The character page for the teenage participants in Dangan Jidai 2's killing game.
The Entire Cast
- Castof Snowflakes: Every single character has an unique backstory and quirks behind them, as well as their own unique design; on the other hand, it is also a very small cast.
- Child Prodigy: They are all extremely talented teenagers, scouted by Hope's Peak Academy as Ultimates.
- Dwindling Party: The way the RP progresses- at the beginning, there are eleven characters in play. As time progresses, the numbers just keep getting smaller with the killings...
- Two Girls to a Team: in the cast of eleven characters, only two are women. Justified, considering the Imperial Japan setting being highly misogynist, and as such, would not have as many women going to school.

Saki Sengoku
Super High School Level Pamphleteer
The only child of a prominent politician in the Ministry of War, Saki Sengoku grew up privileged in Tokyo. He also took trips around Honshu for a time with his family’s one maidservant. These excursions formed his motivation to begin making documents. Using both text and pictures, Saki crafted pamphlets for the Japanese people, depicting them instead of military conquests. His messages were encouraging despite wartime’s hardships. Healing, hopeful human connections permeated his work; no matter how bad things got, Saki’s displayed protagonists were able to weather their struggles as long as they had someone to rely on. After his pamphlets circulated and garnered more commendations, Hope’s Peak Academy eventually sent Saki Sengoku, the “Super High School Level Pamphleteer,” an invitation to enroll. At his father’s urging, Saki accepted. It was his duty. Japan needed its best at the helm to protect it—and through his pamphlets, encourage its people—through the wartime threats it faced.Mori Hanamizuki

After this event, he has pursued a career in streetcar conducting, and become the best in the field for his age. Not only was he able to collect money and seat passengers extremely quickly, he also had extensive knowledge on how the cars worked, proving him to be useful in many different situations. Not to mention, he is known for his huge smile and love for both streetcars and trains.Hayate Azuma
Super High School Level Archer
Hayate Azuma, the Ultimate Archer, was born on July 8th. His mother was a seamstress while his father was a military officer, and he also has a younger brother that he developed a strong bond with. As a child, he first developed interest in archery after watching an old man practice with a bow, which was growing uncommon in the age of rifles and artillery. Noting his newfound interest in the activity, his father began to train him. This enthusiasm led to him practicing daily in hopes of being able to beat his father and the old man one day. Soon, Hayate began to win local and then country-wide competitions, with officers in the army noticing his growing prowess and eventually giving him the title of “Ultimate Archer”. His mother was a huge fan of singing and nature, however, and Hayate adopted this love as well. After his father was sent to the frontlines after the outbreak of war, he soon developed a dislike of his talent, viewing it as a burden and preferring his mother’s interests instead. Later, he was approached by scouts of Hope’s Peak Academy for his archery talent, and he decided to accept.Werner Fischer

Super High School Level Card Player
Kenzo Fukuda is a name known by most who play or have interest in card games at competitions and seedy locations, but not for a lack of skill, always being able to find just the right cards to win his games, which vary from Karuta to Oicho-Kabu, earning him a nickname from those who play Oicho-Kabu as Kenzo Jujuda, from the 10-10-1 that he seems to draw so commonly.Wakeru Pimyoukage
Super High School Level Shadow Playwright

As his craft slowly improved, the attention he gained from each show increased until it caught the eyes of Hope's Peak.Toshiyuki (Yuki) Matsuda
Super High School Level Storyteller

It wasn’t until he stumbled upon a Rakugo performance at the age of ten, however, that Yuki began his own storytelling. Despite his young age, Yuki showed talents of memorization, improvisation, acting, and humor, and as such, Yuki gained some small popularity within the Rakugo, storytelling, and literary communities.

"Emiyo"
Super High School Level Geisha
The distinctive white face, red lips and decorated hairstyle of the Geisha is an image portrayed throughout the globe as the entrance to a world to which most of us mortals are not invited. A national symbol to Japan, their origins are rooted in the courtesans of old, frequently stationed at entertainment districts in the Imperial Capital. Those women were practicers of all arts, and indubitably became the definitive embodiment of the Japanese aesthetic, as iconic as the samurai; yet, as war reared its ugly head into Japan, they could not last. Sent to work at factories like plebeians, the secret world they’ve kept alive for centuries was burnt down. And yet, they persist; while not the only one left, Emiyo may be called the last of the geiko, the elite geisha of Kyoto. Trained from youth, Emiyo gained prominence when she graduated as the youngest fully fledged geiko in centuries, and kept it by consistently entertaining and serving the most powerful men in the country. Rare appearances to the public at festivals have dubbed her as a goddess by certain commoners, and her persistence in times of chaos have earned her the title of the Super High School Level Geisha by the fledgling Hope’s Peak Academy, whom extended her the invitation to join their batch of exceptional students.- Yamato Nadeshiko: Averted. Despite fitting a number of the requirements of the Yamato Nadeshiko image, such as Silk Hiding Steel, Emiyo's not a Yamato Nadeshiko, despite initial appearances; polite, but playful, mature, but experienced.
- Geisha: Well, it's her talent, and she's the best at it- Emiyo fits this trope to a T. Raven Hair, Ivory Skin, Japanese Politeness, Keigo and Kimono- she has it all.
- Extended Greetings: In order to introduce herself to the other characters, Emiyo always bows at a 40° angle, recites that "It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance", draws out a senjafuda, bows again and hands it to the other person. Sheesh.
