Miu Iruma

"I'm the gorgeous girl genius whose good looks and golden brain will go down in history! I'm the one, the only, the legendary Ultimate Inventor herself - Miu Iruma!"

- Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (Demo)

Miu Iruma (入間 美兎 Iruma Miu) is a character featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and a participant of the Killing Game Semester.

Miu is an inventor responsible for creating widely acclaimed products such as "Eye Drop Contact Lenses", though she considers them a failure since she had to work to create them. Despite this, she was still given the title of the Ultimate Inventor (超高校級の「発明家」 chō kōkō kyū no “hatsumeika” lit. Super High School Level Inventor).

Early Life
{{Spoiler/for|Danganronpa V3|
 * Before Joining Danganronpa

Miu Iruma is a normal talentless high school girl who participated in the 53rd Season of Danganronpa, a famous worldwide reality show made by Team Danganronpa.

Miu and the other talentless fifteen students undergo the fabrication process, where all of their past memory and personality were heavily fabricated. She also received the talent and title of Ultimate Inventor. All of this were done for the sake of satisfying Danganronpa's audience from all around the world. After the fabrication process done, Miu and the others entered the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles as a whole different person, officially commencing the 53rd killing game season known as the Killing Game Semester.

During her time in high school, Miu attended Shinmei Industries High School (神明工業高校). However, it is unclear if this memory of her is a part of the fabrication made by Team Danganronpa.


 * Fabricated Past

After she successfully participated in the 53rd Killing Game, Miu's memories and past were fabricated by Team Danganronpa as follows.

Miu's career as an inventor included the commercialization of her "Eye-drop Contacts". However, because her principle motto is "how can you live life when you're so relaxed it's like you’re still asleep," she treats them as a failure.

The Gofer Project
Part of the fake backstories created for Miu and the other fifteen students was The Gofer Project, which supposedly happened before the killing game started. It was initiated by the government after countless meteorites crashed into Earth. To try and preserve the last vestiges of mankind before the Earth's destruction, the government decided to select a number of excellent human beings, put them in a spaceship, and have them escape.

Miu and fifteen other high school students were chosen to participate. Not wanting to abandon their loved ones, they attempted to escape from the plan.

Around that time, an extremist cult came into power. They believed that the meteor crashes were a punishment humanity brought upon itself, and having heard of The Gofer Project, they tried to stop it. As a result, the “Ultimate Hunt” started and spread throughout the world, and the sixteen students were hunted down.

The government then decided to counter the situation by faking the students' deaths, calming down the “Ultimate Hunt” while providing protection to the students. The Gofer Project was then put into action while the Earth was being destroyed. Miu and the others went to the space in a massive colony spaceship, the true form of Ultimate Academy of Gifted Juveniles.

Kokichi Oma, one of the participant of the plan, declared himself as a member of Junko Enoshima's Remnants of Despair who masterminded the Killing Game and let Monokuma entered the spaceship, effectively forcing Miu and the others to participate in the Killing Game.

It should be noted that Miu has no complete recollection of the event, as she was murdered before she actually received a complete memory about The Gofer Project by the Flashback Light in Chapter 5. }}

Killing Game Semester
{{spoiler|When Kaede Akamatsu and Shuichi Saihara met Miu, she accused Shuichi of looking at "her tits". She said that all boys who wear hats are perverts, and he became frustrated with her, causing Miu to cower in fear.

After Miu introduced herself as the Super High School Level Inventor, she explained that she makes inventions that allow you to do things like eating while you are sleeping. She also said she accidentally made some eye drop contact lenses, and Kaede said one of her friends used them, which angered Miu, since she wasn't proud of that invention and sold the rights to a company.

In Chapter 1, Miu agreed to invent a camera for Kaede and Shuichi to use as part of their plan to catch the Mastermind after they begged to her. After Rantaro Amami was murdered in the library where the camera was installed, Miu reminded them that they could use it to see who killed him, but the camera didn't catch the murder.

During the investigation, she used a drone to capture the full layout of the library from above, this proves a key point in the later trial.

Miu was noticeably distressed when Kaede was revealed to have killed Rantaro, and she witnessed her brutal execution. She asked Angie Yonaga, who prays for Kaede to find peace, how she could rest in peace after such a horrible way to go.

During the second trial, it was revealed that Miu had stripped to her underwear in an attempt to unnerve Gonta. Kokichi Oma had noticed Miu and described it as her having an "erotic time". Miu proudly proclaimed her reasoning and told Gonta that he should be glad he got to see her beautiful body, though it is clear that at the time, she was just as embarrassed as he was.

Sometime after the second trial, Miu went to her Research Lab along with K1-B0 in order to install a lot of new functions to his body.

