IC INFORMATION Character’s Name: Ibuki Mioda Age: 18 (for all intents and purposes; the characters are a few years older than the average Japanese first-year) Canon: Dangan Ronpa (Super Dangan Ronpa 2) Canon Point: End of Chapter 2 Species: Human Gender: Female Orientation: Ibuki’s orientation is not explicitly shown in canon; however, there are hints towards a possible affection for another male character, and there is an ending in the bonus game in which the male protagonist can begin a relationship with her. It seems her preference would lean towards men.
History: Major SDR2 spoilers ahead! Here's a wiki link to a complete summary of the game and a link to a vastly more condensed synopsis of the game on TVTropes.
With particular regards to Ibuki’s role in the story, she lends a hand in solving the first murder with her exceptional hearing and is murdered by Mikan relatively early in Chapter 3. Her actual history is not individually expounded upon; rather, it only extends back as far as the other students', so there is not much to specifically say for her in regards to her history.
(A minor note before I go on: there are two major ongoing translations of SDR2. I’ll be basing this app off of elements from both translations; however, any quotes or examples of Ibuki’s speech patterns are taken from Tumblr user kuzuhiko’s abridged translation.)
The first word that may come to mind when one thinks of Ibuki is “eccentric.” The way she visually presents herself, her speech mannerisms, her behaviors, and her general mindset are certainly unorthodox for a high school student, especially one admitted to such a prestigious institution as Hope’s Peak Academy.
Ibuki approaches everything and everyone with an unwavering sense of enthusiasm and excitability. She is easily worked up and her speech habits reflect this:
❝Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghuu….! Everything is teeming with mysteries!❞
Ibuki takes very little seriously, even in such a hostile environment as the Jabberwock Islands during the period of mutual killing among the students. She is rarely seen depressed or morose in any way, and it would seem that her cheerfulness is enough to propel her through such otherwise distressing times. However, she is still capable of reacting in a somewhat appropriately serious manner when truly unsettling events occur, such as when the students discover that their memories had been removed:
❝Ahaha…hah..hahahaha, haha….does that even make sense…Ibuki only just arrived in Hope’s Peak, and straight after that Ibuki was dragged to this island…❞
Ibuki’s social filter is slightly lacking, and she is prone to blurting out rude or inappropriate things. When one of her classmates, Mikan, trips and much of her lower body is left exposed, Ibuki goads the photographer of the group on to take a picture:
❝Uuhyohyohyohyohyo!! This kills the Ibuki…! Mahiru, this is your chance-!❞
Despite her often-times awkward remarks, Ibuki truly means well. A prominent example of this in canon is the fact that Ibuki genuinely respected her fellow student Togami despite his being mocked by other characters for his weight and general attitudes. She even goes so far as to comment that Togami would not have been the same wonderful person that he was if he had been thinner; that is, he was perfect just the way he was. This is generally reflective of Ibuki’s attitudes towards people as a whole -- disregarding the occasional careless remark, she accepts people for who they are, faults and all, without making any judgments.
A second example of this would the instance at the beginning of Chapter 3 in which Ibuki performs at a celebration for Kuzuryuu’s recovery from his injuries sustained during Peko’s execution. Ibuki happily allows Chiaki and Saionji to join her during this show. Kuzuryuu and Saionji are arguably two of the most abrasive characters in the game, with the former playing a role in another student’s murder albeit indirectly, yet Ibuki still readily associates with them and shows no true disgust or aversion for them as multiple other characters do.
Another prominent character of Ibuki’s is her pride in her individuality. She places great emphasis on her presentation and style and has no qualms about bragging about either.
❝Teehee, Ibuki has not only a good face, style and personality, but also her good hearing-!❞
She is aware of the fact that others might find her style irritating or alienating; however, she would much rather follow what she believes to be right for herself than what others say she should be. Ibuki is willing to take the risk of quitting her music club and pursuing a solo career if it means she will have the opportunity to explore her own creativity and ideas instead of catering towards talent scouts; she simply refuses to compromise herself for anyone else.
Ibuki is a character who hides nothing and stays true to herself no matter who she is around. Despite her undeniable moments of awkwardness, she treats everyone with the same degree of chirpiness and sincerity, no matter who they may be or how they act towards her. Above all, her upbeat demeanor should not be taken to mean that she does not approach her own identity and uniqueness with utmost seriousness.
Abilities: Ibuki was admitted to Hope’s Peak Academy as a Super High School Level Light Music Club Member whose record sold a million copies; with this in mind, it stands to reason that Ibuki’s musical abilities are outstanding (although considering her chosen genre of death metal, this could be considered subjective). As well, it is stated in the middle of Chapter 1’s investigation that Ibuki has exceptional hearing and is capable of picking up the fine details of whispered conversations and can easily distinguish between individuals’ voices.

[ There’s some wild fumbling with the recorder and some curious muttering until the camera finally settles upon a close-up of one very excited pair of fuchsia eyes. ]
Hellooooo! I-bu-ki Mi-o-da here! Is anybody there? Hajime-chan? Nagito-chan? Aaaaanybody...? Wait a second...
[ A pause as she adjusts the camera so that her entire face is visible. ]
Ooooh, this is no good. Ibuki’s going to get whiplash if she keeps getting stuck in places like this! Maybe it’s a good thing, though! At least Ibuki is away from all that icky murder business now, and she’s sure Hajime-chan and the others will show up soon anyway. And it looks like she gets to play house with some others for a while, too! That sounds like it’ll be fun!
[ She beams and waves enthusiastically. ]
Anyhoo, Ibuki Mioda -- that’s me! Don’t forget it! Let’s get along and become good friends! Oh, and before she forgets, does anyone know where Ibuki can get her hands on a guitar? She hasn’t played in so long, her fingers are going to fall off at this rate...! Huehuehue!
Is that it? Ibuki thinks that’s it. Maybe she’s missing something...oh weeeell! Ibuki is sure she’ll meet everyone soon!
Third Person:
She’s been through this before; in fact, she had still been going through it when she was suddenly whisked away to some scenic, isolated pocket of the world yet again.
Ibuki isn’t surprised anymore.
She sits down on the porch of what she can only assume is her new permanent home. There’s nothing out of the ordinary on the surface -- then again, isn’t that how it started on Jabberwock Island? Nothing was out of the ordinary then before things spun out of control.
“Oooh, what should Ibuki do...” she mutters, running her tongue over her labrets and chewing her lip. None of them are here as far as she can tell; not Hajime, not Nagito, not even Usami or Monokuma.
She’s well and truly on her own.
The people here can’t be that bad. The circumstances can’t be that much worse than what they were on the island. At the very least, it looks like she’ll be able to sleep without the fear of one of her friends being brutally murdered lingering at the back of her mind. She can make the most of this. If she showed up here without warning, then it would stand to reason that the others could join her soon -- right?
There’s a new town, new friends, new opportunities sitting right here in front of her. No matter how bizarre things may seem, that isn’t a reason to be afraid of them.
Ibuki grips the recorder with resolve and grins, planting her feet firmly on the concrete steps of the porch.
She’ll do what she does best: she’ll make the most of it.
