The school physician appeared in the second volume of Danganronpa Zero. There he brings in Yasuke Matsuda to help deal with the injured Soshun Murasame who was one of the few that survived the The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy.

Reserve Course Secret Society
Taeko Kanai (金井妙子, Kanai Taeko) is an antagonist and reoccurring character featured in Danganronpa: Togami.

While initially saving Byakuya Togami and Shinobu Togami from the forces of Sonia Nevermind, and seemingly aligned with the Ketouin Conglomerate, Taeko was actually a spy working for the Hasegawa Research Institute who seeked to capture Byakuya themselves. As a result, Taeko appears throughout the course of the World Domination Proclamation to attack Byakuya's forces and achieve the Institute's objective. She is a self-proclaimed Cattle Slayer.

Prior Life
Born in 1992, Taeko grew up to join the Hasegawa Research Institute as a Torero Bullfighter, a group of people who were raised to fight against the Toro Bullfighting, a group of people that were capable of producing people with special abilities and talents known as Kudan.

During this time, she was assigned to spy on the Ketouin Conglomerate's heirs, Yuika and Hiroyuki Ketouin (though Hiroyuki was already aware of her true alignment to Hasegawa) and had developed an infatuation with Yuika Ketouin. The reason for her becoming a spy was a result of the Ketouin Conglomerate being comprised of many Kudan.

Working for Ketouin
During the World Domination Proclamation, Taeko intercepted Sonia Nevermind and her forces from capturing Byakuya, by joining the fray and knocking out Sonia's guards with her guitar. This allowed Byakuya and Shinobu to escape in Hiroyuki and Yuika's Mercedes. Taeko would re-unite with the group later when they were parked next to a demonstration against the World Domination Proclamation, proudly announcing how she defeated Sonia's forces, and snapping at Hiroyuki when he questioned her metaphor to use for it. She introduces herself to Byakuya and Shinobu, before she tries to climb in through the passenger window, she is unable to because her chest gets stuck in it.

Hiroyuki makes fun of her for it, and during this time she notices Yuika's sailor uniform. She immediately desires it for herself, and asks if she can have it vacuum sealed for her, but then gets it into her head then she needs to be naked in order to acquire it. As she struggles to undress herself, her commotion attracts the attention of the crowd who spot Byakuya and comes barreling towards the Mercedes. As a result, Hiroyuki has to floor it and leave her behind to deal with the protestors herself.

Taeko reappears later on at the Church of Bones, with Hiroyuki casually revealing her true alignment to the Hasegawa Institute (who has also arrived at the Church and is attacking with a Uragan that shoots air pressure). She announces her presence by playing a rift from Lenny Kravitz' "Are You Gonna Go My Way" while she's on-top of the Uragan. From there, she leaps off it and attacks Sakura Oogami (who has learned about the truth of the situation and is on Byakuya's side again). She mocks Sakura for wasting her life on building her body and how she probably doesn't have a love life (which Sakura rebukes). In the end, Taeko is outmatched, but she was only trying to distract Sakura from the get go. During their fight, the Uragan was kicking up dust, which allowed Taeko to secretly plant landmines around the field, trapping Sakura. When Sakura points out that Taeko was trapped to, Taeko manages to escape by using the Hasegawa's Institute's Fulton system, allowing her to safely float away.

Chasing Byakuya
Following the destruction of Despair High School, Taeko re-appears in a helicopter to capture Byakuya (who is in another helicopter with Aloysius Pennyworth and Shinobu) and shoots down one of Byakuya's allied helicopters, while announcing their presence with her guitar by playing Espana Cani (which makes Shinobu point out that Ride of the Valkyries would be more fitting for the situation). When Byakuya asks how would they go about capturing him, she presents Yuika who has been brainwashed with an octopus on her head, and is equipped with robotic tentacles that down another Byakuya allied helicopter. Taeko watches in lust as Yuika takes out Byakuya's gunner and continues to watch as Yuika uses perfect camouflage to enter the helicopter. But thanks to Shinobu's quick thinking with her pen ink, Yuika is discovered and her camouflage is destroyed with Aloysius shotgun. When the Professor arrives on the scene with reinforcements for the Institute's side (all with the same weaponry as Yuika), Taeko chides him for arriving late.

Ultimately, she doesn't join in further because Aloysius kicks out Yuika from Byakuya's helicopter and she dives down with her chopper to save her. When she re-joins the aerial battle, she is enraged at Kazuichi Soda's inventions interfering with their mission (statues of various Saints that have been weaponized) and leaps out of the helicopter, statue to statue, to smash them. In the end, she fails to re-capture Byakuya, who parachutes to safety alongside Shinobu when their helicopter comes under attack from ground forces resulting in their ride going into a free fall, with Aloysius getting forced out by the last remaining soldier of the Hasegawa Research Institute.

Taeko's Fate
Later that day, Taeko, alongside a vast number of 'Tentacles' soldiers and being on-top of the Uragan, intercept the United Nations train convoy which had captured Byakuya, Shinobu and the Ultimate Imposter, with the express interest of capturing the affluent progeny. As a result, her side gets into a fierce battle with the UN soldiers, leading to many casualties for both. During this fight, Taeko finds Shinobu (whose with Kazuya Togami, the leader of the UN forces in Prague) and demands to know where Byakuya is. By this point, its been revealed to Shinobu that the organization that Taeko works for is not the Hasegawa Research Institute, but in actuality, the Kasamori Drug Manufacturers. As such, when Shinobu questions if she's working for Hasegawa, it only makes her confused. Because she can't waste anymore time, she tries to kill them with the Uragan, when its clear they know nothing.

