Name: Yasuhiro Hagakure Age: 20 Gender: Male Role: Ultimate Clairvoyant

Appearance: At the beginning of the Killing School Life in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, due to the memory loss he suffered along with the other participants, Yasuhiro is actually two years older than he believes. He states he is 21 (20 in Japan) but still in high school because he was "held back a few times", meaning he flunked, which makes him considerably older than his classmates.

He has light brown skin, stubble on his chin and thin dark brown eyes. His dark brown hair is styled in large, spiked locs that bend backward.

As his uniform, Yasuhiro wears three layers of shirts. The top layer is a green Japanese male uniform jacket that he wears draped over his shoulders. Underneath, he has an unbuttoned white shirt, and beneath that, a small yellow short-sleeved shirt. He wears a brown haramaki and uses a yellow rope as a belt to hold up his large black pants, which are rolled up past his ankles. He also wears sandals. On his left wrist, he wears a brown beaded bracelet featuring the symbol of his Former High School on each bead. Personality: Yasuhiro is one of the more cheery, laid-back students, though a bit odd as well. However, he is generally not well-liked and he himself has openly admitted that he has no friends, being quite cowardly, lazy, slow-witted, and having a habit to act selfishly. Notably, he is mentioned to be very clumsy with money and he has constant problems with massive debts. This trait is especially apparent when he stated that he bought his crystal ball (which is made of glass instead of crystal) at the price of 100 million yen due to it being used by Napoleon, Genghis Khan, and George Washington in the past. He has also bought multiple items related to fortune-telling, despite not actually having any use for them. He tends to talk absurdly about subjects such as conspiracy theories and the one time aliens stole his hamburger. However, he really hates it if someone compares his fortune-telling to the occult, frequently insisting that they are not the same. He is also afraid of ghosts and would freak out if such a subject comes up in a conversation. Whenever he "senses" one, he swiftly recites a chant, casts a spell, or begs for help from a hero, a god, or a famous person (often random, even multiple ones). Furthermore, he is stated to be absolutely horrible with women and has bad hygiene, claiming that he washes his hair once a season.

Yasuhiro is quite gullible, and at first acts laid-back about the killing game, thinking it's some sort of a prank. However, after realizing it is real, he turns much more panicky and he is generally considered useless by the other students. However, he does treat his fellow classmates with general friendliness, going so far as to add the suffix "-chi", an affectionate term for dear friends in Japanese, to the end of everyone's last name (except for Sakura Ogami, whom he is afraid of and just calls with the insulting nickname "Ogre"). This habit of his is also shared with his mother. In English translations, he tends to call other people "dude".

Yasuhiro has quite a cowardly personality and often attempts to trick other people to get rid of his massive debts, charging incredibly high prices for his readings that, according to other people, often do not fit the accuracy of his fortune-telling. Yasuhiro also seems to possess a smarter, more cunning side despite regularly appearing slow-witted. During his Free Time Events, he attempts to get Makoto to donate his organs so he could pay off a debt without having to dip into his own savings so he could retire in comfort, which causes even the usually trusting Makoto to feel that he cannot let his guard down around Yasuhiro. In Chapter 4, he admits that he has no problem hitting girls who can't fight back, and tried to frame Toko for the supposed murder when he thought he had killed Sakura. His attack on Sakura was due to impulsively lashing out due to his fear, but in the end, he takes responsibility for his actions. However, in a desperate move after joining Future Foundation and going on a mission in Towa City, he pretended to be sick in order to run away on his own so he could steal valuable items from the area and try to pay off his debt.

Despite his many flaws, Yasuhiro does possess a good side. In Ultra Despair Hagakure, he finally tries to become more of a hero and helps Kanon Nakajima, occasionally acting selfless and even though still retaining some of his greedy and selfish nature, he saves her life. He is also stated to genuinely love and care about his mother very much, which is why she was his Target. In Danganronpa 3, he appears slightly braver and shows concern for his friends when they are in trouble, generally feeling more genuine comradeship towards them than before. He manages to survive on his own for quite a while outside the building while being chased by helicopters and in the end, he runs to protect Makoto from brainwashed, armed men despite not having any weapons of his own (though he was followed by Byakuya and his men). It is also notable that while he acts similarly to a con artist, he does possess actual supernatural abilities, as he truly is capable of seeing visions of possible futures. However, it is unknown whether or not he can actually sense ghosts as he claims. Yasuhiro also has a strange tendency to survive tough situations against all odds. As a somewhat hidden side, he also displays amazing self-trained penmanship and a working knowledge of electronics (by leading the dismantling of Monokuma and rewiring an antennae to pick up television signals from the outside world).

Speech style: He speaks in a casual, laid-back manner—always calm or prone to joking—as if he doesn’t take anything seriously. He’s playful, enjoys giving people nicknames, and uses street-slang, along with the occasional bit of profanity.

Background/Lore: Prior to the Tragedy Yasuhiro lived alone with his mother, Hiroko Hagakure, who loves him dearly despite his many flaws. Very little is known about his father, though his father apparently lived with them at some point, as Yasuhiro once mentioned their house burning down because his father fell asleep with a burning cigarette. According to his mother, there was some sort of trouble between them because she did something and let it go on too long, causing them to break up. Yasuhiro himself had several problems with women and money, and he was also held back about four times in middle and high school. He used to attend Kiiwatetsu Commerce High School.

Yasuhiro saved up a small fortune by offering his services as a Fortune-Teller. Whilst his predictions rate alone netted him on most clients, it is also implied that he scammed much more. He claims to have spent the money on rare artifacts of mystical origins, such as a 100-million-yen crystal ball that was allegedly owned by Napoleon Bonaparte and George Washington. These were invariably proved to be forgeries.

After attempting to "squeeze money out of" a wealthy female client, Yasuhiro became the target of her father's mafia connections; in Danganronpa IF, it was revealed that the extorted female client was from the Kuzuryu Clan (presumably Natsumi Kuzuryu) and that Yasuhiro had apparently attempted to sell Makoto's organs to them. Unwilling to pay off his debts by either selling his collections or digging into his savings, Yasuhiro went into hiding for three years before taking shelter at Hope's Peak Academy. He then attended the Academy as the Ultimate Clairvoyant.

Yasuhiro explains that the reason she was chosen is because she is the woman who raised him, and the person he loves most in the entire world. Hiroko is very proud and protective of her son and seems to ignore his flaws, for the most part.

She is mentioned by Yasuhiro in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony's bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan, when Tenko Chabashira tells him to appreciate all the women in his life.

Class 78th: Survivors of the Killing School Life Yasuhiro seems to think of all his fellow survivors from the Killing School Life as friends. However, sometimes they don't think much of him, possibly due to his personality. Aoi even forgets about him at one point, and Byakuya does not help Yasuhiro out when he is asked to carry many heavy boxes (although he does do this to everyone). Toko is also very jealous of Yasuhiro since he became an official member of the Future Foundation. Still, Yasuhiro seems to have faith in their ability to survive, which is shown when Makoto, Kyoko, and Aoi get stuck in the Future Foundation building, and he assured himself that they'd be fine.
