Danganronpa's first protagonist, Makoto Naegi joined Hope's Peak Academy upon being awarded the title of "Ultimate Lucky Student" after winning a lottery amongst other students. Makoto describes himself as a completely ordinary individual, not believing he possesses any significant talent or ability that would make him stand out from the crowd. However, one thing that does set him apart is his unique sense of optimism that keeps him going even during the toughest times of the death game forced upon him.

Voice type: Makoto has a mid-high male voice, please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Makoto.

Not much is initially known about Kyoko Kirigiri, this most definitely being a result of her reserved personality.

Voice type: Kyoko has a mid-low female voice, calm but assertive when needed. Please refer to this voice reference to guide you.

The 'Ultimate Affluent Prodigy' is known for his cold, self-centered personality. Byakuya Togami is not too interested in cooperating with others or working together as he tends to see other people as inferior to him. This most likely is a product of his highly competitive family life where he was taught it was every man for himself. Despite this, Byakuya does eventually give in and cooperate with Makoto and the others but not at the cost of his arrogant personality, though it becomes much more light-hearted to an extent.

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Byakuya.

"Sayaka has a cheerful, sweet, lighthearted, and supporting personality, expressing a kind demeanor and pleasant disposition, although it is unknown if this is only because of her status as an idol. She cares greatly for her band members, and would not hesitate to do something if anything were to happen to one of them, including things that could hurt others. When pushed to her limit, Sayaka will do anything to achieve the goals she sets out, however risky her actions may be. She has an amazing intuition, as she can easily tell what people are thinking. She often joked about being psychic, only to admit that she was kidding later on." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

"Behaving like a stereotypical delinquent, Mondo is foul-mouthed and can come off as a rude and intimidating individual. When Makoto first met Mondo he did his best to keep the conversation short, as he realized Mondo could become easily aggravated depending on what was said. He is very easy to provoke, and will not hesitate to resort to violence if he starts to lose his patience. This is shown during his interactions with Byakuya who acts condescendingly towards him, prompting Mondo to fight back without considering the consequences." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Mondo.

"Toko is intellectually gifted, yet she has problems in social behavior. It's been stated that she either never learned or never bothered to learn social skills. She even considers herself a 'gloomy outcast', often deciding to distance herself from others.

Due to the constant bullying she faced as a child, Toko is highly suspicious of other people, frequently accusing them of thinking bad things about her. She expresses her opinions freely and extremely, which can come across as mean and often rubs people the wrong way, though she claims she is just being honest. She has an unusually quick tendency to self-victimize and she refuses to believe compliments from other people. She also is very self-conscious about her body and tends to think that other people consider her ugly." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Genocide Jack.

"Yasuhiro is one of the more cheery, laid-back students, though a bit odd as well. Yasuhiro is quite gullible, and at first acts laid-back about the killing game, thinking it's some sort of a prank. However, after realizing it is real, he turns much more panicky and he is generally considered useless by the other students. Yasuhiro has quite a cowardly personality and often attempts to trick other people to get rid of his massive debts, charging incredibly high prices for his readings that, according to other people, often do not fit the accuracy of his fortune-telling." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Yasuhiro.

"As an experienced gambler, Celestia appears collected, cold, and cunning by nature. She possesses the ability to manipulate others to do her bidding and can lie with a perfectly straight face. Celestia believes in adaptability to be the key to survival, rather than strength or intellect, and she acts upon this by setting up measures such as the voluntarily imposed night-time curfew to protect the other students, as well as herself, from potential killers during the Killing School Life. Her mannerisms are strict, refined and her spoiled nature emphasizes this due to her aspiring to be like European royalty." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Celestia. Please note that getting her accent right is crucial.

"Hajime seems cynical at first glance, but it would be more accurate to describe him as a realist. He is quite skeptical and tends to worry more than the other students, but his worries are usually understandable. He is logical and keen, 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 and often goes along with his 'classmates' eccentric hobbies anyway, and sometimes smiles awkwardly and sheepishly while his friends engage in some of their usual weird behavior." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Hajime.

"Nagito has a laid-back and quite calm demeanor, and he is often smiling or laughing. However, his cheerfulness may not be entirely genuine, as his calmness is more akin to apathy and he tends to feel strong self-hatred. He remains cheerful even during his self-loathing rambling, and acts disturbingly optimistically toward horrible things such as death, as long as it's for the sake of hope."- Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice Type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Nagito.

"Kazuichi is a highly emotional character, though he tries to play it smooth and acts carefree at first. He is a very jumpy person, easily scared and often screaming in fear. People tend to note his intimidating appearance does not match his compulsive and cowardly personality. Naturally, he has a great fear of dying on the island, which causes a lot of stress and panic for him. Kazuichi has a tendency to neglect his need for a verbal filter and often blurts things out without thinking. He also seems to be a very bad liar, leading him to be contradictory at times. While he is a genius with machinery, he appears to be a bit slow-witted otherwise." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Kazuichi.

