Monokuma (モノクマ^?, lit. Monobear) is the main antagonist of the series. He is a strange, remote-controlled teddy bear who proclaims himself to be the headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy and initiates a life of mutual killing among the students. He has various copies of himself throughout the academy and will punish anyone that attempts to attack him or breaks the academy's rules. As referenced by his name, he has a monochrome appearance with one half looking like a cute white bear and the other half looking like a sadistic black bear. The identity of Monokuma's controller, as well as his motives for bringing the students together, are the central mysteries that the students must investigate. It is revealed that Monokuma is actually a series of robots created by Monaca Towa for an army that Junko Enoshima used. In the first two games, Monokuma was used as a proxy for Junko in her trials; in Another Episode, he is a series of different types of enemies; in Danganronpa 3, he is under the control of Kazuo Tengan to force Ryota Mitarai into brainwashing the entire world for the sake of hope. He is the only returning character in Danganronpa V3 as a part of the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, now controlled by Tsumugi Shirogane and accompanied by the Monokuma Kubs.