Miu was part of the students who antagonized Angie Yonaga's Student Council in Chapter 3, claiming God's existence to be unscientific. After Shuichi told her about the computer room, she started to spend day and night examining it, which was another cause of conflict with the Student Council due to their curfew rule.

New World Program
From the starting of Chapter 3, Miu was really busy in preparing her murder plan. Using the computer on the third floor, she created a parallel world that she dubbed as "paradise" where no killings will be committed. This was only her lie so she could commit a perfect plan.

Once she completed her preparation in Chapter 4, Miu begged to everyone to enter the parallel world with her. She said that she already deleted everything that could be a murder weapon inside the parallel world and stated that there might be clues of the outside world. With this, all of her friends agreed and proceed to enter the parallel world.

Miu planned to kill Kokichi Oma in the virtual world killing game, and placed a bottle of poison on Kokichi's chair to make it look like he had been killed by the poison. However, Kokichi manipulated Gonta into killing Miu by strangling her avatar with a roll of toilet paper. }}

Name
Miu's first name can translate as "beautiful rabbit" - possibly referencing her two ahoges. Her last name, "Iruma", can be loosely translated as "entering space," but can also refer to the name of.

Alternate Fates
In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (Demo Version), Miu was first seen inside the girl's bathroom. She introduced herself as the mighty, greatest inventor all of time to Kaede Akamatsu. In instant, Miu nicknamed her as "Miss Piggy/Pig Tits" and bragging about useful products that she invented.

Appearance
Miu is a tall young woman with long blonde hair and a pair of ahoges. She has bluish-grey eyes. Her irises, as well as the rings around her pupils, have an unusual, ragged pattern, making them appear slightly mechanical-looking and thus possibly referencing her talent.

Miu wears brown colored goggles on her head. She wears a pink sailor school uniform and matching skirt. She wears black fingerless gloves and black boots with gold buttons on them. The buckles on the boots are also gold. She wears black straps connected by gold rings on her legs, and over her clothes. The straps for her legs have gold clips that are attached to her white socks. She wears a black choker collar, and two smaller black collars, around her neck. On her collar, she wears a blue bear pin with a red ribbon wrapped around its neck.

In the box art, Miu has a brown backpack that has two long metal arms coming out of it.

Personality
Miu is described as an oddball, having an overly confident, loud personality and a frighteningly sharp tongue. She considers herself a beautiful genius, and every time she opens her mouth she spews a parade of reckless vulgar remarks and insults, strongly putting pressure on others and looking down on them. In the original Japanese, she even uses the Japanese word "ore-sama" to refer herself, which is considered very arrogant and more traditionally masculine. She also tends to give other characters insulting nicknames.

However, Miu's arrogant personality seems to be only a mask which can drop fairly easily. This often happens when her festival of coarse language and dirty jokes actually get replied or ignored. Then, her personality quickly changes into a timid weakling, who is terrified of other people being angry with her. Because of this, she has the charm similar to an innocent child.

As an inventor, Miu is skilled but also an eccentric who treats her failed projects with the idea that "I transferred the rights to the company, so it's got nothing to do with me". She has made all kinds amazing conviniences both inside and outside of the game, but only deems her inventions as a success when they help the user to perform a task while sleeping.

Miu also appears quite perverted and openly says bizarre, obscene things during her arrogant mood, meaning almost constantly.

Ultimate Inventor
Miu is a very skilled inventor, and she has created lots of ground-breaking products, her first invention being "Eye-Drop Contacts".

Miu also invented many useful products such as a product that can help one to type on the keyboard, reading manga and understand it, and eating meals all done while the user is sleeping.

Relationships

 * Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles:

Kaito Momota
Being the two loudest and outspoken characters, they get into disagreements. These disagreements can cause them to throw insults at each other. During the Danganronpa V3 demo, Miu calls Kaito a "flower-garden brained idiot." Because these two can get emotional, both can end up losing their tempers, with Kaito scaring Miu in the end.

Kaede Akamatsu
Miu and Kaede's relationship can be a bit negative at times, as Miu has a tendency to insult her just like she insults everyone else, and specifically calls her "Kaeidiot" (Bakamatsu in Japanese) and keeps calling her breasts tiny. However, while Kaede can be a bit annoyed by Miu's rudeness, she feels sympathetic and protective of her whenever she shows her weaker side.

Shuichi Saihara
When Shuichi and Kaede first approached Miu, she assumed that Shuichi was staring at her breasts. Miu then called Shuichi a pervert and that was why he wore a hat. However, Shuichi then stands up for himself and Miu gets startled by this as she thought he was a weakling.
