in the school would also join the Kisaragi Foundation.

The three met in elementary school and only separated when Kiyoka began to attend Hope's Peak Academy, though the three still texted and went on vacations together.

After examining it, Rei Mekaru locates a photo of Rika, Yuzuki, and Kiyoka on the phone, confirming its previous owner.

## Ryutaro Maki

Ryutaro is two years younger than his older sister, Kiyoka. He has medium-length golden-blonde hair, swept to the side of his face.

While working at the Kisaragi Foundation, Ryutaro wears a Kisaragi Foundation uniform, which consists of a black bulletproof vest with the Kisaragi Foundation logo over the left shoulder, a long-sleeved dark black jacket with the logo on the left sleeve, black baggy pants, black gloves, and black laced boots.
 **History**
Prior to the tragedy, Ryutaro was described as a prickly boy who thinks of himself as all grown up, while his sister still thinks of him as a child and treats him as such. Ryutaro and Kiyoka are stated to have annoyed one another and engaged in normal sibling bickering typical of their ages.
Ryutaro was one of the five relatives kidnapped and locked in Hope's Peak Academy in Chapter 6.5. After being rescued by Rei Mekaru, a member of the Kisaragi Foundation, he along with the four others who had found themselves locked in the school would also join the Kisaragi Foundation.

 **Trivia:*** Ryutaro's birthday is on November 26th.
* Ryutaro likes soccer, and is a fan of Mitsuhiro Higa.
