Shinouma

Shinouma is the slash ship between Korekiyo Shinguji and Kokichi Ouma from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
They have scarce, though usually rather entertaining interactions, mostly concentrated throughout Chapter 3 - Transfer Student From Beyond The Grave of the game New Danganronpa V3.

There is a bonus scene in Chapter 2 where Kokichi and Korekiyo, as well as some of their classmates go to the casino. There is also a scene where Kokichi prodded around Korekiyo's Ultimate Talent Research Lab only to warrant Korekiyo's anger, prompting Kokichi to put on his pitifully-crying facade. Korekiyo actually threatens to tear out his nerves, which appears to unsettle Kokichi a bit.

Later on in chapter 3, after a body discovery announcement played, Korekiyo suggested a seance to speak with the victim and figure out the truth from there. While the others started out repulsed to the idea, being creeped out, Kokichi was the first to volunteer participation in the seance. Kokichi, along with Shuichi, Himiko perform the seance with Korekiyo leading it. Although, Kokichi was unaware of Korekiyo's motives.

In Ultimate Talent Development Plan, Kokichi has an interaction with Korekiyo. Kokichi goes to a haunted house, but he has a problem with the reception desk, which was being manned by Korekiyo. Kokichi says that the receptionist sets the mood of the haunted house, but Korekiyo was too scary. Korekiyo says that to set the right mood, he's been telling different scary stories, and Kokichi is upset that he didn't get that service. Korekiyo says his stories would have been wasted on Kokichi, and Kokichi becomes disappointed.

Fanon
Even though Kokichi and Korekiyo are from the same game, the ship is considered a rarepair in the Danganronpa fandom. A reason people ship Shinouma is because of their heights. Kokichi is 156cm, while Korekiyo is 188cm, creating a 32cm height difference between the two, which can be a very cute dynamic. Their personalities may compliment each other as well. Kokichi is mischevious and somewhat childish while Korekiyo is mysterious and is mature in comparison.

People think that they would get along well because Kokichi does not like boring people, and Korekiyo is anything but, himself or what he's talking about always being interesting. Similarity, as an anthropologist, Korekiyo would find himself curious about Kokichi and want to know more about him like why he lies so often. Some believe that Korekiyo would find Kokichi quite beautiful, both inside and out.

Shinouma is not as common of a ship in the fandom. As a result, it has many rival ships more popular than it, including Oumasai, Amaguji and Oumota. On AO3, Shinouma is Korekiyo's 8th or 9th most popular ship.
