Fujisaki Family

Fujisaki Family is the family ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Taichi Fujisaki from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Taichi is Chihiro's father and the person who's the closest to him, resulting in him becoming Chihiro's captive for Killing School Life's first motive. In Taichi's character profile, it's mentioned that one of the things he likes the most is his child.

The two don't reunite after their kidnapping due to Chihiro's death in Killing School Life and Taichi's presumed death (or at least disappearance) in Demon Hunting. Before his death/disappearance, Taichi had no idea that his son died and was trying to reunite with him.

Taichi, just like his son, possesses some skills in programming. It's also worth noting that Taichi seems supportive of his son crossdressing as a girl in order to cope with being mocked for being weak.

In the bonus mode of New Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, the Ultimate Talent Development Plan, in Chihiro's event with Hiyoko, Chihiro mentions his father sent him a present to school and was emberrased about it. Hiyoko, being jealous of Chihiro's close bond with his father, told him to either accept it or throw it away, motivating him to accept the gift.

Fujisaki family also includes Chihiro's mother. However, not much is known about her. Chihiro appears to have a closer bond with his father since his mother wasn't chosen as his captive for the motive.

Quotes
"I have a child, y'know... You guys are all around the same age... But we got separated, and... A-And all this time, I couldn't do anything... I... I wasn't able to see... Just one last time... That's my only regret..."

- Taichi's last words.

Fanon
The familyship sailed as a result of Taichi and Chihiro canonically being father and son. It was welcomed warmly by the fans thanks to Taichi's caring nature towards his son. Their positive relationship could have been examplified by Taichi's goal to reunite with his son in the midst of the chaos in Towa City, his last words being about his son, as well as supporting him with keeping his secret.

The familyship tends to get forgotten by most Danganronpa fans. It's mostly because Taichi originates from a spin-off game, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, which received mixed feedback from the fandom. Another reason for the familyship often being forgotten is Taichi's quick (presumed) death, leaving his character with very short screentime and thus making him leave a lesser impact on the fandom.

Most of the fan art featuring Taichi showcases his father and son bond with Chihiro, usually in wholesome scenarios or programming together. Nonetheless, because Taichi's character is among the least remembered characters of the main entries of the series, the two don't get as much fan art of fan fictions dedicated to them. To make up for it, fans often theorize about what caused Chihiro's mother to not be included as a Hit List member by the Warriors of Hope.

As such, it remains as one of the more obscure familyships in the series. While still among the most recognizable ships for Taichi, it's nowhere near close to Chihiro's most popular ships, such as Chimondo or Chishimondo.

Some fans may also include Chihiro's artificial intelligence program - Alter Ego, AI Chiaki Nanami, and Usami as a part of the Fujisaki family. This is because Chihiro directly wrote the code for Alter Ego, thus becoming his "father," while also being referred to as such by Usami in her conversation with AI Chiaki Nanami in the second game (with Alter Ego being referred to as their older brother). The latter two could be considered part of the family for similar reasons, as being a co-creator of the Neo World Program with a role of its programmer, Chihiro was responsible for creating their avatars. However, not everyone might include the latter two, as some could consider Usami to be Miaya Gekkogahara's "daughter" instead due to being used as her avatar (and implied to have been developed by her), and AI Chiaki Nanami having her human counterpart with no relation to Chihiro whatsoever.
