Tokosyo

Tokosyo is the friendship between Toko Fukawa and Genocide Jack from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Toko and Genocide Jack are two personalities that live inside the body of Toko Fukawa. Toko is a meek and socially-awkward romance novelist, whereas Genocide Jack is a brash and crass serial killer. They do not share memories with each other, and so when they switch personalities they do not remember what the other was doing. This ends up coming in handy during the Killing School Life, when Genocide Jack retains her memories of the Tragedy. Despite this, they do share a number of emotions with each other. This can be seen in their mutual obsession with Byakuya Togami, friendship with Komaru Naegi, and dislike for Aoi Asahina.

Genocide Jack doesn't seem to have much respect for Toko. She refers to her often as "Miss Morose", and believes that she is fighting against Toko for Byakuya's affections. Toko dislikes Genocide Jack as she cannot control her. She does not want to be blamed for the crimes that Jack commits, and believes that Jack is the reason that she never had any friends growing up. At one point she promises Byakuya that Genocide Jack will not kill again, and is told by the Future Foundation that she can only join them when she controls Genocide Jack. In Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, it is revealed that Toko can control Jack with the use of a taser.

Genocide Jack and Toko share some interactions in the non-canonical games Ultimate Talent Development Plan and Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. However, as they share the same body these interactions are only "shared" in the idea that their personality switches at some point during the interaction with another student.

Fanon
Tokosyo is a relationship that is enjoyed by fans of Toko Fukawa and Genocide Jack. Although they exist in the same body, the two do not share memories. Some fans like to delve into developing a relationship between the two by using some form of communication (video or written) so that the two can share their memories with each other. This allows them to build a rapport with each other, and builds up a dynamic that would otherwise be impossible. Some fans even choose to ship the two romantically with each other, although this is less popular than shipping them as friends. When pairing them romantically, some fans choose to separate them into two different characters, oftentimes twins. Sometimes they are paired together in poly relationships, such as Syotokomaru or Syotogafuka.

There are currently over 20 works for Tokosyo as a friendship, and over 10 works for them as a romantic ship on AO3.
