Cooper of course is like Makoto, and about everyone else...

Ninjoy resembles Kyoko a bit, with how cool she is about everything.

Wylan B and Chuck are both kind of like Kazuichi.

Akari is sort of a female Kaito, cuz she's motivational and helps the MC out.

Alberto was the unnecessary first killer... so I guess Leon. xp

Xandra has a similar personality to Gundham, since they always talk about delusional stuff.

Allan is just rude to everyone, so... Byakuya or Fuyuhiko?

Utah is full Ibuki.

Timm wasn't based on anyone... I just wanted to make an extroverted, showy character who likes to dance.

Elle is Chihiro... because both of them are too pure.

Clover at first was going to be Ibuki, but then that kind of changed into Mahiru, and now Hina.

Deano's a gentleman but he's smarter than Gonta.

Scooter is totally chill. I guess you can mirror her to Rantaro or Akane.

Gremmie is part Nagito and Rantaro, like I said in a previous comment.

Tohru is mainly based off of Tsumugi for her geeky hobbies, but she can be pretty laidback, too.
