Personality

Current

Among the personas that are currently implemented in the game, Koharu is Heroic. If she sees a corpse, she will act upon the Teacher's Pet persona. If she witnesses a murder, she will run to fight Ryoba Aishi, despite having very weak self-defense.

Week 10

During Week 10, Koharu helps with Sonoko Sakanoue's investigation and uses the Sleuth persona. She will take a photo of Ryoba committing murder or of the corpse and run to show it to the police, who are just outside the school. This will cause an instant Game Over if the photo is of Ryoba committing murder, as Ryoba will be arrested.

Koharu had the Social Butterfly persona. She would happily pose for a picture if Ayano Aishi aimed her camera at her. If she saw a corpse or witnessed a murder, she would run to the nearest secluded area and call the police. Koharu's self-defense during a physical fight was very weak. She later became incapable of participating in physical fights against murderers.
