14!!Ame Akiyoshi
15!!!Super High School Level Comic Book Collector
16->''“SAO IS A ''STAIN'' ON ANIME!”''
17
18Ame Akiyoshi is more than just a fan of comics and manga. The young man has gone out of his way to amass an impressive collection of books and merchandise. He’s gotten his hands on every issue put out by all the big companies, no matter how obscure, topping it all off with knowledge of all kinds of lore and trivia. If you have something he wants, he knows exactly how to get it from you. Turns out he has a secret identity.
19
20* {{Alliterative Name}}: Ame Akiyoshi's first and last name start with the same sounds, just like all his favorite superheroes.
21* {{Always Save The Girl}}: [[spoiler:His motivation for killing Kyohei. After learning that Kyohei may kill Sparrow--whom he was protecting as the Guardian--he decided to act first.]]
22* {{Badass Bookworm}}: Ame took martial arts as a child to protect himself on the streets. [[spoiler:He uses these skills to fight crime.]]

26* {{Hammerspace}}: Ame keeps ''everything'' in his backpack. Including, but not limited to, comic books, scratch paper, spare change, pens/pencils, spare glasses, to-do list, and [[spoiler:"Blindspot" costume]]. UPDATE: This trope applies more literally now that Keisha had it turned into a {{Bag of Holding}}.
27* {{Meaningful Name}}: This applies to Ame's entire family. Ame's father is named Akira, and his mother is named Yuki. Ame means rain, Yuki means snow, and the kanji in the name Akira means clear.
28%% * [[spoiler:{{Night Vision Goggles}}]]: [[spoiler:An integral part of his vigilante's costume.]]
29%% * [[spoiler:{{Smoke Out}}]]: [[spoiler:Ame keeps smoke bombs along with his baton, just in-case the impenetrable shield of darkness wasn't dark enough. Also the only way for Ame to put on his costume in the middle of a trail without it being super awkward.]]
30* {{Stoic Spectacles}}: Wears simple eye glasses, even though his vision isn't that bad.
31%% * [[spoiler:{{Vigilante Man}}]]: [[spoiler:Ame's real talent at Hope's Peak academy is “Vigilante”.]]
32
33!!Hikaru Hoshi
34!!!Super High School Level Darts Player
35->''“Good… morning? Uh, I think.”''
36
37Hikaru Hoshi came out of nowhere a few years ago to win a darts competition in Roppongi, Tokyo. Since then, he’s been competing all over Japan, gaining a reputation as being unbeatable. It’s said he’s a gracious winner who is always polite to his rivals, even if he seems a little stiff and formal in interviews. Nothing of his private life is known, and he is rarely seen when not at a darts-related event.
38
39* {{Alliterative Name}}: '''H'''ikaru '''H'''oshi. [[spoiler: It's an alias. It's really Hikaru Suzuki.]]

42* {{Japanese Politeness}}: To an extreme; addresses everyone with the honorific "-sama".

45%% * {{Trademark Favourite Food}}: Lemon sorbet, it seems.
46
47!!Harumi Kaneko
48!!!Super High School Level Mathematician
49->''“W-wait! This doesn’t…! Make… s-sense… ohhh, you’re gone already, n-never mind…”''
50
51Ever since Harumi began preschool, he had always gotten perfect scores in mathematics and its various sub-categories. He was often the person to go to if you wanted help on the subject. The boy graduated from schoolyard tutoring to hosting his own website for math help. It would’ve been a quiet affair had not one person tried to play a prank on him. One of the more well versed math geeks sent him one of the Millennium Prize Problems to solve for a “term paper”. Harumi solved it in a week. The resulting proof awarded him $1,000,000 and the title of the youngest person to solve one of these conjectures, catching the eyes of the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy.

