What do fans like about her?[]
First of all, fans find her design to be beautiful and/or attractive. In fact, it is ambiguously a reference to 2B from Nier Automata (Did I spell it right? I don’t hear about it much though).
Second of all, Kirumi is a pretty caring person who “spoils” her classmates and even risked her life to save her country based on her motive video.
Also, fans are glad about Kirumi not being sexualised during the game despite being a maid. Although Danganronpa has a reputation for fanservice, Kirumi’s “fanservicey” scenes were more of a fan dis-service.
Lastly, she’s lowkey memetic due to Kokichi asking her “What’s wrong Kirumi” and then repeating “What’s wrong?” to an extremely repetitive degree.
Detractors[]
Alright, this is going to be a difficult topic here
A vocal minority of the Danganronpa fandom dislikes her for killing Ryoma, a fan favourite. However, I don’t hear it often
Also, I’ve heard some people dislike her due to her being a huge “Almighty janitor” and the prime minister twist. However, I’m not sure if people still see her as this due to the Danganronpa fandom undergoing major changes when it comes to character reception.
However, most of her detractors are vocal minorities in the fandom and many fans deem her underrated.
Importance to the franchise[]
Kirumi played a role in two chapters. In the first chapter, she was a supporting character and in the second she was a major character due to being the culprit. However, Kirumi was rarely mentioned later on in the game and doesn’t affect it much after her death. Therefore, she’s minor enough.
