Student Council

February 2nd, 2016.

The Student Council is a club in Akademi.

Appearance[]

The room is located in the west wing of the second floor. As of the December 18th, 2017 Build, the room has a wooden floor and beige walls. It has red curtains and red chairs surrounding a wooden table with a tea set on it. It has three bookshelves, a grandfather clock, a desk with a globe and laptop on it, and a chandelier.

Description[]

Megami Saikou, the Student Council President, strives for excellence in all things. She settles for nothing less than the best, so has put together a student council comprised of the most elite students in school.

Kuroko Kamenaga was the school's previous student council president. She was defeated by Megami in the most recent student council election. However, Megami acknowledged that Kuroko was the second-best person for the job, and offered her the role of vice president. Kuroko accepted the offer.

While Megami is absent from school, Kuroko is in charge of Megami's presidential duties. In short, Kuroko fills the role of student council president while Megami is gone. Kuroko is known for being formal at all times, which is reflected in the way she stands, walks and speaks.

Akane Toriyasu is the Secretary of the student council. She's known for her gentle and friendly personality, but is also known for being a bit of an airhead - which makes it a mystery why Megami decided to appoint her to the Student Council.

As one of the most beautiful girls in school, Akane has a very large number of male admirers. often, her presence alone is enough to diffuse a troublesome situation. Perhaps this may be part of the reason why Megami decided to include her on the Student Council.

Aoi Ryugoku is the Enforcer of the Student Council. That means her job is to maintain peace throughout the school. She is a very physically imposing person, so it's no mystery why Megami chose her for this position. However, she's been known to take her job a little too seriously.

There are a handful of students at school who hide one of their eyes for some personal reason, but Aoi is currently the only student who is 100% confirmed to actually be missing an eye. As of now, there are only two students at school who know how Aoi lost her eye.

Shiromi Torayoshi is the treasurer of the student council. She's a peculiar young woman whose intentions are never clear. She is known for smiling at almost every hour of the day, in every type of situation, which is unsettling to some students.

Shiromi is an enigma; very few students know anything about her. Just about the only thing that anyone knows for certain is that she is very eccentric, and takes pleasure in performing harmless pranks on other students.

Megami has reason to believe that there is "a dangerous person" on school grounds, so she has warned the Student Council to be extremely cautious over the next 10 weeks, and has authorized them to carry pepper spray on school grounds. As a result of Megami's warning, the Student Council are much more alert than other students, and will bust out a can of pepper spray at the slightest sign that their lives may be in danger.[1]

Joining the Council[]

Yandere-chan-council-full — Ayano in Student Council Uniform

It is currently not possible to join the Student Council. However, in the future, to join the council, the player will have to meet multiple criteria.

Once Ayano has joined, she will wear the Student Council uniform and have an armband. The uniform consists of a white blazer with a red bow-tie and a white skirt, both with red trim. The male Student Council uniform also consists of a white blazer, but with a long tie instead of a bow tie, and white pants.

Benefits[]

If Ayano were to join the Student Council, she would be able to:

Ask for a favor without befriending the student.
Be up to thirty minutes late to class with no penalty.
Walk anywhere she wants without suspicion (excluding the boys' bathroom) and be less suspicious to students and faculty.^[1]
Ayano would also be able to 'unlock' the ability to do something regarding Megami, but this benefit has not been revealed yet because it would be a spoiler.^[1]
The students will let their guard down around Ayano, so the students' cone of vision will be smaller.

Usage[]

As soon as Ayano walks near the computer by herself, Megami Saikou will start her monologue on how she despises Ayano. Afterwards, the computer will shut off and won't turn on again.

Originally, the plan was that Ayano would not be able to join the student council.^[2] However, this was changed in the "Club Benefits in Yandere Simulator" video. Ayano will be able to join the student council in the future, but it will give her many responsibilities.

Former members[]

Ichiko Saikou (Former President, 1988)
Reiichi Tanaami (President; Former Vice President, 1989)
Ken Kyonashima (Secretary, 1989)
Daisaku Aragaki (Enforcer, 1989)
Joze Shiuba (Treasurer, 1989)

Leaving and Disbanding[]

Failing to maintain the responsibilities will result in Ayano being ejected from the council.

Killing a Member[]

Security — Megami ordering security cameras and metal detectors to be present at school.

Since Student Council members carry pepper spray, they cannot be attacked from the front. It is possible to sneak up behind one and kill them, but it will cause Megami Saikou (Kocho Shuyona in 1980s Mode) to have security cameras and metal detectors implemented at school. This also causes everyone else to be afraid, permanently reducing the atmosphere to 0%, therefore permanently setting the game to the hardest difficulty, unless the week has been reset.