62%% !!Ōken Kōtan
63%% !!!Super High School Level Lapidary
64%% ->''“Oh God, oh God, oh God, what kind of sick, twisted freak would do this to me?!”''
65
66%% Seemingly rising from a wealthy background, there’s several things not exactly known about Ōken such as his family background or exactly who his parents even are, however a suspicious past like this did not stop the young man from gaining fame for his prodigious skills and prodigal lifestyle. Armed with a faceting machine, gemstones, minerals, and precious metals of all kinds, Ōken’s rose to fame was naught but a part of his destiny, just yet another task for him to fulfill. With jewelry and styled gemstones sold at lavish numbers at stores and auctions globally and others exposed in famous art museums, it was inevitable for Hope’s Peak to not notice the small, blonde boy and his masterful craft.

71%% !!Emile Martinez
72%% !!!Super High School Level Let's Player
73%% ->''“Fffuck! Mierda! Ghhh, why God? Why have you forsaken me...?!”''
74
75%% What’s up everybody, it’s Emile. He’s playing a mutual killing game for the real life. Emile Martinez started publishing videos of himself talking over video games online at age 14. He started off as a small and unknown, but has quickly gained an impressive fanbase over the years. Though impressive only in the fact that they are a large group. His fans are infamous for attacking any potential competition of Emile’s and being unpleasant individuals in general. Sure, they’re not all bad, but it’s well known online that a fan of his often only means bad news. Some argue he moved to Japan to get away from it all, but others are viciously opposed to the idea of their idol leaving– especially due to them. While his fans may be questionable, Emile's talent isn't. His videos continue to bring smiles to many a face.
76
77%% !!Kyohei Takahashi
78%% !!!Super High School Level Paperboy
79->''“W-Wow, th’s place ’s amazin’! We’re really stayin’ here?… Man, I wish I could remember what happened, Th’s’s… just- wow!!”''
80%%
81%% Kyohei has delivered newspapers in his town for over 10 years, and has successfully delivered over 500,000 newspapers. Starting at the neighborhood level, his route soon extended to the entire city. His incredible speed and strength allows him to cover entire neighborhoods in just a few minutes. Kyohei’s recognition began when the local printing press published a story about his accomplishments, and the town’s profit made from not needing a newspaper delivery truck service. To compliment this, Kyohei is friendly and sociable, and well known throughout his hometown. Answering questions from the press was exciting and flattering for him, considering his seemingly uninteresting talent. As more people latched onto this intriguing story, the word spread throughout the country, and Kyohei became a hometown celebrity.
82
83%% * [[spoiler:{{Kill The Cutie}}]]
84
85%%!!Shin Yoshida
86%%!!!Super High School Level Good Luck
87%%->''“This has got to be a joke, right?”''
88
89%%When you look up the name ‘Shin Yoshida’, you’ll find...nothing. Yeah, there’s nothing to find on this guy. He won the Hope’s Peak lottery by being invited for doing absolutely nothing. Living in Tokyo’s Akihabara District, Shin is an ordinary student that used to go to an ordinary high school with...mostly ordinary friends. If anything, he’s a regular presence on 2ch - an online message board - and has briefly talked about the invitation he got under the username ‘Stargazer’. ...What else do you want? He likes...stargazing? Procrastinates a lot? Honestly, he’s a very normal guy who somehow got invited to an academy that’s anything but normal.
90
91%% * {{Cosmic Plaything}}
92%% * {{Deadpan Snarker}}: Shin's default attitude.
93%% * {{Unfazed Everyman}}: He puts up with the weirdness that are his classmates and situation. Somehow.

99!!Keisha "Q-BALL" Deering
100!!!Super High School Level Insomniac
101->''“...an elf. You've gotta be shitting me.”''
102
103Keisha “Q-BALL” Deering is a powerhouse when it comes to anything in text, sought out even by professional writers to proofread and edit their work. Experience means everything in that industry, which she has more of than your common publishing house rookie due to a rather unusual biological quirk: she does not require sleep. Armed with at least an extra eight hours a day to perform tasks than your average human, she quickly developed her skills and knowledge base. As mainly an internet persona who values their privacy, the public releasing of HPA Roster is the first instance revealing her identity.
104
105%% * {{Aloof Dark Haired Girl}}: Keisha usually prefers to be alone and is aloof to most people unless she likes/cares about them.
106%% * {{Deadpan Snarker}}: Keisha? Sarcasm and snark? Never~!

