Monosuke

Monosuke (モノスケ Monosuke) is one of the antagonists featured in New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing.

He is part of a group called "The Monokumarz" along with his siblings Monotaro, Monokid, Monodam and Monofunny. He is the straight man of the group.

Appearance
Monosuke's appearance is similar to that of his father, Monokuma, but the part that is black on Monokuma consists of yellowish brown and dark brown stripes. Likewise, his left eye is white, contrasting Monokuma's. He has bright pink cheeks and eyelashes on his right eye.

He dons a pair of round black glasses, an abacus, and a yellow pacifier.

Personality
Monosuke is a child-like robot. He is a cool-headed, but with a horrible mouth.

He acts like the straight man of a double act stand-up comedy. He often displays affirmative behavior even in the middle of an argument between members.

Monokuma
Monokuma is the self-proclaimed father of Monosuke, Monotaro, Monokid, Monodam and Monofunny. He calls them his "adorable children", but apparently he also has a tendency to punch them if they annoy him. Considering himself the headmaster, Monokuma seems annoyed if his children try to steal the show.
