Students

'''The students at Yandere-chan's school, Akademi High School, are NPCs that come and go to the school every day, except during the weekends. '''They all follow a specific move pattern, except for Yandere-chan (the player), Info-chan (not implemented yet), Osana Najimi (incomplete), Phantom Girl (a ghost), and Midori Gurin (incomplete).

Routine
This is the daily routine of all students.
 * 1) Walk into Akademi High School.
 * 2) Stand by the locker (in reality, they are changing from outdoor shoes to indoor shoes, but no animations are available yet ).
 * 3) Move to gossip area, the Computer Lab (Pippi and Ryuto), or a cherry tree (Senpai).
 * 4) Go to class.
 * 5) Go to the gossip area on the rooftop or play games in the Computer Lab.
 * 6) Go to class for second time.
 * 7) Stand by the locker once more to switch from indoor shoes to outdoor shoes.
 * 8) Leave the school (the only NPC exception to this rule are Pippi Osu, Ryuto Ippongo, Osana Najimi, Midori Gurin, and Yandere-chan (If the player chooses).

Currently, Kokona Haruka (and future rivals) will break her move pattern at certain intervals to create an event which may allow the player to test different elimination methods, because she is currently a test rival.

You can interact with most of the students. If a student's face is sent to Info-chan, she will give you his/her name, club (If they are in one), persona, possible crushes, and any additional information. Info-chan will not give Yandere-chan information on Senpai, Osana Najimi, or herself. There will most likely be around 100 students in the game, but YandereDev would like more. NPCs will be 99% Japanese with similar skin tones.

Females
All females (except Osana) have the same eye shape as Yandere-chan because the female student models are reused. Most have the Coward persona.

Males
All males have the same eye shape as Senpai because the male student models are reused. They all have the Teacher's Pet persona except Senpai, who has a Coward persona.

Former Students
Former students from the 1980's. They are all adults but still play an important role in Yandere Simulator.

Removed
The deleted students, Victim-chan and Witness-chan, can be seen in the April 3rd update and also in "How To Get Away With Murder In Yandere Simulator" video. It was impossible to meet both of them in the game.

Kuudere Simulator
These playable students both appear in Kuudere Simulator. They have not made any more appearances. In the final game, there might be some random NPCs, who will look similar to these characters, but they will not be important.

Trivia

 * There will be at least one exchange student, but their nationality has not been decided yet. They're most likely going to be American so the student can be a comically exaggerated American stereotype..
 * The Student Council will not be corrupt. Likewise, the Student Council President will be a strict disciplinarian.
 * There actually is a reason for why the students will still come to school when they know there is a serial killer on the loose, but YandereDev has not released the information why yet.
 * It may be possible for the player to add their own students in the future.
 * Every female student, excluding Midori Gurin, Osana Najimi, the Phantom Girl, and Info-chan, have a male counterpart with the same hair/eye color.
 * In very early debug builds, all students were females and recolors of Yandere-chan, with the only difference being the hair and eye color (blue). Before students had names, they were all named "Student-chan" within the game code. They got different hair colors in the February 15th update. However, you can still see her in the place of whoever you kidnapped after kidnapping a student, and five corpses of her can be seen in the title screen.
 * There will be some comic relief moments in Yandere Simulator when you overhear some NPC conversations.
 * All of the female hairstyles were created by modifying Yandere-chan's hair. The male hairstyles were invented by their modeler.
 * You may be able to distract students with small firecrackers.
 * As of the September 20th build, students' clothes, hair, and animation codes are not active when Yandere-chan is far away. This is to improve frame rate.
 * YandereDev will only make a parody of a character that he cared or knew about.
 * The Rainbow 12's names are a reference to the most popular Japanese name for 2012. YandereDev has proven this on his twitter.
 * Pippi and Ryuto will be the only rhythm game references in Yandere Simulator.
 * Info-chan, Midori Gurin, and Pippi Osu are the only female characters without any tied up hair, while Ryuto Ippongo is the only male student to have tied hair.
 * If YandereDev could make a student based on himself, he would make a student that was a gamer, a loner, and had no crush, unless he included a student who resembles his favorite video game character.
 * When a student goes missing, the School Atmosphere decreases by 5 points.
 * Some students will stay after school at the end of the day to clean up, but there are no animations for this yet
