undevelopedCharacter Name: Yasuhiro Hagakure
Canon: Dangan Ronpa
Canon Point: Post game
Background/History: A link to a source about the canon is fine for this.
Personality: Hagakure’s introduction to Naegi shows a guy that, yeah, may seem as though he’s pretty eccentric, but also comfortable with those eccentrics for anyone to see. He shows himself as outgoing and jokes around right from the start with Naegi. He tries to break up fights between (for example) Junko and Fukawa by saying they shouldn’t fight, doesn’t like getting involved in too much trouble, and is the slowest on the uptake, likely because he doesn’t want to believe that their new school life is one rife with mutual killing.
He isn’t as smart as Kirigiri or Naegi when it comes to investigating or murders. He tells strange stories about aliens having come from the sky and having taken the beef out of his hamburger before returning the pork part of it to him. In his free times he tells Naegi about skyfish and his passion for OOPArts (out-of-place artifacts), even while he claims to hate the occult and supernatural and ends up becoming offended if his fortune-telling is lumped in with something like that.
Not even to mention if you refer to his talent as a superpower.
Out of the characters, he’s one of the few who refer to tropes or video games or makes a point of talking about his own character development, straddling that line between breaking the fourth wall or not. He can classify the other characters fairly quickly; this ends up being surprisingly insightful, noting Fukawa’s persecution complex, telling Naegi that he needs to make up with Kirigiri as their fight doesn’t just affect them, or commenting on Togami’s personality change as something that’s leading up to some major plot development. He doesn’t have a filter, though, and will just as quickly say things that can be offensive. Oddly, he doesn’t usually get many repercussions from this, so he winds up fulfilling that little niche of deadpan snarker as time moves on and he can laugh and joke at inappropriate times as well.
His ideas also get more and more outlandish, perhaps because of the stress of being trapped in the school. He suggests things like making a crop circle with a lawnmower in order to signal for help, or demanding that Naegi prove that Kirigiri isn’t a ghost in one of their trials, much to everyone else’s aggravation.
In his free times, it’s shown that he’s used to conning people in order to get money. Much of his free times are him trying to get money out of Naegi, even if he is perfectly capable of repaying a debt he owes out of his own savings. It’s hardly surprising that he has zero friends when he’s trying to convince the one that he does make to give him some of his organs and whose gifts he wonders how much he can get for them at a pawnshop. Outside of the school’s walls, he gets into all sorts of trouble for trying to get things or money from people, and mentions that being disliked by girls is better “than being sued by them like me”. Given that he’s a fortune-teller who makes his living off of having a 20% success rating and yet has managed to amass a fortune, he has to be good at wheedling money out of people.
It doesn’t seem like he’s had the chance to trust many people, either. He’s constantly helping other people with his fortune-telling and so on, but he claims he’s never had anyone to help him with his own problems. By how he speaks about his father and how their house burned down because of him, it’s entirely likely his family weren’t exactly the most reliable either. Given that he spent three years on the run, he’s probably used to having to take care of himself, but he’s so bad at keeping himself out of trouble and hasn’t ever had anyone around to slap some sense into him. Not before Hope’s Peak, anyway.
There are also instances that he shows that he’s nice, like in breaking up fights or telling Asahina they should cut Fukawa some slack because of her ‘complicated family situation’. He also claims friends are ‘life’s treasures’—just to get this shot down by Kirigiri.
Even if he seems to be good at conning, though, he’s extremely easy to con. From being tricked into buying potentially fake OOPArts which he refuses to give up, to a crystal ball that George Washington used (sure, Hagakure) to being the person who Celes chooses to try and frame because he’s stupid. He’s extremely gullible and despite his claims he has his own free will, he will often follow along with others so that he doesn’t have to face difficult decisions or circumstances on his own. He can be a poor liar and usually tries to cover this up by getting angry or indignant. Due to his personality, most of the time it’s difficult to take him seriously.
After what happened to Sakura and after he’d been discovered, he confessed right away to killing her, while Togami ridiculed him for going to meet her without a worry in his head. However, when it might’ve been that he hadn’t in fact killed her, he was very quick to jump around. He can be a coward and chock full of contradictions and double-standards, from being afraid of ghosts even when he’s afraid they’re not real, to trying to sell something occult and claiming it’s fine even if he doesn’t believe in it because it’s ‘marketing’.
As time moves on, though, he gradually learns to be able to face the things that are happening within the school. Certainly, he’s still not entirely reliable by the end of everything, but he shows himself as becoming able to actually face the daunting possibilities that their future holds. He’s still afraid and wants to hope that their world will be all right, but he recognises what Naegi says in that it’s their world. He rediscovers that living means moving forward, and that he still wants to live, deciding to trust his own instincts.
Abilities/Powers: Yasuhiro Hagakure, a Super High School Level Fortune-teller. His predictions have a 20% accuracy rating, so 20% of the time he is completely and precisely correct! But, they can sound so outlandish and the way he says them can make it sound unbelievable. Nevertheless, he has that ability!
Items/Weapons: A tarot deck, a crystal ball and one of the chickens from the school
