Judging the Danganronpa x Sanrio character pairings

You may have already heard that a DANGANRONPA X SANRIO line of crossover merch was announced a few days ago! Which is obviously AMAZING, because they’re combining cutesy characters that have often been marketed to wee children with everybody’s favorite murderdeathkill game! I LOVE IT.

I have a niece who went through a Sanrio/Hello Kitty phase, so I actually know a few of these characters. In turn, this means that I have THOUGHTS on how the DR1 and Sanrio cast were paired up.

Granted, I still had to look up a lot of these guys and read about them. But now I feel adequately educated to the point where I can judge just how well the Danganronpa and Sanrio pairings actually match up.

Makoto Naegi/Cinnamoroll - Obviously this totally works because Makoto IS something of a cinnamon roll, eh? EH? But Cinnamoroll is said to be shy albeit still very friendly. He also likes to seek out fun new adventures. So, aside from “very friendly,” I’m not sure that this sounds like Makoto. I also doubt that calling a character a “cinnamon roll” is common slang in Japan. So this is whatever.

Sayaka Maizono/Wish Me Mell - Mell has the power to connect people’s hearts by simply stating the feelings they keep inside. She was initially withdrawn and believed she didn’t have any friends, but the people who cared for her finally broke through her shell and convinced her that she DOES have friends. So uh, Maizono... I guess music can also bring out people’s feelings? And perhaps you could plausibly HC that Sayaka has often felt like her surrounding friends were “fake” and only there because of her celebrity status. There’s not really much to go on here.

Leon Kuwata/Tiran - Tiran is an orange T-rex that is said to be scatterbrained but still a strong and reliable leader. Meanwhile, Leon has orange hair, and he’s certainly strong and kind of scatterbrained sometimes. It sorta works.

Kyoko Kirigiri/Marroncream - Marroncream is bright, positive, and fashionable. She is talented at making crafts and sweets. She lives in Paris. She has nearly nothing in common with Kyoko, although Kyoko did live abroad a lot in her younger years. So I could try to latch onto the Paris thing.

Hifumi Yamada/Pokopon - Pokopon is a raccoon that loves to read but dislikes ghosts and “the thunder god.” (uh... what?) He also finishes his sentences with the unusual suffix “-das.” Of course, Hifumi loves to write (which certainly is connected to reading), and he likes to end all names with a weird suffix (”-dono”), so I can see how they might make a cute pair.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru/Pekkle - Pekkle is a duck who is good-natured and kind. He loves to sing and dance. It kind of sounds like he should’ve been matched with Sayaka, but instead he’s here with Taka. While Ishimaru is definitely a good person, I don’t think most people would immediately describe him as “kind.” And he certainly isn’t known for his love of music.

Yasuhiro Hagakure/Monkichi - Monkichi is a laid-back, easygoing guy who is upbeat and loves puns. His dream is to become a poet. It’s said that once he sets his mind on something, there is no stopping him! And in comparison, Hagakure is... well, he’s kind of laid-back in the sense that he’s kind of lazy? But he’s actually pretty high-stress a lot of the time, too. Honestly, there’s not much linking the two.

Chihiro Fujisaki/Kurousa and Shirousa - Shirousa is the white one and is the older sibling to Kurousa, the brown one. Shirousa is described as an energetic leader and Kurousa is described as being nice but lazy. They like to make cakes. What does any of this have to do with Chihiro? Beats me. This particular pairing is nonsense.

Byakuya Togami/Badtz-Maru - Badtz-Maru is said to have a bad attitude and dreams of being “the boss of everything” when he grows up. He tends to act a bit selfish, and he mocks things he dislikes/disagrees with. He enjoys expensive food and collecting photos of movie villains. With the exception of that last point, I’d have to say that this sounds like a near-perfect match for Togami.

Mondo Owada/Goropikadon - The Goropikadon are a group of cave boys whose actual names are Goro (blue hair), Pika (pink hair), and Don (teal hair). Goro is always hungry and joking around. PIka is a thoughtful, shy mama’s boy. Don is serious and places a high value on honesty. Overall, I suppose that how quick Mondo is to get angry and resort to violence kind of makes him seem like a stereotypical caveman? But in terms of their distinct personalities, only Don’s focus on honesty rings true for Mondo.

Toko Fukawa/Lloromannic - Another multi-character one. The Llormannic are a pair of creatures named Berry (the black one, who is male) and Cherry (the pink one, who is female). They are mischievous and love to play pranks on humans. Cherry was originally alone and created Berry for companionship; however, she mixed up her magic spell ingredients and used salt when she meant to use sugar, which resulted in Berry turning out to be a more hostile being than Cherry. I suppose the fact that Berry is a darker creation of Cherry’s sort of reflects the relationship between Toko and her other self, Genocide(r) Syo/Jack. However, Berry and Cherry are still best friends. Toko and Syo/Jack are definitely not that.

