Kodaka's love for Makoto Naegi
"Naegi-kun" is trending. That adorable hoodie...!
Naegi-kun... I heard that at first you were criticized for being too herbivorous... but I'm glad you're the main character!
Today is Naegi Makoto's birthday! The sapling grew into a big tree of hope. Hinata carries the burden of despair, while Naegi carries the burden of hope. The ending of Hope Arc will always be special to me.
Today is Naegi's birthday! I wrote about this in my Famitsu column, but the name "Naegi" contains the feelings I had when I was creating Danganronpa. This work is a sapling now, but I hope that it will grow into a big tree someday. This is the first and last time that I put my own feelings into a character, so to me, he is as important as Monokuma.
Naegi-kun is trending. I'm so happy. I'm dying of joy. I want to repay Naegi-kun someday.
Thank you! Naegi-kun! You are my ultimate hope!
Also, I wanted to make Makoto Naegi "a matchstick for the other strong characters." In other words, I wanted to make him the only life-sized character among the unique characters. But... the character ran on its own and that's how it turned out. It was the first time I'd ever seen a character run on its own, out of control.
Because of all this, I don't really feel like I created Naegi myself... He doesn't feel like "that character" but more like "that person." It doesn't feel like I created him through calculation, it feels like he was just born into me.
When I think back, things started to change around the line, "I won't get over it. I'll just drag it along and move forward." That line was not in line with my own way of thinking at all. I feel like it was around that time that the person called Naegi was born.
Because Naegi is still alive, I can honestly write about him as if he were a completely different character at the very beginning and at the end of the story, but as the same character. As a writer, I'm usually intimidated by such growth and change, but with Naegi, it didn't bother me at all.
In that sense, he is a special character to me. I thought about creating lines for Naegi, but since it would be completely different depending on which kind of Naegi it is, I thought it would be better not to do it, so I gave up.
