Hifumi Yamada (山田 一二三 Yamada Hifumi), is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. His title is Ultimate Fanfic Creator (超高校級の「同人作家」chō kōkō kyū no “dōjin sakka lit. Super High School Level Dōjin Author).

Early Life
Presumably as a young child, Hifumi described himself as a "mild-mannered boy who liked to draw" and without a "single friend". He apparently did not believe when people, mostly women, were genuinely kind to him. So much so he would yell at them to leave and apparently enjoyed doing so.

At an unknown part in his early life Hifumi caught an episode of the anime Demon Angel☆Pretty Pudgy Princess starring Princess Piggles. He didn't care at the time, saying it was just another "magical girl anime", but later he claims Piggles came to him in a dream and that he fell in love with her on a date with her. He then began to purchase all the Piggles merchandise he could find and to draw nothing but her since he couldn't show his love any other way. This lead to Hifumi creating a personal website displaying his artwork of Piggles, and later convincing his middle school (through bribery of his profits from his sales) to let him create a fanfic club. He later was also allowed to sell his fanfic work at a school festival, which many of the other students thought would ruin it. Hifumi states proudly he was able to prove them wrong, and claims to of sold over ten thousand copies of his work.

Hifumi mentioned he enjoys frequenting conventions, and even having a booth at them, as well at participating in "fanfic circles" with other authors and participating in "free-for-alls" that are specifically centered around Princess Piggles. He also shares his artist interests with his older sister, Fujiko Yamada.

He attended Marufuji High School, and was later scouted to attend Hope's Peak Academy under the title Ultimate Fanfic Creator. Based on photos seen by Makoto Naegi, he seemed to of had a more teasing and friendly in nature relationship with Celestia Ludenberg and his other classmates.

The Tragedy

 * Main article: Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Side: Despair #11

During The Tragedy, Jin Kirigiri, the Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy, planned to seal the school building and let the students live forever inside the Academy in order to protect them from the destruction. The students of Class 78th agreed to his plan, and they sealed the building together. Hifumi helped Sakura Ogami in sheltering the windows and he was stunned that she only used her bare hands to lock the windows. The students lived peacefully inside the school building for a year without knowing that the Ultimate Despair members were already in their midst.

Killing School Life
Hifumi was among those who were chosen to attend Hope's Peak Academy as part of Class 78th. Class 78th ended up being trapped inside the school, not knowing at the time that they had already been memory-wiped of their two years of school life together. Hifumi was around 19 years old, though he believed he was only 17 because of the memory loss.

Makoto's Hallucination

 * Main Article: Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Side: Future #11.

Hifumi is seen alongside his deceased classmates in Makoto's hallucination. He is first standing next to Kyoko Kirigiri, which then morphs into him on the ground, presumably bleeding, reflecting how he, along with the other deceased members of the 78th Class, had died.

Name
"Hifumi" (一二三) are numerals kanji which, when put in sequence as they are above, literally mean "one, two, three". The kanji for "Yamada" (山田) translates into "mountain rice paddy".

Alternate Fates
In the Danganronpa Visual Fanbook, there is a description of executions for all of the characters who did not have one. Hifumi's execution is called '''Watch Out, Princess Buuko!! Great Monster Invasion''' (Buuko being the Japanese name for Princess Piggles) and described as the following:
 * "A gigantic Princess Buuko comes flying to a place where an enormous Monokuma is rioting at. Both start fighting. Yamada, who is stuck between them is being hit from both sides. At the end, he dies when being hit by 'Certain Kill' beams from both simultaneously."


 * However unlike the other unused executions, Hifumi's is seen "completely" in the manga adaption of the Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc "Trial Version", where he is correctly voted guilty for murdering Yasuhiro Hagakure and executed.

The Danganronpa 3 box set included a feature detailing an alternate ending of Danganronpa called Danganronpa Another End which ultimately never made it out of the development phase. In this ending, all of the students escape, at the cost of giving up their talent forever. In Hifumi's ending, he claims he will become a thief, and with "free use" of his magic he will use it to steal gems.

Hifumi also escapes Hope's Peak alive before the Killing Game begins, with the rest of his classmates, in the novel Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF.

Appearance
Hifumi is an overweight young man with black hair and a short pointed ahoge. He wears a pair of black thick-rimmed glasses. He is dressed in a white button-down shirt, an orange tie which has a patterned double-headed blue arrow upon it with the smaller arrowhead pointing upwards and the larger arrowhead pointing downwards to the tip of the tie, a pair of dark gray trousers, and white trainers. Over his shirt is a light grey, unbuttoned cardigan and on his back is an orange backpack. He wears not-for-sale underwear based on Robo Justice.

Relationships

 * Family:

Fujiko Yamada
Not much is known about Hifumi's relationship with his older sister, however she became his "Captive" in the Monokuma's first motive, signifying she is the closest person to him. They both share a passion for writing and drawing, and even are both self-published creators with Hifumi having his Princess Piggles work and Fujiko with her 4-panel manga series Tara☆Spa! They both also seem to share the same perverted nature evident as Fujiko enjoys drawing naked boy demons.


 * Class 78th:

Celestia Ludenberg
Hifumi regards Celeste highly, even referring to her as "Mistress", and following every one of her orders. Despite the fact the first major seen interaction between the two results is Celeste smashing a cup of tea in anger and berating Hifumi harshly for preparing it incorrectly.

He seems to be extremely protective over Celeste (or simply has a strong sense of justice) as shown after she lies to him about being assaulted by Kiyotaka Ishimaru, he is willing to kill Kiyotaka for such a thing.

In many official art done for the game, Celeste is shown to be using Hifumi literally as a chair, solidifying their relationship as Hifumi simply being used.