Celestia Ludenberg/Kuromi - Kuromi is the rival of a bunny named “My Melody” who doesn’t appear in this promotion. Kuromi is said to look “tough and punk” in her jester’s hat with the pink skull on it, but in reality she is very girly. She enjoys writing in her diary, reading romance books, cooking, and checking out good-looking guys. I suppose Celestia did have that dream of living in a mansion where she was served by handsome guys dressed as vampires? So... they both like hot guys? But that’s all I’ve got here. Pretty sure this pairing only exists for aesthetic reasons. And admittedly, their aesthetics mesh very well.

Aoi Asahina/Keroppi - Keroppi lives with his family on the edge of Donut Pond. He is bubbly, a fantastic swimmer and, because of the name of his home pond, is often associated with donuts and/or things that are donut-shaped. Ok, so this was an obvious pairing, then. They nailed it. Probably the single best pairing they came up with.

Sakura Ogami/My Sweet Piano - Yes, the character’s name is literally “My Sweet Piano.” She’s described as soft, kind, and girly. Given Sakura’s secret love of girly things, I can see how this soft, pink, girly sheep would be something she’d love to be around.

Junko Enoshima (...?)/Hello Kitty - Hello Kitty (a.k.a. Kitty White) is described by Sanrio as “cute, bright, sweet, kind-hearted and tomboyish.” They also say that Kitty is very close with her sister, Mimmy. As for Junko... look, the only reason I think maybe this is supposed to be Junko is because Mukuro already has her own Sanrio matchup (see the next entry), but in terms of her appearance, this “Junko” sure looks like it’s “Junkuro.” The telltale sign is that giant bow on the left side of the head, which only Mukuro-as-Junko has ever worn. I doubt we’re supposed to be thinking that they did two Mukuros in two different outfits, though?

It’s like this: If it’s Junko, well, I guess both Junko and Kitty are icons within their respective brands. And Junko tries to put on a “cute and bright” exterior persona, I guess? But that’s pretty thin. On the other hand, if this is Mukuro in disguise, this is actually a semi-decent matchup! Mukuro is arguably tomboyish and certainly very close to her sister (at least from her own perspective), so these two are not without their parallels.

In either case, both Kitty and the Unknown Despair Sister have a big bow on the left side of their head. Which I think is the real reason they’ve been paired, honestly.

Mukuro Ikusaba/Little Twin Stars - Kiki and Lala are a pair of twins that were born on December 24th. Mukuro is one half of a pair of twins ALSO born on December 24th. Instant connection! Kiki (the blue-haired boy) loves fishing and inventing things. He is curious and cheeky. Lala (the pink-haired girl) loves drawing, writing poems, and cooking. She is rather timid. In short, the “twins with the same birthdate” thing is the only thing connecting Mukuro to these two. Still, it’s not bad.

Also, the most amazing thing to come out of this team-up so far HAS TO BE MonoKitty. Hello Kitty cosplaying as our favorite psychotic MurderBear? How great is that? SELL ME MERCH OF MONOKITTY.

Welcome to Danganronpa Daycare! This is an AU where the Danganronpa cast is kids and are taken care of by the headmaster and the monos! This is not like a nursery. This is more of an after-school/weekend thing. Why? Because Hiro is 4 years older than everyone. Let's introduce them!

Meet the caretakers!

Jin Kirigiri - In his late twenties in this AU and tired of everyone. He tries to treat all the kids equally but it is obvious that he believes his daughter Kyoko before he even talks to the other kids which make some of the kids jealous although Kyoko never lies. He always needs to keep an eye out as Junko keeps causing trouble, Hifumi is being Hifumi, and Monokuma lets the kids do dangerous things.

Monokuma - Quite similar to his bear counterpart, this Monokuma who is 16 is the definition of chaos. He encourages fights, teases the kids, and when a child gets hurt, he starts laughing. The only children he looks after well are Mukuro and Junko, clearly preferring Junko. But even with them, he isn't very responsible, often supporting the things Junko does. Why is he here? For the money. How is he not fired? No one knows.

Monomi - Monokuma's younger stepsister, 15, and the complete opposite of her stepbrother. She's caring and sweet to all of the children, not picking favourites and a lot more responsible than Monokuma. The only reason why the daycare is still a mess is that she is a pushover. The children easily tell her what to do but no one can blame her as some of the kids are just like that. Most of the time, she can stop Monokuma and Junko but there are times that she is in a timeout instead.

Now, let's meet the kids! All the kids are 4, except for Hiro. Hiro is 8.

Taka - He is a very good kid. Sometimes a little too good. He does his assignments, naps at the exact time he needs to, finishes his food, always tells the truth, and is nice to everyone. He can be loud and a little overbearing which annoys the other kids but he tries. Because of his need to be perfect, it's hard for him to make friends but when he becomes friends with someone, he will see them as a sibling.

Chihiro - He's the smallest of the class. He was first thought to be a girl due to him being smaller than the rest but together with Mondo, able to come out of his shell. He's always tweaking with something new. One day it will be reprogramming a laptop and other times, with help from the other kids, to play pranks with the TV. He's a little shy and soft spoken but he knows how to have fun. Sometimes he goes to school wearing his dress because he likes it.