Getting a Member Fired[]

In Mission Mode, Info-Chan offers a service to get student council members fired by sending false evidence of wrongdoing. This service costs 25 Info Points. A student council member who is fired will no longer be armed with pepper spray, and will walk around with a depressed pose, apparently upset at getting kicked out. They will also no longer react to footsteps, shove Ayano or send her to the counselor if she is acting suspicious, instead acting more like a normal student. However, they will still continue wearing the Student Council uniform and patrolling the school as if they are still a member, and if they catch Ayano committing a crime, they will attempt to apprehend her like a Heroic student normally would with a Peak Physical Strength Self-Defense. This service is added into Mission Mode to accommodate for multi missions, so that the player can kill Council members in ways that aren't possible while they are still in the council (Example: Drowning, Pushing Off Roof).

Bugs[]

Student Council members almost never change their facial expression. The only exception is when they are sending Ayano to the counselor, as they will wear an angry expression (Sometimes they don't change their expression if they have caught Ayano misbehaving).
- The members will use the default face for female students if time is stopped then started again via Witch Mode, and they will change their expression like normal students.

Trivia[]

YandereDev gave the Student Council their own unique uniform because he felt that they wouldn't be special if they wore the same uniform that everyone else wore.^[3]
If a Student Council member runs to the teachers to report a murder and discovers that all teachers are dead, they will realize what kind of danger they are in and will run out of school and call the police.^[4]
The council's meeting room was renovated in the November 15, 2015 Build, and partially furnished in the January 1st, 2016 Build. It was fully furnished in the December 18th, 2017 Build.
Each member, excluding Megami and the members in 1980s Mode, is based on one of the Four Symbols of Chinese myths and culture (Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger). The names of those four members derive from the Japanese translation of these creatures.
- The Four Symbols are sometimes referred to as the Four Guardians. YandereDev mentioned that he originally chose to relate the council with the Four Symbols because they act as the guardians of Akademi in a sense.
In 1980s Mode, there are a different cast of members.^[5]
Every member of the Student Council has an unconfirmed rumor floating around about them.^[6]
Their reputation could be lowered enough that they would resign and leave school. However, their reputation will go down much slower than other students, unless Ayano has specific "dirt" on them.^[7]
They are slightly feared by students but not disliked.^[8]
They dislike the Delinquents but tolerate them.^[9]
YandereDev mentioned that if the Student Council were dismissed, it would not happen until after the game ended.^[10]
YandereDev is considering adding a 6th member that would likely patrol the classrooms.^[11]
- She would possibly be the "Public Morals Office".^[12]
- She would represent the Yellow Dragon.^[13]
- She would have heterochromia.^[13]
- Her name would be Kiyoko Tatsuhara.^[14]
- She would be hot-blooded, determined, passionate and an emissary of justice.^[14]
- She would wear yellow fingerless MMA gloves.^[14]
- She would stop a fight with a speech about humanity's strength.^[14]
If Ayano joined the council, she would have a more obscure role, like a "historian".^[15]
YandereDev thinks that unless certain circumstances are met, they would be immune to bullying.^[16]
YandereDev was inspired by the concept of a "badass" student council, found in numerous anime shows.^[17]
YandereDev thinks that all former members of the Student Council have already graduated by the time the game started.^[18]
They will not accept food from Ayano/Ryoba, as they are too cautious to accept food from a stranger.^[19]
The Student Council cannot be shut down.^[20]
If the Student Council got in a fight, Aoi would be winning, but then the lights would turn off, and when they turn back on, Shiromi would be the last one standing.^[21]
The Student Council are a rather "special" club, as it doesn't get disbanded if there is under 5 members or the leader has disappeared.
There are couple of exploits in the game that make it possible to kill Student Council members with methods that under normal circumstances would work only on regular students.
All members are immune to seduction and you cannot socialize, gossip and befriend them. It is not yet known if this will apply to Megami Saikou.
Even though it was impossible to eliminate Student Council members in Mission Mode, as of the June 1st, 2020 build, it is possible to fire one of student council members by paying Info-chan to do so in the services menu. When doing this, the player will be able to interact with them as if they were normal students, and their walking animations will change. It has been confirmed that the ability to fire a Student Council member will be added in 202X Mode in the future. [20]
The Student Council members don't seem to change their expression when they witness murder or a corpse, but their pupils do shrink just like the other students.
The Student Council members will have an angry facial expression if they catch Ayano/Ryoba misbehaving.
As of the January 28th, 2021 Build, each Student Council member has unique voiced lines (Except the 1980s Student Council).
In Mission Mode, the Student Council members shows no reaction when Nemesis kills Ayano.
In 1980s Mode, the Student Council members are all male.
The reason there is no vice president in 1980s Mode is because Reiichi feels like he can handle everything on his own.
There's an unused soundtrack that is found in the game files. It is a background music fitted for the Student Council, very much similar to the club themes. It is unknown if YandereDev ever plans to use this or leave it in the files.
As of January 15th, 2023 build, portrait poses were found in Pose Mode for the 1980s Mode Student Council members.
If Ayano was accepted into the Student Council, the rest of the Student Council members would be wary and cautious around her. They would also give Ayano lots of tasks to keep her busy and test her resolve in the council.^[22]
