Kiinami

Kiinami is the het ship between K1-B0 and Chiaki Nanami from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Chiaki and Keebo have never interacted in canon, nor in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan, but they meet in Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. Chiaki wishes to play a game with Kiibo, being curious about his skills, as robot can beat experts in games like chess and shogi. Kiibo responds with enthusiasm. When he exhibits little skill in the game and grows frustrated, Chiaki responds offering to play something else that he might enjoy more. Refusing to be shown up by Monokuma, whom Chiaki had commented was a surprisingly good player, Kiibo asks for one more match. Chiaki encourages him, seeming to admire his dedication and commenting that she's glad that he is enjoying the game. She tells him that she will keep playing with him as long as he wishes.

The two do share some simulates in terms of personality and role. Both are sorta quiet and lost in their own world and want to show that they can be useful. Kiibo because he wants to show that he's not just a robot and Chiaki because she doesn't want to let her sleepiness get in the way of doing her job.

Both are also close with the protagonist. Kiibo is close with Shuichi due to how kind Shuichi is towards him and it he even develops a crush on him in the Love Suite and Salmon Mode. Chiaki helps out Hajime during the trials every now and again and she develops crush on him in Island Mode.

A lot of Kiinami shippers are excited due to the fact that a new Danganronpa Game is coming out and they hope to see the two interact at some point.

Fanon
People started to pick this ship up for both Chiaki and Keebo's dynamic, and the fact they are both A.I's of some sort. Keebo and Chiaki are both hopeful, optimistic and lack understanding of social cues. However, while Kiibo is a little bit on the louder side, and Chiaki tends to stay quieter.

The ship, however, is buried beneath some of the pairings' other, more popular ships. Kiiruma, Kiibouma, Saiibo, and Hinanami, Komanami, Komahinanami, Soniaki, Nanamiki, and Kamunami for Kiibo and Chiaki respectively.

Due to them both being AI's in the game who have some connection towards humanity, (Chiaki because she used to be a human and Kiibo because he wants to be one} a lot of people think that they could bond with each other over how it feels to be an AI.

It's not popular in the rarepair part of the fandom either but it still has some dedicated followers nonetheless.
