Hagakure x Kuwata, most known as Dabeapo, Hakuwa and/or Hagakureon, is a common pairing within Dangan Ronpa fandom. The ship is between Yasuhiro Hagakure and Leon Kuwata. While Hagakure is a prominent character within the series, Kuwata only played a major part in Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and its adaptations. It has been shipped since Trigger Happy Havoc was released in 2010.

Its pairing name in Japanese, Dabeapo, comes from Hagakure, who likes to add, "dabe," to the end of his lines, and Kuwata, who likes calling others "apo." In English, the closest equivalent to this pairing name may be, "manidiot." These two are paired more as friends than lovers, though romantic interpretations are common.

Both Japanese and English-speaking DR fandom have fanac for Hagakure x Kuwata.
