Ghost Child

**Kokichi Oma**, known by his professional name, *Ghost Child*, is a rapper, record producer, and songwriter.

## Early Life

Kokichi Oma was a normal talentless high school boy whose family was really poor. His family would constantly move around the city in different apartment buildings. When Kokichi was a sophomore in middle school, both of his parents had died in an accident. This led Kokichi into a deep depression and only his brother could take care of him. After their parents' untimely death, the Oma brothers were moving to several orphanages and Kokichi's brother (whose name is still unknown) had to work several jobs.

During his high school days, Kokichi attended Imperial Capital's Imperial High School. It was at this time Kokichi decided to form D.I.C.E., a small group of young pranksters, who are the most important people and like a family to him. They have traveled around the world and commit "laughable crimes" for fun, which could indicate that they could be a group of orphans with no families nor parents to hold them back. Kokichi is also good at stealing, which might be due to his past, and it has been pointed out that many of his skills have a resemblance to a petty thief. Furthermore, his organization could be a reference to the animated television series D.I.C.E. (DNA Integrated Cybernetic Enterprises), which is about an organization run by children, specifically orphans.

Unfortunately around 2016, his brother had also passed away due to a disease, right before Kokichi had graduated from Imperial High. Kokichi again was deeply isolated because he had no family members left, and he felt very alone. He started experimenting with drugs and alcohol around this time, but almost nobody close to him knew. Kokichi was unable to finish high school due to the Killing School Semester hosted by Team Danganronpa.

## Career

### Before D-Tag (Early 2017)

Kokichi was sent to the Ultimate Academy For Gifted Juveniles shortly after his brother's death. He was participating in the 53rd season of Danganronpa. This is where he met most of his future friends and his future girlfriend, although he did not have a positive relationship with her at first. Asher Red accidentally found Danganronpa in the middle of a killing game. Kokichi met Asher and the two quickly became best buds. After Danganronpa was destroyed, Kokichi now permanently resides in Hacksbin's world.

Kokichi was a regular pop listener, but he quickly discovered hip-hop music because Asher would always play Eminem and Lil Wayne's music around him. Kokichi knew a few hip-hop songs prior to this but Asher encouraged him to broaden his horizons.

### Early songs and mixtapes, Dirt Rap (Late 2017-Early 2018)

In 2017, Kokichi wrote his first rap song. It was a New Orleans bounce-styled song called "Ghost Child Gone Wild", featuring Hacksbin. A music video for the song was premiered at Hacksbin's high school in January 2017, however, it was not available to the public until the release of Dirt Rap. During the development stages of Dirt Rap, Kokichi started to bring in both East Coast storytelling and Dirty South elements in his music, which resulted in an interesting mixture.

### Power Outage, creating D-Tag, dating Miu (Early 2018-Late 2018)

Near the end of 2017, Asher decided to make a rap group after both the success of KDG and the failure of Dirt Rap. The group was named "D-Tag", and consisted of members Kench, Kokichi himself, Hacksbin, Todd Red, Miu Iruma, MZA (then known as Misel77) and Monster Man of TPO7. The group was collectively known as "D-Tag", but it is now known as "D-Tag Classic". The group released their debut album, *Tag, You're It* within a few months.

Kokichi started to spend time with Miu Iruma; a girl from Danganronpa around this time, although he had mixed feelings about her due to her personality.

### Todd Red, sobering up (Early 2019-Late 2019)

In late 2018, Todd Red had died and Asher had way too much to juggle in his life, including school, leaving Kokichi in charge of the group. Kokichi was still experimenting with drugs and alcohol at this time but Asher pleaded Kokichi to stop doing drugs, because he did not want to lose his best friend to an overdose.

### Founding KBN Records, Developing T,R,H (Late 2019-Late 2020)

Due to the ever-increasing growth of D-Tag Records and Hacksbin taking a mini-hiatus, Kokichi decided that the label was getting too big, and decided to make a subsidiary label. He, Nagito, and Byakuya founded the label, originally named KBN Records. Kokichi expressed that he did not like the original name. Despite Kokichi being a founder of the label, he did not release any albums under it due to being signed to D-Tag. The status of founder is usually credited to Togami. Kokichi started working on his three-sided album, *Triumph, Heartbreak, & Redemption* in 2020, however this process was slowed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To hold fans off until he finished this long ass album, he released a short album, Purple Rags.

Kokichi met Pico and Benjamin Fairest, both of who were living in a trailer at the time. Kokichi befriended both of them and proposed that they get into hip-hop. Pico decided to start rapping but Benjamin was hesitant to do so. Pico dubbed himself "Papyrus" and joined the KBN Records Discord. They shortly changed the label's name to "Neo-Fi Records" thanks to Pico.

### Meeting the Owl Gang, Releasing T,R,H (Late 2021-Late 2022)

Kokichi met the Golden Guard in Towa City and he was taken in under Kokichi's wing. After Kokichi found out Hunter had some demos laying around, he decided to help Hunter with his musical endeavors, thus Coven Boss Vol. 1 was born. Hunter (along with the rest of Neo-Fi) was featured across the album *Triumph, Heartbreak, & Redemption.* The aforementioned album took an astonishing 2 years to complete, thanks to COVID-19.

In *Triumph, Heartbreak, & Redemption*, specifically *Heartbreak*, Kokichi had scored his first #1 in the music charts with the hit single, Intrude featuring Miu Iruma, Shuichi Saihara, Tah Chisa, and Hacksbin. It was produced by Taaru.
