Teruteru Hanamura

Teruteru Hanamura (花村 輝々 Hanamura Teruteru) is one of the characters featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He has the title Ultimate Cook (超高校級の料理人 chō kōkō-kyū no ryōri-jin).

Appearance
Hanamura has a plump body, and wears a classic chef outfit. It is composed of a white apron with a red undershirt, a red handkerchief/scarf around his neck. A small chef's hat sits on his head. He has dark brown hair all over that is styled in a pompadour that noticeably leans to the left, and constantly carries around a comb to fix his hair. Unlike all other humans of Dangan Ronpa or Super Dangan Ronpa 2, his eyes are normally two, dark dots or remain closed in the anime fashion. One sprite expression of his comically has his eyes in a style reminiscent of bishounen manga, and thick eyebrows accompanied with a nosebleed.

Personality
Hanamura is very lewd and usually can be seen hitting on anyone near him, male and female alike. Similar to Yamada from the previous game, he can react to the slightest innuendo that surfaces in a conversation. Hanamura also has a tendency to place random English words in his speech and insistently tell other people to call him Ultimate Chef instead of Ultimate Cook, as it 'gives off a more urban feeling'.

When he is not making innuendos or hitting on someone, he is shown to be decently friendly and relatively upbeat. He takes great pride in his cooking, as shown by his offended reaction during the first trial when it was suggested that Hanamura's cooking had a laxative in it. When Monokuma appears before the students along with the Monomechas, Hanamura constantly denies that the things around him are actually happening and dismisses them.

Despite his lecherous attitude, he greatly loves his mother back at home. Knowing she is prone to illness, Hanamura is even willing to murder someone in order to come home to see her again.

When extremely agitated, stressed, or angry, Hanamura loses his normal speech pattern and breaks down, yelling angrily in an incomprehensible, country-like dialect, which is extremely difficult for other standard Japanese speakers to understand.

History
[Warning: Several spoilers follow this section!]

Pre-Despair Incident
Hanamura says he was born in Nishi-Azabu district in Minato, Tokyo, and raised in southern Aoyama. His family ran its own restaurant. Unfortunately, Hanamura's mother had an illness, causing her to be frail and collapse at times. He was very worried about his mother's condition and her will to keep the Hanamura business running, especially after receiving the invitation to join Hope's Peak Academy. His mother insisted that she was strong enough to handle it, allowing Hanamura to leave and attend Hope's Peak. He made a promise to his mother that he would graduate from the school and attain certain success in life, and become a great chef in order to save the Hanamura Restaurant when he returned.

Island Life of Mutual Killing
Hinata first runs into Hanamura at the Supermarket, where he is seen hitting on Sonia Nevermind. He is one of the people who are rather looking forward to having a good time on Dangan Island, although he notes that the Restaurant's food is satisfactory. When Monokuma appears and takes over the Island, Hanamura denies all that is happening around him. He is one of the students that show up for Togami's party, offering to cook for everyone in attendance.

While preparing all the food, he noticed Nagito Komaeda hiding a knife under the table, and confronted him. He became scared that there would definitely be a murder, so Hanamura took it upon himself to try to stop it.. As a result, Hanamura ended up killing Byakuya Togami by accident, as he was trying to aim for Komaeda underneath the floorboards with a skewer.

During the Class Trial, everybody all turned against Komaeda as he "confessed" to the crime in order to help Hanamura. Hinata eventually deduces that it was, in fact, Hanamura who was the killer. Although he denies it at first, once cornered, Hanamura becomes extremely agitated and loses his normal speech pattern, spewing denials and insults in an incomprehensible dialect. As nobody else but Monomi could understand him, she steps in to translate his ranting into standard, understandable Japanese. Once he is voted guilty, he seems to lose his will to fight, and reveals the truth about Komaeda's actions and talks about his  mother. Monokuma taunts him, and at the very end, Hanamura cries out for his mother before he is dragged by the neck to his execution.

His Mother
Although not much about Hanamura's home life is revealed until the end of Chapter 1, it is shown that he likes his mother. It even states on his ElectroID in the 'favourite things' section that his 'favourite thing in this case, is his mother. In a flashback cutscene to when Hanamura first left for Hope's Peak, he showed great hesitation at leaving mother alone to run the restaurant, to which she assured him that she would be fine. He confesses he wants to see his mother again, and the last thing he does is scream for his mother before he is executed.
