"It won't be just hope... There's a lot of despair out there, too... And I don't know what kind of future it'll become... But our future is ours! We're not going to leave it in anyone else's hands anymore!"—Hajime Hinata, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
-Name-
Hajime Hinata
-Age-
18 years old
-Character Alignment(Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic)(Good, Neutral, Evil)-
Lawful Good
-Personality-
Hajime is seemingly cynical due to how he behaves, but it would be better to describe him as a realist. He is quite skeptical and tends to worry more than the other students, but his worries are often very justified and understandable. He is a logical and smart person, often annoyed by the idea of not being able to understand someone or something at all. He tends to be quite serious, but he does joke around occasionally and often goes along with his classmates' eccentric hobbies.
Hajime can be snarky towards his classmates in his thoughts and he can be blunt at times, though he means well and he's more frank than sarcastic or mean-spirited. Though sometimes a bit submissive, he is not afraid to speak his mind. He is sometimes even a bit short-tempered and can snap at others, especially when he's tired or under pressure.
Still, Hajime is generally pleasant and easily exhibits kindness and thoughtfulness to others around him; he genuinely cares about everyone. Although he may have trouble understanding or relating to his classmates, he is tolerant of everyone's eccentric personalities and quirks and is always willing to listen and give advice. The official artbook reinforces this by stating that he spends his time talking with everyone and gets along great with both the girls and the guys. In Free Time Events, he makes even the most antisocial characters feel more relaxed and they often reveal things about themselves they wouldn't tell anyone else. Due to this particular trait, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu thinks that Hajime's talent might be Ultimate Counselor and Nagito Komaeda calls him Ultimate Serenity. Though he is glad to help, Hajime feels that a talent like Ultimate Counselor would be stressful.
It's also heavily implied that Hajime is romantically inexperienced, appearing somewhat shy and even naive about the topic. He once mentioned that he hadn't really thought about it and has never asked a girl on a date. However, during Free Time Events and especially during Island Mode, several characters appear to have romantic interest in Hajime and he sometimes responds by flirting, dating or even forming actual (non-canon) relationships with them.
Though a bit paranoid in the start of the game and not having much interest in friendship, Hajime later really wants to believe in his classmates and feels bad about doubting them during the class trials, but understands it's necessary. He sometimes regrets exposing the murderers, as shown after singling out the murderer in chapter 3.
Though he tries to hide it, Hajime is very insecure about his lack of talent and it bothers him deeply. This caused him to admire Hope's Peak Academy more than anything, as he believed that attending the school would fix his problem. He wished to be part of something bigger than himself, to become more confident and someone he can be proud of.
He felt bitter about being just a reserve course student.
Chiaki was the one who guided Hajime to see the reality that whether or not he had a talent was irrelevant. It was largely due to her support and encouragement that he was finally able to overcome despair and gain true confidence.
After Hajime awakens from the Neo World Program, he preserves his memories as Hajime Hinata. It's assumed that, because the shutdown sequence didn't overwrite his memories, he also maintains the memories of his life as Izuru Kamukura and Ultimate Despair. Still, he chooses to live as Hajime Hinata, and accepts that the future includes countless possibilities which can sometimes end in failure.
As of Side:Hope, it is revealed that Hajime and
Izuru's
personalities are mixed. While he can be like his normal Hajime self, when faced with adversaries, Hajime can switch to his
Izuru
persona rather quick.
Bio
Short or long, totally up to you)Ever since he was a kid, Hajime admired Hope's Peak Academy and dreamed of attending it. It was a big dream of his, like being a celebrity or a superhero. He was insecure about himself and wished to be part of something bigger than himself, to become someone he can be proud of. He felt that his life as a talent-less person was boring.
As a teen, Hajime indeed enrolled into Hope's Peak Academy (his previous high school being Kodaka High School), but into its
Reserve Department. As he had no talent, his parents had to pay a lot of money to get him into the school. However, as a talentless reserve course student, Hajime still felt like he was not good enough. This resentment towards Hajime's own incapability led to a strong desire to become a main course student.
The ambition-less attitude of the reserve school disagreed with him, and he often spent his time alone.Hajime's ambition eventually culminated in his participation
in the Izuru Kamukura Project, undergoing numerous operations to enhance his abilities. Upon agreeing to the Kamukura Project, his official record marked him as expelled. Inhumane experiments were then conducted on him, and his memories of his life up until that point were erased, both of which Hajime did not expect.
Hope's Peak Academy exploited Hajime's feelings of admiration toward hope and talent just to use him as a lab rat.
Hope's Peak Academy exploited Hajime's feelings of admiration toward hope and talent just to use him as a lab rat.
All of his senses, emotions, thoughts, and hobbies that could interfere with acquiring talent were excised. All of his memories of the past were forcefully suppressed into the darkest recesses of his mind. By directly interfering with his brain, the academy transformed Hajime into a completely different person whose specialty is talent itself. He was meant to be the fruit of all the research produced by Hope's Peak Academy's staff, a genius among geniuses possessing various talents, and he was named
Izuru Kamukura
after the academy's founder.
Izuru was known as the symbol of mankind's hope and he was given the title of Ultimate Hope. To protect such rare talent, the academy completely concealed all evidence of Izuru's origins and identity.
Equipment

Abilities
Separate Human like abilities and Special Abilities)Hajime originally had no talent, entering Hope's Peak Academyas a reserve course student, but he eventually received the title of Ultimate Hope after participating in the Izuru Kamukura Project - a brain alteration/augmentation program named afterthe school's founder designed to "create a genius out of the ordinary" - in which his original memories were erased. During this time, he was known as Izuru Kamukura.
Though besides that title, he can make even the most antisocial characters feel more relaxed and they often reveal things about themselves they wouldn't tell anyone else. Due to this particular trait, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu thinks that Hajime's talent might be Ultimate Counselor and Nagito Komaeda calls him Ultimate Serenity. Though he is glad to help, Hajime feels that a talent like Ultimate Counselor would be stressful.
