Band Practice
 Band Practice is the het ship between Hajime Hinata and Ibuki Mioda.

Canon
Ibuki and Hajime seem to be good friends, and they bond during club activities that Ibuki comes up with during her Free Time Events. Also during her Free Time Events, Ibuki has been trying to help Hajime remember his talent. She insists that it should've been obvious what she was trying to do, but Hajime claims that he didn't even realize it, and was touched that she was trying to help him.

Ibuki often pokes fun at Hajime, saying that he has developed a crush on her or that he is sometimes looking for an excuse to be alone with her. Ibuki also gave Hajime some advice that even when people are constantly changing, either physically or otherwise, that they are always going to be their true selves and she made Hajime promise her that he will never give up on trying to find out his true self. In Hajime's official relationship chart, Ibuki states she wants him to be the drummer in her band and insists that the two are in a band, even teaching him lessons. However, according to Hajime, she only taught him how to use a loudspeaker. Hajime also said that, "When I was with her, all of my pain and suffering just seemed to melt away," referring to Ibuki.

Fanon
The ship sailed due Hajime's and Ibuki's friendly interactions with each other, Ibuki being implied to be romantic interested in Hajime in her Free Time Events and Island Mode helped. Many artworks feature both Ibuki and Hajime playing music together, the idea mostly comes from Ibuki wanting Hajime as her drummer, which she states in her official relationship chart. In fanfictions, Ibuki often helps Hajime remembering his talent, and in the time she helps him, Hajime and Ibuki fall in love with each other. Additionally, the ship also sailed because of the trope, which the ship falls perfectly into.

The ship isn't very popular because of the fact that there are other popular ships were this one gets overshadowed by, like Band Aid, Komahina, and Hinanami. Many people either see it as a friendship rather than as a romantic pairing. However, it still does have a small amount of supporters.

 Celeszuru is the het ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Izuru Kamukura.

Canon

Fanon

Chabataka
 Chabataka is the het ship between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Tenko Chabashira.

Canon
Due to the fact that they are in different games, there are essentially zero interactions between them. However, they do have one interaction in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus mode. In it, Tenko keeps watch at the school festival's entrance, and encounters Kiyotaka. Tenko confronts him about having ulterior motives, which Kiyotaka denies, citing his membership of the public morals committee. Tenko begins to get flustered, and states that she believes he doesn't have any poor motives, but also refuses to accept him because he is male. Kiyotaka breaks down and cries about how it is impossible for him to change that. When Tenko suggests he work to become a girl instead, Kiyotaka breaks down even further.

Both characters have very strict moral codes imposed on them from someone they look up to. For Kiyotaka, it is his motivation to restore his family's name after his grandfather's scandal, sacrificing hobbies in his pursuit of redemption. Tenko meanwhile has no such tragedy, instead taking her aikido master's joke about hating men too seriously, and building her life around it. Even though Tenko is very much a misandrist at surface level, she is willing to accept men as good people, as shown with how she treats Shuichi Saihara in game. She promotes expressionism, which parallels Kiyotaka's belief in effort.

Fanon
Admittedly, due to several factors, such as Tenko's distrust in men, and the fact that they are in different games, this is not widely shipped. This ship is controversial due to both characters being commonly read as "gay-coded", with two other ships, Ishimondo and Tenmiko, remaining much more popular. People who do ship this believe that Kiyotaka's rule-abiding nature could shift Tenko's misandristic view of men, and possibly allow them to become good friends or more.

Chibuki
 Chibuki is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Ibuki Mioda.

Canon
Chihiro and Ibuki have never met. The only thing that they have in common is that both were victims. They are very opposite because Chihiro is very quiet and shy while Ibuki is very lousy and outgoing.

Fanon
Chibuki is a huge rarepair, overshadowed by their respective ships with Mondo and Mikan.

Chihina
 Chihina is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Aoi Asahina.