111%% * {{Orphans Ordeal}}
112* {{Smoking Is Cool}}: Keisha smokes like a chimney, but when it'll get her in trouble she substitutes coffee.
113
114!!Saiko Edano
115!!!Super High School Level Prankster
116->''“... Nyahaha.”''
117
118Nobody really would have guessed a little girl from Shikoku would end up the nation’s icon for trickery and foul play. From buckets looming over doors to pins in chairs to tar and feathers, Saiko Edano is Japan’s national prank master. She started online with videos of people falling for her traps, unsuspecting people walking headlong into hilarity… With millions of views on her videos and innovative ideas, she really is impressive for what she does. Pranks may seem “childish” to some, but there is a serious work that has to go behind planning them! Her talents have even been called upon by some reality show hosts in need of some good traps for contestants to fall into.
119
120%% * {{Aloof Big Brother}}: Her step-brother Tsubasa falls into this.
121%% * {{Cats Are Snarkers}}:While not a litral cat, she's certainly cat themed.
122%% * {{Child Prodigy}}: She's been regarded as smart since she was tiny.
123%% * {{Deadpan Snarker}}
124%% * {{Good With Numbers}}

129%% * {{The Prankster}}: Literally her talent.
130%% * {{Shared Family Quirks}}: Her and her step-mom react similarly to a lot of things.

132%% * {{Sibling Team}}: Saiko and Satomi are a menace when working together.
133
134!!Momoe Furugawa
135!!!Super High School Level Lolita Fashion Model
136->''“What a pain...”''
137
138A popular name in the Lolita world, Momoe Furugawa has been on countless fashion blogs and a few recent documentaries on the actual fashion and culture of Lolita. With a sweet personality she seems to draw people to her, and she often tells of how much she enjoys her profession and the freedom it gives her to express herself in these outfits. Her skill is only matched by professionals- Something few teenagers her age can claim to. Having design as something she adores, and the fame as something she enjoys, this Fashionista is not easily matched.
139
140* {{Meaningful Name}}: "Hundred Blessings, Old River"
141%% * {{Textile Work Is Feminine}}: [[spoiler: Much to her dismay sometimes]]
142* TheFashionista: She's a model and clothing maker by trade, she keeps up with all the trends she can.
143
144%% !!Sparrow Hayashi
145%% !!!Super High School Level Birder
146%% ->''“Oh goddammit…”''
147
148%% Some people may not consider bird watching a talent. Some people may say that anyone can go out and look at birds. Well, those people are absolutely… correct. Or at least to Sparrow they are. For someone who’s traveled all across the globe and seen nearly every type of bird there is, Sparrow isn’t exactly a fan of her talent. Sure she likes birds but the constant traveling isn’t too easy for her. That’s why she gladly accepted Hope’s Peak’s invitation. Maybe spending some time in Japan and going to an actual school will be good for her.
149
150%% !!Adeline Koyama
151%% !!!Super High School Level Perfumer
152%% ->''“T-this… this is…This is real…!”''
153
154%% The first thing one might notice about Adeline Koyama is a powerful smell. As a perfumer, she’s covered in lingering fragrance wherever she goes. Adeline started creating her scents at the young age of 10, and her parents helped her start a business to sell it when she was only 11. After 5 years, Tageslicht has become a popular perfume brand, and headquarters relocated to Japan recently. Not long afterwards, its founding member was scouted for Hope’s Peak.

