Let's hear from these 5 people first.Tutorial
By pointing the target at your fellow students and pushing the circle button, you may start a conversation with them.
Conversation is key to advancing the story, so make note of it!
Got it, Mr. Tutorial. But before we do that, let’s take a quick look around, starting with the huge elephant in the room.
W...What’s with this huge metal bulkhead?
It's like the entrance to a military facility...
This is the same entrance hall I've just been to, isn’t it? I think I would have noticed it...
![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/003-camera.png)
There's... something that looks like a gun attached to the security camera.
But it can't be the real thing, though, can it...?

![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/005-monitor.png)
That's a television screen.
This school is approved by the government, so it's not so strange if it has its own television station.
Nevertheless... there's something weird about it.
Okay, now that we're done with the scenery, let's start talking to our fellow students. I'm going left to right.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/006-ishimaru1.png)

My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru! My motto in life is Simplicity and Fortitude! Let's all work together and study hard!
Super High-school Level Hall Monitor: Kiyotaka Ishimaru
Ishimaru is voiced by Kousuke Toriumi, a veteran voice actor who acted in dozens of games and anime shows since the mid ‘90s. Readers of this thread may know him as the Japanese voice for Junpei in Persona 3.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru... According to the Hope's Peak Academy thread, he was always top of his class at a certain famous school, without even the slightest spot on his record. He's a true model student.
He's also known for participating in that school's disciplinary commitee.
Those activities gave him the title of "Super High-school Level Hall Monitor" who values law and order.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/008-ishimaru2.png)

He's... quite a tiresome guy, isn't he.

...My name is Touko Fukawa.
Super High-school Level Literary Girl: Touko Fukawa
My favorite character in the game, for reasons that will become clear later. She is played by Miyuki Sawashiro, another veteran voice actress. Sawashiro is known for voicing Puchi Charat in the long-running Digi Charat franchise. Keeping with the Atlus theme, she’s was also in Persona 3 (as Elizabeth) and more recently, in Catherine as the title character.
Touko Fukawa... the novel she wrote when she was 10 years old became the talk of the nation and served as her literary debut.
Two years ago she wrote "Before the Sea's Scent Fades Away", which became her most celebrated romance novel.
It was a huge hit that made fishermen very popular with young teenage girls for a few months, and became a national phenomenon.
Despite her age she has already won several literary awards, and managed to become a constant on the best selling list while still in high school.
She's genius high school girl, worthy of being called "Super High-School Level Literary Girl"...
...Or so I thought.
Having written so many romance novels, I imagined a princess-type with a lot of experience in love...![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Expression%20Collections/Touko%20Fukawa/char-fukawa1.png)

I'm Sayaka Maizono. Pleased to meet you!
Super High-school Level Idol: Sayaka Maizono
Sayaka Maizono is played by Makiko Ohmoto. She’s the voice of Nintendo's Kirby, which is all you should really know.
Her self-introduction was bright, and seemed to come so naturally... She had a nice odour, like I've never smelled before...
Sayaka Maizono...
When I saw her name in the Hope's High Academy thread I was honestly surprised.
She's the leader of a nationally-famous female idol group.
![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/11-idols.png)
As a Super High-school Level Idol, she's a popular performer who appears frequently on TV and in magazines.
But, that wasn't the only reason I was surprised she was a student in this school.
It's something from a while back. She probably doesn't even remember it.
![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/019-maizono1.png)

Maizono-san... she tried to say something to me...
But it's not like this is the last time we'll have a chance to talk. As she said, we'll try again later.
Honorific corner, part 2. -san is the honorific most people are familiar with, and is the default when nothing else is applicable. You use -san with strangers or acquaintances you’re not particularly close to, and it reflects a certain amount of distance.

Leon is played by Takahiro Sakurai, who I don’t know much about except that he’s been in a ton of famous shows and seems to mostly play pretty boys. I am transliterating the character’s name as “Leon” and not “Reon” both because it looks so much better, and because the promotional material for the game does that too.

My name is Hifumi Yamada. "The man who is the beginning and the end". You can call me either way, I don't mind.
Super High-school Level Doujin Author: Hifumi Yamada
Yamada quotes the opening line from Xenogears here. He does that a lot, and I do not presume to understand every single reference he makes, so if anyone recognizes something I miss, feel free to chime in!
Anyway, Yamada is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, who is almost (but not quite) the oldest cast member in this game. Kappei was both Inuyasha and male Ranma, but also the official Japanese Bugs Bunny and Persona 4’s Teddie/Kuma. He uses his more cartoonish voice for this character.
Hifumi is spelled 一二三 in Japanese, literally 1-2-3. Yamada, on the other hand, is as generic a Japanese surname as you can get.
Yamada is a “doujin author”, which means he’s an amateur manga artist. Doujin is an umbrella term for any kind of amateur creative works - from fanzines to music to video games and hand-made statues. Manga is the most popular form, though. Doujin is Serious Business in Japan, with the most popular artists getting hours-long lines at events and selling tens of thousands of copies.
Like everything else fandom-related, the vast majority of doujin manga is pornographic fanfiction.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/040-yamada1.png)

By the way, are you one with the ways of 2D relationships, Naegi Makoto-dono?
-Dono is an obsolete honorific used as a sign of respect for samurai warriors and such back in Japan's feudal area. These days you probably heard it if you watch some anime, but if you go live in Japan for five years you'll never hear it said even once. Yamada also calls people by their full name, and to keep with the excessive formalness, I'll be using the Japanese name order of last name first in his dialogue.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Expression%20Collections/Makoto%20Naegi/char-naegi.png)

It is in that field that I became known as the "Super High-School Level Doujin Author". Heh heh.

It's already a legendary story: I once sold ten thousand copies of my work at a culture festival.

Some idiot classmates who can’t understand what genius is thought I'd spoil the festival. I sure showed them!
I do feel sorry for those classmates, but I must admit ten thousand copies isn't something to laugh at.![User Image](https://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc235/RukiXXIII/Dangan%20Ronpa%20LP/Prologue/044-yamada4.png)

Let's forget about those idiots, though. I'm just like Van Gogh - a genius unappreciated in his lifetime.

Naegi Makoto-dono, I'm sure you too will come to see the light just by looking at my work.

The benefits of being young and healthy... if you know what I mean.
I don't think I want to know...