Right before she can do so, a sightseeing bus crashes onto the scene, killing numerous soldiers from both sides. The bus crashes into one of the UN trains, causing a massive explosion. The one responsible for this, Suzuhiko Otsuki, had rushed out prior to the collision and was rapidly cutting down any stragglers with his knives. To finish things off, he rushes to the Uragan and leaps on top of it where Taeko was. She could only let out a 'hey' before Suzuhiko kills her, first by slitting her throat and then outright completely slicing her to pieces. After her death, Suzuhiko remarks the gap in talent was merely too big.

Taeko's Identity
It is eventually revealed that Taeko Kanai is not her real name, and was an obfuscation by the K2K system. Her real identity is unknown but she worked for the Germans as apart of Kasamori Drug Manufacturers. German political figures had major stock investment in Kasamori, so using them to stage attacks against foreign invaders, and to capturing Byakuya, seemed to be their true intention. Her name, appearance, and mannerisms were all replaced in real time by Taeko Kanai from the Kagami Family Saga, specifically her first appearance in Kagami Sisters in the Flying Classroom. This is due to the K2K system reading such books and overlaying it with Augmented Reality, explaining how she could appear during the World Domination Proclamation. Thus, it remains unknown to what her true identity actually was.

Appearance
Taeko is described as a redhead dressed in a schoolgirl's uniform with a large bust, as well as carrying a Gibson Explorer electric guitar. Since the K2K system replaced her true appearance with Taeko from the Kagami Family Saga, it is unknown what the 'true' Taeko looks like.

Personality
Taeko is an energetic, hot-headed and crass young woman that's confident in her skills as a 'Cattle Slayer', fearlessly rushing into combat against armed forces and even one of the strongest people on the planet, Sakura Ogami, armed with only her guitar. She's also proficient in her abilities to come out virtually unscathed up until her run in with Suzuhiko. Taeko has a crush on Yuika Ketouin and throughout the events in Prague, openly lusts for her to the point it can sidetrack her from her actual goal if Yuika is actually in danger or it revolves around her. That said, she is not above brainwashing her crush and forcing her to fight against her allies, showcasing a lack of care for Yuika's feelings and putting her own desires above any sense of morals. When it comes to her allies from the Kasamori Drug Manufacturers, she isn't above chiding them for lateness, but does admire and appreciate their work.

However, to anyone else, she can be rather rude and quick to anger, as well as showing no regards in even trying to kill those who go against her or her organization. She states proudly during her introduction that she only kills the weak and defeated. While brash and quick to fight, she's also willing to let other people do her job if they have the capacity to, and has shown a degree of cleverness with her landmine trick during her fight with Sakura. Taeko has also expressed musical proficiency with her guitar as she's able to play rifts from many songs without any issue, and the fact she plays these before encounters with an enemy suggests a flair for the dramatic. However, since the K2K system overlayed this new personality over her real one, it is unknown what the 'true' Taeko is like.

Relationships
Ketouin Conglomerate

Yuika Ketouin & Hiroyuki Ketouin
Taeko's mission was to spy on both Hiroyuki and Yuika for the Hasegawa Research Institute. During this time, she was willing to work with them (such as assisting in saving Byakuya from Sonia Nevermind) and genuinely became attracted to Yuika, to the point where she could lust over her belongings like her school uniform if it came from her. However, she was quite aggressive and rude with Hiroyuki, who had no qualms in making jabs about her predicaments or even leaving her to fend off a mob by herself (though this attitude could be chalked up to him knowing she was a traitor). As for Yuika, ultimately, she doesn't reciprocate any of her affection, even after she gets brainwashed by Taeko, though it doesn't stop Taeko from fawning over her. In the end, Taeko was willing to sever her ties with the Ketouin Conglomerate if it was required of her, but her feelings for Yuika lead to the kidnapping and brainwashing of the conglomerate heiress.

Togami Corporation

Byakuya Togami & Shinobu Togami
When Taeko initially meets both Byakuya and Shinobu, she greets them affably, and ensures that she wouldn't hurt them (that was reserved for the weak). However, after she openly becomes their enemy, she's more than willing to go on the offensive in order to capture Byakuya, and even attack his allies if its to remove them from the situation or acquire information. Byakuya has shown irritation with her antics during their confrontations, with Shinobu feeling the same way, albeit she acknowledges how dangerous Taeko's attempts can be. During their final meeting, Taeko outright tries to murder Shinobu once its clear the secretary knows nothing about Byakuya's whereabouts.

Hasegawa Research Institute

Chief, Mr. Kanai & Professor
Taeko is loyal to Hasegawa but isn't above doing things her own way. She is seen working together as a team with Chief and Mr. Kanai, and later on with Professor. She is entrusted by them to go out on spying and attacking missions, including with experimental equipment such as the 'octopussy', a genetically engineered and partially robotic octopus invented by Professor that can take control of a human parasitically to become a 'Tentacles' Soldier. Given the fact that in reality, she is working for the Kasamori Drug Manufacturers, and all of these people were overwritten by the K2K system, her true feelings to her comrades are unknown.

Trivia

 * According to the Kagami Family Saga, she was born in 1992, however that may not apply for her Danganronpa counterpart.
 * She uses the term Torero, a male bullfighter, to describe herself. This is not a mistake as in Kagami Family Saga, the Torero Bullfighters are a group.
 * Another Hasegawa Researcher, Mr. Kanai, shares the same last name and hair color as her, however it is unknown if they are related.
