Salvador Yadorigi Fukurō

**Salvador Yadorigi Fukurō** (サルバドール・宿木・梟) is a character featured in *Danganronpa Kirigiri*. He is a 2nd rank detective, specializing in art crimes and his specialty is fraud and fakes in the field of art, as evidenced by the first two digits of his DSC 752. He also had a partner named Taehime Uozumi, another detective.

He was summoned to the Takeda Haunted Mansion Duel Noir. Following his survived, he was recruited to assist with helped with the Twelve Zodiac Duel Noir Challenge, taking on the Kareobana Academy Duel Noir.

### Prior Life

Salvador is part Hispanic and had a great interest in art growing up with some ballet training. He aspired to be an artist but lacked the artistic talent to pursue it. However, he did have an eye for it and thus decided to become a detective specializing in art forgeries. His eyes being sensitive to light forced him to constantly wear sunglasses, though a trade-off is being to see in low vision and spot difference in color.

His agency is located in Paris and with it, he had a partner by the name of Taehime Uozumi who he cared for deeply. Unfortunately, during one of her undercover investigations, she ended up getting roped into the Norman's Hotel Duel Noir and was murdered. However, at the time, Salvador did not yet know of this.

### Takeda Haunted Mansion Duel Noir

On June 10th, Salvador gathered at the Takeda Haunted mansion alongside four other detectives: Hajiki Yaki, Sachi Mizuiyama, Korisu Kakitsubata, and Suntetsu Shirasu. His letter requested he come in order to inspect the authenticity of the paintings in the mansion.

When the proxy failed to show up, he alongside the rest of the detective revealed their true cause for coming to the mansion and decided to wait, using his time to examine old art scrolls. Occasionally, he would cross paths with Suntetsu, but noticed nothing off about him. However, during that time, the culprit of the Duel Noir, murdered Suntetsu by the use of turning the mansion's dojo into a locked room. When it was noticed he was missing, Salvador was the one to discover the door to the dojo being strangely locked.

When Kyoko Kirigiri and Yui Samidare arrived, the detectives finally managed to get the door open, thus bearing witness to Suntetsu's corpse. Salvador cooperated the most in relaying information to them, as well as the police that were notified. Similar to the other detectives, he only revealed his profession once the cops assigned to this case left the room to do private questioning. This being how detectives and police usually have a strained relationship with each other. It was Salvador who also gave a full recap of the events of the five summoned detectives meeting each other to Yui and Kyoko in that time frame. He also rejected Hajiki's idea that a ghost could be the culprit of the case. He was present when Sachi was 'revealed' to be the culprit and was escorted by the police home. In reality, the culprit was Korisu, who would be arrested for her crimes.

### Twelve Zodiac Duel Noir Challenge

However, prior to being taken home, he does decide to speak with Korisu and her lawyer as a way to get information on the Duel Noir and the Victims Catharsis Committee, not to mention seeing if she knew anything about what happened to Taehime. Unfortunately, she had no idea who that was.

The next day, Salvador was called up by Kyoko in order to recruit him to partake in the Twelve Duel Noir Challenge of Gekka Ryūzōji, believing the detectives called upon the Takeda mansion case were unrelated third parties to it, and thus no connection to the Victims Catharsis Committee, making them safe to try and rely on their aid. Salvador arrives at the meeting point in a car and invites the other four in, as well as doing some mild flirting with Sachi, who was in the passenger seat, in order to calm her down after she was still holding a grudge against Kyoko.

After Kyoko and Yui fill them on the situation on what the Duel Noir's are, he asks if they know anything about Taehime. After being informed she was killed during a Duel Noir, he is shaken up by the loss though does try to hide it. Still, he agrees to partake in the challenge and comments that he didn't reveal his knowledge on the Committee to see if what Yui and Kyoko say matches up with what he knows. He informs them that Korisu is unharmed, that a rule for this Duel Noir that the culprits’ debt will be paid for by Gekka, though they will still have to face the law. For his Duel Noir, he takes up the one farthest away since he's often going around the world and it's easy for him to travel. As such, this nets him the Kareobana Academy Case Duel Noir in the mountains.

During this time, Salvador chimed in concerning talks of the team name, wanting to name the group Team Phoenix since Stravinsky's 'Firebird' was playing on the radio (but it was rejected by Hajiki). When it came time to decide when each person should report to Yui about their findings, Salvador took the 12:15 slot. Once the decision were made, and the recruits were informed to just gather information (not to confront the culprits, who could kill them), Salvador dropped of Yui and Kyoko at the train station before departing with the rest of the adults.

### Kareobana Academy Case

While traveling to Kareobana, he thinks about Taehime and about solving this case in order to avenge her (though, corrects himself in that she would have wanted him to focus strictly on solving the case). Due to a landslide, he has to traverse by foot. After walking through a snowy forest he finds a worn-down, wooden school. Entering its gym he finds the body of Rei Naruko, killed by a sharpened candle in a cultish manner.

