Chiaki was created by writer [[Kazutaka Kodaka]] as the game's [[hero]]ine, with her traits being based on those of "the ideal woman." She is voiced by [[Kana Hanazawa]] in Japanese and [[Christine Marie Cabanos]] in English. Critical response to Chiaki has been highly positive due to her role in the ''Goodbye Despair'' narrative as she takes a major impact in the class trials and her comfort provided to the main character, to the point of being cited as one of the best characters. The parallels between Chiaki and her human counterpart in the anime series also earned a mixed to positive response.
==Concept and creation==

In contrast to [[Kyoko Kirigiri]] from the first ''Danganronpa'' video game whose main goal was assisting the player character [[Makoto Naegi]] in investigating the killing cases, [[Kazutaka Kodaka]] created Chiaki to be more of a heroine who would bond with [[Hajime Hinata]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/a-brief-q-a-with-the-writer-of-danganronpa-1689628454|title=A Brief Q&A With The Writer Of Danganronpa|website=Kotaku|accessdate=April 3, 2021|author=Schreier, Jason}}</ref> describing her as "the ideal type of woman."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dualshockers.com/danganronpa-interview/|title=Danganronpa Interview -- Director Talks PlayStation 4, V3 Endgame Surprises and More|website=Dual Shockers|accessdate=May 22, 2021|author=Lopez, Azario}}</ref><ref name="oto">{{cite magazine|magazine=Otomedia|issue=Winter|year=2016|publisher=Gakken Marketing|title=Kazutaka Kodaka x Yuuji Higa}}</ref> [[Rui Komatsuzaki]] designed the character; in early development of the game, Chiaki was envisioned to be its tallest character.<ref>{{cite book|title=Danganronpa 1.2 Official Setting Materials Collection|year=2013|isbn=978-4047293663|publisher=Famitsu}}</ref>
In regards to characterizing the [[artificial intelligence]] Chiaki in the anime series, a second, [[human]] Chiaki was envisioned as having once had a fateful meeting with anger-driven Hajime in order to bring across him aid in the story across his multiple dilemmas, including his incoming transformation into his alter-ego [[Izuru Kamukura]], and his developing relationshi with future series' antagonist [[Junko Enoshima]], with the artificial intelligence Chiaki basing her physical appearance and actions off of Izuru's memories of the human Ultimate Gamer.<ref>{{cite video |year = January 2016|title =Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School Zetsubou-hen Character Profiles II|medium = [[Blu-ray]] |publisher =NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan}}</ref> Shortly after the death of the Ultimate Gamer in the anime series, the artificial intelligence Chiaki makes an appearance reenacting the first scenes of ''Goodbye Despair''. Kodaka was initially concerned that people who did not play ''Goodbye Despair'' and solely watched the anime series would not understand the distinction between the artificial intelligence Chiaki and her human counterpart as the anime did not explicitly elaborate as such in the scene; consequently as a result, the final episode of the anime series elaborates heavily in dialogue that there were two separate, unrelated characters using the same identity and interacting with Izuru/Hajime.<ref name="oto"/>
In Japanese, Chiaki is voiced by [[Kana Hanazawa]] whom producer Yoshinori Terasawa felt was a good fit.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/523/523398/index-2.html|title=【まり探】目指すは"ダンガンロンパ"というジャンルの確立――『スーパーダンガンロンパ2 さよなら絶望学園』開発者インタビュー|website=Dengeki Online|accessdate=May 23, 2021|language=Japanese}}</ref> Hanazawa described Chiaki as "someone who may not stand out among her classmates who ooze uniqueness, but once she begins talking it is clear she has a strong sense of justice and is a girl who is considerate of her friends", citing things she had to be careful of when voicing Chiaki to be not to talk too fast or too much, and to speak slowly as if she were thinking about what she was saying as she was saying it, while speeding up her dialogue flow on the subject of video games.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.famitsu.com/news/201608/30114402.html|title=【先出し週刊ファミ通】アニメ『ダンガンロンパ３』でまさかの登場を果たした、七海千秋役花澤香菜さんインタビュー！（2016年9月1日発売号）|website=Famitsu|accessdate=May 22, 2021}}</ref> In English, Chiaki is voiced by [[Christine Marie Cabanos]].<ref>{{cite tweet |author=Caitlin Glass |user=christinemcabz
