Chihiro Fujisaki

Chihiro Fujisaki (不二咲 千尋 Fujisaki Chihiro) is a character featured in Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair. She has the title Super High-School Level Hacker (超高校級の「プログラマー」Chō Kōkō Kyū no "Puroguramā"). She was a programmer who had created much innovative software and currently was working to create an AI that had an actual intelligence and ego. Fujisaki was killed by Oowada in Chapter 2 after she divulged her secret to him.

Appearance
Fujisaki, due to her small, lithe stature and doll-like appearance, appears very feminine. She has short, light brown, layered hair and brown eyes. Fujisaki wears a female school uniform, consisting of a dark green jacket with a white dress shirt underneath, a brown skirt and matching suspenders, and black socks.

Personality
Fujisaki has a meek and timid personality. Interestingly, she has gained several fans as result, which has been noted in the Prologue by Makoto Naegi. She, on the other hand, personally has a complex over being looked down on by others as a weak person. This happened to result from memories and experiences from her childhood where she was frequently told to act tougher due to her being born male and expected to fill that role.

When she was attempting to reason with Togami in the Chapter 2, she was revealed to take great disdain for disputes that occur between friends. Ishimaru came up with the idea that everyone should share the secret that Monobear was planning on sharing. Naturally, most of them declined the request, however Fujisaki was one of the very few that would tell her secret of her own will. Instead of falling into despair, she in fact becomes very determined to overcome her weakness.

Pre-Despair Incident
When Fujisaki was a child, she was too weak to play outside with his friends, causing him to begin playing on the computer to make the time pass. Her father, a system engineer, had developed many major computer programs, and one day, Fujisaki finds an incomplete information retrieval system that uses voice input. This leads him to the development of creating his own modifications for it, and he soon realized that he could write programs by himself. His father praised him for his work, and as Fujisaki finally found something he could take pride in, he became absorbed in programming.

High School Life of Mutual Killing
Fujisaki was first seen alongside the other students in front of the school gate. When introducing himself to Naegi, it was painfully awkward for her, and she apologized several times as a result.

Fujisaki was visibly shocked after witnessing Kuwata’s execution. He thought that he and the other students were no better than Kuwata, since they indirectly murdered him by voting for Kuwata as the culprit. When Togami was found in the library after his sudden disappearance, he began to antagonize Fujisaki, causing Oowada to interject between the two by saying that it was not right to do that to the weak. Oowada's statement greatly demoralized Fujisaki.

The next morning, the students gathered in the Cafeteria. Fujisaki, still feeling down due to the events that transpired the day before, began crying after Oowada's argument with Ishimaru. Taken aback by Fujisaki’s reaction, Oowada immediately regretted his action and promised to protect his from any danger. This touched Fujisaki’s heart so much that he decided to become stronger in order not to become a burden on the others. Fujisaki also said that he would start working out to achieve that, much to Yamada’s dismay. After this, Oogami and Asahina asked her to go to the gym room to work out together. However, Fujisaki declined their invitation in fear of having his secret revealed.

After Monobear gave the students envelopes containing their most embarrassing secret as the motive for murder, Fujisaki was shocked to see her secret: ‘Instead of wearing man’s clothes, Chihiro Fujisaki dresses as a girl.’ However, instead of feeling scared, he became even more determined to tell his secret in an attempt to change and be stronger. She concluded that she should share her secret with Oowada, whom Fujisaki admired, by inviting him to go work out together at the gym. That night, Fujisaki went to the storage room, attempting to search for a jersey that she needed to wear for her first workout session. He was intercepted by Celes, who happened to pass near the storage room. Startled with the gambler’s sudden appearance, Fujisaki quickly took off without mentioning where he intended to go off to.

When he arrived at the gym, he met up with Oowada and revealed his secret to him. As Oowada was still feeling pressured by Monobear’s threat, he felt envious of Fujisaki, since unlike him, Fujisaki did not run from his problem and was actively trying to make his life better. Ultimately, his envy toward Fujisaki turned into anger, leading to his murder.

Later, it was discovered that Fujisaki had designed an artificial intelligence in an attempt to decrypt files about Hope's Peak Academy and she hid it in the locker room, away from the cameras, in the form of a laptop that he had taken from the library. That AI was the reason that Naegi survived his execution and the remaining students were able to escape the academy.

Execution
Super Fujisaki Bros - In his execution, Fujisaki is put inside a 8-bit sidescrolling game. A group of huge pixelated Monobears would appear behind him as he tries to run. Eventually, they would catch up to him, causing Chihiro's sprite to pop out of existence. This execution is only shown in the Official Fanbook.

Mondo Oowada
Fujisaki admired Oowada, thinking he had a lot of strength, although he hadn't realized the emotional strain Oowada was under because of Monobear's intention of revealing everyone's secret. Before then, Fujisaki and Oowada had a good relationship with each other. Oowada defended Fujisaki from Togami, showing his dislike for bullying weak people. Soon after, Oowada showed another side of himself when he accidently yelled at Fujisaki, causing her to cry. Oowada immediately apologizes and promises to never yell again, and swears by his honor as a man. Thanks to this, he was able to cheer Fujisaki up.

Once Fujisaki revealed her secret to Oowada, and that he wanted to change, Oowada flies into a rage, and kills her with a dumbbell in the boy's changing room. After realizing what he had done, Oowada attempts to keep Fujisaki's secret for as long as possible by switching the crime scene, and destroying his ElectroID in the sauna. Oowada had immense guilt for killing Fujisaki, and felt that he had to atone for what he had done.