Canon
Chihiro is first seen by Makoto when he entered the main hall. When attempting to ask if they're all new students, Chihiro agreed. Aoi Asahina suggested they all introduce themselves, and when Chihiro did so, he admitted he found it embarrassing. Chihiro seemed to recognize Makoto and asked if they had met before, but Makoto denied it. Chihiro apologized because he assumed Makoto was upset with him, but Makoto reassured him that he wasn't. In order to become stronger, Chihiro said he would start working out. Sakura Ogami and Aoi asked him to go to the gym room to work out together. However, Chihiro declined their invitation in fear of having his secret revealed. He also brought the broken laptop that the group found in the library with him. After the deaths of Chihiro and Mondo, Aoi's mental health began to decline, crying alone in her room and falling into a depression. She decided to go to the Cafeteria in search of donuts to soothe herself, but on the way there she heard strange sounds coming from the changing room near the bathhouse. Cautiously investigating the noise, she approached one of the changing room lockers, where she saw a ghostly green image of what appeared to be the recently deceased Chihiro. In fear, she screamed and fled back to her room.

Chimiu
 Chimiu is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Miu Iruma.

Canon
While Chihiro and Miu have never interacted in the main Danganronpa canon, due to them being from different games that take place at different times, in Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, it is stated that they, along with Kazuichi Soda, Yasuke Matsuda, Miaya Gekkogahara, and several unnamed upperclassmen and staff at Hope's Peak Academy helped contribute to making the virtual world the game takes place in a reality. Notably, Chihiro and Miu are the only 2 characters known to have been responsible for programming said world's layout.

Although the characters, disappointingly, don't share a single event together, during the game's prologue, Kazuichi tells Chihiro that if something is ever on his mind, he can come to either him or Miu about it, to which Chihiro replies he will remember to do in the future. Additionally, during an event with Kazuichi and Hiroko Hagakure, Chihiro mentions to the former that Miu is a better person to ask questions regarding hardware to than he; Kazuichi promptly hushes him at this point, not wanting their parents to start hearing “rumors.”

Despite quite a lot of clashing personality traits -Chihiro being very timid and soft-spoken, and Miu being very foul-mouthed and rude to others — the 2 have quite a lot in common, their similar ultimate talents resulting in similar interests being the most obvious example. Both characters also relate to feelings of insecurity and hiding their true selves, Chihiro due to his weakness complex and Miu due to her fear of abandonment, among other things.

Fanon
The most notable fanfiction featuring the 2 as a couple by far is Crit Fail's A New Hope, which tells the story of a killing game featuring the casts of all 3 mainline games. Throughout the fic, the two try to better themselves in a variety of ways for each other, with Miu trying to be a generally better, less unpleasant person for Chihiro, and Chihiro trying to become stronger and more reliable for Miu. This dynamic is a huge part of why those who like the ship enjoy it, believing the 2 could "fix" a variety of each other's flaws without ruining their good traits.

Chimiu is very much considered a crackship within the Danganronpa community, with many believing a relationship between the characters could never work due to their surface-level differences. However, the ship still has its fans, many of which having read A New Hope.

Ikuwada
 Ikuwada is the het ship between Mukuro Ikusaba and Mondo Owada.

Canon
Although the two never interacted in the game due to Mukuro being disguised as Junko Enoshima, as well as for her early death in game. The two share some similarities, they're both known to be fighters as Mondo shows a delinquent type of persona, meanwhile Mukuro is the Ultimate Soldier. It's unknown if the two interacted during the duration of two years of memory loss, but their desks were right next to each other. The two also sit next to each other at the dining table and are the only ones in the game who've used violence against Monokuma except Mondo doesn't get killed for breaking the rules and Mukuro does.

In Danganronpa: The Animation afterwards of Sayaka Maizono's murder, Mukuro is killed by Monokuma (who Junko operates) and Mondo is shown in distraught as she's stabbed by spears due to not following school regulations as she assaulted the headmaster. Mondo is shown placing his long overcoat over Mukuro's dead body afterwards, showing his respect towards her even being dead.

