Ryōta Someya

Ryota Someya (染屋 涼太 Someya Ryōta) is a minor character featured in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Side: Despair.

Ryota was part of the Hope's Peak Academy's Student Council, as well as a participant in The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy.

He was murdered by Karen Kisaragi, becoming the second victim, his death causing everyone else to go into a panic and start killing each other.

Appearance
Ryota is a short boy with blue eyes and blue hair styled in a loose "bowl cut". Instead of a dress shirt and tie, he wore a grey hoodie under the standard Hope's Peak Academy blazer. He had several stuffed animals on his person; a yellow teddy bear in the left pocket of his blazer, a blue teddy bear in the right pocket, and a green dragon or dinosaur in the front pocket of his hoodie.

Personality
Judging by the fact that he carried three stuffed animals on his person, Ryota had a soft spot for plushies.

He showed an impulsive, aggressive streak when he attempted to murder Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba to avenge Kotomi Ikuta's death, implying that he is extremely protective of his friends.

Episode 07 - The Biggest, Most Atrocious Incident in Hope's Peak Academy's History
Junko gathered all of the Student Council and Izuru Kamukura in the old school building in order to force them to kill each other. When Mukuro announced that they would begin killing each other, Kotomi opposed the idea and was murdered because of that. After Junko brought the motives and weapons into the classroom, Soshun Murasame attempted to calm the rest of members down. Ryota disregarded what he said and chose to pick up a shotgun, intending to murder Junko and Mukuro to avenge Kotomi's death. Sosuke Ichino attempted to take the gun away from him, and they tussled over the gun before Soshun told them both to stop. Sosuke let go of the gun, and Ryota stumbled backwards and was stabbed from behind by Karen.

Kotomi Ikuta
It's implied that Ryota was close friends with Kotomi, as he was perfectly willing to kill Mukuro and Junko to avenge her murder.

Sosuke Ichino
When Ryota claimed he would kill Mukuro, Sosuke was the one who attempted to stop him, implying they were friends or that he cared about him at the very least.
