He is described as attractive looking and looking like "a playboy".

Personality
Rantaro is a relaxed and care-free person. Even though he cannot remember his talent, he isn't particularly worried about it and just looks forward to finding it out. He seems to smile quite a lot, describing himself as "not a suspicious guy". He gives off a really calm and composed vibe and is quite the reliable person.

Despite his appearance and manner of speech, he also has cold, excellent insight. While other students descend into confusion and chaos, he is capable of coldly interrogating Monokuma and the Monokuma Cubs about their motives. He also shows a deep understanding of the situation and often talks and acts like he knows something the others don't know.

Rantaro is aware that he looks like "a playboy", but he insists he doesn't have a girlfriend. Because of having multiple little sisters, he can sometimes act like a big brother and is very knowledgeable about some things that are often considered feminine. He used to help his siblings in many ways, including schoolwork and nail art.

Demo - Class Trial Ver.
Rantaro first seen in front of the classroom where Kaede Akamatsu awake. When he encountered Kaede and Makoto Naegi he asked whether they remembered being here before. He speculated that all of them have an amnesia after being brainwashed or group hypnosis. He states that he doesn't remember his talent and looking forward to remembering it. Strangely enough, his talent doesn't list on the freshman document and Makoto commented that he probably one of the student that doesn't want his talent to be known so easily.

Kaede Akamatsu
As shown in one of character trailer of Danganronpa V3, Rantaro admired how Kaede could pull everyone together and is impressed with her leadership skill. Kaede thinks that he is a refreshing person and easy to talk to. Kaede was surprised how Rantaro acts so care-free and relaxed before the class trial in the demo starts. She states that even though things have become more complicated, Rantaro has found the way to clear the whole situation, which made her curious. She was also confused how Rantaro speaks so calmly against Monokuma during the situation and is desperate to find what Rantaro's true talent is. {{spoiler| During their free time events, Kaede states that she wants to be friends with Amami no matter who he was in the past. Despite of him having his talent as unknown and him being suspicious, Kaede still cares for Amami and respects him and believes that he is not the mastermind behind the whole killing game. Kaede light his mind up with hope and made him not fall into despair. Amami seems to also care for Kaede. He feels worried and commented how Kaede is trying to help everyone but says that she should take it easy to make it a good idea. Amami calls both of them as comrades amongst all of the SHSLs. He thinks Kaede is easy to talk to and feels ease whenever he is next to Kaede.

Later on, in Chapter 1, it was shown that these two seems to be likely in great terms with each other and gets along. It was shown that Rantaro was painting Kaede's nails and suggest the nail design that Kaede needs since her nails were short. Rantaro is extremely patient with Kaede and they both have faith in each other with trust. Kaede inspired Amami with words that it fills his heart with his determination. Later, Amami suggests that he should go to the library to find the secret door lead to the mastermind's secret place but got killed by the mastermind unknowningly. Without knowing, Kaede got involved at the wrong time and distracted Rantaro from the mastermind's attack. Later in the trial, Kaede believed that she was the culprit who murdered Rantaro and confesses her sins and regrets for "killing" Amami after the trial end and later got executed.

Shuuichi Saihara
When Rantaro met Kaede and Saihara, Saihara seems confused how Amami mention about everyone gathering and getting amnesia. He somehow thinks he is mysterious and have some clues about his backstory. In the love hotel event, Saihara sees Amami as a private tutor or a teacher. Saihara feels uncomfortable however when Amami treated him like a "child" based on their age and height. Amami assumed that Saihara dislikes him based on his personality but Saihara denies it. Amami states that he no longer would be Saihara's teacher. He thinks he made Saihara uneasy and Saihara could be in danger with Amami.

Amami states that he would protect a Saihara so he wouldn't lose another person that was very important to him. Saihara is curious and thinks Amami's delusion is mysterious. Amami feels relieved that Saihara doesn't despite him or else Amami would die as a "joke" but Saihara doesn't believe it was a joke. Saihara rather let himself hear Amami's story to risk his life on "danger" than letting Amami dealing with dangerous things alone. In the end of the event, Amami starts to feel glad and trust Saihara even more and waiting for the time to tell him his story. }}
