Danganronpa Сharacters and Their Meaning of Names 

Keebo's name: Exists Nagito:

We all know Junko is the purest character in the series

Wow when gundham addresses himself as “Tanaka the forbidden one” he literally meant it

Fun fact, the Danganronpa team won't leave poor Korekiyo alone. Kore means 'close to', or 'near'. It could be used to say 'mine' or 'where are you' Kiyo typically means a female relative, but is more closely used as 'sister', or even 'babysitter' His last name, Shinguuji, roughly translates to 'palace' or 'temple' You know how people call their body their 'temple'? Korekiyo's name literally fucking means 'This is my sister's body'.

They weren’t kidding when they said Angie’s name was messenger of God

I like how Junkos means pure but She really isn’t

Fun fact!: maki also means “roll”. No wonder kaito calls her maki roll

Everybody: *names have thoughtful, inspiring meanings* Mikan: *TaNgErInE*

Celestia's name: Heaven Her execution: s a T a N

Mondo's parents must've been clairvoyants..

THE FACT THAT NAGITO’S IS HOPE AND MONDO’S MEANS BUTTER I JUST CANT XD

Korekiyo: clean Me: I mean his laugh do be sounding like a spry bottle

Mondo Butter would be an interesting concept but let’s face it, he wouldn’t live after struggling with the wheels on a shopping cart

*MONDO MEANS BUTTER?- EVEN THE DANGANRONPA TEAM THEMSELVES LIKE THE JOKE*

I like how Mondo, Mukuro, Nagito, Makoto, and Peko’s names all fit them and their fates so well.

Fun fact:Chiaki's first name was based in chihiro as he(Alter ego) created her AI Chi for Chihiro Aki for fujisaki

"Sayaka means brilliant" Sayaka: *chooses a professional athlete as her target for murder *

Hiyoko: Sun Mahiru: Broad Daylight Himiko: Sun daughter Wait a minute...

I just love how it says Angie means messenger of god. It’s just ✨PERFECT✨

Peko translates to sin. Chapter 2's name is "Sea and punishment, *Sin* and coconuts" Peko is also the culprit there. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Imagine naming your child “Corpse” and “Butter” and “Tangerine” *stares intensely at Mukuro, Mondo and Mikan*

Kokichi: "Small luck" Nagito:Are you chalenging me?

Fuyuhiko means “Winter” *That kinda fits since he’s COLD blooded!*

Other characters names: *Beautiful names with good meanings* Hifumi: O N E T W O T H R E E

Ok ok hear me out- *Himiko is Hiyoko and Mahiru's secret love child*

We just need some danganronpa characters that have names meaning “2” and “3” so they would make hifumi ☺️

Everyone:nice meanings Mikan: *tangerine*

Everyones meaning: Brave ✨ Sun 😩 Kazuichi: O N E

Why nobody is talking about Nekomaru's Round Cat? 😭

Fun fact, a vast amount of these names are actually mistranslated. The kanji in their names actually mean something much different, like Toko (冬子) actually means “winter child”, or Kyoko (響子), which means “noise/loud clash, (like a thunderclap or sudden burst of noise) child”, or even Ibuki (唯吹), which means “brief whistle/a slight blow (in the breathing sense)”. These are just a few to name, but there are certainly more mistranslations in the video. I’m actually quite surprised Byakuya and Hifumi’s names was translated correctly. Others are just plain jokes (such as Mondo’s being butter). I wish this video was done better because it spreads quite a bit of misinformation. Side note, Japanese names really are quite poetic.

Kaito: What chu know bout rollin’ down in the deep-

Everyone: Having normal meaning of names Mondo, Mikan and Nekomaru: am I a joke to you?

fun fact: akane was originally supposed to be the mastermind/antag, both her names also reference this (her last name meaning "ending", parallel to hajime which means beginning/first.)

It's funny how I always think of Kaito when hearing "Astronaut in the ocean" but then his name means "flying over the sea"

Mondo : Butter His execution : Turn him into butter☠️☠️

Junko's word "Jun" means "shield"(盾), not "pure"(純). And her sister's name "Ikusaba" means "sword" She's the counterpart to Junko.

