Hajime Hinata is the protagonist of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He is a student at Hope's Peak Academy's Reserve Course and lacks a specific talent, unlike the other students, which leads to an inferiority complex. He is a realist with a cynical outlook, but he also possesses kindness and a desire to help others. While he can be blunt and snarky, especially when annoyed, he's not malicious and genuinely cares about his classmates. He is a little tall and has short, somewhat spiky brown hair with an ahoge that moves according to his emotions along with some muscle.
