who made danganronpa

The Danganronpa video game franchise was created by Kazutaka Kodaka. It was developed and owned by Spike Chunsoft (formerly Spike). Kazutaka Kodaka wrote the original scenario with the aim to create a twisted adventure game. The first game, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, was released in 2010. The character designs were created by Rui Komatsuzaki, and the game was produced by Yoshinori Terasawa. Kodaka's initial concept was considered too gruesome but was approved after retooling. The series blends adventure, visual novel, detective, and dating simulator elements and has expanded into manga, anime, and novels. Kazutaka Kodaka later left Spike Chunsoft and co-founded Too Kyo Games.