Small luck Kokichi…he really had a small luck

FubFact: If you mix Mondo’s name and his brother’s name (Daiya) it will make up a word "Daiyamondo" which means diamond in japanese.

Junko name fittimg her perfectly! She's such a sweetheart🥰 So pure nice amd caring.

Angie: messenger of god Also Angie: believes in the god Atua Christians: wait that’s illegal

I just love how they put Levi as clean for Korekiyo lol

Peko’s meaning: *Sin* Chapter 2: Sea and Punishment *Sin* and coconuts I see what you did there Danganronpa

Nagito: luck Kokichi: small luck DO U SEE A PATTERN HERE?

Sayaka's full name translates to "Brilliant Garden" because I read that Maizono meant garden and Sayaka means brilliant

I'm Japanese. ・Aoi → hollyhock ・Chihiro→ to last long ・Junko→ shield ・Kyoko→ resonant , echo ・Mondo→ dia"mond” ・Toko→ winter ・Hajime→ 創(make the future)⬅︎〇 一(beginning)⬅︎× ・Nagito→ Nagi (a calm sea) to (show a talent) ・Himiko→ secret ・Kaito→ Kai (solve,wind off) to (show a talent) ・Kirumi→ cut and beautiful ・Maki→ evil princess ・Miu→ beautiful rabbit ・Rantaro→ orchid ・Shuichi→ End and first ・Tenko→ to roll

K1-b0: Hope Nagito: come to me…my waifu

0:22 *the fact her name means pure makes everything more questionable and funny lmao*

Its interesting to see Kibo and Nagito’s names both mean hope, as someone who’s only experience of Japanese is trying to learn hirigana. Excluding the Na from Nagito, you have Gi To or ぎと and you have Ki Bo or きど. They come from the same kana! Maybe i should try learning japanese for real

I find it amazing that the fact that hajime means beginning and his birthday is January 1st.

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Hifumi’s: *1 2 3*

Makoto Naegi: LN:bud of the tree N:truth,sincerely Komaru Naegi: LN:bud of tree tree N:embarrassed Sayaka Maizono: LN:the land of dancing N:carefully selected Leon Kuwata: LN:mulberry field N:lion Kyoko Kirigiri: LN:cut through the fog N:sounding Jin Kirigiri: LN: cut through the fog N:benevolence Toko Fukawa: LN:rotten river N:winter girl Byakuya Togami: LN:ten gods N:white night Aoi Asahina: LN:rising sun N:sunflower Yuta Asahina: LN:rising sun N: distant Sakura Ogami: LN:greater god N:cherry blossom Kiyotaka Ishimaru: LN:stone ball N:clean and noble Mondo/Daiya Owada: LN:round land(Japanese site say so) N: “diamond” in Japanese(daiyamondo) Head is for elder,Daiya Bottom is for younger,Mondo Chihiro Fujisaki: LN:unique flower N:great depth Taiichi Fujisaki: LN:unique flower N:initial Alter ego: N:another me Celesta Ludenburg: LN:I can’t find it sorry N:heavenly Taeko Yasuhiro: LN:safe and sound N:clever girl Hifumi Yamada: LN:field in the mountains N:one two three Yasuhiro Hagakure: LN:hiding N:safe and sound Hiroko Hagakure: LN:hiding N: vastness Mukuro Ikusaba: LN:combat knife N:skeleton Junko Enoshima: LN:sandbar N:shield Ryoko Otonashi: LN:silence N:cool Yasuke Matsuda: LN:pine land N:night Izuru Kamukura: LN:throne of god N:born Hajime Hinata: LN:facing the sun N:beginning Nagito Komaeda: LN:child of komainu(the dog statue in front of the temple) N:calm Comes from “Naegi Makoto da!”(is Makoto Naegi!)

