Kokichi Oma

"I AM the supreme leader of evil, so it's obvious my personality would be twisted. The more you suffer, the more I enjoy it. There are people in this world who spread grief and misery for no reason than the thrill of it! And I'm one of those people. Nothing pleases me more than inflicting pain on others!"

- Kokichi Oma's true nature.

Kokichi Oma is a major antagonist in the video-game Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, serving as the main antagonist of both Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. He is one of the sixteen participants of the Killing School Semester and is known as the "Ultimate Supreme Leader".

He is voiced by Derek Stephen King in the American version of the game and by Hiro Shimono in the Japanese version.

history
Prior to joining the cast of Danganronpa, Kokichi was an ordinary, talentless boy. However, once he successfully participated in the 53rd season of Danganronpa, he received various fabricated memories.

Upon meeting Kaede Akamatsu and Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Pianist and Ultimate Detective respectively, he introduces himself as the Ultimate Supreme Leader, stating to be the leader of a super powerful and evil organization - one that he claims to have hundreds upon thousands of members across the world, though neither of them buy into his claims.

The organization in question is actually a small group of pranksters who go by the name "D.I.C.E.", who pull pranks on others for the sake of entertainment and have a strict rule against killing.

personality
Described by Shuichi Saihara as "the human embodiment of a lie", Kokichi is a masterful schemer who enjoys creating lies and freely states whatever he's thinking, regardless of how it makes others feel. He often says things in an attempt to anger the others, such as constantly teasing Keebo and Miu and calling Maki a nerd for knowing a lot about killing. Because of this, Kokichi is easily capable of manipulating the class trials, often leading the others into dead ends or in an attempt to intimidate the culprit.

After the conclusion of the fourth class trial, Kokichi pretends to mourn for the now deceased Gonta, only to reveal it as a lie soon after and state that he'd never cry for him. From this point onward, Kokichi's mischevious and somewhat childlike demeanor is dropped, with Kokichi now acting cold, uncaring and nearly insane. He claims to enjoy the suffering and pain of others, with the Killing Game serving as a perfect source of it.

In spite of Kokichi's antagonistic nature on the surface, as well as his various cruel deeds throughout the game, Kokichi does indeed possess a compasionate side; albeit one that is rarely seen by the other students. During his private conversation with Kaito in Chapter 5, Kokichi expresses his true feelings towards the Killing Game, stating that those who are enjoying the students' suffering "piss him off" and that he had to "lie to himself" in order to get any enjoyment out of it. Kokichi considers lying to be a major part of who he is, believing lies to be just as - if not more - important than the truth. He also claims to use them as a way to entertain those around him.
