Wondering who all the Danganronpa V3 characters are? We’re here to help. Danganronpa is one of those wonderfully strange videogame series that everyone in the world should probably try at least once. Taking the visual novel genre in new directions, it’s a bit like Phoenix Wright but sent through some wormhole into a phantom zone where reality is just a little bit less “there”, and darkness subsumes pretty much everything.
Anyway, to dive even deeper into these strange worlds check out our Danganronpa characters, Danganronpa wallpapers, and Danganronpa games guides.
Here you can find all the Danganronpa V3 characters but be warned, spoilers lie ahead.

K1-B0
The Ultimate Robot, K1-B0 is a simple AI-controlled machine with a big love of robot rights – but everything changes later in the game as he begins to ponder deeper philosophical topics, before going crazy. Turns out the series creators planted him there to liven up the show a bit.
Kaede Akamatsu
Kaede Akamatsu is the Ultimate Pianist, so dedicated to the piano that her friends think she’s a freak. She joins the game with the hope of getting everybody out, planning to kill the antagonist of the game, only to accidentally end up killing someone else. She’s hanged, and then everyone finds out she hasn’t killed anyone, it’s just the antagonist framing her.

Maki Harukawa
The Ultimate Caregiver, Maki Harukawa grew up in an orphanage, and that’s why she hates children so much. This goes against her title, but it’s later revealed she is actually the Ultimate Assassin, having left the orphanage to live with a group of assassins. She’s one of the three survivors.
