Roku Date

Roku Date 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.Their title is Super Highschool Level Reporter.

Appearance
Date is average height, with short, black hair that they constantly attempt to slick back despite the fact it always falls forwards again. They dress rather sloppily, shirt half unbuttoned/untucked and tie always on the verge of coming undone.

Personality
Date tends to come across as rather cold and uncaring, not making the effort to sugar coat their words rather than get directly to the point. While not being particularly open about it, they don't hide the fact they will mildly change their opinions and behavior on a surface level in a favorable way to the person they're trying to receive information from.

They consistently insist that everything they do is for a good story, letting that explain away all of their actions within the Killing game.

Life Before the Killing Game
Date became quickly well known, and unpopular, for their ability to share and spread information in a heartbeat. When they were younger they would find out secrets of their classmates and spread them around the school, the second they were old enough to get into a journalism club/the school paper it was saved from the brink of extinction. Date knew how to source the most interesting stories- at the expense of any relationship they had. They would sell out even their closest "friends" for a good scoop, until people realized better than trying to befriend them.

Scouted for Hope's Peak
Date was scouted for Hope's Peak when they attempted to do a news story on the history of the academy, and was instead accepted into the school on an agreement to not publish the story.
