Ranmiko is the het ship between Rantaro Amami and Himiko Yumeno from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Although the two never interact directly in-game due to Rantaro's early death, they are both part of Kaito Momota's strategy team meeting in Chapter 1. During Rantaro's body discovery, Himiko is one of the few students who isn't in complete shock. In Chapter 6, during the final investigation, Himiko and Shuichi discover a USB drive in Rantaro's Ultimate lab, hidden away in a safe. The USB includes Rantaro's video message for himself before he lost his memories, explaining that he had been in a killing game before this. After watching the video message Himiko wonders why Rantaro would do something so stupid by joining another killing game.

They mainly interact in Danganronpa V3's Anthology Series in Volume 2, Chapter 7, "Magical Training for Adulthood" by Itagaki Hako. Himiko falls down and a concerned Rantaro goes and helps her by bandaging some of the scrapes on her leg. Himiko tells Rantaro that he's really used to treating injuries like these, and Rantaro replies that it's due to him having a lot of younger sisters. Rantaro also says that Himiko reminds him of his little sisters. In order to repay him, Himiko plays hide and seek with Rantaro. Eventually, Rantaro finds Himiko doing a magic trick in the gym. Rantaro is afraid for Himiko's safety as she's in a much higher place than usual and Rantaro is afraid she might fall from the place. He constantly asks her if she's okay up there. Himiko suddenly starts falling, but luckily Rantaro rescues her in time due to his adventurous skills from his travels.

While the two may not interact much, they do have a number of things in common. They have both survived killing games; Rantaro the 52nd game and Himiko the 53rd. They are also both more on the "chill" side, although Rantaro is much more grounded in reality than Himiko is. They also both lost people very important to them prior to the killing game, with Rantaro losing his sisters and Himiko losing her master. They do not share any direct interactions with each other in the non-canonical Ultimate Talent Development Plan or Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. However, they are both present in a group interaction, when half the cast of v3 have a beach day together.

Fanon
Ranmiko sailed due to Himiko reminding Rantaro of his younger sisters in the anthology series. The ship isn't very popular due to having other major ship rivals like Amamatsu and Tenmiko. A few feel like Himiko and Rantaro would have a little sister and big brother type of bond rather than a romantic one, due to Rantaro being a big brother to his twelve younger sisters as he always takes care of them, and Himiko tends to be childish in the game. This ship has a very small amount of supporters due to other popular rivals.

There are currently 4 works on AO3 for this ship as a romantic pairing, and 13 for this ship as a platonic pairing.
