Makoto Naegi

Makoto Naegi is the protagonist of Dangan Ronpa.

Personality
Naegi is friendly and a lot more down-to-earth than other students. This is possibly the reason why he is capable of approaching and befriending them in Free Time sequence. He tends to act passively in conversation. Junko also refers to him as an 'herbivore man,' which she means that Naegi is likely to be the passive one in a relationship. According to him, his most distinguished feature is his optimism. Naegi would make use of this particular trait later on the final trial where he prevents the other students from giving in to the despair that starts to overtake them, earning him the title 'Super High School Level Hope.'
