Yūsuke Togami

**Yūsuke Togami** (十神朝顔 *Togami Yūsuke*) was a supporting character in *Danganronpa: Togami*. He was one of the selected participants in the Legacy Crown Championship and was ranked Bronze.

## History

### Prior Life

Yūsuke was the first child of Saya Togami, making him the elder brother to Asagao Togami. During his teenage years, Yūsuke would be scouted to become the Super High School Level Gourmet. However, upon graduation, his addiction to nicotine and alcohol was said to have ruined his talent. Yūsuke 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, he 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.

### Legacy Crown Championship

When the championship begun, Yūsuke was taken to Tōajō Castle to begin the competition for real, learning that in order to win the 'reliance' must be found. He audibly voiced his displeasured for the rankings and said that he wouldn't allow himself be judged by others. This ended up getting him in an argument with Jirō Togami that has to be diffused by his sister. Following Aloysius Pennyworth delivering their father's message, and Yūsuke being alarmed by how many siblings they actually had, Yūsuke tried to ask if their 'reliance' was physical or mental or if they could get some sort of hint to it. Likewise, all of it was denied by Aloysius. Yūsuke gets angry and upon hearing that Aloysius was just there to make sure things went fair, he states that Kazuya Togami should be tossed out of the competition. This gets several others to agree with him, up until Blue Ink comes to her younger brother's aid.

When Wasuke spoke aobut his dream of ruining his siblings, Yūsuke insulted him and said his dream was trash. This lead to the twins, Asa Togami and Yoru Togami, giving their dream: to use the Corporation funds to take over every television in the world and force a 24/7 weather report of their forecasting program. Yūsuke calls their dream trash as well. Following the others giving their dream, Yūsuke leaves in annoyance, claming he was going to sleep in his room. However, the twins believe he's merely going to be drinking.

During the championship's progress, Yūsuke made a suicide device that would essentially decapitate someone (whether as boredom or as a sick joke is unknown). On the third day of the championship, tragedy struck as Asagao witnessed Kazuya Togami murder Wasuke Togami. Fearing that such bloodshed will continue to happen to her siblings, Asagao writes a suicide note detailing what she saw, and heads into her brother's room. There, she uses his suicide device to kill herself, in hopes that her death would get her siblings to stop fighting. The device decapitates her, sending her head all the way outside where it would be found the next day. Yūsuke finds her note, but instead opts to hide it and intended to extort Kazuya for money for killing his sister.

From there on the fourth day, Asagao's body is discovered, with Yūsuke playing the part of the distraught older brother. He denies any involvement in the crime and tries to get the championship called off by calling for the police. However, Aloysius is adamant that murder is not a valid reason to stop the championship, which makes Yūsuke call him and the others crazy (the latter for not speaking up). He joins the search party for Asagao's missing head. Once he finds it outside, he goes ballistic and tries to get the head, but is knocked out by Jirō.

Following an investigation into his room, on the fifth day Yūsuke is apprehehnded by Ichirō Togami, Takaya Togami and Jirō Togami who 'interrogated' him, which ended up being more towards a torture session. That said, Yūsuke didn't confess to anything and upon their leave, Yūsuke laughed crazily and mouthed the words die right at Kazuya and Blue Ink. It is later that night, where Yūsuke put his plan into extoring Kazuya into motion and even showed Kazuya his suicide device to threaten him with. However, by then Kazuya had already discovered his 'power' and had used it to attack Yūsuke, killing him with his own device.

### 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 Yūsuke Togami actually existed or, if they did exist, their depiction is actually Yūsuke's personality. If Yūsuke did actually exist, he 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

Aside from being a man in his early-thirties, and apparently looking worse than when Kazuya last saw him, Yūsuke has no other description.

## Personality

Yūsuke is a jaded and bitter man that holds a disdain to being judged by others. Aggressive, stubborn, rude and foul-mouthed, he's quick to get into arguments with those around him, something that has lead to him getting into fights with others, mainly Jirō. Yūsuke has no issue with dismissing his siblings dreams as being stupid. He's quick to become annoyed and criticized those he believes are either being foolish or crazy or simply don't comply with his questions. Given he was able to create a rudimentary suicide device, its possible Yūsuke has some degree of interest and proficiency in craftmanship. While initially he's presented as being upset over the loss of his younger sister, the fact he's willing to extort Kazuya for money over it proves that he either never truly cared for her or places his own greed over even the loss of his sister. He has an intense addiction to alcohol and nicotine, something that has caused him to effectively lose his talent.

### Asagao Togami

Yūsuke is Asagao's full-blooded elder brother and the only one who could really talk him down once he get's riled up, as evident with Yūsuke backing down from an agrument with Jirō upon Asagao's intervention. While she kills herself to get the others to come together and Yūsuke seems to be upset upon finding her dead body, considering he was just going to use her death to extort Kazuya, it implies that he didn't have any real love towards her outside what can be gained from her death.

### Jirō Togami

Yūsuke and Jirō disliked each other heavily, with both being prone to arguing heavily with each other and being close to fighting each other. Most of this had to do with their similarly clashing hot-headed and aggressive natures. Likewise, this meant that Jirō had no problems with knocking out Yūsuke with a karate chop or violent torturing him during Yūsuke's interrogation.

### Kazuya Togami

Like a good deal of their siblings, Kazuya is thoroughly disliked by Yusuke for being an 'imposter'. Yusuke has no qualms in yelling and being quite aggressive with Kazuya, and after his torture during his interrogation, even mouthed the word 'die' to Kazuya repeatedly. Yusuke has no problem in trying to extort Kazuya for money or even threaten his life with his homemade suicide device.
