Danganronpa: (He)Artless Deceit
Manifest for Katsuhiko Minamoto - Ultimate Debater
Pronunciation: KAHT-soo-HE-ko ME-na-MOE-toe
Biography
Formalities and etiquette are a priority in Katsuhiko's life. Shrewd and assertive, he tolerates no amount of idiocy and discusses all matters seriously. These traits are to be expected from the Ultimate Debater. He's a realist through and through, not hesitating to shoot down idealistic views with his carefully formulated arguments. However, it is comical—and perhaps endearing—to see him talk about the things he's passionate about in such a highbrow manner.
Voice Description
As the Ultimate Debater, Katsuhiko is an excellent speaker, possessing a cool yet assertive Medium-Low male voice. As a realist and professional, he delivers arguments in an objective and assertive way that doesn’t rely on volume or anger. Amusingly, this serious nature also extends to his more casual interests, sometimes making him the comically-serious mood maker in scenes. In rare moments, he may lose his cool, but not in anger — he becomes easily flustered if you successfully tease him.

(Serious) “Ahem, my name is Katsuhiko Minamoto. My prowess in speeches and competitions has earned me the title of the Ultimate Debater.”
(Assertive) “I’m putting an end to this preposterous game before it even starts. Tell me, who’s the mastermind—no, the coward behind this charade?”
(Flustered) “Tch… You really know how to grind my gears. There’s nothing weird about how I’m acting. I-It’s... normal to make eye contact during a conversation!”