"Ibuki is a bit shocking and bold, with her unique personality and appearance. She is one of the most upbeat people out of her classmates. She is very energetic and loves to talk, though she almost always ends up going off on bizarre, unrelated tangents. She forgets things quite quickly, so she tries to write memos to help her remember.

"Gundham has an eccentric and somewhat dark personality, his delusions of self-grandeur likely stemming from an inferiority complex and chuunibyou syndrome. He claims that he was gifted with evil powers of the underworld, the result of "an angel and a devil" joining together. Gundham refers to other people as "pathetic human beings" and states that even the gods fear his abilities. He often rambles about his status as "The Supreme Overlord of Ice" and his interest in the dark arts, alchemy, and astral levels. Preferring to be alone, he prioritizes himself and taking care of the Devas over connecting with his classmates." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

"Sonia is a cheerful and polite girl with a great interest in Japanese culture. Being a princess, she takes a great interest in many rather ordinary things as well, such as cleaning and even the Japanese restrooms, due to not being familiar with them. She firmly wishes to be treated like a normal Japanese high school girl and her big goal is to have friends of her own age and status. Due to being a foreigner, she occasionally messes up figures of speech and has a tendency to use very outdated slang in an attempt to socialize with her fellow students.

"Peko has a serious demeanor, expressing very little emotion. Due to this aura, she often comes off as intimidating. She is neither impolite nor an antisocial person though she dislikes being in a crowd. She had no qualms about attending the party in chapter one, and furthermore apologizes for what she felt was a failing on her part due to her believing the power went out because she was not guarding the room it was in. She comes off as cold but this isn’t because she means to." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Peko.

"Mahiru is a sensible and optimistic girl who is generally rather calm and unafraid to speak her mind. She initially comes off as confident but is later revealed to have self-esteem issues.

"Teruteru is very lewd and usually can be seen hitting on anyone near him, male and female alike, often to the point of sexual harassment. When he is not making innuendos or hitting on someone, Teruteru is shown to be decently friendly and relatively upbeat. He takes great pride in his cooking, insistently telling other people to call him 'Ultimate Chef' instead of 'Ultimate Cook', as it 'gives off a more urban feeling'. He tries to create an image of a stylish urban person, sometimes even telling lies about his life and acting somewhat arrogant.

"Shuichi appears to have quite a serious and polite personality. He often has negative remarks, frequently blushes and suffers from a cold sweat. With his unsure demeanor, he has a tendency to assume that other people can do things better than him, and he comes across as quite unreliable at first glance. Among the sixteen students, he is a boy who stands out for his submissiveness but also for his level-headedness. Even though he is a very skilled detective with superior ability and insight, Shuichi lacks self-confidence, as he claims he hasn't accomplished enough to be called a famous detective. However, Shuichi can also have a stronger attitude at times when the situation calls for it." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Shuichi.

"Kokichi describes himself as an evil supreme leader, and often claims that this title is the reason behind many of his questionable actions as if he is expected to fulfill his role. He is an elusive and manipulative person who unabashedly tells lies and says whatever he's thinking. He is also strangely straightforward about his supposed evil nature, openly claiming to be a leader of a large secret society, admitting to being a liar, and saying he has done nothing but bad things. Among other things, his organization supposedly has covert agents in every country, control over all the mafias in the world, torture as a form of punishment, and Kokichi's defeated opponents apparently will get sent to Siberia. However, none of his claims have been confirmed, and the other students think he's either lying or delusional." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

His aim is to overcome being an ordinary robot and because of this, he may get offended if he is compared to much more simple machines.

Nevertheless, he is shown to have more patience than others with some eccentric students like Kokichi Ouma and Miu Iruma, having a tendency to just laugh off some of the potentially hurtful things they say.

He tends to stay calmer than the others during dire situations. As for him, it's an opportunity to observe.

Voice type: Please refer to this voice reference when auditioning for Korekiyo.

"Miu is described as an oddball, having an overly confident, loud personality and a frighteningly sharp tongue. She considers herself a beautiful genius, and every time she opens her mouth she spews a parade of reckless vulgar remarks and insults, strongly putting pressure on others and looking down on them. However, Miu's arrogant personality seems to be only a mask that can drop fairly easily. This often happens when her festival of coarse language and dirty jokes actually get replied to or ignored. Then, her personality quickly changes into a timid coward, who is terrified of other people being angry with her. Because of this, she has a charm similar to an innocent child." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki

Being a self-proclaimed introvert, she also tends to ignore people while she's in her thoughts, no matter how many times they try talking to her, and appears rather distant at times. While Tsumugi is the Ultimate Cosplayer, she only enjoys making costumes, not wearing them, as she is not really fond of people looking at her. However, she hates using cosplayers who care more about standing out than the love of the characters, so she wears her own costumes as well but with love." - Danganronpa Fandom Wiki
