History: Background for Dangan Ronpa characters is pretty....sparse to say the least. But I will elaborate on what I can.
Chihiro is well known across the internet as a super hacker. He has broken into many places that he shouldn't be in and spends quite a lot of time on Japanese image boards. He works for his father, who runs a software company. The job he was doing before Dangan Ronpa starts was programming a fully sentient Artificial Intelligence. Apparently, he did sort of finish the job, making a computer program that could learn from others by speaking with them.
At some point in his childhood, Chihiro formed a complex where he saw men as macho awesome dudes and people kept telling him to stop being so weak. To keep from being ridiculed, he began to dress and act like a girl. That way, no one would make fun of him. He doesn't believe he is a girl and strives to be more 'macho' so he can become more of a man but generally fails. This will be more elaborated on in the personality since it's a key part of him.
At any rate, he is invited to Hope Academy due to his hacking skills and it quickly turns into the murderfest that is the game, all orchestrated by the enigmatic figured called Monobear. Unsurprisingly, Chihiro is killed rather early but not out of malice. He had befriended another student called Mondo who represented everything Chihiro wanted to be. While training to be more manly, Chihiro revealed to Mondo that he was a guy. Mondo grew jealous of Chihiro's newly found inner strength and thought that Chihiro was trying to trick him into revealing his deep dark secret. In blind anger, he killed Chihiro, ending his part in the story.
But before Chihiro was killed, using a decade old laptop, he managed to create an Artificial Intelligence called Alter Ego, a computerized version of Chihiro. It was his last testament.
Personality: One of the biggest and most stand out things about Chihiro is that he is a boy who dresses like a girl. It should be noted that Chihiro doesn't have any issues with his gender identity but, instead, dresses like a girl to hide from being ridiculed. The one thing Chihiro hates most is being picked on and since he's small and weak, he's often made fun of because he's not manly. Instead, he dresses like a girl so others won't have any expectations of him but that doesn't mean he likes it. Instead, it depresses him almost as much as being made fun of because he's fulfilling everyone's perception by running away from his problems instead of confronting them.
Despite that, Chihiro has an amazing inner strength. With all his failures at trying to be more 'manly', he doesn't just give up and calls it quits. Instead, he keeps trying and trying, causing himself more pain and depression along the way, but he still never gives up. It's that fortitude that is both a blessing and a bane. You see, Chihiro dislikes conflict. When someone rudely disagrees with him or makes fun of him, he breaks down into tears almost instantly. But Chihiro also wants to try his hardest at everything and not be useless. This causes problems within himself as neither side of him wants to make way for the other, making him feel even worse.
It is also remarked multiple times that Chihiro gets along much better with guys than girls. He fits in better with guys and that is what makes him so popular online among male dominated boards. All of the men using the internet see him as a girl who gets along with and understands the guys, making Chihiro something of an online idol among those who are shut ins. Among girls, Chihiro is often uncomfortable and finds it difficult to hold a conversation. This is mostly likely because he is a teenage guy and also socially awkward so he's suffering from normal guy problems. Either way, he looks up to both Sakura and Asahina, two other people at Hope Academy, because despite being girls, both are very strong and represent something he wants to be. But because they're girls, he has trouble relating to them, leaving him something of a nervous and slightly blushy mess.
Overall, Chihiro is a very gentle person who prefers to avoid the limelight as much as possible. He enjoys watching others succeed and it makes him happy because it lets him believe he can be like that too. He is unfortunately stuck in a never ending circle of failing but he'll continue trying to be a different person and change himself. That's what makes Chihiro, Chihiro.
