SHIP NAME HERE is the TYPE (HET/SLASH/FEMSLASH) ship between CHARACTER and CHARACTER from the SERIES NAME fandom.

Relationship
Though Touko Fukawa and Kyouko Kirigiri do not have much interaction with one another, a ship has been born betwixt the two of them in a universe where Byakuya Togami and Makoto Naegi would perhaps be a thing.

Though not much art or fanfiction exists for this coupling, it would be a possible pair, even if it's a "crack" pairing, considering that they both were a part of Class 78 and their killing game; the two were, as well, survivors of said killing game. The two, background and history wise have things in common and that foundation would make for a greater understanding of the other person in the relationship.

Understand that this pairing is nowhere near canon, and it definitely isn't popular in any way, shape, or form, and as such it is meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

Character and Friendship
In the game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Touko Fukawa and Kyouko Kirigiri hardly have an opinion of one another. They do not much interact, save for a few lines exchanged during the class trials.

Apart from being a part of the same class 78 of Hope's Peak Academy, a part of the killing game, survivors of said killing game, as well as members of Future Foundation, the two do not have much of a basis to form a relationship on. That isn't to say that there isn't one though.

Canonically, Touko and Kyouko should be considered friends, as both girls made it out of the Despair High School alive and over the course of that time learned a great deal about one another. Their lives are precious to each other only in the way that, the other would be deeply saddened and put into grieving were that life to be lost.

Speaking non-canonically, however, the possibility for a relationship would be there, were the two only to up their interaction. As aforementioned above, this ship is to be taken with a grain of salt, and respected, as all ships hold merit in the eye of the beholder. People will see what they see, and it is best to allow them to express themselves.

Basis for the Relationship
Touko Fukawa comes from a broken home and a reprehensible family life. Growing up with two mothers and a father, whom only served to abuse and mistreat her, it was clear she was fated to face hardship very early on. The stress did not stop there, as whenever the young Touko would venture to school she'd also be met with bullying. This great amount of distress is what eventually caused the split in Touko's mind, and the formation of another personality who had come to be known as "Genocide Jack". Touko suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder due to the effects of irreversible and unhinged trauma to her mind.

Though Jack is a known serial killer, she is rather controlled, in all the due respects. Genocide Jack may wish to kill but if it were against her Master's wishes, she would not. The same would apply to killing women as it seems she only has an affinity for killing men. Considering Jack tame in personality, and that Touko has indeed tamed her and mastered the once issue of having another personality, she would indeed have a handle on her life and her relationships. (And the trope of the detective and the serial killer becoming romantically involved is always a plus.)

Touko has scars on her leg left there from Jack as a sort of tally, a way to keep track of just how many victims she has killed. There are rows of tallies on one of her thighs. Each tally represents 5 victims.

Kyouko Kirigiri also comes from a not-so-happy family life. Though she was seemingly not mistreated or abused, her mother died early on in her life, her father left her family to pursue his dreams and aspirations, which were different from the rest, and her grandfather was left to care for her. It isn't a mystery to say that a lot of death and darkness surround the Kirigiri name.

Coming from a long line of detectives, Kyouko only ever desired to be one herself one day. Her grandfather, Fuhito Kirigiri, taught her everything she needed to know in order to become one in the future. She gained her own experience and went on to become a certified detective, and for that of the homicide department, not long after she had learned from grandfather about the field. However, missing her mother was a certain stressor had to learn to deal with and move forward from.

Wanting to attend Hope's Peak Academy simply to meet with her father again and tell him that he was no help at all in making her the person she was today and that she never had considered them family, she was saddened, a bit, to arrive at the conclusion that she wouldn't get that chance. Jin Kirigiri, Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy once, and Kyouko's father, was killed and found in bone form inside a box somewhere in the school by Kyouko and Makoto themselves.

Kyouko is a skilled detective, and even more skilled at keeping her feelings in check. Though she has neither parent any longer, she does have the friends she has made from surviving the killing game. This kind of understanding of people, as well as their emotions and what drives them, is what would make her a good candidate for a relationship with Touko.

In addition, Kyouko also has scars on her body as well. Covering them with black gloves, she has charred hands, scars from what she explains to be an amateur mistake when she was first becoming a detective. She doesn't wish for anyone to see these scars, and hides them for that express purpose with her gloves.

Considering that both candidates have a tragic past (with much more detail than what has been written here), and troubles with their families, as well as insecurities about their bodies, if it does not found the very basis for a friendship (which is canon, they are friends), it could potentially be a relationship, if only the two interacted in a much more frequent way.
