IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Kazuichi Souda Age: 18 Canon: Dangan Ronpa Canon Point: End of Chapter 2 Species: Human Gender: Male Orientation: Heterosexual. He only ever expresses interest in women, and that interest is expressed pretty frequently.
In addition, from his free time events, we learn that Souda came from a poor family and was often bullied and excluded because of it. He avoided all of his class trips, as well, and was beaten by his father for staying home. Souda never had any friends in school, except for one who he later found out was using him to get better grades, and who he was eventually betrayed by. He completely changed his image in the hopes that it would make others accept him.
Personality: Souda was once a shy, quiet kid focused on his grades and his interest in mechanics. He wasn’t outgoing enough to really make friends, and most of the people who knew him bullied him anyways. After the one person he thought was his friend betrayed him, he decided to reinvent himself in a way that he hoped would make him more popular. In addition to changing his style looks-wise, he became more talkative, social, and assertive. However, he didn’t manage to change himself completely and underneath the façade his old self still remains – sometimes pretty obviously. While he talks to others frequently and at first just seems to be a friendly, laid-back guy, he is awkward when it comes to many types of interaction and often says something inappropriate or something that just makes him look clueless. He doesn’t really take hints or respond to social cues that well, which sometimes just makes him look awkward and other times makes people uncomfortable. And, while he tries to be assertive and sometimes aggressive, he’s easily upset by confrontation and usually ends up either begging for forgiveness or running away if he gets in over his head.
Along with his lack of social awareness, Souda is not a good liar and is about as subtle as a brick to the face. He tries to lie, but gets visibly nervous if anyone even remotely alludes to the topic he was lying about and ends up getting himself caught. He’s also very emotionally expressive and is not good at hiding it. It’s always pretty obvious what mood he’s in at any given time, even if he tries to say otherwise. In both friendships and (attempted) romantic relationships, he can be a little too forward and enthusiastic to the point where it’s off-putting, and though he can seem pretty relaxed in some situations – even situations where others are wary, such as being brought to Jabberwock Island in the first place - it doesn’t take much to get a big reaction out of him.
Souda is very opinionated on the subject of trust. Due to his previous friend’s betrayal, he’s inclined to be suspicious and accuse people of lying. During trials, he tends to question what the others say and is often the one to point out that someone might not be telling the truth. Once the mutual killing starts, he’s afraid that anyone could be out to kill him and thus tries to avoid interaction with others for a while (it doesn’t help that certain people and robotic bears constantly make jokes about his demise). Despite his initial wariness, those who are kind to him or make somewhat of an effort to befriend him can gain his trust pretty easily and once they do he is very clingy but also quite loyal. Even if his eagerness can be grating at times, he’s also someone who keeps his promises, genuinely tries to be a good friend, and wouldn’t betray his friends because he knows how badly betrayal hurts.
Due to his attempts at a more aggressive personality and his lack of social skills, he can sometimes come off as rude or insulting – usually unintentionally. He can come off as inconsiderate, too, but it’s often because he’s unaware that someone doesn’t like what he’s doing (though he’s no saint; he’s willing to push people if he thinks he can get away with it). He tries to be thoughtful and helpful in his own way, too, and makes an effort to use his mechanical expertise to help the others on the island as much as he can despite the fact that nearly everything about the situation terrifies him.
He is intelligent (despite not always acting like it), though he’s definite book smart rather than street smart. He enjoys learning new things and is curious about how things work, though he might devote a little too much of his time to machines (but if he didn’t, he probably wouldn’t be the Super High School Level Mechanic). He has an extremely in-depth knowledge of mechanics and is able to improvise well, too, taking the knowledge he’s gained already and applying is successfully to machines he hasn’t yet worked on. He seems to have a very good memory for details as well, and is able to know something inside-and-out if he’s passionate enough about it.
Abilities: As he’s the Super High School Level Mechanic, he can build, repair, or modify a large variety of machines and electronics.
