Rantaro Amami

Rantaro Amami (天海 蘭太郎 Amami Rantarō) is a character featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and a participant of the New Killing School Life.

Rantaro's talent is currently unknown. He claims that he does not remember his talent and is not particularly concerned about discovering his talent. Thus, he is dubbed Ultimate ??? (超高校級の「???」 chō kōkō kyū no “???” lit. Super High School Level ???).

Appearance
Rantaro is a tall young man with greenish blond hair and two small ahoges. His eyes are green and have notably long eyelashes. He wears a dark blue striped sweater with gray pants and shoes. His sweater has a big dark symbol resembling the sun.

Rantaro has a necklace with a crystal accessory on it. He wears a silver bracelet on his right wrist and a different, larger bracelet on the left. He also has multiple silver rings: one on his left index finger, one on his right thumb, and one on the right index finger. His right middle finger has a one bigger and darker ring. His right ear has six piercings, while his left ear only has one.

He is relatively good-looking and it is noted in the game that he looks like a "playboy."

Personality
When he was first introduced, Rantaro seemed like a mysterious individual. Later it could be seen that he is a carefree and relaxed person. Even though Rantaro cannot remember his talent, he didn't seem worried about it, instead he simply looks forward to finding out what it is. He is usually seen smiling and describes himself as "not a suspicious guy". He gives off a really calm and composed vibe. He seems like a reliable person. His speech is characterized by being very friendly and colloquial, using the "～っす" copula in his sentence. Fan translations usually adapt this pattern by using teenage slang in his lines.

Despite his appearance and manner of speech, he has cold, excellent insight. While the other students descend into confusion and chaos when Monokuma and the Monokuma Cubs state their objective, he is capable of coldly interrogating them about their motives. He also shows a deep understanding of the situation and often talks and acts like he knows something the others don't know, saying profound-sounding and enigmatic sentences.

Rantaro is aware that he looks like "a playboy", but he insists he doesn't have a girlfriend. He dislikes it when people assume that he is a womanizer based on his looks, possibly because his father might be a one. Due to of having multiple little sisters, he acts like a responsible big brother towards some of his classmates. He has great knowledge on concepts that are considered feminine, because he used to help his younger sisters with certain things like schoolwork and nail art.

Demo - Class Trial Ver.
Rantaro first seen in front of the classroom where Kaede Akamatsu awake. When he encountered Kaede and Makoto Naegi he asked whether they remembered being here before. He speculated that all of them have an amnesia after being brainwashed or group hypnosis. He states that he doesn't remember his talent and looking forward to remembering it. Strangely enough, his talent doesn't list on the freshman document and Makoto commented that he probably one of the student that doesn't want his talent to be known so easily.

Kaede Akamatsu
As shown in one of character trailer of Danganronpa V3, Rantaro admired how Kaede could pull everyone together and is impressed with her leadership skill. Kaede thinks that he is a refreshing person and easy to talk to. Kaede was surprised how Rantaro acts so care-free and relaxed before the class trial in the demo starts. She states that even though things have become more complicated, Rantaro has found the way to clear the whole situation, which made her curious. She was also confused how Rantaro speaks so calmly against Monokuma during the situation and is desperate to find what Rantaro's true talent is.

Shuichi Saihara
When Rantaro met Kaede and Shuichi, Shuichi seemed confused how Rantaro mentioned about everyone gathering and getting amnesia. He thinks he is some way mysterious and has some clues about his backstory. Later, Shuichi became quite hostile towards Rantaro later in Chapter 1 based on his suspicion as being the mastermind and forgetting his talent.

Tsumugi Shirogane
Tsumugi grows a strong hatred for Rantaro, calling him a normie, and feels disgusted by his actions.