During Chapter 5 in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF storyline, Mukuro is saved by Mondo on a motorcycle Junko used for Mondo's execution in game. Junko is described as trying to injure her sister with the motorcycle, but luckily Mondo was on the motorcycle. Junko tries to make Mondo turn against Mukuro but he refuses. He states he can't let a girl get hurt, afterwards Mondo pulls Mukuro on the motorcycle in order to flee from the stampede of Monokumas.

They don't share a lot of similarities but what they have in common is that both have a family (with Mondo having his brother Daiya Owada and Mukuro having her young twin sister Junko Enoshima) that they killed or the family itself had killed them; with Mondo thinking that he killed his brother and in Mukuro's case her own young twin sister killed her while controlling Monokuma as result of Mukuro breaking the school rules. Furthermore, the person itself died later with Mondo being executed for killing Chihiro Fujisaki and Junko dying by her own execution after being found out as the mastermind by Makoto Naegi along with his other companions.

Fanon
The ship isn't very popular due to having much more popular rivals like Ishimondo and Naekusaba. Although the ship has a very small amount of supporters the amount of fan fictions on AO3 is very minimum and only has around eight stories at this time. Some of the ship's attention came from Mondo putting his coat over Mukuro's body in the anime.

FAN FICTION

Irumota
 Irumota is the het ship between Miu Iruma and Kaito Momota.

Canon
Kaito and Miu have only had a few interactions in canon. They occasionally argue with each other during trials due to them both having extremely strong opinions about matters. As a result, they insult each other very often in Class Trials and other interactions.

In Chapter 4, Miu's original plan was to frame Kaito for her murder of Kokichi Oma. However, Kaito is shocked by Miu's death during the killing game, and is one of the few members of the class who doesn't disrespect her in some way after her death. He also told off anyone disrespecting her death during the investigation and such. As such, Kaito still sees Miu as a good person, even after her negative relationship with him when she was still alive.

Personality-wise, neither are very different from each other. They are both very rowdy, and are constantly yelling at people. They are both very extroverted, interacting with their classmates very often. Since they tend to hold very strong opinions, they get into arguments with others often, especially with each other.

Fanon
Kaito and Miu are mostly shipped together due to their similarly strong personalities, as well as their interests in scientific fields. Both go by a notable title that they refer to themselves regularly, with Miu calling herself the "gorgeous girl genius", and Kaito calling himself the "luminary of the stars". They are both loud and somewhat vulgar, and are often dismissed as not being very smart, despite both being skilled in fields that require a lot of intelligence. They also both have rivalries of some sort with Kokichi Oma. The reason these two are less popular is likely due to the popularity of other ships, such as Harukaito and Saimota, as well as Kiiruma, Irumatsu, and Irouma.

Nishichino
 Nishichino is the het ship between Kiriko Nishizawa and Sōsuke Ichino.

Canon
At one point during the Student Council's killing game, Kiriko approached Sōsuke with a shovel, shouting she's going to kill him. In a heat moment of self-defense, Sōsuke is forced to kill her with a spear. He then begins to cry after what he's done, saying that he loved her. The circumstance makes it seem that Kiriko wasn't aware of Sōsuke's feelings for her before the game.

It is likely that having just killed his crush triggered Sōsuke to kill Tarō Kurosaki and Tsubasa Kamii seconds after.

Quotes
"Why?! I loved you!"

- Sōsuke after killing Kiriko in self-defense in the subbed version of episode 7 of Despair Arc.

"Why did you make me do that?! I loved you! More than anything!"

- Sōsuke after killing Kiriko in self-defense in the dubbed version of episode 7 of Despair Arc.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Sosuke's canon attraction to Kiriko. It isn't that well known due to appearing on screen only for a couple of seconds, thus making it very forgettable. The fact that Sōsuke ended up killing Kiriko (albeit in self-defense) didn't help to increase the popularity of this ship either. The fact that, much like in Leosaya's case, the girl was also going to kill the boy before she failed also didn't help to endear the fans.

Nonetheless, it's the most popular shipping choice for both characters included. However, that's because both are extremely minor characters within the story, which results in them being rarely shipped. The fact that they die early after their debut on-screen also contributes to them being rarely shipped with each other or anyone at all, just like for every other Student Council member.