Salvador was about to leave when he runs into the Ouu Daitouitsu University Myst'ry Research Society consisting of: Gorō Anbō (Columbo), Erī Wan (Ellery), Tōru Uchida (Tōru) and Kōsuke Kanzashīchi (Kōsuke). Rei was their fifth member known as Grey. They were called by a mysterious letter from the Black Magic Club, a cult that holds a grudge against them since the Myst'ry Research Society got their former club room, which called them out to the school or else something horrible would happen. The club found their dead member but without a way to call and the rockslide, they were forced to stay at the school for the time being.

Salvador investigates alongside the Society and deduces the trick was made to give the culprit enough time for an alibi, meaning it could be one of the four clubmates there even still. Still, he and the club decide to focus on staying warm since the area has begun to colder. Before that could happen, a helicopter arrives with Licorne who comes to assist them. On that helicopter ride, its revealed that Tōru was the culprit (which Salvador didn't know for certain, but ultimately thought he was the most suspicious) who took up the Duel Noir to avenge his sister who was killed by the Black Magic club and that Gray was actually a spy sent by them. With the culprit found, Salvador asks Lico to take him to a specific place.

### Libra Girls Academy Case

Salvador arrives at the Libra Girls Academy Duel Noir with the Myst'ry Research Society with the intent to meet up with Yui Samidare. However, when he arrives he is ambushed and wounded by the culprit, Sachi, due to a blow from the head from a pipe. He is taken to safety by the efforts of Nazuna Tōakitsu and Tsukiyo Nada, two students who were the third parties in the Libra Girls Duel Noir. While he was unconscious, the culprit was able to be detained thanks to the Myst'ry Research Society's efforts. From there he was taken to a hospital and placed in the ICU. He had Nazuna call in later to Yui to inform her about his solved Duel Noir, and that he will have to leave the 'front lines' but won't give up fighting for the sake of his partner.

### Final Duel Noir

At the hospital, Salvador reunites with Kyoko, alongside Nazuna and Tsukiyo. There, he reveals that due to his injury, his eyesight has gotten worse, thus needing Tsukiyo and Nazuna to help assist him in his goal of taking down the Committee. He says that that the three of them has received word about Mikado's death, and traveled to the site of the observatory, with the intentions of getting the legacy to see if it can get them closer to the Committee and help their cause. That's where they found the wreckage of Sirius Observatory. They would later find both Kyoko and Yui down in the cliff, and would rescue them.

Salvador would also reveal that Yui hadn't survived and had shielded her Kyoko with her body throughout the night in order to protect her. Kyoko takes this news with the usual calm stoicness, which cause Tsukiyo to lash out at her reaction before breaking down in tears over the loss of Yui (to which Nazuna needed to comfort her). Following that, Salvador requests of Kyoko's assistance in taking down the rest of the corrupt detectives in the world and the Committee. To this, Kyoko initially refuses with the loss of Yui taking a heavy toll on her. However, after the visit to Yui's grave, Kyoko steels her resolve and joins with Salvador to tackle the detective corruption.

As a result of their groups efforts throughout the years, numerous of corrupt detectives have been taken down and arrested.

## Abilities

### Unique Eyesight

Salvador is capable of seeing subtle differences in color and spotting discrepancies in fake paintings.

Salvador is capable of seeing well in the dark and masterfully navigates space at night, though this is traded off in that he does require his sunglasses in daylight since his eyes are sensitive to it.

## Name

His first name, "Salvador", is the Spanish for "savior” a common name in Spanish speaking countries.

## Appearance

Salvador is tall and slender with silver hair and blue eyes. He wears a very expensive suit and sunglasses. He also wears a white blazer over a black shirt and white tie. He wears shoes with the size of 28.5 cm. Due to his injury acquired during the Libra Girls Academy case, Salvador's eyesight has worsened and he requires the use of a cane to help get around, on-top of needing Tsukiyo and Nazuna to help him.

## Personality

Among the detectives recruited, Salvador has the most experience under his belt, with the rank of two in the Detective Library to prove it, and one of the smartest. He was also the most agreeable, willing to lend information out towards Yui and Kyoko to a degree, though at the same time is also quite cautious and capable of a sharp degree of foresight, such as choosing to interrogate the apprehended Korisu in order to gain more information on the Duel Noir in case what the girls say did not match up. He served as the most grounded of the three recruited detectives and helped kept things realistic, such as dismissing Hajiki's train of thought for thinking that ghosts were the culprit.

He comes across as being quite cultured and passionate, with a love of art and classical music, as well as taking part in the ballet. He also shares a sharp degree of self-awareness and flexibility, like knowing his limitations in art meant he can't pursue it professionally, but he can take part in the industry by using his eye for it to stop art forgeries. This self-awareness extends to even realizing his pursuit of the Victim's Catharsis Committee has him acting to a degree like the 'victims' that they spurn to commit murder given they, too, are acting out of a feeling of vengeance.

