Santa Shikiba

Santa Shikiba (色葉 田田田 Shikiba Santa) is the Ultimate Botanist (超高校級の「植物学者」chō kōkō kyū no "shokubutsu gakusha"). He is mentioned only once in the game by title, and his name and appearance are only shown in the art book. Not much else is known about him, except that he engineered the Monokuma Flower located in the garden on the fifth floor of the academy and that he is already dead.

Appearance
Santa wears a white coat over a plain white shirt, long light-brown pants and white boots. The collar of his coat is adorned with a flower-shaped pin. The lower half of his dark brown hair is trimmed while the upper half is shaped like two horns on both sides of his scalp - giving his hair the shape of the letter "U". He also has a widow's peak and a round nose.

Santa's official art shows him holding two blooming sakura branches.

Trivia

 * His given name is written as 田田田, which is the character ta, meaning "rice field", repeated three (san in Japanese) times. Literally, this nonexistent writing for "Santa" would mean "field, field, field".
