Ishimaru x Mondo, most known as Ishimondo and/or ZokuFuuki, is a popular pairing within Dangan Ronpa fandom. The ship is between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Mondo Oowada, both semi-prominent characters. It has been shipped since Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was released in 2010 and has been consistently popular since then.

Their ship name in Japanese, 族風紀 (ZokuFūki), comes from both characters' talents. Oowada is a Bōsōzoku, which is similar to a biker outlaw, written as 暴走, and Ishimaru is a member of the Public Morals Committee, a common high school club in Japan, written as 風紀委員. When together, they form ZokuFūki.

Common Tropes

  • Enemies to Lovers: Canonically, they became enemies to friends. Oowada's outlaw attitude clashes greatly with Ishimaru's rule-abiding nature until they come to an understanding. Related is Idiots to Lovers, which they are when Ishimaru x Mondo is shipped.
  • Denial and Confessions: Very common, since both are the repressive type.
  • The Sauna Scene: Many fanworks delve deeper into what happened during the sauna scene or may diverge from canon, since we only see the beginning and ending of it through Makoto Naegi. Some fanworks take heavily from the manga, which is official and explores this scene in depth as well.
  • Pre-Canon: May also be Non-Despair AU and/or High School AU. It makes for a lot less angsty material compared to canon. Related are Spin the Bottle and Seven Minutes in Heaven AUs.
  • Height Difference: Oowada is taller, Ishimaru is shorter.
  • Mastermind!Ishimaru AU: In many Mastermind AU works for Ishimaru, Oowada may be his lackey. Their love can be reciprocal or one sided on Oowada's side, having a dynamic very different from canon.