160%% !!!Super High School Level Cheerleader
161%% ->''“So…You’re telling me we’ve been KIDNAPPED, and we’re supposed to be okay with this?” ''
162%%
163%% Kaede Sakane is a name you’ve probably heard of. She started her cheering success from a young age by forming a cheering club, otherwise known as oenbu, at her middle school. From here, she worked hard to become center of her group, which later formed into a fully-functioning squad. She became the most recognizable face in the oendan, and worked hard to prove her dedication to the schools’ sports teams through her pom-pom routines, motivational speeches, and noise-making alike. When she graduated middle school and got scouted as Hope’s Peak’s SHSL Cheerleader, she didn’t stop there. She worked even harder to be the best of the best to live up to her title.

170
171%% An increasingly well-known figure in the field of microbiology, Tomoko Tachibana is a rising Hope’s Peak inductee that was noticed for her key role in developing a vaccine of a recent and extremely resistant strain of a contagious virus. Tachibana is already a known name in the sciences, and Tomoko seems to be taking after her family quite well. Her main talent is virology, but she has also shown interest in studies of epidemics, parasites, and bacteria- and who knows what progress she will make in the future! With her outgoing personality, unique sense of curiosity, and natural sense of leadership, it wouldn’t be surprising if she continued making strides in her fields of interest.

175!!Aimi Yokota
176!!!Super High School Level Hacky Sacker
177->''“… Uh, this is kind of…”''
178
179Born in Okinawa to a working class family, Aimi Yokata only ever started to use hacky sacks as a hobby, something she never really told anyone about. However, when she started posting tutorial videos about how to perform difficult tricks, people took notice! After exiting a few small contests within her own prefecture with several avalanche victories, her friends and viewers pushed her to try in Japan wide contests. Despite taking victory in a country-wide contest out of pretty much nowhere, major media outlets didn't really pick up on her until she quietly broke the world record for the longest time anyone’s ever had a hacky sack in the air- she managed to keep it going for eight hours, five minutes, and twenty two seconds! After that announcement brought a certain amount of recognition to her, it wasn't much of a surprise when Aimi was recruited by Hope’s Peak Academy.
180
181* CharacterTics: Aimi can often be found snapping a hairband around her wrist.
182* StudentCouncilPresident: Before coming to Hope's Peak, she held this position at her old school.

Starting with a small grooming place in the heart of Shinjuku, Takumi has suddenly grown and become one of the most sought after dog groomers by Tokyo dog show contestants in the past year. With an obvious passion for dogs, it's no wonder that he’s so good at what he does!
192
193%% * {{Big Friendly Dog}}
194* {{Canine Companion}}: Back at home, Takumi has a Japanese Spitz named Hiroyuki who he loves a whole lot.
195* {{Consummate Liar}}: Takumi is more than often lying about things when he talks to other people.

206
207Having been uploading videos and posts about their investigations since the age of fifteen, Rémy St. Valentine recently gained recognition by testifying at a controversial court case regarding a boy who was injured during an attempted exorcism. The case was a hot topic for a short amount of time, causing many heated debates between the spiritual and medical communities. Rémy’s involvement caused their popularity to skyrocket for a time, their videos and posts more than tripling in views. Not only did they end up publishing a book detailing the events that led up to the court case, but they were offered a job with one of the top paranormal investigation companies in Japan. Shockingly, they turned the company down, saying they prefer to work alone.

218%%!!!Super High School Level Plush Maker
219%% ->''“Yo..You…With the hair. and the face. Hi. So like not for nothin but you woke up here, I woke up here, weird morning huh?”''
220
221%% Arts and crafts and bears! Teddi Tatsumi has made a mark on the world with his eccentric and beautifully crafted custom plush toys. At first he was just selling them at local events and festivals but soon enough his excellent craftsmanship and attention to details garnered him more attention than could be accommodated. His ability to perfectly bring to life the imagination of his clientele and make even the most abstract monster as a perfect plush replica has brought in even the most exclusive of upper crust patrons. World wide Teddi has sold only about 2000 plushies but the exclusiveness of his product only seems to have added to his appeal. Teddi has indeed left a mark on the world of stuffed toys.
