Takaaki Ishimaru is a character who appears in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. He is a former policeman and a Target for the Warriors of Hope's Demon Hunting. Takaaki is the son of infamous Toranosuke Ishimaru. He is also the father of Kiyotaka Ishimaru and the closest person to him, which is why he became a Captive for Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc first motive. He is apparently hiding in the Towa Memorial Science Hall. Takaaki's father was the Prime Minister of Japan, but he was forced to step down after a corruption scandal. As a result, the Ishimaru family was left mistrusted and in huge debts. Takaaki worked as a police officer to help support his family, though people complained about letting the son of a criminal join the legal force. After his father died and his son Taka left for Hope's Peak Academy, Takaaki continued his job and daily life as a police officer in the Apparition Kingdom. Takaaki appears to be a very serious man. He is not well either mentally or physically and appears to not feel sympathy as he carries a gun with him, intending to kill the Warriors of Hope. He is extremely nervous around others, due to his father's reputation. The creators describe him as similar to his son - if one makes a wrong move, they will experience the madness that is his critical sense of justice.
