Kiyotojo

"Having a person like you in this academy... is truly inspiring!"

- Kiyotaka, in the UTDP bonus mode.

Kiyotojo is the het ship between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Kirumi Tojo from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Since Kiyotaka and Kirumi are from different games, they have zero interactions in canon. However, they have very similar motivations. Kiyotaka is a very focused person as a result of his upbringing, with his grandfather being a former prime minister, who was very scandal ridden. Due to this, Kiyotaka aspired to bring glory back to his family name, by working hard to establish his new society that rewarded effort, taking all relaxation out of his life. Kirumi is very similar. She believes in "selfless devotion", and as a maid, prioritizes others over herself, and works hard at what she does. As revealed in canon, she is the de facto prime minister of Japan, which prompted her to try to escape in her chapter.

The two have two interactions in the non-canon Ultimate Talent Development Plan game mode in V3. One is playable as Kiyotaka, the other as Kirumi. Kiyotaka's event is a seasonal event accessed by choosing to exercise in front of the school. When there, he meets up with Kirumi, and they greet each other. Kiyotaka states that he's there as a role model to the other students, to which Kirumi agrees with as wonderful thinking. Kiyotaka then thanks her for all that she does, and calls her inspiring.

In Kirumi's event, which is also seasonal and can be accessed by choosing to check the noisy hallway before cleaning, Kiyotaka and Mondo Owada are having an argument. Kirumi inquires why they are arguing, and Mondo gets agitated. Kiyotaka scolds him for screaming at someone who isn't involved, apologizing to Kirumi, but Kirumi states that it is her business. She then proceeds to defuse the situation, offering a fair solution that both agree too, helping the best friends reconcile.

Fanon
is a rare-pair due to the overall unpopularity of cross-game ships. However, those that do ship Kiyotaka and Kirumi imagine them being very close, taking pride in their shared morals, and working together with their duties. Both characters having a direct connection to the Prime Minister also sails this ship. Some imagine this being more of a close friendship, leaving both characters open to romantic ships as well.
