Yamaku High School - Setting of Katawa Shoujo

Yamaku Academy is a high school for the disabled, located somewhere in modern Japan. It is the main setting of Katawa Shoujo.

Description

This school primarily caters to students with various physical disabilities, although they will occasionally accept those who are able-bodied as well. However, they will not accept mentally-disabled students.

The school uniform of Yamaku is not actually a single mandatory uniform. Instead it's a collection of clothing articles that the students can combine for their attire. This allows students to choose clothing that better fits their disability (such as Rin and Miki).

Important Locations

Yamaku High features several locations:

  • Main Building
  • Medical Building
  • Library
  • Gym
  • Male and Female Dorms
  • Running Track
  • Pool (talked about, but never explicitly shown)
  • Cafeteria
  • Yamaku foundation offices

Clubs and Teams

Yamaku Academy has many clubs, actively pushing students to join them:

  • Art Club
  • Book Club (stated by Misha to be the most popular club)
  • Music Club (mentioned by Lilly)
    • The Deaf Band (mentioned by Misha; it's unknown if this is part of the music club or a separate entity)
  • Literature Club (mentioned by Lilly and Misha on random occasions)
  • School Newspaper (Hanako joins this club during Lilly's route)
  • Photography Club
  • Science Club (started by Hisao and Mutou in Emi's route)

Additionally, there are two sports teams:

Trivia

  • Hisao, upon first seeing it, comments on the gate being too 'pompous' for what it is.
  • Despite having a 'grand' exterior, classrooms and other areas appear quite plain and simple, with basic wooden desks, old windows and classic blackboards (but as Hisao would say: 'Simple and efficient.').
  • It is suggested that Yamaku has a large amount of funding, which would explain its size and its many features.
  • "Yamaku" is not a real Japanese word.
  • Some of the photos of the academy are actual photos of Brown University.
  • Yamaku's exact location is never explicitly revealed. However, a few hints exist as to its possible location:
  • When asked if Yamaku's mascot was a fish, Aura replied "Sure. Why not?"
