Korekiyo Shinguji

Korekiyo Shinguji (真宮寺 是清 Shingūji Korekiyo) is a character featured in New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing.

His title is Ultimate Folklorist (超高校級の「民俗学者」chō kōkō kyū no “minzoku gakusha”). He has seen many places and people, and as a result he has formed his pet theory of "humanity's unlimited beauty".

Appearance
Korekiyo is a tall, slim student with rather pale skin and long black hair. He has rather narrow golden eyes and his mouth is covered by a black mask with a zipper on it, giving him a scary appearance.

He is wearing a dark green military-style uniform with matching knee-high black boots. The uniform consists of a white shirt underneath it, a dark green button-up, and a red band around his right arm. Around his neck, he's wearing what appears to be some kind of locket. Notably, both of his hands are completely covered in bandages.

Personality
Korekiyo is somewhat strange and very cool-headed person. Being the Ultimate Folklorist, he has seen many places and people in order to gather more information.

He has formed a pet theory of "humanity's unlimited beauty" and he has a deep interest in it. Even during the killing game, he observes other students and is very interested to see what kind of beauty they will display as humans under such circumstances. This may imply that he has somewhat unempathetic personality, as he possibly cares about his own interests more than the lives of other people.

New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing
In order to study folklore, Korekiyo has visited various areas and met with many people. From that experience, he has formed a pet theory of "humanity's unlimited beauty".

Trivia

 * Korekiyo's first name (是清) can translate as "just and pure".
 * His last name is composed of the characters 真 - meaning "true", 宮 - meaning "palace" and 寺 - meaning "temple".
 * Interestingly, the word 宮 miya, aside from its literal meaning, is also used to refer to (usually larger and/or more significant) Shinto shrines, while the word 寺 tera is reserved for Buddhist temples. Considering how Shintoism and Buddhism are practiced side by side in Japan, and how Japanese folk culture draws heavily from both faiths, Korekiyo's last name could be said to imply at his field of expertise.
