- Harem Seeker: Subverted. When Iroha brings up the topic and assures him that she's accepting to the idea of them being in a polyamorous relationship with Sayaka, Makoto counters by saying that it would feel too strange having to manage multiple relationships mixed with having the personal lives of their partners blend together.

They later extend it to Sayaka as of the charity event.

- Blue Blood: He comes from the influential Togami bloodline and is destined to revolutionize the world market with his talents.

- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's mostly a jerk, but he thinks very highly of his hired help and will give credit to people when he thinks they've earned it.

- Obfuscating Disability: As revealed in the climax of the Storm Arc, Kyoji convinced Monaca to pretend that she was clinically sick so she can stay inside a medical chamber to recover. This was done in order to keep her safe from her abusive brother who was planning on selling her to human traffickers.
- Plot-Relevant Age-Up: In the Hide and Seek Arc, she gives herself a growth serum that makes her body age into becoming a teenager. It's horribly deconstructed by Kyoji who explains all the negative repercussions that her body is undergoing due to the forced aging which also gives the girl serious body pains.

- Birds of a Feather: He gets along greatly with Iroha thanks to being a fellow airheaded artist with a troubled home life.
- Child by Rape: As Iroha and Setsuka learn in Black And White Christmas, Ui was raped by her art instructor and Jataro was conceived as a result.

The reason why she made him wear the mask was because he looks just like his biological father.
- Happily Adopted: Despite her age, Iroha is working to become his legal guardian. For now, he's under the care of Setsuka and Umeko.

