Gonta Gokuhara

Gonta Gokuhara (獄原 ゴン太 Gokuhara Gonta) is a character featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and a participant of the New Killing School Life.

His title is Super High School Level Entomologist (超高校級の「昆虫博士」chō kōkō kyū no “konchū hakase”).

Appearance
Gonta is a very tall and muscular teen. He has a noticeably angular face, and long, messy brown hair. He has red eyes and round glasses.

He's wearing a brown suit, green tie, and no shoes. He has a bug terrarium strapped around him, matching the color of his tie.

As his appearance suggests, he has superhuman strength, but he claims that he's never killed a bug. His angry face is also especially fierce, supposedly due to his upbringing.

Personality
Gonta likes animals very much, especially insects, and he can even speak with them. He is a kind-hearted, very gentle, and polite person. He is very pure and naive, as he easily believes even strangers and he can get easily discouraged by other people's comments. However, he turns very angry if people are hating insects and he believes bug lovers can't be bad.

In order to repay his woodland family, he aims to become a true gentleman. He wants to be useful to others, but he prefers not to do physical fighting and violence. He is also very ashamed of himself if he does something a gentleman wouldn't do, like telling lies, and he sometimes fears he might never become a gentleman.

Because he spent his childhood in the forest, he is lacking general cultural knowledge, and so he often has trouble speaking with the other students. This is made worse by his intimidating appearance. Because of his appearance, he doesn't like to start conversations and as a result when someone approached him, he would like to say "thank you" as in "thank you for talking to me."

Super High School Level Entomologist
Gonta has been interested in insects since childhood. Because he was raised by animals in the forest, he can speak with them.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
As a child, Gonta got lost in the woods while searching for insects. Thanks to being raised by a family of kind wolves, he survived and learned to speak with animals and insects.

After 10 years, he was finally returned safely to his original family and he earned his Super High School Level talent.

Human family
There isn't much information on Gonta's original human family, but he returned to them after he had been missing for ten years.

Wolf family
As a child, Gonta got lost in the woods. He was raised by a family of wolves, learning to speak with them and other animals. To repay this family for raising him, he aims to be a true gentleman.

Trivia
