Kokichi Oma is one of the 16 students in
Danganronpa V3. He is "The
Ultimate Supreme Leader". Although he pushes others away from him through lies and manipulation, it is implied he does so to make his sacrifice less hurtful. It is also implied he has a crush on the protagonist, Shuichi Saihara. Despite consistent hints and ploys alluding to Kokichi being the mastermind, it is revealed Kokichi lied in order to try to stop the game, as he "does not like games that you are forced to play". Kokichi is shown to be
quite intelligent, as not only is he able to make quick, cunning lies
on the spot, but it is shown that he constantly investigated past trials/evidence, and created a script so Kaito Momota could successfully imitate Kokichi regardless of the situation. He also asked Miu Iruma for many inventions which enabled progression for the group, and successfully managed to manipulate Gonta Gokuhara into killing another. Despite being one of the smallest students (156cm/5 foot 1 in), he shows little to no fear when
intimidated by larger/stronger students. The game presents Kokichi as a malicious, hellbent leader, however it is revealed in Chapter 6 that Kokichi did not run a large, secret cult. Instead, he was the leader of a 10 person gang, whose sole purpose was to play pranks and cause laughter, called "D.I.C.E".
Kokichi Oma is popularly shipped with Shuichi Saihara (Saioma/Saiouma), K1-B0 (Kiiboma/Kiibouma), Kaito Momota (Omota/Oumota), and Himiko Yumeno (Omeno/Oumeno).
