Kiibo is a popular character in the Dangan Ronpa series. He debuted in Dangan Ronpa V3: Killing Harmony.
In the official English translation, his name is localized as K1-B0, though fans call him Kiibo far more often than K1-B0.
Canon Background
Kiibo has two different canonical backstories, as The Mastermind of the Killing Game in V3 is said to have fabricated one for him before the start of the game.
Whether Kiibo's personality was actually fabricated or not is never stated as fact, however, fitting with the game's truth vs. fiction theme. There's been plenty of meta on the subject.
Fabricated Personality
TBA
Pre-Game Personality
Kiibo was an average teenage boy as well as a massive fan of the Dangan Ronpa series, an in-universe reality TV show. He auditioned for the show's 52nd season (stylized as V2) and made the cut to participate in a killing game. In fanworks, this is considered to be his pre-game personality. Like with every other V3 student, all of this info is filtered by Tsumugi Shirogane, and fans may not believe this part of his character is canonical.
Popular Tropes & Fanon
- Human Kiibo: popular AU where he's human rather than machine.
- Nonbinary Kiibo: popular headcanon, particularly that he's Agender, due to him being a robot. Canonically, he also struggles with his identity, saying he's never "thought about" if he was a boy or not before Tenko Chabashira asked if he was.[1] This might not have been the case in the Japanese release though. They/Them Pronouns for Kiibo is also popular as a sub-trope.
- Pre-Game Kiibo: as elaborated above.
- Confused Kiibo: in-tune with his canon and fanon characterization.
- Poor Kiibo: common in angst and hurt/comfort works, as well as canon compliant ones.
