TENKO CHABASHIRA

Tenko Chabashira is a student in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles and a participant of the Killing School Semester featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. Her title is the Ultimate Aikido Master. Tenko had a fabricated past where she trained Neo-Aikido with her Master, who told her to avoid men and that they would weaken her spirit. The Gofer Project was another fabrication created by Team Danganronpa, where Tenko and 15 other students were selected to escape Earth's destruction on a spaceship colony but chose to live as normal high school students instead. They were then hunted down by an extremist cult trying to stop the Gofer Project. In reality, their memories of this event were connected to Hope's Peak Academy during the Killing School Semester game run by Makoto Naegi and Future Foundation, making them believe they were trapped there due to Junko Enoshima's actions. Despite having some inconsistencies in these fabrications, it filled everyone with determination needed to continue playing the game until its end

Ultimate Aikido Master Aikido is not about competing for fun to see each other's strengths and weaknesses. By working together and using techniques that make full use of your mind, body, and breath... ...you can measure your physical and mental growth. That is the true purpose of Aikido. You do not compete for superiority in Aikido. In fact, in Aikido you do not compete at all. Aikido is not a martial art for inflicting harm, but a way to improve yourself! TENKO CHABASHIRA

Tenko's talent as the Ultimate Aikido Master is a fabrication made by Team Danganronpa. Due to that fact, it is unclear whether Tenko is a talented Aikido practitioner in the past.

Tenko and her master developed a new style of Aikido named the Neo-Aikido. Different from the original teaching of Aikido, the Neo-Aikido that Tenko invented is more aggressive and has many offensive techniques. Tenko even believes that the only true way of training for Neo-Aikido is actual battle. However, in reality, Neo-Aikido was only invented in order to control Tenko's over-activity and anger issues when she was a child. Through the Neo-Aikido training, Tenko learned about mental fortitude through its moves. She is also able to read and understand her training partner's emotion.

Mentioned in the non-canon bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan, despite her talent, Tenko lacks refinement and does whatever she wants with her body. She possesses many other traits that seem to indicate she isn't a very fitting martial arts practitioner, like impulsiveness, low tolerance for pain and disregard for fair rules. This could be because it may not be her real skill.