Parents of the Warriors of Hope
Hiroshi Daimon
Masaru's father. A brutish drunkard who's guilty of inflicting physical abuse onto his son.
- The Alcoholic: Is always shown in a drunk state.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After beating his defenseless son to the point of hospitalization, the monster gets a taste of his own medicine when Tsurugi arrests him and uses police brutality on him.
- Never My Fault: He blamed his late wife for not being able to find a stable job. Additionally, he refuses to take responsibility for beating his son to the point of hospitalization.
- Only in It for the Money: He admits that he agreed to marry his wife because of her economics degree and how her father was a stockbroker, both of which would "supposedly" guarantee him a job.
- Would Hurt a Child: Apparently has no shame in physically beating his 10 year old child for no reason, claiming it to be discipline.
Ui Kemuri
Jataro's mother. A tragic woman who's guilty of inflicting negligence and verbal abuse onto her son.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: Out of all the parents of the Warriors of Hope, Ui is easily the least malicious. While she was still neglectful and emotionally abusive, she still at least put in the effort to try and raise her son, working two jobs and making sure he went to school. And given how much trauma she'd experienced with no help or sympathy from anyone she knew, it's certainly hard to blame her for being upset. She even tried to give Jataro away to someone who would be able to take care of him, knowing she wasn't cut out for raising him. She admits to Iroha that had she marched up to her door and asked for Jataro, she would have happily given him to her, since she could tell that Iroha openly cared for him.
- Adaptational Sympathy: In the original game, Jataro's mother regretted giving birth to him and hated him simply for denying her the chance to do everything she wanted. Here, Ui genuinely tried to take care of him, and her neglect stems from being forced to take care of the child of the man who raped her, who also looks just like him.
- Dark and Troubled Past: One of the most tragic backstories to date. She was a rising art student who was romantically involved with an art instructor. But everything changed when the instructor raped and abandoned her with his child. Her family, the police and the world around her showed no sympathy for the tragedy and even accused her of allowing it. To make matters worse, they forced her to keep Jataro to take responsibility in raising him. So she's had to change her entire life to taking care of a child she didn't want who bore a strong resemblance to her rapist. And then came the abuse...
- Exhausted Eyebags: If you knew of her backstory, you'd understand why she had them.
- Foil: To Iroha, in a dark way. The two of them loved art, have someone they looked up to and both become young mothers. However, while Iroha has a large support network and at least has forewarning about having a child at 19, Ui had none of that. Not only was she raped by her mentor, but she was forced by everyone she knew to care for her rapist's son with no regard for how the incident affected her personally. To make matters worse, Jataro looks just like his father, and looking at his face triggered Ui severely.
- It's All My Fault: Unlike the other adults, she actually owns up to her abuse towards Jataro and feels genuine remorse for her actions.
- Like Parent, Like Child: She loved the arts and her son inherited her passion and art making skills.
- Mandatory Motherhood: Her family forced her to not only give birth to Jataro, but raise him alone, even when she knew she wouldn't be cut out for it.
- Parental Neglect: She's guilty of neglecting Jataro and leaving him in the house for long hours of the day. It's revealed that she's had to work two jobs to support him and she can't stand to see him because of his face. Ui also admits that she isn't cut out to be a good mother.
- Teen Pregnancy: She had Jataro when she was only 18. Not by choice, unfortunately.
- Trauma Button: Why did she make Jataro wear that mask? He looks just like her rapist.
- Troubled Abuser: Unfortunately, the trauma Ui suffered led to her abusing her own son, although she deeply regrets it.
- Younger Than They Look: Only 27, but you'd be forgiven for thinking she's older.
Yumi Utsugi
Kotoko's mother. A cynical lady who's guilty of inflicting emotional abuse and exploitation onto her daughter.
- Commonality Connection: She ends up striking a nerve with Mikan by asking if she ever had to endure her own hell just to have a chance of being worth something special just like her.
- Even Evil Has Standards: She may be a cynical Stage Mom with twisted values of womanhood, but even she was disgusted with her husband trying to sell their daughter into a human trafficking ring.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Yumi doesn't regret being tough on her daughter as it ensured that she'd be recognized as a star student at the infamous Hope's Peak Elementary division.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Her own goal is to make a name for herself and obtain all the success she can muster. It's why she insisted on putting her daughter into the path of stardom.
- Oh, Crap!:
- She gets this reaction after learning that Kotoko has HIV and that her husband lied to her about the tests.
- She has this reaction yet again when both the Anons and Mikan point out that if Kotoko has HIV, then there is a good chance she has it as well.
- Proud Beauty: She's attractive by DR standards and openly claims that youth and beauty are the two most important things in a woman's life.
- Stage Mom: Her motivation of pushing Kotoko into being a bigtime actress was to ensure that she'd be recognized by all of Japan.
- Worth It: Proudly admits that putting Kotoko through her abuse and high expectations just to make an influential name for herself is worth it.
Mai Shingetsu
Nagisa's mother. A stone hearted, science aficionado who's guilty of inflicting mental abuse and experimentation onto her son. She also works for the Hope's Peak Steering Committee and is complicit in the Kamukura Project.
- Expy: She looks and behaves like the loathsome Abacus Cinch from the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games movie.
- Foil: To Kokoro Mitsume. While both had their child for the sole purpose of experimenting on them and are both well aware of their actions, Kokoro ended up feeling remorse for this and genuinely grew to care about Mikako's wellbeing and happiness, even sacrificing herself in one timeline to save her life. Mai, on the other hand, is utterly unrepentant of abusing Nagisa and even after having him taken out of her custody, had the audacity to immediately get herself knocked up again just to have another test subject.
- For Science!: She wanted to study the true capabilities of a human being, so she decided to use her son to undergo multiple horrific experiments that pushed his body and sanity to the very limit.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Wears glasses and is an utterly cruel-hearted excuse for a parent.
- I Have No Son!: She proudly boasts that Nagisa is no longer her responsibility.
- Karma Houdini: By the power of the Hope's Peak Steering Committee manipulating the government, she's allowed to walk out of jail without a trial, with the cops utterly powerless to stop her.
- Parental Neglect: She has no love in her black heart to give to her son. Heck, she even admits that she has no interest in taking him back and writes him off as a failed experiment.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: She refers to Kyoji, a biracial man of Korean decent, as a "half-breed".
Patient 8702 (SPOILERS)
Ryoko Otonashi
Sprite created by danganspritesbox
The mysterious patient of DLTA whose identity would one day be stolen by her own sister.
- Ambiguous Situation: How did Ryoko's accident happen? Did she slip and fall during a jump from a rock? Did Junko push her? Did she deliberately aim for the rocks? Was it some combination of the above? In the end, nobody knows for sure.
- Awesome by Analysis: She still retains the ability to analyze a situation and come up with an effective strategy. This is best used when Dr. Shirogane triggers several bombs to blow up the hospital leaving it up to the forgetful girl to describe the hospital's layout to the Quantum Crew so they can stop the detonation from happening.
- Decomposite Character: In Danganronpa Zero, she represented an amnesiac version of Junko Enoshima who wasn't consumed by despair or cruelty. In here, she's her own person whose main connection to the walking apocalypse is being her older sister.
- Every Scar Has a Story: She only has one scar which is on her head. Ryoko tells the Crew that she got it when she was diving near a rocky beach with her sisters which resulted in a head injury that gave her her amnesia disorder.
- Forgetful Jones: She has Anterograde Amnesia, meaning that her brain can't retain new memories and she forgets everything and everyone she meets. By the end of Old Ghosts, she choses to forget the events of the arc ever happened.
- Living MacGuffin: The Quantum Crew is warned by their future descendants that Ryoko needs to be protected from Junko.
- Note to Self: She always carries her notebook(s) so she can remember conversations and people in the present.
