Hifumi Yamada

Hifumi Yamada (山田 一二三 Yamada Hifumi ) is one of the characters featured in Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair. He was a famous doujin author who was able to sell ten thousand copies of his work at the culture festival in his school. He also claimed to favor 2D girls in comparison of 3D ones, though his attitude around them proved otherwise. He was killed by Celes, who, in turn, manipulated him into murdering Ishimaru in Chapter 3.

Appearance
Yamada is an overweight boy with black hair and a pointed ahoge. He also wears glasses. He is dressed in a white shirt with an orange tie which has a blue arrow at the tip pointing upwards. Yamada wears a grey, unbuttoned cardigan over his shirt and carries around an orange backpack. He wears black trousers and white trainers.

Personality
Yamada comes across as creepy and perverted, possibly due to his tendency to make an innuendo over some things that other students said; a trait that creeps Kuwata out. He also has a habit of referencing a lot of anime or video games in his speech. In his Free Time sequence, it is shown that he is very passionate about Buko, a female lead in his favorite anime series, Heretic Angel ☆ Mochi Mochi Princess. He has a particular dislike toward people who supposedly don’t understand the true meaning of doujin, even going as far to claim that they’re ruining everything. His dream is to ‘save’ other people by making a doujin that will inspire them to create their own.
