Naekawa

Naekawa is the het ship between Makoto Naegi and Toko Fukawa from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Makoto and Toko are both character from Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, the first game in the series. The two seem to initially get off on the wrong foot, as in their first conversation together Toko accuses Makoto of thinking that she's ugly. Makoto tries to explain himself, but Toko refuses to hear it. Still, Makoto continues to get to know Toko over their time together trapped in Hope's Peak. He experiences many Free Time Events with her; the most out of any other character if you include the ones he also does with her second personality, Genocide Jack. Toko's bonus mode events are one of the few that are explicitly romantic in nature.

In Chapter 2 of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Toko goes to Makoto's dorm for help with Byakuya Togami. Makoto decides to come along with her to the library, and when Byakuya treats Toko poorly he looks down on the boy for it. Later on in the same chapter, Aoi Asahina starts worrying about Toko when she locks herself up in her dorm and calls Makoto and Byakuya to help her come out. Makoto also starts worrying about Toko after a while and starts asking himself what's wrong with her before continuing on with the investigation. In the Chapter 2 trial, Makoto is shocked to learn that Toko Fukawa is also the serial killer, Genocide Jack.

Makoto finds it difficult to talk to Toko, mostly because of her antisocial nature and the fact that Toko can be very accusatory. Toko has expressed dislike for Makoto, saying she disapproves of him, but sometimes thinks of him as reliable. Makoto and Toko survive the Killing School Life together, and become members of the Future Foundation (although Toko is not an official member). In Ultra Despair Girls, it was shown that Toko warmed up to Makoto after the two left the academy. In this game, Toko becomes incredibly close with Makoto's younger sister, Komaru Naegi.

In the non-canonical Ultimate Talent Development Plan Makoto and Toko share an interaction. Toko is participating in a scavenger hunt and pulls a card that instructs her to find a "best friend". After declaring that her best friend doesn't exist, she decides to grab Makoto. She tells him that he's "better than the rest", even if he isn't a perfect answer to the scavenger hunt. The pair do not share any interactions in Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of their friendly interactions in their Free Time Events. Both Makoto and Toko survived the killing game, which is often a plot point used in works for this ship. Fans think that Makoto would treat Toko well, and like to imagine them in a loving relationship together. However, Naekawa is often overshadowed by other Survivor ships, such as Naegiri and Togafuka. Additionally, Toko's most popular ship is Tokomaru, which is a ship between her and Makoto's younger sister.

Still, the ship has a fair amount of followers, with nearly 75 works on AO3.
