__Talent:__ Ultimate ???

A student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life. 

Kyouko is a mysterious, stoic, and independent person who deliberately masks her feelings so that others won't be able to read her. Because of this, she has a cold demeanor and appears to remain calm and collected in most situations. Despite this, however, she can sometimes let her emotions get the best of her when she's especially upset. Though aloof and slow to trust others, Kyouko is adept at noticing things that the other students don't, which proves vital once bodies start turning up. She often advises Makoto on conducting investigations.

~!Her actual talent is the Ultimate Detective.!~


A group of 15 elite high school students are gathered at a very special, high class high school. To graduate from this high school essentially means you'll succeed in life, but graduating is very difficult. The school is presided over by a bear called Monokuma, and he explains to them that their graduation hinges around committing a murder. The only way to graduate is to kill one of your classmates and get away with it. If the other classmates discover the identity of the killer, the killer is the only one executed. However, if they fail to catch the killer, only the killer graduates and the others are annihilated. Which of the 15 will survive the bloodbath to come?

Each year, the elite Hope’s Peak Academy selects only the most gifted and talented students to enroll... plus one ordinary student, chosen by lottery. Makoto Naegi was that lucky person—or so he thought! When he shows up for class, he finds the elite students are a bizarre cast of oddballs under the ruthless authority of a robot teddy bear principal, Monokuma. The bear lays down the school rules: the only way out of Hope’s Peak is to not only murder another student... but get away with it, as every murder is followed by a tribunal where the surviving students cross-examine each other!
