Shiromada

Shiromada is the het ship between Tsumugi Shirogane and Hifumi Yamada from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Tsumugi and Hifumi haven't interacted in the series, although they've had only one interaction in Danganronpa V3's bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan events, which are not canon to the series or main games.

In said event, Hifumi tells Tsumugi that the two most powerful ultimates have finally gathered together. Tsumugi responds by saying that she'd seen him at many cons before, and that his booth was always next to the wall and that there was always a long line, making him easy to find. Hifumi takes interest in the fact that Tsumugi goes to cons too. Tsumugi tells him that she cosplays at her friend's booths to help them sell their fanfics. Tsumugi then acknowledges where the conversation will be going, and says that Hifumi will ask her to be the cosplayer at his booth. Hifumi appears very shocked, as he was just beginning to answer that question. He then goes along with it and asks Tsumugi if they could work together, combining their fanbases with each other. Tsumugi agrees that the two of them would be a very powerful duo. However, she declines saying that two ultimates together would stand out too much, people would consider it a stunt, and the most important thing for a cosplayer is to dress as characters you love. Hifumi agrees, and mentions that even in fanfiction they have to treat their source material with love, and asks her once again if she'd be the cosplay girl at his booth, making Tsumugi decline.

The two also have another event in Ultimate Talent Development Plan mode, Tsumugi says Hifumi looks pale, and asks if he’s losing sleep, and Hifumi says she’s correct. Tsumugi then gives him advice, and Hifumi says he appreciates it. He then also says he’ll start working on his new project after sleeping, and Tsumugi replies calling that ambitious. However, Hifumi says he doesn’t have time, and says he’s planning to work on original works. This catches Tsumugi's attention, and she calls that amazing, wanting to read it when it’s done.

The similarities between the two include both of their ultimates relating to a different variation of any fan content-related talent, such as a fanfiction creator and a cosplayer. However, Tsumugi's interest in franchises of any sort is portrayed differently as she is revealed to be the mastermind of Danganronpa V3, telling the remaining students that Danganronpa is all fictional and that people from the 'real world' were watching them as if they were in a reality show, linking back to the game's main theme being truth and lies.

In one of their events together in Danganronpa S, Hifumi says he’s productive in a restaurant setting, and Tsumugi says even Otaku watch their health, unlike him. Hifumi then states he’s lost weight asking if she can even tell, also telling her to think nothing of it. Hifumi says he’s limited himself to one bag of potato chips every day, and Tsumugi says it’s still too much, asking how he’s going to see sequels and remakes of Anime. Also saying he has to push himself harder for his fans, and Hifumi says he knows that. She says as a otaku, she knows which buttons to press, and Hifumi says he’ll limit himself to a bag of chips every three days.

Fanon
Shiromada sailed as a result as a result of Tsumugi and Hifumi both taking lots of interest in fan-content, and them both being the 'weeb' of the cast in their main games, making the ship well known as they're from different games, as some have questioned what would happen if the two were to meet in canon. Rival ships include Kaemugi, Shironaga, Yamaceles, and Chifumi.

This ship is quite less known and unpopular most of the reason fans of the pair this is because both of them have the same interests (Anime and Manga), to add on both of them say a lot of anime references suggesting there both Weebs. Which is the reason one of the ship name for these two is "Weebies". Fans of the pair perceive this ship as "cute" even people who may not ship this find this cute.
