Mahiru Koizumi is a character from the Danganronpa fandom.

Character
Mahiru Koizumi is one of the students featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. A student of Hope's Peak Academy, Mahiru is called the Ultimate Photographer and is a participant in the Killing School Trip.

In Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy, Mahiru is still the Ultimate Photographer, enrolled in Class 77-B along with her other classmates at Hope's Peak Academy.

She, along with her classmates, were brainwashed by Junko Enoshima into becoming her Ultimate Despair. Following the fall of Hope's Peak and the beginning of The Tragedy, Koizumi joined the rest of the Ultimate Despair in spreading chaos across the ruined world. She was eventually apprehended by the Future Foundation and put into the Neo World Program for rehabilitation.

During the events of the Killing School Trip, Mahiru was presented with the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case motive. In the second chapter of the game, she attempted to address the motive with the real-life counterparts to the video game presented by Monokuma. Unfortunately, however, during her confrontation of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, Mahiru was bludgeoned to death by his bodyguard, Peko Pekoyama.

Mahiru later awakens with the rest of her classmates and helps them stop Ryota Mitarai from using the Hope Video to brainwash the world. With the other awakened Remnants of Despair, Mahiru chooses to atone for her sins as a despair.

Trivia

 * Her last name literally translates to “little fountain”, while her first name means “midday”, or “broad daylight”.
 * Mahiru shares the same birthday with Aoi Asahina from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
 * Mahiru does not enjoy taking selfies because she finds them extremely embarrassing.
 * Similar to the victim in the second chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Mahiru was killed instantly via blunt force trauma to the head.
 * In Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc it's revealed that Mahiru and Sato had gone to the same middle school prior to attending Hope's Peak Academy, Mahiru appeared to have no memory of her friend while in the Neo World Program. Because of this, it is possible that all of Mahiru's memories of Sato were erased for unknown reasons.
 * Kodaka revealed that Mahiru would be a good protagonist of a Danganronpa 3 spinoff due to her serious personality. She would probably think about how she and the former members of Ultimate Despair have to carry their sin.
