Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta

Fukawa's DID / MPD

Spine Chunsoft's depiction of her DID is considered once of the most inaccurate and harmful in modern media. Dangan Ronpa's popularity despite this mishandling of DID sparked much discussion of the disorder in the 2010s, particularly on Tumblr and Amino.

Relationships

  • Fukawa's most popular pairing is with Komaru Naegi, which is F/F, aka Girls' Love. In Japanese, this is most often called こま腐, meaning Naegi is the tachi and Fukawa is the neko in the coupling. It is one of the most popular F/F relationships in all of Danganronpa fandom.
  • Fukawa is also shipped with Byakuya Togami, which is F/M, aka NL. In Japanese, this is called 十腐, meaning Togami attacks and Fukawa receives in the coupling. Fukawa's one-sided crush for him was consistent throughout most of Trigger Happy Havoc.

Less Popular Relationships

This is purposefully an incomplete list, as Fukawa is shipped with much of Dangan Ronpa's cast. In Kanji, Fukawa is usually represented in a pairing names with 腐 (fu). In Hiragana, うふ (fu) 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.
