Chiaki Nanami

Chiaki Nanami (Japanese: 七海 千秋, Hepburn: Nanami Chiaki) is a fictional character from Spike's 2012 visual novel Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Formally known as the Ultimate Gamer (超高校級の「ゲーマー」, Chō-kōkō-kyū no "Gēmā", lit. Super High School Level Gamer), Chiaki initially appears as an apparent high school student trapped with fifteen other students in the Jabberwock Island chain, where an omnipresent robotic bear named Monokuma forces the student to participate in a killing game in exchange for freedom. She can bond with the protagonist Hajime Hinata in both social life gameplay and the main storyline before her true persona is revealed as the artificial intelligence observer daughter of Chihiro Fujisaki, and the younger sister of Alter Ego and Usami / Monomi. Chiaki makes a cameo appearance in two episodes of the anime series Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, with an unrelated identical character, the visual basis for her design, appearing in the prequel Despair Arc as a student who bonds with Hajime as well as serving as unknowing instigator behind the creation of Izuru Kamukura and foundation of Ultimate Despair.

Chiaki was created by writer Kazutaka Kodaka as the game's heroine, with her traits being based on those of "the ideal woman." She is voiced by Kana Hanazawa in Japanese and Christine Marie Cabanos in English. Critical response to Chiaki has been highly positive due to her role in the Goodbye Despair narrative as she takes a major impact in the class trials and her comfort provided to the main character, to the point of being cited as one of the best characters. The parallels between Chiaki and her human counterpart in the anime series also earned a mixed to positive response.
