Kirumi Tojo

**Kirumi Tojo** (東条 斬美 *Tōjō Kirumi*) is a student in Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles and a participant of the Killing School Semester featured in *Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony*.

Kirumi has made a name for herself, due to filling any request given to her perfectly. She takes her role as a maid seriously, and commits herself to it. This has earned her the title of **Ultimate Maid** (超高校級の「メイド」 *chō kōkō kyū no “meido” lit.* Super High School Level Maid).

## Appearance

Kirumi is a tall, thin young woman with dull silver hair and bangs that obscure her left eye (Though sometimes it can be seen when expressing certain emotions). Her eyes are green and her maid outfit consists of a black button up pinafore with a spiderweb motif, a white dress with a black collar, and a purple tie. She wears a black headband that is commonly worn by a maid. She wears black gloves with silver rings attached, black tights, and also wears black shoes with white laces and heels. Her dress also has black lace attached to the bottom of her skirt.

In the Prologue, Kirumi wears a blue sailor school uniform with a long matching skirt, a red ascot, red stripes on the collar and sleeves, black tights, and a headband that has a small bow on the right side of her hair.

## Personality

Kirumi is a refined, mature young lady who's described as "a professional who does a perfect job". She has a keen mind and she is talented in various ways, reportedly able to carry out any job, as well as capable of being independent and do things on her own. She is polite and formal, as well as quite serious, and very willing to use all of her power to cooperate with the other students. She is intelligent and level-headed. [6] Her intelligence can be shown when she is speculating. Her speculations are provided with a fact and it became quite hard to refute, for example when she accused Gonta Gokuhara as the culprit of Rantaro Amami's murder case. Everyone believed in her well-thought, descriptive accusation until Kaede Akamatsu objected it with a solid evidence. In Chapter 2 when they discovered the half hallway of 2nd floor and the third floor, she felt that no one has set foot on the academy for a quite long time, and when she found out that rooms of the deceased are locked by Monokuma, she thought that it was needed to be done in order to secure Rantaro's belongings, since Monokuma himself mentioned that he may had a hunch about the truth behind the Killing Game.

As a maid, her creed is "selfless devotion". Thus, she has a very strong sense of duty and a will to work for the sake of others even during the Killing Game. She voluntarily does house work such as cleaning and preparing meals for the students, even making sure each time that there's both Japanese and Western cuisine.[7] Because of this, the other students seem to have strong trust in her, and she tends to wait outside the dormitory in case anyone has any requests for her. She is also shown to be very considerate and often asks the others if they are doing all right and gives them some advice. Her concern and kindness is often described as "motherlike", with Kokichi Oma even asking her to be "his mom". However, being a high school student, Kirumi completely denies such comparisons.

On the other hand, Kirumi lacks the concept of doing something for herself, and for her even to have a conversation is a request. She believes her own opinions hold no importance. Despite her sense of duty, she does have a limit to what she is willing to do, declining requests such as destroying a nation, giving sexual services, or unfairly removing someone who hasn't done anything wrong from a public area. She has stated that while she is a maid, she is *not* a slave.

However, for the sake of the people who need her, Kirumi is willing to do some immoral acts like murder and manipulation if it is absolutely necessary in her mind. She is willing to bear the burden of being seen as evil for the sake of her nation and its people. She has a great sense of determination, so much so that during her execution, she goes out of her way to escape the entire situation rather than just succumbing to death, believing that she cannot die until she makes sure that her people are safe.

## Talent

Kirumi's talent as the Ultimate Maid is a fabrication made by Team Danganronpa. Due to that fact, it is unclear whether Kirumi is a multi-talented maid in the past.

— Shuichi describing Kirumi's talent as the Ultimate Maid. | ”

While working a part-time job as a maid, Kirumi is able to carry out any job, and has created a reputation for doing perfect work. She is also talented at various sports.[5] she takes care of cooking and cleaning for the other students.[7]She quickly adapted to the atmosphere of the Killing Game and stated that even though she can't perform surgeries, she has a medical experience and she can use the medical supplies in the warehouse.

In the bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan, Kirumi's maid skills are enough to impress both Byakuya Togami and Celestia Ludenberg, with Celestia's only issue being that she is a female. Given how critical they are, this is quite the feat, and Byakuya even says out loud that he is willing to listen to the opinion of such an admirable person like Kirumi even when he does not agree with them (after Kirumi mentioned that other people's feelings should not be ignored and she was unwilling to drive Toko Fukawa away from a public place when she had done nothing wrong).

* "I would bear the burden of being seen as evil for the sake of my nation and its people. Because \*that\* is what it means to serve with selfless devotion. That's why I needed to survive. Sacrificing you all meant saving the lives of men, women, children, and elderly... I...wanted to live."
* "That's right... I must survive... Because...I carry the weight of an entire nation on my shoulders. I would not have killed Ryoma if I was so easily deterred. This request will not be fulfilled until I have brought joy to every citizen of this nation... So no matter what, I cannot die! That is why I killed Ryoma! Even now, I refuse to give up!"
* "I intend to live... I must survive...no matter what it takes... If I must debase myself, so be it! I would drink filth and eat carrion to survive! I will do anything—ANYTHING!—to survive!"
