Kokichiro

Kokichiro is the slash ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Kokichi Oma from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Chihiro and Kokichi have never canonically interacted, as they both come from two different entries in the series.

Even though Chihiro can be seen as one of the kindest characters in Danganronpa, he unfortunately had a deep-rooted complex over being looked down on by others as being "weak". This happened due to his experiences from his childhood where he was bullied quite a lot. To make the bullying stop, he started disguising himself as a girl to avoid the pressure of having to become stronger. However, this only made his insecurities even worse. Though he tried to hide it, he still got uncomfortable when others treated him as a girl, and he would rather spend time with other boys instead of girls. Chihiro wishes to be strong so that he can protect others.

Kokichi, on the other hand, is almost completely the opposite. He is very mischievous, and he enjoys playing pranks and teasing others, sometimes in quite mean-spirited ways. He appears to crave attention, as he gets irritated when people talk over him or don't react to his antics in the way he wants them to. He also appears to be arrogant, considering himself a very important part of the class trials and once claiming that they won't turn out well if he isn't given the chance to speak. Due to this kind of behavior, he is viewed as an antagonistic figure among the group, but this doesn’t seem to stop him from being able to manipulate the class trials in any way.

Personality-wise, the two are very different. But, nonetheless, it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t get along.

Fujiouma/Chiouma is a ship that is meant to help both characters mentally and physically, while still having genuine love within the relationship. Kokichi, would help Chihiro physically and mentally, improving his self esteem, and help him get out of his comfort zone and finally be the best version of him. Chihiro, would help Kokichi not be as rude, and show him genuine love, time, and understanding, unlike other ships where most just ignore Ouma or “are done with him”, Chihiro would take time to help Kokichi cool down, or calm down, and show him enough love that he needs.

Fanon
Kokichiro is largely unknown (and thus largely unpopular) in the fandom, due to the two never canonically interacting. Because of the fact that this ship is largely unknown it gets easily overshadowed by the popular ships: Chimondo for Chihiro and Saiouma and Oumota for Kokichi. Nonetheless, it does have some supporters.

The ship sailed mainly due to the characters' contrasting personalities. Fans believe that Chihiro's kindness could rub off on Kokichi, if only by a little, and that Kokichi would be able to teach Chihiro to become less shy and more tough.

They both appear in a fangame called Danganronpa: Redemption where they have interactions with each other. In this fangame they appear to be friends. And because of this game people started to take a liking towards a friendship between the two. The fangame can be found on Instagram (@redemptionronpa) and Youtube.

They also appear in a fangame called Danganronpa: Defiance, which can be found on Instagram (@dangandefiance), and is currently in progress. As the main ship is Saiouma, their relationship is platonic (as is the case with Danganronpa: Redemption, though less noticeably so). Despite this fact, multiple people have joked or guessed that Chihiro's feelings may be of romantic nature. You can see this, as Chihiro canonly blushed towards Kokichi, and continuessly tries to get closer to him.
