Korekiyo Shinguji (真宮寺 是清), also known as Kiyo, is a student at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles and a participant in the Killing School Semester in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. His official title is Ultimate Anthropologist (超高校級の「民俗学者」, Super High School Level Folklorist). Shinguji is introduced as a calm, intelligent, and aloof student with a deep interest in human culture and anthropology. In-game, he is the deteriorating antagonist of the Killing Game, ultimately killing Angie Yonaga and Tenko Chabashira to send them to the afterlife to be with his late, beloved older sister. His actions are part of the game’s central mystery, and his backstory contains both in-universe and meta elements — the game hints that his “true” personality may have been fabricated by the Mastermind. Before the Killing Game, canon and fanon sources describe him as a normal high school boy who auditioned for the Danganronpa reality TV show’s 53rd season and was selected to participate. Shinguji is tall (188 cm in JP version) with pale skin, long ocean-green hair, and narrowed yellow eyes. He wears a sage-green mask covering his mouth and neck, often with a zipper, and a dark green military-style uniform with a red armband from his former school, Sunset Hill High School. His hands are bandaged, and he carries a silver locket. The mask and uniform are tied to his late sister’s influence. He is portrayed as cool-headed, rational, and observant, often detached from his classmates. His anthropological background allows him to remain composed in high-pressure situations.
