![]() ![]() It was decided by the staff that Kyoko would be developed from the idea of a "mysterious girl". Komatsuzaki has claimed that Kyoko was one of the most difficult female characters to create in the first game of the franchise. Kodaka aimed the design of Kyoko to indicate hints that she is a detective resulting in the inclusion of hints through her clothing, including her black gloves and her black jacket. Īlthough artist Rui Komatsuzaki made Kyoko, Kodaka was responsible for most of the elements from Kyoko's appearance. As a result, Kyoko does not stand out in the narrative due to her lack of detective skills resulting in the multiple collaborations the two teenagers make when solving murder cases. ![]() In order to balance the cast, Kodaka conceived the idea of giving the students loose parts of their past. Instead, the interactions between Makoto and his supporting characters were created due to the latter's skills as a detective which would help the player at solving cases. Although Kyoko interacts with the main character, Makoto Naegi, multiple times, Kodaka claimed he never wrote the latter to be the former's love interest. The concept behind Kyoko's traits originated from Kodaka's desire to add a detective to the first Danganronpa game. Due to the staff dissatisfied with their designs, the development team at Spike grew tired of them and so they were the first characters to be killed in the final published game, with Kyoko replacing Sayaka in the process. The developers from Spike both used as stand-ins during many stages of development, and their character designs are very recognizable as early as the scrapped project DISTRUST. In later parts of development of the games, the characters of Leon Kuwata and Sayaka Maizono were both used to establish a base body type and height. In the early versions of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, the demo DISTRUST, the character was known as Gyaru Kirigiri ( 霧切ギャル, Kirigiri Gyaru) and was the original first victim in the narrative's killing game. The performance of Kyoko's three voice actresses also attracted a positive response.Ĭreation Early designs of Kyoko rejected as Spike requested the staff a more colorful design of the character. Nevertheless, Kyoko remained as one of the most popular Danganronpa characters, appearing in multiple polls. Her return to the anime was also the subject of praise but her fate was mixed based on the impact it brought to the story. Multiple writers enjoyed her role in the first video game due to how she solves cases alongside Makoto while also developing the narrative. While Yōko Hikasa is Kyoko's sole Japanese voice actress, the character has had two actresses in English: Erika Harlacher in the games and Caitlin Glass in the anime adaptations.Ĭritical response to Kyoko has been positive. Designer Rui Komatsuzaki expressed difficulties in creating Kyoko, as the game required a mysterious girl with feminine traits to replace Sayaka Maizono, another character initially presented as the first game's heroine. This was Kodaka's way of showing a notable character arc from a cold distant teenager to a caring young adult. Their bond was intended to be initially friendly before taking a romantic shift in The End of Hope's Peak High School. Kodaka wanted to have a detective character in the first game who would support Makoto in solving cases. Kyoko was created by the writer Kazutaka Kodaka. Kyoko reappears in other Danganronpa titles and sequels facing new cases involving Monokuma, most notably the 2016 anime series Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School and the spin-off video game Kirigiri Sou as a supporting character, as well in the series of prequel light novels Danganronpa: Kirigiri (2013–2020), which center on her childhood and rise through the Detective Shelf Collection (DSC), as she deals with new cases with her assistant Yui Samidare. ![]() Despite being initially distant to the cast, Kyoko befriends Makoto Naegi as both join forces to solve class trials to find the identity of the killers. She was introduced in the 2010 game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc as a high school student and "Ultimate ?" of Hope's Peak Academy sealed within the building, who upon being told by a robot named Monokuma that one of the other students present must become "the blackened" and kill another without being found out by the other students if they wish to leave by the end of the game, Kyoko is found to be the "Ultimate Detective". ![]() Kyoko Kirigiri ( Japanese: 霧切 響子, Hepburn: Kirigiri Kyōko) is a fictional character from the Spike Chunsoft visual novel action-adventure game series Danganronpa. ![]()
