Villain Overview

How do you expect to find the culprit when you're all worried about each other's feelings? If you're planning to expose a liar, then you have to corner them psychologically... Only then will they reveal their true self as a liar—hiding beneath a layer of deceit!
~ Kokichi describing his class trial strategy.
Why do you guys hate lies so much? There's only one truth, but endless possibilities for lies, y'know? And some of them are only white lies, or lies to be kind to people... If you deny all of that just because it's a lie... Then that means you guys are just terrible at being lied to! Seriously, the worst!
~ Kokichi explaining his pro-lying life philosophy.
Hey, do robots have d*cks?
~ Kokichi asking K1-B0 also his most famous quote.

Kokichi Oma (spelled Ouma in the Japanese version) is a major antagonist of 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. Though he is not actually evil, Kokichi does fake his own death, manipulate Gonta into becoming the blackened, and pretend to be the mastermind in order to stop the killing game and defeat the true mastermind. He was later murdered by Kaito Momota in a plan constructed by Kokichi himself to conclude the killing game once and for all by defeating the mastermind. His plan partially succeeded posthumously in the next trial, allowing three of the remaining contestants to survive.

He was voiced by Hiro Shimono in Japanese and Derek Stephen Prince (who also voiced Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu in Danganronpa 2 and the Digimon Emperor in Digimon Adventure 2) in English.

Appearance[]

Kokichi has a very childlike appearance, as the keyword for his design was "shota" (a Japanese slang term referring to a younger male character). As such, he is quite short, being 5'1" with a thin build, making him the second shortest boy after Ryoma. He has very large, rounded, purple eyes which give him an innocent look—something he uses to advantage to get others to do things for him. Kokichi is also capable of making his eyes appear much sharper, or even somewhat inhuman, when angered. He has dark purple, wavy hair, with brighter purple tips. His hair sticks outwards from his face at the sides, though it lies flat in the back.

Kokichi wears a white, straitjacket-like suit with several straps with red buttons around his arms. His shirt is double-breasted with mismatching buttons and held together with a series of metal clips. Just above the clips is a small, broken chain and his school emblem is printed on his right shoulder. The back of the shirt is decorated with stitches forming a series of X's down his back, two buttons and a broken chain are attached near the hem beneath it. His pants are white, stopping just at the ankles with a dark belt going around the waist. The pants also have two fake belts sewn at the mid-thighs, resembling bondage belts. Kokichi wears a pair of plain, black shoes with purple heels. Around his neck, he sports a signature checkerboard-patterned scarf. Kokichi's suit, upon closer inspection, is rather ill-fitted with jagged edges.

In promotional art, he wears a dark cape with a high collar fastened with a large, metal clip. He also wears a black military-style cap with gold emblems.

Kokichi's voice is usually very childish, as his appearance would suggest, but he can switch to a much deeper, mature voice if he is being flirty, intimidating or angry. This is more prominent in the original Japanese audio.

Personality[]

Described by Shuichi Saihara as "the human embodiment of a lie," Kokichi is a schemer who compulsively or pathologically creates lies. While putting on his villainous persona, he freely states whatever he's thinking, regardless of how it makes others feel. Despite Kokichi's intelligence, he is one of the most immature characters in the series, as he often says things in an attempt to pester the others. This includes constantly teasing Keebo and Miu and harassing Maki after her talent is revealed. Because of the childlike naïveté he displays, Kokichi is easily capable of manipulating the class trials, often leading the others to dead ends or intimidating the culprit.

After the conclusion of the fourth class trial, Kokichi pretends to cry for Gonta to gult trip Gonta into accepting his execution , only to reveal it as a lie and state that he'd never cry for him. From this point onward, Kokichi's mischievous and somewhat childlike demeanor is dropped, with Kokichi now acting cold, uncaring, and nearly insane to cut his ties with everyone in preparation for his plan. He claims to enjoy the suffering and pain of others, with the Killing Game serving as a perfect source of that anguish.

In spite of the antagonistic mask he tries to display, Kokichi does indeed show a compassionate 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.

Kokichi is capable of displaying empathy, but tries his best to make it seem twisted. He becomes upset when Himiko refuses to acknowledge her true feelings concerning her grief over Tenko and Angie's deaths, prompting her to finally face her emotions. He also appeared genuinely saddened by Kaede's execution, saying "[she] wasn't boring", which is a very high compliment from him. Conversely, he is uncaring about the majority of the students, treating their deaths as trivial or entertaining to keep up appearances.

Kokichi has a vendetta against killing, and as such hates the Killing Game. He also loathes Maki, possibly due to her occupation as an assassin. He openly mocks and antagonizes her at every opportunity, driving her to nearly strangle him multiple times. Kokichi often encourages the class to turn against Maki and tries over and over again to isolate her from everyone else, citing the fact that she has killed before and cannot be trusted. He is also willing to drag Kaito into their feud, insulting and harming the astronaut in order to enrage Maki and even using it as a key point in his last-ditch attempt to defeat Monokuma.

Kokichi's hatred of the Killing Game drives him to end it at any cost. He sacrifices both Gonta and Miu in an attempt to mercy-kill the entire class by having them vote incorrectly for the killer. These acts shatter any trust the class had for him and even lead Shuichi, who is usually very compassionate, to tell Kokichi that he will always be alone. Later, the Ultimate Supreme Leader finally reveals the secret of the outside world to the remaining students- that the world was actually destroyed and that they are the sole survivors of humanity.

