Yasuhiro Hagakure, the self-proclaimed Ultimate Clairvoyant, wields a reputation built on his 30% prediction accuracy—a quirk deemed just adequate for Hope’s Peak Academy. His disheveled dreadlocks, mismatched layers of a uniform jacket and haramaki, and a hidden scar hint at a life marked by chaos. Though initially a comic relief with a relaxed demeanor, pressure unravels his composure into frenetic outbursts, yet his affable nature keeps him tethered to peers. Raised by a single mother in poverty, Yasuhiro turned to fraudulent fortune-telling to finance his obsession with occult artifacts. A botched scam against the Kuzuryu Clan buried him in debt, forcing three years in hiding before the academy offered sanctuary. During the Killing School Life, he narrowly escaped execution in Chapter 3 when Celeste’s true surname, "Yasuhiro," exposed her frame-up. Post-tragedy, he joined the Future Foundation, aiding Kanon Nakajima in Towa City despite her lethal intentions. Their mutual survival bred an uneasy alliance, with Yasuhiro lingering to settle debts. Excluded from the Future Arc’s main building by Monokuma’s mockery of his unpopularity, he evaded the killing game’s bracelet traps. Undeterred, he dodged aerial assaults and assisted Byakuya Togami in rescuing Makoto Naegi from brainwashed assailants. Though peers like Aoi Asahina overlook him and Byakuya rebuffs his aid, Yasuhiro clings to loyalty, deeming them genuine comrades. His design—dreadlocks echoing rural stereotypes, layered garb infused with Shinto, Taoist, and Buddhist motifs—mirrors his cultural hybridity and working-class roots. Post-crisis, he resumes fortune-telling with a fresh crystal ball, jesting about his trademark 30% certainty for hope—a nod to embracing flaws. Once a coward reliant on humor, he evolves into a tenacious survivor, leveraging sheer persistence to shield allies despite his noncombatant status.