Shortly after Hifumi and Celeste's deaths, Makoto Naegi along with the remaining students discover a picture of Hifumi, Celeste, and Sayaka in Hope's Peak Academy before the Killing School Life and The Tragedy began. In the picture Celeste is angrily holding onto Hifumi for stealing her fake eyelashes as Sayaka laughs, however it doesn't seem to be any sort of threatening anger, and Hifumi seems more amused than afraid. This could indicate their previous relationship was a more friendly one, and not the cruel bulling one they have in the Killing School Life.

During Free Time, Makoto can choose to talk to Hifumi in order to learn more about him. If he gives Hifumi a present that he likes, and chooses the correct response during their conversation, their friendship level will increase and Hifumi will disclose something about himself. Each successful Free Time conversation adds a page to Hifumi's Report Card in the e-Handbook menu, and grants either a skill that will give Makoto an advantage during class trial battles, or an increase in Skill Points.

Dorm Room
Makoto is able to see inside Hifumi's dorm room during Free Time events. The most prominent items in Hifumi's room are his large collection of Princess Piggles merchandise, which includes bedding, standees, and even a costume.

Personality
Feeling misunderstood by his peers and resenting them for it, Hifumi comes across as creepy and perverted, possibly due to his tendency to make an innuendo over some things that other students said; a trait that creeps Leon Kuwata out. He also has a habit of putting anime references in his speech.

In his Free Time Events, it is shown that Hifumi is very passionate about Princess Piggles, a female lead in his favorite anime series, Demon Angel☆Pretty Pudgy Princess. Although having a somewhat misanthropic look on society, Hifumi will not stand for indecent crimes against those he holds in deep regard and will even go so far to kill the person to stop them from doing any more harm and avenge his friends.

Hifumi has a particular dislike toward people who supposedly don’t understand the true meaning of doujin, even going as far to claim that they're ruining everything.

In the original Japanese, Hifumi calls everyone with their fullname and "-dono" suffix. In the English dub, he has an unique way of referring to others as well—for example, he calls Makoto "Mr. Naegi".

Prologue - Welcome to Despair
When Makoto Naegi arrives, Hifumi declares that their is 15 students in total, and he confirms that it was abnormal the way they all fell asleep. When Makoto introduces himself, Hifumi asks Makoto if he was "one with 2D relationships". Upon Makoto's confusion, Hifumi then talks about his title and how others reacted about his work. Hifumi then states that Makoto will come to the light after seeing Hifumi's work. He then ends the conversation with a suggestive comment, making Makoto leave.

Chapter 1 - To Survive
During the first investigation, Hifumi was revealed to be the janitor, with the key to the trash room. He was asked by Makoto to open the shutters so the two could investigate and discover a bloody shirt piece (Leon's) and a shattered ball that was used to turn on the incinerator through the shutters.

Chapter 2 - Boy's Life of Despair
During the second investigation, Hifumi was the person who found Chihiro Fujisaki's broken e-Handbook in the sauna.

Chapter 3 - A Next Generation Legend! Stand tall, Galactic Hero!
Hifumi later developed a crush on the artificial intelligence created by Chihiro - Alter Ego. This one-sided relationship annoyed Kiyotaka, and as a result, the two clashed frequently. This dispute was taken advantage of by Celestia, who stole Alter Ego and convinced Hifumi that it was Kiyotaka who stole it.

Celestia enlisted Hifumi as her accomplice (who thought that Celestia was his), by telling him that Kiyotaka forced her to steal Alter Ego and was planning to kill Hifumi. The two frame Yasuhiro Hagakure by putting him in the Robo Justice suit, and make it look like the robot was responsible for both Hifumi's and Kiyotaka's “deaths” - when in fact, Hifumi was only pretending to be dead by putting transfusion blood on himself.

After Hifumi bringing himself and Kiyotaka's body to the Art Storage Room, Celestia finishes her plan and kills him. After the Class Trial, Celestia states that Hifumi never suspected that he would be the next victim to be murdered, and thought that Celestia would kill someone else instead.

When he was dying, Hifumi regain his memory back about everything that happened before the Killing School Life. Aoi Asahina asked him who's the blackened behind both his and Kiyotaka's murder, but due to his injury, he could only say “Yasuhiro” at the end.

Toko Fukawa
Hifumi appears to think his writing is better than Toko's, making her feel insulted. The two fight in Chapter 2 over their writing styles. Hifumi assumes Toko likes boy on boy action and that her work isn't worthwhile.

Alter Ego
Hifumi developed a crush on the AI due to it listening to what he has to say without giving negative judgment. Alter Ego itself did not share any feelings toward Hifumi and was only interested in learning more about his interests in order to improve its own knowledge. He also referred to Alter Ego as a female, despite the fact that it was modeled after Chihiro. Hifumi told Alter Ego his "hobbies", which were probably perverted however Hifumi was surprised to discover Alter Ego was not annoyed or disgusted by this which made him feel comfortable around a girl for the first time and is what made him develop a crush despite knowing it was only prying for information. Alter Ego is considered the first girl by Hifumi, other than his mother, who he felt comfortable talking with and is able to feel happy and have fun around.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru
Kiyotaka was made an enemy by Hifumi during the Killing School Life due to both of them fighting over Alter Ego's attention. Celestia was able to manipulate Hifumi into believing that Kiyotaka had taken Alter Ego and had abused Celestia when forcing her to take it for him. If Hifumi had had any trust in Kiyotaka then he may not have been so easily convinced however Celestia played on their already negative feelings for each other and manipulated Hifumi into killing Kiyotaka without remorse. Hifumi stated that he always found Kiyotaka a little 'crazy' which would have further caused a rift between the two gaining a friendship.
