Kiyotaka Ishimaru... how do I begin to explain Kiyotaka Ishimaru.
Headmaster: Kiyotaka Ishimaru is an amazing student. Student #1: I hear his hair is naturally that spiky. Student #2: I hear he's been offered a spot this year... at Hope's Peak Academy. Teacher #1: His most prized possession is his prefectual badge of honor! Student #3: One time he met a minister of defense at a rally... Teacher #2: And he told him he was admirable. Student #4: One time he gave me detention... it was awesome.
There is nothing more important to Kiyotaka Ishimaru than his passion for adhering to the laws of justice and retaining order with his fellow classmates. He prioritizes "simplicity and fortitude" above all else. He supports hard work and extraneous effort, which is exactly what he's put himself through to attain the top spot in his class ranking, and therefore earning his title of "Super High School Level Hall Monitor". Which is what he is, a hall monitor, an advocate of school spirit and good behavior towards all.
He's a major stickler for rules; the first time Naegi introduces himself to the group, after wandering into the entrance hall, Ishimaru points out that Naegi is late and thus has been holding everyone up; he then declares that this tardiness will be reported to the school officials as soon as possible. The fact that they've all arrived in this particular part of the school in such a strange manner certainly isn't enough to phase Ishimaru. After all, his focus is primarily on being the best he can be in his current learning environment.
Despite his laudable success in the disciplinary field, Ishimaru can prove to be a little ungraceful, specifically with his social skills. He doesn't seem to grasp what a "normal" conversation is (in fact, he believes all conversations should be "short and to the point"), and expects everyone to follow suit introduction-wise. He does possess a sense of humor, however, although this "humor" appears to be more awkward in taste than what is usually perceived as funny. He's extremely histrionic in his actions and gestures, as he tends to over-dramatize nearly everything. He's very lively and will not hesitate to point, laugh, and shout with true inner intensity. This attitude and constant enthusiasm is described as "tiresome" by Naegi.
It's likely his obsession with rules and order prevent him from fully understanding other human beings and their actions on most fronts. Needless to say, he's not a people person. He believes everything has a set "time and place", and that cooperation can get anyone anywhere, which would actually be more ideal if they weren't all trapped in a barred school of despair with the only way out being to kill each other. It's not as though he's completely unrealistic, in fact, he's just got far too much mercy in him for his own good. When he comes off as insensitive, it's usually thanks to his inability to grasp that not everyone acts in a certain written manner, or looks a certain way (which is why he mistakenly calls Sakura a boy when she is really a girl).
As Ishimaru is already a model student, he finds it his job to take action as a leader and influence his fellow classmates to follow his set example. To achieve this, he remains entirely optimistic throughout the game, giving pep talks whenever they may or may not be needed, and reassuring every one of his classmates of the reality of the situation: that if they work hard and work together, justice will always win in the end. For this reason, he knocks on everyone's doors one morning to gather them all for breakfast, firmly believing that eating together will unite them more than ever. He's faithful and righteous, something he hopes he never has to give up, even at the threat of true despair.
Abilities: Aside from being loud and awfully animated, he's got no supernatural abilities to note, as of now. But he's a goal-orientated person! Very supernatural, indeed. Other: He's got really thick eyebrows that could probably pierce hell.
[ His voice bellows, far too close to the speaker. ]
I can't be certain this is on...
[ He shuffles, and with a small ahem he moves a bit farther from the mouthpiece, enabling his voice to become more audible. ]
Good afternoon, students of Holly Heights! Oh yes, and civilians in general: listen carefully, for this might apply to you! I am speaking to you all today on behalf of the one-man disciplinary committee of Altaciere High School. Yes, I did assign myself to this position! No, that is not important!
The committee has come to a mutual agreement regarding the general hygiene of school students. But, as always, I believe that good hygiene is necessary for all forms of life. Big and small! Student or no student! Anyway, the decision has been made to enforce a hygienic code for everyone between the ages of 0 and 84!
What does this mean for you? Well... for one thing, no more nose picking! Please resist all urges to scratch the inside of your nostrils, for fear of boogers and the germs they spread! Secondly, please take showers at least once a day! If you are not able to shower for whatever reason whatsoever, please resist all urges to tell anyone that! Use perfume! Deodorant! Highbrow wigs from the French Revolution! Anything to ensure that all walks of life will not be disgusted by putrid human odor!
If none of the above requirements are met, understand that there will be consequences!! You might be forced to drink from the warm water fountains around the school. Or worse: dog "duty" clean-up!
I hope I have made myself clear. Thank you for your time! This has been a public service announcement from your very own, Kiyotaka Ishimaru!
Third Person:
Like any respectable signature student would upon receiving word regarding a lack of volunteers at the local library, Kiyotaka Ishimaru nominates himself for the nighttime bookkeeping leadership position at the Paru Prose.
It's easy enough for the older ladies who manage the library to accept him into the position with open arms. After all, he is the perfect model student with plenty of recommendations, and should he had remembered to bring these elderly ladies a few of the cat magnets he had found on his refrigerator to the library on his first day of volunteering, they'd probably let him eat lunch with them in the managerial break room, which might've been ideal. After all, since Ishimaru makes it his sole duty to organize the few other student volunteers into an orderly conduct by imposing a set lunchtime and set breaktime for every single one of them, he's gotten himself unknowingly labeled as "Ishimaru Hard-aru", a name thrown around a lot majorly when he's not looking.
(Because even when he's looking, he doesn't notice. Most of the student volunteers have accepted it as him being too lenient, at this point. Or oblivious. They argue about it sometimes.)
His job usually involves pesky numbers and figuring, which he doesn't find too difficult most of the time. Paperwork isn't actually the problem, unless it's paperwork with a smile. He can bring coffee. He can run errands. When it gets to the small talk, and if the other person isn't afraid of being blunt, he might hear "overwhelming", or "???", or even "..." used once or twice. He can sort of sense it, mostly. Which is something to work on, of course.
