Gohiru

Gohiru is the het ship between Mahiru Koirumi and Gonta Gokuhara from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
The two have never interacted in canon, since they are from two separate Danganronpa games. Mahiru being from Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and Gonta from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. Although they never met in the official games, the two shared a friendship event in the board mini-game Ultimate Talent Development Plan featured in the Killing Harmony bonus material that is available after finishing the game.

Gonta is searching for “OOPArts” for Yasuhiro, as he said there might be something “around the academy”. Mahiru tries to convince Gonta that he should stop searching as Gonta “shouldn't take anything Hiro says seriously”. Mahiru noticed that Kokichi also seemed to lie to Gonta recently and mentioned that Gonta is a lot softer than he looks. Mahiru tells Gonta to "get his act together". Gonta replies that he won't become gentlemen if he doesn’t do so.

Her response to that is that Gonta is too nice but that's better than “being a jerk like most boys”. At the end she supports his goal and wants him to set a good example for the other boys and Gonta will try to work hard on it.

Fanon
Gohiru is a cross-game rare pair in the fandom. It's not very popular due being a cross game ship between characters with already very popular ships. Examples would be Soapies for Mahiru or Gontaguuji for Gonta. As for June 2021, The ship only got 2 fan fictions on AO3 [combined with other couples] and 13 posts on Instagram with the Gokuzumi hashtag. Those numbers reflect the small fanbase of this ship very well.

The ship sailed due to the caring nature of both characters. Gonta differs from most males that Mahiru has met due to being kinder and focused on being a gentlemen, something that Mahiru comes to expect from men. Meanwhile, Mahiru's agreement to support Gonta in his goal of becoming a gentleman is a form of care for her character.

Fans could see Gonta changing Mahiru's view on men, as she perceives him as a good example for most men. Mahiru could also help Gonta towards his goal of becoming a gentleman. Additionally, the idea of a photographer helping out an entomologist by taking photos of bugs would make for a cute possible interaction in fanon.
