Danganronpa

Makoto Tamochi was obsessed with Danganronpa. He changed his name to match that of the first protagonist, Makoto Naegi. When he became wealthy after winning the lottery, Makoto chose to found a school based on the institution at the heart of the Danganronpa franchise: Hope's Peak Academy.

## Premise

Each installment of Danganronpa focuses on a group of highly talented people, usually 16 high school students, who are forced into a killing game fronted by a robotic teddy bear called Monokuma. In order to win the game, a student must either successfully kill another student without being caught by their peers, or survive six class trials without killing or becoming a victim. Most games end after the sixth trial and have three to six surviving students.