As a result of being a ship between two extremely minor characters, it doesn't get many fan fictions or fan arts dedicated to it. When it does, it's usually portrayed as a one-sided attraction with dynamics comparable to that of Leosaya or Sounia. Rarely, Kiriko is shown to return Sosuke's feelings.

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

Canon
Makoto finds it difficult to talk to Toko, mostly because of her antisocial nature and the fact that Toko can be very accusative. 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 chapter 2 of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Toko goes to Makoto's dorm for help with Byakuya, and Makoto decides to come along with her at the library. Later on in the same chapter, Aoi Asahina starts worrying for Toko when she locks herself up in her dorm and calls Makoto and Byakuya Togami to help her come out. Makoto also starts worrying for Toko after a while and starts asking himself what's wrong with her before continuing on with the investigation.

Toko's bonus mode events are one of the few that are explicitly romantic.

In Ultimate Talent Development Plan during the summer sports festival, if the player chooses "I always want to pull the card on the right..." as Toko Fukawa, she will say that the best card was "Best Friend" but that she couldn't get something that doesn't "exist" but afterwards she'll ask Makoto to come along with her since he wasn't a perfect match but better than everyone else, he'll hesitate for a moment since he was doing scavenger hunt too, but in the end Toko forced Makoto to run with her to reach the goal.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of their friendly interactions in their Free Time Events. Both surviving the killing game has also helped. Nevertheless, the ship itself has some rivals in common that overshadows the ship such as Naegiri, Naezono,Togafuka, Tokomaru and Naegami.

Owahina
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Owahina is the het ship between Mondo Owada and Aoi Asahina.

Canon
Mondo and Aoi don't have too many interactions, due to Mondo's fairly early death, but they do stand next to eachother a lot for the times that they he is alive. The two were both classmates together at Hope's Peak Academy. Mondo has expressed to Makoto how he has trouble getting girlfriends and Aoi has expressed that she has trouble getting boyfriends.

Fanon
Owahina mostly sailed because the two stand next to eachother during the class trials. Besides that, the fact that both of them have relationship troubles makes them an easy pairing.

Trivia

 * The two characters stand next to each other during the class trials.
 * In two different alternate endings, both characters escape together.

Ranmiko
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Ranmiko is the het ship between Rantaro Amami and Himiko Yumeno.

Canon
Although the two never interacted in-game due to Rantaro's early death, they both were part of Kaito Momota's strategy team meeting. During Rantaro's body discovery she was one of the very few students who weren't in complete shock. But in Chapter 6, during the final investigation, Himiko and Shuichi discover a USB drive in Rantaro's Ultimate lab that was hidden away in a safe which included Rantaro's video message for himself before he lost his memories, afterwards watching the video message Himiko wonders why Rantaro would do something so stupid (join another killing game and survive).

They mainly interacted in Danganronpa V3's Anthology Series in Volume 2, Chapter 7, "Magical Training for Adulthood" by Itagaki Hako, as where Himiko falls down and a concerned Rantaro goes and helps her by bandaging some of the scrapes on her leg due to falling. Himiko tells Rantaro that he's really used to treating injuries like these and Rantaro answers back due to him having a lot of younger sisters, also Rantaro answers that Himiko reminds her of his little sisters. In order to repay Himiko plays hide and seek with Rantaro. Eventually Rantaro finds Himiko doing a magic trick in the gym. Worried, Rantaro is afraid for Himiko's safety as she's in a much higher place than usual and Rantaro is afraid she might fall from the place and constantly asks her if she's okay at a higher place. Himiko suddenly starts falling, but luckily Rantaro rescues her in time due to his adventurous skills from his travels.

Fanon
The ship sailed due to Himiko being reminded as Rantaro's younger sisters in the anthology series. The ship isn't very popular due to having other major ship rivals like Amamatsu and Tenmiko, but a few feel like that Himiko and Rantaro would have a little sister and big brother type of bond instead rather than a romantic one due to Rantaro being a big brother to his twelve younger sisters as he always takes care of them also since Himiko tends to be childish in the game. This ship has a very small amount of supporters due to other popular rivals.