Fun fact: Hajime means beginning (as shown in the video), and Akane while also meaning deep red, can also mean end, this is because Akane was originally supposed to be the "traitor" instead of Chiaki

Mondo is Butter. Idk y I laughed super hard at this

It’s ironic that Celestia’s name means heaven cause she’s goin straight to hell.

Literally Kyoko "mirror" Reflecting Makoto

1:31 kazuichi dose have 1 brain sell so that makes sens-

Aoi: *BLUE* Nagito: luck K1-B0: hope Nagito: HEY I MUST NEED HOPE-

K1-B0 + Kokichi: *exist* Nagito: “oH hOw HoPeFuLl!” *cutely adopts them both*

Junko: commits so many crimes that her whole bloodline would be in prison Also Junko: *pure*

Not Mondo being Butter😭

When Yasuhiro means quiet but he literally never shuts his mouth-

Hiyoko: sun Himiko: daughter of the sun

Hifumi "One Two Three" Ah yes, the parents were very inspired

The fact that Mondo actually turned into butter.. SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER LIKE A CRIMINAL UNDER COVER!!!

Everyone: having alright meanings Mondo: *butter*

*We all know hiyoko would tell us to stick it where the sun dont shine.*

Korekiyo : “Clean” Uhh yeah you werent acting clean in the love hotel 😳

“Hmm I wonder what teruteru’s actual name is!” *randance, carefree, dreamy, teruteru, the fragrance.*

Hiyoko: Sun Himiko: Sun Daughter Me: Wait-

Everyone : Has deepful and meaningful names Mikan : t a n g e r I n e

I like how for Teruteru's image to represent "radiance" is the final boss from Hollow Knight lol (Radiance is the name of the final boss)

Junkos name: Pure Her true nature: U n P u R e

"Celestia means heaven" But she went to hell.

Angie's name fits her so well

So, Hifumi meanings is actually "One two three" in Japanese (Hi, Fu and Mi) and then the creator matches it and it be Hifumi Yamada?

I guess that's why Mondo turned into butter

Junko's name excatly means "pure child" ( "Jun" - pure, "Ko" - child)

“What’s your favorite danganronpa character?” “Blue”

Miu: beautiful feather Also Miu: **the unholiest of words**

"Round Cat", so basically Nekomaru means Garfield. 😂

Love how Aoi’s name litterally means blue.

K1-B0 : Being a normal --person-- robot and having his name mean Hope Nagito : "is this for me??🤭"

Makoto: Truth *we should just be calling truth bullets makoto bullets-*

The fact that Hajime's name means beginning and one time he said when he was (spolier) kamakura he said "this is only the begining"

Kazuichi - 1 Me: Damn, even the creators know he'll never get sonia with that name, one as in single

No one notice the gun to kokichi's head?

Mondo and Mukuro represents there part in the anime lol

1:24 the lion is from dramatical murder lmao im speechless

if Hiyoko is: the Sun and Himiko is: the daughter of the Sun it means that Hiyoko is the mother of Himiko!😶😶

Fun Fact 2:07: In the Japanese version,Angie says 'God' instead of 'Atua'.

kaito: flying over the sea oh no… astronaut in the ocea- WHAT YOU KNOW BOUT ROLLIN DOWN IN THE-

I said "aha" so loud when mondo came up

I love how everyone has such good names like🔥❤ cherry blossoms 🌸✨, autumn 🍂 ✨💅 and then we got hifumi as one two three and kazuichi as one 💀

Yasuhiro is very quiet. In fact,he doesn’t even have any voice lines. He never talks. Let’s face it, you’ve never heard him say a word in Trigger Happy Havoc. Case closed.

Everyone having interesting means Mondo: *BUTTER*

0:06 Celestia: Heaven Her trial: OR HELL?

JUST RELIEZED!!!! Nagito's name means "Luck" Kokichi's name means "Small Luck" . . . *see the connection*

Junko: Pure Yep she is such a cinnamon roll I love her character ❤️

mondo has a reason to be angry all the time

I like on how Mondo is shocked about seeing what his name means. It makes his execution poetic.