He cared deeply for his fallen partner and was deeply saddened when he learned she was killed during the Duel Noir. Her death caused him to join in the fight against the Victim's Catharsis Committee in order to avenge her, with the injury he sustained barely stopping that desire to continue onward for her sake.

### Taehime Uozumi

Taehime was Salvador's partner and was someone that he deeply cared about. While he was used to her being absent for her undercover missions, once she was gone too long, he was left quite worried for her. Upon learning of her demise by Yui and Kyoko, Salvador was deeply saddened by his loss, but vowed he would avenge her by helping to assist both Yui and Kyoko in taking down the Victims Catharsis Committee.

### Tsukiyo Nada & Nazuna Tōakitsu

Tsukiyo and Nazuna were the two Innocents of the Libra Girls Academy Case. When Salvador arrived, he ended up being bludgeoned into unconsciousness by the culprit of the case. However, both girls managed to get his unconscious body to safety following the culprit being distracted by Yui. In the hospital, it was Nazuna who Salvador entrusted to relay his case information to Yui, and would later have both be his assistants once he recovered enough, showcasing he truly trusted the two.

**Detective Library**

### Yui Samidare & Kyoko Kirigiri

Compared to the other detectives that participated in the Takeda Haunted Mansion, Salvador was the most agreeable to the girls, being mature enough to go along with their suggestions and even being the most willing to admit when the others were duped. However, he was not naive to put complete trust in them, going so far as to interrogate Korisu as a means of gaining early knowledge to the Duel Noir prior to the girl's explanation, just so he could make sure their stories line up.

Once he learns of his partner's fate from them, he gladly lends them his aid. While he did join them in order to avenge Taehime, he did care for his new teammates, to the point even when out of commission, he used what strength he could to inform Yui of his findings, and even vowed that he would still continue to fight. Kyoko had recruited Salvador on basis of him being an unrelated party in the Takeda Mansion case, though her interactions with him was formal in nature. Yui, though, was appreciative of the assistance Salvador brought them, and was furious upon witnessing the culprit of Libra Girls Academy harm her new friend. She was also glad to know that, in spite of what happened to him, Salvador never betrayed them.

### Licorne

Initially, following Licorne's appearance at Kareobana Academy via helicopter, Salvador was wary of the boy. However, once Lico passed his test on discerning if he was an ally, he eventually warmed up to the kid. Licorne had appeared in order to check up on the rest of the team, and was willing to drop Salvador off to Libra Girls Academy before handing the culprit of Kareobana off to the authorities.

### Sachi Mizuiyama

Initially, their relationship seemed to merely be on neutral terms back during the Takeda Haunted Mansion case. However, the following day when both were recruited, Salvador also showed an interest with her, openly calling her a beauty (which caused her to blush) and being the one to calm her down from being mad at Kyoko for framing her. During the car ride, both seemed to share an interest in each other and were even about to schedule an outing together, prior to Hajiki interrupting them.  However, despite their seemingly mutual attraction, it did not stop Sachi from brutally hitting Salvador in the head with her pipe and hospitalizing him. Suggesting either she was faking her feelings for him, or her devotion to Gekka was stronger than her crush on Salvador.

### Hajiki Yaki

Salvador and Hajiki met when both were just the unrelated parties to the Takeda Mansion. Both seem to have a fairly neutral relationship with each other, though Salvador wasn't afraid to go against Hajiki's claims if they were incredulous or if someone else did hold a legitimate point. When both joined Kyoko and Yui's team, both enjoyed a discussion concerning their group's name, though Hajiki rejected Salvador's request of naming them Team Phoenix.

**Others**

### Myst'ry Research Society

Initially, the Myst'ry Research Society held suspicions concerning Salvador as they found him just about leaving their friend's, Grey, body. However, upon showing them his DSC card, and Gorō Anbō confirming it was real, they began to trust him (though with Kōsuke Kanzashīchi it was more of a begrudging acceptance) and both cooperated with each other to further investigate Grey's death, with Salvador taking the role of the lead detective of the case. Both Columbo and Tōru Uchida, in the presence of a real detective, were quite the fans of him, though Erī Wan was somewhat timid and bashful when it came to the detective. Kōsuke maintained some aggression towards Salvador, at one point even knocking off his shades after grabbing him by the jacket.

Ultimately, after they were rescued from Kareobana and the culprit amongst them was apprehended, the remaining members of the Myst'ry Research Society opted to help out Salvador during his drop off at the Libra Girls Academy. Once Salvador entered the building, but hadn't come out yet, the remaining three entered and were responsible for defeating the culprit behind the case, thus saving both Yui, Salvador and two kidnapped girls of the Duel Noir.

## Trivia

* Salvador loves classical music and listens to Stravinsky.
* Salvador was previous a boy scout, and thus knows how to make a fire.
* His appearance greatly resembles Kyosuke Munakata, a central figure in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, from their facial features to their similar attire. Given that Salvador debuted first, it is likely Kyosuke's design was influenced heavily by Salvador’s appearance.