Mondo - Is obsessed with becoming a man, even though he's just 4. Because he doesn't know a lot, he follows all of his older brothers advice. He is very hotheaded but he's a good friend and respectful. He never breaks a promise. He finds that 'unmanly' and anyone who he thinks is being disrespectful or unmanly, he chases them with his bike.

Junko - The troublemaker of the class. On most days, she's just very chaotic. One day playing dress-up, the other time she's being overly nice to the others. But that's not who she really is. The real Junko tries to make everyone miserable. Not even her twin sister is safe from her. From putting sand in people's food to putting lizard guts on the craft table. April fools is the day that she shines. Her pranks can give anyone despair. But when she gets pranked by the others, she's not even mad. She loves it. Her favourite caretaker is Monokuma because he encourages her troubling behaviour.

Mukuro - Junko's twin sister and the quiet one of the two. She follows her sister everywhere, no matter what she's doing. Always on the look out to see if Jin or Monomi are coming. She is always holding a toy gun and uses this to keep anyone away from her sister even though her sister would never do the same. She's stealthy and usually spies on the other kids. The kid she spies on the most is Makoto ever since he smiled at her.

Leon - He likes to pretend like a bad boy but he's a softy. When his soft side is shown, he pretends to be talking about baseball, which is adorable. Speaking of baseball, he's very good at it. Liking it is another story. He likes to show off his athleticism but his passion is playing with Sayaka in the music corner.

Hiro - Oh, Hiro. Sweet, clueless Hiro. Being the older one of the group, he knows about more things than the rest, although no one can match Kyoko, Sakura, and Chihiro. He is not the brightest either. Not because he is not smart but he learns things differently. He is good with earning candy (and then wasting it). He uses his predictions to ask the others candy and surprisingly, his predictions always come true, just not in the way that he expects.

Sakura - Although she is the tallest and strongest, she's not the oldest but she is definitely the sweetest in class. Being the strong one, the other kids often hide behind her when Junko goes too far. She is willing to train anyone; no matter how small, how old, or their gender. She's 'dating' a boy from another daycare but she's very close to Hina, who she sees as 'almost a girlfriend'.

Sayaka - Is the cutest girl in the class and she knows it. She loves the attention she gets from guys like Leon and Makoto but with guys like Hifumi, she often just stands there and nods. She's best friends with Leon, who she often plays with, in the music corner but she is also quite close to Makoto.

Hina - She's the friendliest girl in class. When she becomes your friend, the only way to shake her off is to make her hate you by being mean to Sakura. Hina is obsessed with Sakura as much as she's obsessed with eating doughnuts and swimming. Speaking of swimming, she can often be found in the pool of the older kids and when she's feeling fussy, she will swim in the aquarium.

Celeste - Take a superiority complex and put it in a child. That's Taeko- I mean, Celeste's thing. She's often quiet and calm, sending Hifumi to do her bidding. It's not like Celeste wants to be friends with him. To be honest, she can't stand him but her, he's useful so she spends time with him. Don't be fooled by her cool demeanour though. She is an observer and knows how to catch you off guard. This is why Junko goes to her when she's planning a prank and gets paid with tea and biscuits. She's also an amazing liar. Perfect for card games; terrible when Jin wants to know what's going on. She loves learning about Europe and demons so to distract her, do that.

(The creator of this blog can't stand Hifumi but will try to make him a good character)

Hifumi - He is either writing, watching his favourite anime, or being Celeste's servant. He knows that Celeste can't stand him but it gives him an excuse to talk to anyone so he takes it. The only person who's nice to him is Makoto.

Kyoko - Although she's 'the daycare owner's daughter', she isn't that close to her father. Not out of contempt but more because that's simply her nature. She is only close to one person in the class and that is Makoto but only because Makoto wouldn't leave her alone. She doesn't mind spending time with him, she even likes it, but when Byakuya is there, she is quieter, not trusting him around Makoto. She will never admit that she also appreciate Togami's company.

Makoto - Two words; cinnamon roll. You know how Sakura is the sweetest girl in class? Makoto is the sweetest kid in class. He tries to get along with everyone. He even tries to be patient with Junko while all she wants to do is see him suffer. He's everyone's friend but the people he's the closest to are Byakuya, Sayaka, and Kyoko, who he has a huge crush on.

Toko - She is very anti-social. The daycare is the first time she has ever talked properly to children her age. Well, as properly as she could. She often assumes that the other dont like her and don't want her near them but this behaviour is why they often stay away from her. She prefers to write and read in a corner though. She often gets used as a servant by Byakuya but unlike Hifumi, she doesn't understand that he can't stand her

Togami - The typical tich kid. The only reason he's in the same class as the others are because his butler said it would be good for his social skill. Speaking of his butler, that's the only person he talks about as he can't stand his father. Togamk uses Toko like Celeste uses Hifumi but he knows that Toko does not know that he could not care less about her and uses this to his advantage. Makoto often tells him off for this but Togami always does his own thing. Speaking of Makoto, he only willingly spends time with Makoto and Kyoko, only being 'nice' to Makoto, denying and feelings for him.

I hope these descriptions were helpful! You can ask the Danganronpa kids anything appropriate. Enjoy!