Some similarities they share are both losing the people they loved so suddenly before the killing game started, Rantaro was somehow losing all twelve of his sisters all around the world meanwhile Himiko's was losing her master. However, it's unknown if their respective important people truly exist due to this being a fabricated past caused by the mastermind.

Saigiri
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Saigiri is the het ship between Kyoko Kirigiri and Shuichi Saihara.

Canon
Shuichi and Kyoko have no interactions in canon. They are both Ultimate Detectives and are the implied love interests for the main characters of their games. Their only direct interactions remain in the non-canon mode Talent Development Plan in New Danganronpa V3, where they both go to Hope's Peak Academy at the same time with Kyoko presumably being Shuichi's upperclassman.

Quotes
"I apologize for having such a negative attitude earlier. Thank you for encouraging me."

- Shuichi to Kyoko in the Ultimate Talent Develpoment Plan.

"I thought *I* was young to start working as a detective... You're incredible, Kirigiri-san."

- Shuichi to Kyoko in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan.

Fanon
With both Kyoko and Shuichi never interacting in the main plot, and just having one event in the Ultimate Talent Develpoment Plan, the ship is a rare-pair within the Danganronpa fandom and doesn't have a big fanbase. The two are mostly shipped together because both Shuichi and Kyoko are known as Ultimate Detective in their respective games. Another reason Saigiri is shipped is because Kyoko is very confident in herself, while Shuichi isn't very self-confident, which led to some people headcanoning that Kyoko would help Shuichi with his self-confidence problems, which also is a popular theme in fanfictions about the two.

The Danganronpa fandom jokes about Shuichi being Makoto and Kyoko's child. Although this is non-canon and most likely impossible to be true, some people still believe it's a true theory and are critical against the ship. Despite the ship being such a minor one, there is quite a bit of fanart including Kyoko and Shuichi, mostly Kyoko and Shuichi are seen to solve a case together, or sometimes they are drawn with the other protagonists and implied love interests of the other Danganronpa games.

Both Kyoko and Shuichi have much more popular ships, for Kyoko it's her ships with Celestia and Makoto while Shuichi has more popular ships with Kaede and Kokichi. These ships highly overshadow Saigiri and contributed to the ship becoming nonexistent within the Danganronpa fandom. However, some people see the ship has potential due to their matching talents and fairly different personalities (Shuichi being a meek amateur detective in comparison to the cool-headed, more experienced Kyoko). On AO3, the ship currently has 14+ romantic works and 42+ gen works.

Trivia

 * Both of them have a body part that they try their best to hide. In the first chapter of V3, Shuichi wears a hat to hide his eyes after a previous case made him hesitant to look people in the eyes, and Kyoko wears gloves to hide her scarred hands.

Saimeno
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Saimeno is the het ship between Shuichi Saihara and Himiko Yumeno.

Canon
Shuichi and Himiko are the two of three final survivors in the killing game from Danganronpa V3 (the third being Maki Harukawa). They seem to be friends, as they're supporting and are nice to each other, although they were never shown to interact in the romantic way, so their relationship is canonically platonic.

Despite being fellow survivors of the Killing School Semester, the two rarely interact in the main story. This is because Shuichi mostly hangs out with Kaede, Kaito, and Maki, whereas Himiko mostly hangs out with Angie and Tenko. In Chapter 4, Himiko, along with everyone else, mistakes Shuichi for a masochist due to taking orders from Kaito, and a loner while he was investigating the maps. However, much like everyone else, she knows she can rely on Shuichi at the Class Trials, which she expresses before the trial of the same chapter. In the last chapter, the two work together, along with K1-B0, Maki, and initially Tsumugi, to end the killing game. In the Epilogue, Shuichi helps Himiko get out of debris left after the academy's destruction.

