K1-B0

Kiibo (キーボ Kībo) is a character featured in New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing.

He has the title of Ultimate Robot (超高校級の「ロボット」 chō kōkō kyū no "robotto"), owing to his robot body. He is a creation of Professor Iidabashi.

Appearance
Kiibo is a robot, having a fully mechanical body. Most of his body is made up of black metal resembling armored plating, and he does not wear clothes. He has two glowing spots on his chest, another two on his stomach, and two on his both wrists. His waist, which resembles a belt, has a glowing red spot on the each side of his front. He also has quite short stature.

While obviously synthetic, his voice and head resemble those of a normal human. Still, he has very pale skin and his straight, white hair appears unusually sharp for a human, including a very large ahoge sticking from the top. His blue eyes are also notably mechanical and it seems he can make them glow. There are thick black lines around and below his eyes.

Kiibo appears to have no neck, instead his "neck" consists of a large metallic collar. The collar appears to include a black screen with moving and glowing green text. He has headphone-shaped objects instead of ears, and they also include black screen and green text.

Personality
Kiibo tends to be serious and speak in a formal and polite manner. However, he becomes offended and angered if someone says or does something prejudiced against robots.

While he has no heart nor brain, he uses his calculations to speak "as if he had a heart". Since he is a maturing AI, he learns and develops somewhat similar to a human.

Because he is a robot, he often can't read the atmosphere and is oblivious to things, sometimes taking things very literally. As a result, he is sometimes made fun of.

Ultimate Robot
Kiibo has a "maturing AI" that boasts advanced learning functions, as well as recording functions.
