Warriors of Hope ; :A group of five
RPG fanatic elementary school children from Hope's Peak Academy's elementary school branch, built to monitor potential child prodigies, with the Warriors being considered on par with Ultimate students in terms of sheer talent. The Warriors of Hope were all abused children who made a suicide pact. Just as they were about to go through with killing themselves, they were stopped by Junko Enoshima, leading them to idolize her. Junko, on a whim, manipulated the children's emotions and ultimately turned them evil. The Warriors control the Monokuma robots attacking the city. Their plan is to take over the world by murdering all the adults who they call "Demons" and create a paradise for children. Their titles are based on elementary school subjects.

Taichi Fujisaki ; :Voiced by:
Kōki Miyata :Chihiro Fujisaki's father, a middle-aged man who is skilled with hacking systems. He helps Komaru and Toko progress through Towa Tower but is subsequently attacked and presumably killed by a Beast Monokuma. However, if the player returns to the location later, Taichi's body is not there, and a note written by him is in its place. Taichi's note states a refusal to die until he sees his wife and son safe again, implying he survived not only the attack Komaru thought killed him, but the game as a whole, although unaware of his son already being dead.
Tokuichi Towa ; :Voiced by: Junpei Asahina :The head of the Towa Group and father of Haiji and Monaca. He was killed by Monaca, but somehow his spirit manages to briefly possess Komaru, begging her to put a stop to Monaca's plans.
Monokuma Kids ; :A group of children wearing Monokuma masks who work alongside the Monokuma robots. Their motives are a mystery, as they seem to both hinder and assist the protagonists, as well as punish the Warriors of Hope if they fail. It is later revealed that the masks they wear, which brainwash them into killing adults, contain explosives which would set off if the controller for the Monokuma robots were to be broken.
Kanon Nakajima ; :Leon Kuwata's cousin who appears in the
Ultra Despair Hagakure mini novel included in
Danganronpa Another Episode. She is madly in love with Leon, but he always saw her as a little sister. She gained insane levels of physical strength after Leon, wanting to give her a goal, told her that he would date her if she threw a 160km/h fastball, leading her to practice and train day and night. She becomes Leon's motive in the first game, hoping that once he escapes, he would go try to find Kanon and see if she survived the Tragedy. After learning of Leon's death, Kanon comes to blame the Future Foundation. She plots to kill Yasuhiro when she encounters him in Towa City, but changes her mind after he saves her from Kotoko. ==''Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School''==
