One of the most popular characters of the Danganronpa franchise. He is a young boy who looks to be around 16-18, and is very short with a slim figure. He has purple hair, often allowing people to call him a grape, and wears a white outfit with a checkered scarf, which he is also known for. He calls himself the Ultimate Supreme Leader.
He is basically the living definition of a lie, whereas in the
killing game he tells everyone he enjoys the game and that it is fun, when, in reality, he actually really hates the killing game and wants to end it no matter what. His first interraction that is shown is him following around
K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot, also known as
Kiibo, who
Kokichi calls
Keeboy and constantly asks him if robots have dicks. Kokichi is then introduced by saying that he has an evil secret organization of over 10,000 members (which is later revealed to be a prankster group of only 10 members) and states that he is a liar and he might have been lying about it. Kokichi also often uses the laugh "Nii-shishi" from the original Japanese version of the game, or "Nee-heehee" from the English version.
Kokichi is often shown with an obsession with
Panta, the off-brand version of Fanta used in Danganronpa, because he is shown with a bottle of
grape Panta in his promo art. He is also often shipped with
Shuichi Saihara from the same game, with almost 3/4 of the fandom shipping them.