In their Free Time Events, the two mostly talk about magic, with Himiko constantly telling Shuichi that her magic is real. Shuichi comforts Himiko about the disappearance of her mentor, telling her that after his failure he went to train his magic tricks in order to be able to perform with her again.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of some fans wanting to pair the surviving characters together, especially since there were so few of them this time. Both going through the loss of someone important to them has also helped. However, with Saimaki sharing the same traits and having more friendly interactions together, this one is less popular than the former. Sometimes they're shipped together as the Surviving Trio.

However, this ship still loses in popularity to both characters' main ships, such as Saimatsu or Tenmiko. The primary reason, aside from the limited number of interactions between the two, appears to be Himiko's lolita design, which makes some fans uncomfortable to ship the two together despite them being the same age.

Serial Dating
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Serial Dating is the het ship between Sonia Nevermind and Korekiyo Shinguji.

Canon
Though the two never meet in the canon of the Danganronpa franchise, there are a few things that correlate between these two. Both Sonia and Korekiyo show avid interest in other people, Sonia for the sake of growing accustomed to other cultures, and Korekiyo for his pursuits in anthropology.

Furthermore, Sonia seems to have an avid interest in serial killers, going so far as to share her knowledge of Genocide Jack and Sparkling Justice during the second chapter of Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, much to the confusion of others. During the third chapter of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, it is revealed that Korekiyo himself is a serial killer who murders others in order to send friends to his departed sister.

During Ultimate Talent Development Plan, the two have an interaction while Korekiyo runs the Haunted House event. In the option labeled, 'I did not expect to find royalty here,' Sonia approaches Korekiyo and expresses that she intends to make two laps around the school's premises. Korekiyo compliments her enthusiasm, asking if attending festivals is rare for someone of her status. Sonia admits that she prefers to attend such events as a student, for she only attends academies for business purposes back in her country. She elaborates further about having to cut 'the largest skong' to begin the annual festivals, to which Korekiyo expresses an interest in this tradition, as well as a desire to visit her country.

Fanon
This ship sailed due to the similarities and correlations existing between Sonia and Korekiyo. Sonia's admiration of serial killers as well as her existence as a foreign person of power are believed by some to be qualities that would draw them towards each other.

Often overshadowed by Korekiyo's canon interest in his sister, as well as Sonia's love triangle, it is believed by some that under the pretext of a universe like Ultimate Talent Development Plan in which the two attend the same school and exist within the same universe, they could have become close.

Tenkouma
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Tenkouma is the het ship between Tenko Chabashira and Kokichi Ouma.

Canon
Unsurprisingly, Tenko strongly dislikes Kokichi, who has many traits she considers typical "degenerate male" behavior, most notably lying. She tends to refer to him as a "little degenerate" in a mocking manner. Kokichi does not seem to interact with Tenko much. This is possibly intentional from his part, since Tenko is very quick to violence and has threatened him multiple times. This is likely something Kokichi wishes to avoid. Furthermore, Tenko isn't very smart, which is a trait Kokichi isn't very interested in if he doesn't find it useful.

Tenko especially dislikes Kokichi due to his habit of bullying Himiko. Before the trial in Chapter 2, she seems to assume that Kokichi might like Himiko, since she believes in the old belief that boys tease the girls they like. Kokichi answers with a slightly surprised and innocent "huh!? how'd you know?!", and then appears relaxed as he tells her they should focus on the class trial and talk about it later. Like in most situations, it's unclear to the others how serious he was, but he was likely attempting to mess with Tenko and Himiko's feelings. During the bonus mode Love Across the Universe, Kokichi tries to prank Shuichi a few times—when Shuichi brings up something suggestive in a few situations, Kokichi claims that he should ask Tenko since she is actually just being a tsundere and would be a good stripper, which would obviously end very badly for Shuichi.

Fanon
This ship is not known among most people, therefore being a rare pair. There are far more popular shipping choices such as Tenmiko for Tenko, and Saiouma for Kokichi. most fans despise this ship due to Tenko hating men in canon. Because of Tenko's strong hate of men and her canonical attraction to Himiko Yumeno most of the fanbase sees her as a Lesbian and are critical against hetrosexual Tenko ships. Tenkouma is often supported by those who see Tenko as bisexual and could see her and Kokichi coming to be a good couple.
