Akahoshi

Akahoshi is the het ship between Kaede Akamatsu and Ryoma Hoshi from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Both characters take part in the killing game, but they don't have many canon interactions.

They met in the game room on the basement floor of the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, he immediately says that he is only the shell of Ryoma Hoshi, and is not who he used to be, and to not get close to a murderer like him. He empathizes with Kaede's plan to escape with everyone else, saying it isn't a bad idea. After all the students gather after trying to escape the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, Ryoma doesn't blame Kaede for making everyone keep trying. After Rantaro's body was found, Ryoma warned Shuichi and Kaede that without evidence, their testimonies are meaningless, telling them to be careful. Ryoma remained skeptical of Kaede being the culprit until the very end, where there was no doubting it, but he didn't put any of the blame on her, as Kaede was trying to kill the mastermind, not one of the other students. Ryoma was remorseful towards Kaede's death, as he said he couldn't remember the last time he had felt so irritated.

In the non-canon Ultimate Talent Development Plan, he played table tennis against Shuichi and commented that Kaede wasn't there to see Shuichi's victory, which she is embarrassed by.

Fanon
This is a rare pair, despite on AO3 their ship having a total of 1519 results. Many people still like this ship, though, due to Ryoma and Kaede being seemingly understanding of each other.
