As a student named Yasuhiro Hagakure's body being discovered, Rantaro and the others investigate his death and attend the class trial to search for the culprit. However, Rantaro and Keebo were sat out from the trial due to the sit doesn't accommodate more than 16 students.

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 Kubs 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.
