"'...Let me tell you something kid. No one here will bring upon my demise for I am the lord up in the sky. The second coming of Christ. I, Kagene Yuuta, am god.' — Danganronpa: Sink or Swim, Yuuta to Kyoshi Nakata"

Yuuta Kagene is a participant on Sink or Swim's 22nd season, and apart of the killing game featured in Danganronpa: Sink or Swim. His title is the Ultimate Gothic Literature Author. His reasons for appearing on the 22nd season have not been revealed on camera.

Prior to Sink or Swim
The name Yuuta Kagene first came to light in XXXX when the hit horror novel Cursed Teeth, Blessed Sheath hit the bookshelves. It was written by a first year junior high student from Tokyo, Japan. Sadly after his novel achieved a plethora of success the author went silent for about two years. No updates were posted to his usually active social media and there were no updates from his editor. Why would a successful author just vanish off of the face of the earth? Just as the public thought they wouldn’t see Yuuta any more, he came back with a new book - See No Evil, Hear All Evil. After the release of his second book, Mr.Kagene became active on the internet almost as if nothing had happened. Almost a year after SNE,HAE came out, Yuuta released another book titled Blink. More attention was drawn towards Mr.Kagene at this time as the up and coming book critic, Hana McClain (Formerly known as Hana Matsuoka) was talking about his books on her online blog and through any interviews she was a part of. This caused her audience to swarm into Yuuta’s granting the author more success. Since graduating highschool, Mr.Kagene has released three more books and even helped start off Mrs.McClain’s writing career which was shown by her publicly thanking him on her social media.

Mr.Kagene shows no signs of stopping his writing career any time soon and continues to update his audience frequently through his twitter and instagram.

Physical Appearance
Yuuta is a short, dainty man that stands right at 4’10. His skin is deathly pale and is over all free of scars. Yuuta has no moles or freckles.. His hair is a dark black color that has some minor heat damage due to constantly curling it. His eyes, which are naturally brown, have bright red eye contacts in them to help make him look much more intimidating to others. Yuuta’s ears have been cosmetically reshaped for that more “vampire” aesthetic. His teeth have naturally sharp canines that he absolutely adores.

Overall, he’s a pretty thin dude with some curves in some places. He doesn’t have any sort of muscle build up or fat. His stomach just barely dips in which makes the bottoms of his ribs visible.

Outfit
Yuuta wears a dark outfit with a gothic aesthetic to it. His shirt is a black blouse with poofy sleeves, a built in corset, and lace details. His sleeves are tight around his wrist due to a sort of string that he has wrapped and tied around his wrists. He has a matching collar scarf thing that has the same lace as his shirt. It’s bunched together by a red gem brooch. Yuuta wears regular dark shorts with a garter that goes underneath them. His garters hold up his thigh high black socks that he wears for his tall platform boots. Underneath this top layer, Yuuta only wears his underwear - no layers for him! He normally has on a pair of cross shaped earrings that hide behind his hair. He also always has on fake nails that are painted black to match the rest of his look.

Personality
↳ Intelligent | Yuuta is an extremely intelligent person due to his long history of reading and because he’s just naturally smart. He seems to be pretty decent with math and extremely good when it comes to literature knowledge. Yuuta also knows a lot about the Romantic Era (1800s) due to it being his favorite era in history AND is the biggest inspiration for his work.

↳ Prideful | He seems to think very highly of himself and is proud of his work. If given the chance, Yuuta will begin to talk about his books and how amazing they are AND how successful his career is.

↳ Mysterious | Yuuta is good at keeping secrets (for his own benefits) and will often go on random tangents to completely throw off the conversation. Not a lot about him makes much sense. He’ll do suspicious actions and then lie about what he’s doing in order to throw people off of his trail - even if the lies make no sense. Once again, in a conversation, Yuuta will change the subject to something either seriously dark or something irrelevant and then keep talking as if nothing had happened.

↳ Flirtatious | Whenever a cute guy is in his sights, Yuuta will lightly flirt with them. However, he can’t resist making flirtatious remarks that involve himself such as “You would look cute with me” or “I’m perfect for you.” If someone tries to refuse his advances, he’ll continue unless they make him upset. If someone he’s interested in makes him angry and doesn’t apologize to him first, Yuuta will do all he can to make them miserable.
