Ishimaru may be considered a woobie with how angsty fanworks can be for him, though this is supported by canon. He is also popular for self-shipping works.
Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta

Who is Kiyondo Ishida?
Kiyondo Ishida was made out of grief by Ishimaru. After the execution of Mondo Oowada, he supposedly fused souls with him to create an amalgamation of himself and Oowada, named Ishida in the Japanese release and Kiyondo in the official English translation. Fanworks may feature Ishida to keep with canon or explore AUs where he (they?) exists separately from Ishimaru. There are AUs where they are twins or otherwise related. Some even ship them together romantically.
Isihida is often mentioned to fuel the Ishimaru x Mondo ship.

Relationships
- Ishimaru's most popular pairing is with Mondo Oowada, which is M/M, aka Boys' Love. In Japanese, this is most often called 族風紀, meaning Oowada attacks and Ishimaru receives in the coupling. It is the most popular M/M relationship in all of Trigger Happy Havoc fandom.
- See Ishimaru x Mondo for more.
- Ishimaru is also shipped with Makoto Naegi, which is M/M, aka Boys' Love. In Japanese, this is most often called 苗石 (Naeishi), meaning Naegi attacks and Ishimaru receives in the coupling. The opposite is also occasionally shipped and is called 石苗.
- See Ishimaru x Naegi for more.
- The Oowada Sandwich, a gen (combi in Japanese) relationship between him, Mondo Oowada, and Chihiro Fujisaki, is also popular. In Japanese, this trio is called [x].
- Kiyotaka also has a named and characterized father, Takaaki Ishimaru. In fanworks, he may be portrayed as unsupportive of Ishimaru x Mondo, though as of the 2020s, this seems to no longer be a given in DR fannish spaces. Most tag fanworks for them as Kiyotaka & Takaaki on websites such as Archive of Our Own. In Japanese, this relationship is called [x].
Less Popular Relationships
This is purposefully an incomplete list, as Ishimaru is shipped with much of Dangan Ronpa's cast. In Kanji, Ishimaru is usually represented in a pairing names with 石 (ishi). For Katakana, it's usually イシ (ishi). In Hiragana, いし (ishi) is common.
The order seen should be what's most popular unless marked with "possibly." ENG portmanteaus are also subject to change. Relationships listed fall into GL, NL, BL, Poly, Combi or Cargo.
| With... | Full Label | Type | Portmanteau / Phrase | Kanji | Hiragana or Katakana | Information |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Celestia Ludenberg | Celeste x Ishimaru | NL | Ishiceles, Ishiles | セレ石 (Sereishi) | せれいし (Sereishi) | Both have monochromatic color schemes with splashes of red and gold. Concave and Convex. This is a Murderer x Victim (Dangan Ronpa trope) ship, though Celeste killing Ishimaru was indirect and through Hifumi Yamada. |
| Leon Kuwata | Ishimaru x Kuwata | BL | Ishileon | n/a | n/a | Concave and Convex, as Kuwata is brash and rude while Ishimaru likes to play by the rules. Interestingly, Kuwata's dislike of baseball is a big positive for Ishimaru and his dislike of geniuses, should Kuwata actually commit to becoming a musician. |
| Chihiro Fujisaki | Fujisaki x Ishimaru | BL | Chishimaru | n/a | n/a | Some fanarts have Fujisaki wear Ishimaru's outfit. |
| Aoi Asahina | Asahina x Ishimaru | NL | Ishihina | 石朝 (Ishiasa) | possibly いしあさ (Ishiasa) | Asahina and Ishimaru may both bond over being in same-sex relationships in fanworks, (Asahina x Oogami and Ishimaru x Mondo.) These two ships are the most popular GL and BL ships respectively in Trigger Happy Havoc fandom. Both are non-canonical. Asahina x Ishimaru is rarer than the platonic version of their relationship in fanac. |
| Mukuro Ikusaba | Ikusaba x Ishimaru | NL | Ishikuro | 風紀と軍人 (Soldiers and Morals) | ふうきとぐんじん (Fuuki and Gunjin) | Both have monochromatic color schemes and follow strict personal codes. Concave and Convex in that Ishimaru is loud while Ikusaba is often silent. |
| Syo | Ishida & Syo | Combi | n/a | n/a | n/a | Both are frequently drawn together. Both are considered, "alternates," to existing characters. |
| Toko Fukawa | Fukawa x Ishimaru | NL | Ishitoko | n/a | n/a | Both are studious, though otherwise have contrasting personalities. Fukawa's interests may freak Ishimaru out. |
| Byakuya Togami | Ishimaru x Togami | BL | Togaishi | 十石 (Toishi) | といし (Toishi) | Both are studious, though otherwise have contrasting personalities. This ship is more common in Japanese DR fandom than western DR fandom. |
