Intelligent, calculating and utterly ruthless, Byakuya is a force to be reckoned with. Byakuya immediately takes the position of leader amongst the group, claiming that he will use his superiority to lead them all to safety. The scion of the wealthy Togami family, and one groomed to become a success since childhood. He ultimately chooses the latter, accepting responsibility for his bloodied past and resolving to create a new future for himself and his classmates, but as a result, is indicated to retain his old self. During the final trial, he is faced with the dilemma of remaining as "Hajime Hinata" and letting AI Junko win, or reverting back to "Izuru Kamukura". Unfortunately, Izuru fell under the thrall of Junko Enoshima and triggered "The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Event In Human History" by his participation in the first "School Life of Mutual Killing", causing the death of the student council. The truth is that he has no Ultimate talent, but his obsession with Hope's Peak led him to become the subject of the "Ultimate Hope Project", in which his identity would be completely erased and rebuilt as "Izuru Kamukura", the multi-talented "Ultimate Hope". Hajime is a decent guy, but his personality is rough around the edges and very sceptical. Unfortunately, he has forgotten his past and the Ultimate talent that he was selected for.

A young man who has always admired Hope's Peak Academy and finally achieved his dream of attending the school. Voiced by: Minami Takayama (Japanese), Johnny Yong Bosch (English)
