Naekawa

Naekawa is the het ship between Makoto Naegi and Toko Fukawa from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Makoto finds it difficult to talk to Toko, mostly because of her antisocial nature and the fact that Toko can be very accusatory. Toko has expressed dislike for Makoto, saying she disapproves of him, but sometimes thinks of him as reliable. Makoto and Toko survive the Killing School Life together, and become members of the Future Foundation (although Toko is not an official member). In Ultra Despair Girls, it was shown that Toko warmed up to Makoto after the two left the academy.

In chapter 2 of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Toko goes to Makoto's dorm for help with Byakuya, and Makoto decides to come along with her at the library. Later on in the same chapter, Aoi Asahina starts worrying for Toko when she locks herself up in her dorm and calls Makoto and Byakuya Togami to help her come out. Makoto also starts worrying for Toko after a while and starts asking himself what's wrong with her before continuing on with the investigation.

Toko's bonus mode events are one of the few that are explicitly romantic.

In Ultimate Talent Development Plan during the summer sports festival, if the player chooses "I always want to pull the card on the right..." as Toko Fukawa, she will say that the best card was "Best Friend" but that she couldn't get something that doesn't "exist" but afterwards she'll ask Makoto to come along with her since he wasn't a perfect match but better than everyone else, he'll hesitate for a moment since he was doing scavenger hunt too, but in the end Toko forced Makoto to run with her to reach the goal.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of their friendly interactions in their Free Time Events. Both Makoto and Toko survived the killing game, which is often a plot point used in works for this ship. Fans think that Makoto would treat Toko well, and like to imagine them in a loving relationship together. However, Naekawa is often overshadowed by other Survivor ships, such as Naegiri and Togafuka. Additionally, Toko's most popular ship is Tokomaru, which is a ship between her and Makoto's younger sister.

Still, the ship has a fair amount of followers, with nearly 75 works on AO3.
