Backstory: Prior to being a student at Hope’s Peak Academy and having been unluckily dragged into the Killing Game that would change his life forever, Makoto was just an ordinary guy, with an ordinary family, and an ordinary life. Before getting accepted into Hope’s Peak, a high school full of extremely talented teenagers, he had been struck by a terrible streak of bad luck (from losing a game of ‘rock, paper, scissors,’ all the way to accidentally being involved in a dangerous incident with a jewel thief, all just because he took the long way home), he had received a letter in the mail, accepting him into Hope’s Peak as Class 78th’s Ultimate Lucky Student, where he’d just gotten lucky to have his name randomly drawn to attend the school. He would spend a year at Hope’s Peak before his classmate, Junko Enoshima, would erase his and the rest of Class 78th’s memories and place them in a Killing Game, where they would be required to kill their friends and get away with it in order to graduate. Makoto would be one of six survivors of the Killing Game, ending it with Junko essentially revealing herself as the mastermind, then executing herself in the form of the Ultimate Punishment. Post Killing Game, Makoto had joined the Future Foundation, a group of Hope’s Peak alumni formed due to The Tragedy (aka ‘The Worst, Most Despair-inducing Incident in the History of Mankind‘) in hopes to undo the damage that the Ultimate Despair had caused.
