Tenkaede

Tenkaede is the femslash ship between Tenko Chabashira and Kaede Akamatsu from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
When Kaede and Tenko first meet, Tenko surprises Kaede by yelling to 'build up her spirit energy', before introducing herself as the Ultimate Aikido Master. Kaede says that Tenko is cute, and Tenko gets flustered, blushing and stuttering. When Shuichi compliments Tenko in the same way, Tenko is immediately disgusted, stating that she doesn't take compliments from men.

Before Kaede's execution, Tenko jumps to Kaede's defense, saying that she will fight the Exisals to protect Kaede, though Kaede soon stops her while crying, accepting her death.

During FTEs, when Kaede gives Tenko a gift she loves, Tenko says that it makes her so happy she starts to blush, and that "only girls understand other girls' delicate hearts!" In their second FTE together, Kaede can compliment Tenko on her smile, Tenko gets flustered and blushes, and Kaede says that she thinks Tenko is really charming. However, Kaede's FTEs with Tenko end at the second one, as Kaede dies shortly after.

Fanon
The ship sailed because of Kaede and Tenko's cute, romantic interactions, with Kaede complimenting her and Tenko getting flustered. Though it is not one of the most popular ships, often being overshadowed by its rival ships Tenmiko and Saimatsu, which are more canon and shown in the story. However, there is some fanart and fanfiction, and the ship has quite a lot of fans.

Their personalities can also be considered quite similar. Both girls are cheerful, optimistic, and energetic. Both Kaede and Tenko being canon sapphic has also helped boost the ship's popularity.
