Monokuma is a stuffed robotic bear, the self-proclaimed Headmaster of Hope’s Peak Academy, and the instigator of the Killing Game. In Chapter 5 of the game, there is a scene where Monokuma says the quote, “But in the bear kingdom, there IS no male or female!” but Makoto quickly turns Monokuma down by saying that there are male and female bears (found here).
