Gender: Male / Status: Deceased

Ashvins, is the name given to pair of twin Hindu gods, and was the name that Tōya Tsutsumi went under in order to lure in the other resaearchers associated under the Twin Abilities Research Center Case. He wrote letters to all four under that pseudonym, claiming that if they joined him they recieve a heft sum of money, and left instructions for the researchers to do to the the Kyuren twins. Such instructions, while starting off tame, would eventually have lead to them trying to hurt the Kyuren Twins to see if they felt each other's pain. This experimentation was to be done under the guise of seeing if twins could feel each other's pain. In reality, it was just part of Toya's ploy to murder the twins and with the potential to pin the blame on a mysterious 'fifth' researcher.

Of what is known about him, Joshua was a reasonably intelligent man that was capable of setting up his weapon to automatically fire thanks to his laptop's program. Given that he tried to attack Johnny in at the mirror maze, it can also be said he was reasonably confident in fighting skills as well. With his program having been made from stealing from other programmers (one who was heavily implied to have been Chihiro Fujisaki) its shown that Joshua has no qualms in theft of other people's work to use for his own gain. History: Little is known about Joshua, but what can be known was that he was one of five Victims that took up a Duel Noir against Johnny (who theorizes all five might have been those who had known the targets he had assassinated in the past). Using his programmer's skills, he rigged his M4 up to an amusement park's Ferris wheel cabin and with the use of his laptop's facial recognition program, he had it set to fire at his targets if they came into range. Joshua would lie in wait in the mirror maze, where he eventually tried to attack Johnny alongside 'Throwing Knives'. However, Johnny would end up defeating both. In order to go into hiding, and upon noticing TAC50's set-up, Johnny baited the latter into firing before switching places with Joshua. Joshua would be killed by the shot and his skull destroyed to the point one wouldn't be able to recognize him. From there, Johnny exchanged clothes with Joshua before sneaking out, making everyone else think that Johnny died from TAC50's assault instead. Joshua's M4 would later be rendered out of commission by Yui and Kyoko Kirigiri setting it up so it can't hurt anyone, whilst stealing the laptop that allowed it to automatically fire. Following the Duel Noir, Joshua's body would be given a DNA test to prove that it was his body instead of Johnny's.

Katana agrees to meet with her because he usually lives off of cup ramen, thus it's a nice change of pace for him. When Sachi says if Fukuju was popular with his students, ultimately, Katana says otherwise and agrees to give information to Sachi after her display of fake crying, though admits he really only has rumors more than facts. Katana explains more about Fukuju's specialty in ancient history, not medieval studies, and states that Fukuju wouldn't have any interest in the museum.

Katana then reveals Fukuju was apparently plagiarizing his student reports and, despite complaints, wasn't being punished for it. He then explains a rumor that he killed a researcher and disguised it as suicide. When Sachi asks if he knew the researcher, he says he knows her boyfriend and gets in contact with him to meet with Sachi at a cafe.

However, Johnny is able to see through this when he was at the mirror maze and baits TAC50 into killing Joshua so that Johnny could fake his death. When Yui and Kyoko Kirigiri managed to find out where he was hiding, they create a plan in order to subdue him. Avoiding the cameras, Yui gets close to TAC50 who holds her at gunpoint.

Jin even compared his intellect to be as sharp as a member of the Kirigiri Family. He was supposed to take in Kyoko when she arrived back to Japan, but was murdered by Mikado, who began impersonating him. His body was buried in his yard, and was discovered on January 11th, by Yui Samidare, who had come to investigate the oddities concerning Kyoko's grandfather. One of Mikado's maidservants, who were watching over the household just in case anyone were prowling around the premises, saw Yui and tried to kill her, but was defeated by Jin. Following both Yui and Jin's escape, the former recounts Kyoko's maternal father's body had decomposed greatly, implying that he had been dead for months.

Throwing Knives

Gender: Female/ Status: Deceased

Throwing Knives was a minor antagonist mentioned in Danganronpa Kirigiri Volume 6. She is one of five Victims/Assassins that was set to participate in the Edenside Amusement Park Case Duel Noir in order to kill Johnny Arp and Yui Samidare. Give that her name is unknown, the cast refers to her by her weapon name instead. Appearance & Personality: Throwing Knives is a small woman who has silver hair, lightly dark skin and is thought to be of Arabic descent by Licorne. In the Duel Noir, she wears a white ghillie suit to blend in to her surroundings. In terms of personality, little is known about Throwing Knives, but from what is known, she has shown to be confident in her knife throwing skills to opt to choose it instead of opting for a firearm like the other Victims. Given that she was the only one of the five to able to injure two Triple Zero detectives, and had been able to sneak up on highly perceptive detectives three times, it shows she is highly competent in her fighting and stealth prowess. Even after being defeated by Johnny, and her implied assault by TAC50, she has shown a relentless determination to complete her objective. History: Little is known about Throwing Knives, but what can be known was that she was one of five Victims that took up a Duel Noir against Johnny (who theorizes all five might have been those who had known the targets he had assassinated in the past). Licorne, and eventually Yui, notes that her opting to use throwing knives against Johnny and her camouflage tactics, show an understanding of her opponent (a sniper), with both believing it is possible she may have been either a murder expert or someone who merely trained for a long while for when she got the chance to go against her target. Throwing Knives was lying in wait at the park, approaching only when Johnny and Licorne were force out of their car by her other compatriots gunfire. Licorne spots Throwing Knives before Johnny does and warns him so he can watch out. However, despite Johnny initially shooting one of her knives out of the air, Johnny gets stabbed in his right arm by the other and is forced to rush into the house of mirrors. Throwing Knives would pursue him in her attempt to finish him off. She would be joined by Joshua Lindbergh, but both would be defeated by Johnny. When Licorne pursues he finds what seems to be Throwing Knives dead and apparently Johnny as well. However, he doesn't believe Johnny to be dead since the corpse's face had been wrecked by gunfire, instead thinking he's disguised as Throwing Knives. He is shocked to find its a woman underneath, rather than Johnny. As Licorne planned to continue his investigation elsewhere, he was attacked by Throwing Knives (who was merely pretending to be dead). Licorne tries to fight her off, and even succeeds in wrapping one of her hands in wire, but Throwing Knives does succeed in cutting him. Thus, Licorne is forced to go on the retreat out of the mirror maze. Throwing Knives would later be found in the underground passage's electrical room, her suit in rags, its chest open and her body bloodied, with Knives herself seemingly dead. Given that it was connected to TAC50's room, when Yui asked him what he did to her, he merely laughed and said to take a guess, heavily implying that he assaulted her. However, Throwing Knives wasn't dead and would appear to ambush Yui, Kyoko Kirigiri and Licorne as they were outside tending to the injured latter. But before she can land an attack, she would shot in the head from afar by Johnny, who aligned the shot to also shoot Kyoko's ribbon, thus winning the challenge that he had set-up against Yui and Kyoko.
