Nekomaru Nidai

Nekomaru Nidai (弐大 猫丸 Nidai Nekomaru) is one of the characters featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He has the title of Ultimate Team Manager (超高校級のマネージャー chō kōkō-kyū no manējā).

He turned into a Cyborg after being injured heavily by Monokuma.

Appearance
Nekomaru is a tall, muscular man with black hair. He wears a white tank top under a black jacket, as well as blue pants and sandals. He has chains around his neck with a whistle hanging in the middle part, and emits a blue electric aura from his eyes. He has two scars running from the top of his both eyes downwards in their own directions. Like Peko Pekoyama he has also been mistaken as a cosplayer due to his appearance.

Personality
Nekomaru is a vigorous, openhearted student who is passionate about supporting athletes but suffers from dyspepsia. He shouts a lot but for his own reasons. As a team manager, he is close to his students as example he is close to Akane Owari and they do practices a lot.

History
[Warning: Several spoilers follow this section!]

Prior to the Tragedy
As a kid, Nekomaru was born with a heart disease which made him very frail to the point of staying in the hospital. There, he met a kid named Daisuke, who also had the same problem. Nekomaru noticed that a lot of people visit Daisuke, and it was revealed that he is a manager of a sports team. Sadly, Daisuke didn't manage to see his team's victory and there, and Nekomaru became inspired to become a team manager and continue his friend's dream.

As a team manager, he trained a lot of good players including figure skaters that can perform 6 revolutions per spin and tennis players that were able to turn an almost-win into a win with a total of 36 hours of playing time.

Island Life of Mutual Killing
Hajime first countered Nekomaru around the Hotel. With high spirits, he was one of few students who remained calm and not get panicked, it's proven when he accepted Usami's gift happily. Nekomaru became helpful in solving different cases, providing different information [e.g. when he was about to use the bathroom]. At Chapter 2, Nekomaru and Kazuichi tied up Nagito to avoid his plans to continue.

During Chapter 3, Nekomaru defends Akane Owari from an attack of Monokuma, and is hospitalized due to the severe injuries he sustained. He returns after the third class trial has finished, shouting on how he came back from hell and spouting different words, but his body was in such a terrible state that Monokuma transferred his mind to a cyborg.

Also, Robo Nekomaru gave himself a lot of new random features:
 * 1) A sleep mode switch at the back of his head/neck.
 * 2) A radio clock that’s incredibly accurate. Comes with an alarm.
 * 3) He can dispense drinks from his eyes.

Akane and the rest were surprised to see Robo Nekomaru, with Kazuichi going so far as to jokingly ask if he can see Nekomaru's new internal hardware. He was murdered in the fourth chapter by Gundham Tanaka to avoid starving to death. His remains are used by Kazuichi Soda to create a "mini-Nekomaru" to cheer up the depressed Akane.

Akane Owari
Nekomaru is close to Akane due to their desire to improve themselves physically. She was the most shocked to discover that he was a cyborg and was really depressed about his death, never thanked to him because he always defend her. This led Kazuichi Soda to use some of Nekomaru's remains to create a miniature version of himself to cheer her up.
