Susumu Nakano

Susumu Nakano is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 79th, and a participant of the Killing Game featured in Danganronpa 4.5 Despair Excursion. His title is Super Highschool Level Crytpozoologist.

Personality
Susumu is a kind person, he enjoys the company of others and has a strong energy that brings others together. They have a tendency to make himself appear stupid or naive in order to help people without hurting their ego.

Susumu dislikes cruel people, or those who act without care for others, but they don't actively go out of their way to spite them, instead trying to act with empathy and understand the others situation- even though that is difficult for them and they end up snapping if pushed too far.

Appearance
Susumu loves pockets, and their outfit reflects this with a vest, hip pack, and shorts that all have deep pockets for him to store hunting equipment in. He wears a lot of camo to "blend in" if it weren't for the fact he was wearing it all the time to look cool. Susumu's socks have a tendency of falling down and he just kind of gave up on fixing them. His nails are painted a different color often but he typically sticks with black, painting over the last color instead of cleaning it off. The bandages on their hands are explained by them as being because they're so clumsy.

Talents & Abilities
Susumu is really good at picking up on things otherwise unnoticed, following trails, but is really shabby at hiding or stalking. It's unclear how he's managed to get so far with his cryptozoology career when he can't move five feet without making a ridiculous amount of noise.

Life Before The Killing Game
Susumu used to be an extremely active member on Cryptid Forums internationally, but got many, many reports and eventually banned after posting real pictures of cryptids. The other forum members didn't believe any of his photographs and constantly drove him off of the website for not taking anything seriously, making jokes out of everyone. This drove Susumu to make his own blog, where he'd detail his hunts and post images and videos of sightings. Unfortunately, this also turned out to be wildly unpopular, but they continued posting on it as often as possible.

Scouted For Hope's Peak
Susumu posted a video of tsuchinoko captioned 'tsuchinoko real', and his blog was reported many, many times- he decided to take a break from cryptid hunting to focus on his schoolwork, and a few months later, Susumu was contacted by Hope's Peak, as having one of the most reliable and clear camera footage of the tsuchinoko to date, along with all the other information on his blog, granting them the title of Super Highschool Level Cryptozoologist.
