Rantaro Amami

Rantaro Amami (天海 蘭太郎 Amami Rantarō) is a character featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and a participant of the New Killing School Life.

Rantaro's talent is currently unknown. He claims that he does not remember his talent and is not particularly concerned about discovering his talent. Thus, he is dubbed Ultimate ??? (超高校級の「???」 chō kōkō kyū no “???” lit. Super High School Level ???).

Appearance
Rantaro is a tall young man who has greenish blond hair with two ahoges. He has green eyes and long eyelashes. He wears a dark blue striped sweater with gray pants and shoes. His sweater has a big dark symbol resembling the sun.

Rantaro has a necklace with a crystal accessory on it. He wears a silver bracelet on his right wrist and a different, larger bracelet on the left. He also has multiple silver rings: one on his left index finger, one on his right thumb, and one on the right index finger. His right middle finger has a one bigger and darker ring. His right ear has six piercings, while his left ear only has one.

He is described as attractive looking and looking like "a playboy".

Personality
Rantaro is a relaxed and care-free person. Even though he cannot remember his talent, he isn't particularly worried about it and just looks forward to finding it out. He seems to smile quite a lot, describing himself as "not a suspicious guy". He gives off a really calm and composed vibe and is quite the reliable person.

Despite his appearance and manner of speech, he also has cold, excellent insight. While other students descend into confusion and chaos, he is capable of coldly interrogating Monokuma and the Monokuma Cubs 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.

Rantaro is aware that he looks like "a playboy", but he insists he doesn't have a girlfriend. Because of having multiple little sisters, he can sometimes act like a big brother and is very knowledgeable about some things that are often considered feminine. He used to help his siblings in many ways, including schoolwork and nail art.

Demo - Class Trial Ver.
Rantaro first seen in front of the classroom where Kaede Akamatsu awake. When he encountered Kaede and Makoto Naegi he asked whether they remembered being here before. He speculated that all of them have an amnesia after being brainwashed or group hypnosis. He states that he doesn't remember his talent and looking forward to remembering it. Strangely enough, his talent doesn't list on the freshman document and Makoto commented that he probably one of the student that doesn't want his talent to be known so easily.

Kaede Akamatsu
As shown in one of character trailer of Danganronpa V3, Rantaro admired how Kaede could pull everyone together and is impressed with her leadership skill. Kaede thinks that he is a refreshing person and easy to talk to. Kaede was surprised how Rantaro acts so care-free and relaxed before the class trial in the demo starts. She states that even though things have become more complicated, Rantaro has found the way to clear the whole situation, which made her curious. She was also confused how Rantaro speaks so calmly against Monokuma during the situation and is desperate to find what Rantaro's true talent is.

Shuichi Saihara
When Rantaro met Kaede and Shuichi, Shuichi seemed confused how Rantaro mentioned about everyone gathering and getting amnesia. He thinks he is some way mysterious and has some clues about his backstory. Later, Shuichi became quite hostile towards Rantaro later in Chapter 1 based on his suspicion as being the mastermind and forgetting his talent.

{{spoiler|In the love hotel event, Rantaro has the role of a private tutor or a teacher of Shuichi. As the situation reflects the relationship between Rantaro and his younger siblings, he treats Shuichi like a child, which makes him a bit uncomfortable. Because of this, Rantaro assumed that Shuichi dislikes him, but Shuichi denies it. Rantaro is relieved that Shuichi doesn't despise him, but he states that he no longer would be his teacher, as he thinks he made Shuichi uneasy and he could be in danger with him. He wishes to protect Shuichi, so he wouldn't lose another person that is very important to him. He mentions the possibility of himself dying and while he claims he was joking, Shuichi doesn't believe him. Shuichi tells Rantaro he would rather hear his story even if it is a risk rather than leave Rantaro to deal with it alone. In the end of the event, Rantaro feels very glad, trusting Shuichi even more and waiting for the time to tell him his story.

Tsumugi Shirogane
Tsumugi grows a strong hatred for Rantaro, calling him a normie, and feels disgusted by his actions.