Immediately after he declares himself the mastermind, he hijacks the Exisals to kidnap Kaito, in an attempt to make everyone lose the will to continue the Killing Game. Unfortunately, the true mastermind gives everyone, save Kokichi and Kaito, a Flashback Light detailing their past as 'beacons of hope' while Kokichi was an evil 'Remnant of Despair.' This caused Maki to make an attempt on Kokichi's life, which he ultimately decided to sacrifice in his final attempt to end the game.

Kokichi appears to be extremely distrustful and paranoid of everyone around him, refusing to divulge information about himself. After his death, Shuichi and Maki visited his room where they discovered he had been hoarding evidence from previous trials and keeping track of murderers and victims. Notably, he wrote "trustworthy?" next to a portrait of Saihara, further demonstrating his distrust. His lying subsequently made it impossible for anyone else to trust him, and he opted for unethical and even cruel measures to get people to cooperate with him. When the motive videos were given out, Kokichi suggested the class watch them together to prevent a murder, only for his idea to be shot down as everyone believed his goal was to incite a killing. In truth, if his motive screening party had happened, a killing would have been less likely to occur. He then manipulated Gonta into kidnapping everyone, allowing Kokichi to steal the videos and watch the videos, though he was unable to force anyone else to view them, which then allows a murder to happen.

Quotes[]

I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader!
~ Kokichi introducing himself to Kaede.
Oh, I'm just the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That's all. I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. My organization has over 10,000 members!
~ Kokichi talking about how vast the organization he leads is.
Well, that was a lie. Y'know, one of those lies to make us more united or whatever. Did you know half my lies are actually told with good intentions?
~ Kokichi explaining his good intentions behind his lies.
Cuz I'm an evil supreme leader, remember? I'm supposed to be suspicious!
~ Kokichi attempting to use his talent to justify his suspicious nature.
It's not that rare for you to make a mistake. Your entire existence is a mistake.
~ Kokichi snarking at Miu.
Regardless of your reasons, the moment you felt the urge to kill, you had already lost. You agreed to be part of this killing game when you allowed murder to fill your heart.
~ Kokichi condemning Kaede's actions.
Yep! Just hit the reset button on your feelings and you'll feel happy and cheerful in no time!
~ Kokichi encouraging Shuichi Saihara after Kaede's death.
But I like playing on Mean difficulty. Also, I don't run from battles in RPGs, either! I wanna win this killing game! So I'm not gonna run from it, I'm gonna crush it! That'll be waaaay less boring, don'tcha think?
~ Kokichi determination to win the killing game.
We...swore to each other, didn't we? We swore we'd never let the killing game start up again. So that was all just a lie! You guys are liars! All you liars, apologize to Ryoma! He believed the killing game wouldn't happen anymore!
~ Kokichi accusing the other students of lying and insisting they apologize to Ryoma.
How do you expect to find the culprit when you're all worried about each other's feelings? If you're planning to expose a liar, then you have to corner them psychologically... Only then will they reveal their true self as a liar—hiding beneath a layer of deceit! We'll scare the culprit until they screw up! That's how a true Class Trial works. Let's start this extreme death debate! Tear up the other's lies! Rip each other apart!
~ Kokichi explaining how to expose a liar.
She tried to escape until the very end... Running away to live...might not be a bad idea.
~ Kokichi following Kirumi's death.
Geez, robots can't even understand human feelings, let alone a girl's heart.
~ Kokichi taunting K1-B0.
Gifted high school students forced to play a killing game... Man! If people were watching this, they would get a kick out of it!
~ Kokichi unintentionally foreshadowing revelations surrounding the killing game.
Personally, I don't think lies are exactly a bad thing... Let's face it, you wouldn't have any free will if the world was comprised with just the truth. But even then...I don't think it's good to lie to yourself, y'know?
~ Kokichi describing his belief of how lies give others free will.
It's not stupid. If meteorites can happen, then anything else can happen, too. C'mon, you're an astronaut, aren't ya? Space is full of mysteries that we can't even fathom. That's why, if the meteorites really did fall on us, anything could've happened.
~ Kokichi explaining how The gOfer Project isn't actually a farfetched concept.
Of course, I am! Games are only fun when you play them seriously, right? So, c'mon guys! Let's enjoy this more! It's not often you get to play a killing game, y'know? The game can't continue until there's another victim! So someone, start killing already! If you doooon't, then I'll kill someone instead! Just like I promised, got it!?
~ Kokichi pretending to encourage the others to enjoy the killing game.
Nee-heehee... You love to believe, don't you, Kaito? But that belief can turn against you, especially in this killing game, y'know?
~ Kokichi telling Kaito Momota how his love of believing can turn against him.
Nee-heehee... A vulgar death fit for a vulgar bitch.
~ Kokichi mocking Miu after finding her corpse.
No matter how much you whine about it, you can't change the truth! The culprit who killed Miu is Gonta Gokuhara! This is the truth you all adore so much
~ Kokichi revealling Gonta to be Miu's killer.
...Bullying? Yeah, so what? That's what you do in this game, right? You guys blame and gang up on me, but now you're gonna pretend to be a good people?
~ Kokichi after Himiko calls him out for bullying.
If he wants to save everyone, he should put everyone out of their misery. In other words...a mercy kill.
~ Kokichi explaining him and Gonta's motives for formulating Miu's murder.
I wanna enjoy this game filled with suspicion and betrayal from the bottom of my heart!
~ Kokichi lying about actually enjoying the killing game.
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 fake sadism.
I don't care anymore... But, I will tell you this... The one who will win this game...is me.

The bastards who created this game to toy with our lives...and the shits enjoying it... They all...piss me off! Th-That's why...I'm willing to do whatever it takes...to end this game!
~ Kokichi's final words.

Trivia[]
