Protagonist (主人公, Shujinkō?)
Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Johnny Yong Bosch (English)
Persona: Izanagi of The Fool arcanum, Izanagi-no-okami of The World arcanum

The silent male protagonist of the game who represents the player, following the tradition of the Megami Tensei games. He has silver hair with a shape close to a bowl cut. He attends Yasogami High School with Chie, Yosuke, and Yukiko in the same grade. As with most protagonists of Megami Tensei games, his entire personality and name is decided and portrayed by the player's in-game actions and decisions. He wields two-handed sword type weapons. Unlike the protagonist of Persona 3, he doesn't use other alternative weapons.

His Persona, Izanagi of the Fool Arcanum, appears to wear a long coat reminiscent of Japanese Yakuza and wields the Amenonuhoko, which in-game, is a spear with a blade resembling a scout/combat knife. There is also an Izanagi-no-okami, which is the only Persona of the World Arcana in the game. Izanagi is known to use Zio (electric) spells and some buffs/debuffs. The Main Character also has the ability to change personae, similar to what the characters in the first three installments of the series were able to do.



In the manga, his name is Sōuji Seta (瀬多 総司, Seta Sōuji?). In this portrayal he is depicted as being a distant, but otherwise friendly loner with a pessimistic outlook on life due to having to move frequently as a result of his parents' changing careers.

Yosuke Hanamura (花村 陽介, Hanamura Yōsuke?)
Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo (Japanese), Yuri Lowenthal (English)
Persona: Jiraiya and Susano-o of The Magician arcanum

An awkward boy with slightly unkempt reddish-brown hair who usually walks around with a music player and red/orange headphones around his neck. He uses dual blades ranging from knives to daggers in battle. He is usually very clumsy and often used as comic relief through physical comedy in situations where he either unintentionally causes himself pain, or is forced to go through Chie's angry beatings when he provokes her. When going from place to place, he is usually on his bike.

His Persona is Jiraiya of The Magician Arcanum, whose head vaguely resembles a cartoon frog's, and wears a white disco suit and a red scarf. It also has a distinctive ' V ' on its chest. Jiraiya uses wind spells and is also able to use healing spells. Once his Social Link, The Magician Arcana, is maxed out, Jiraiya will evolve into Susano-o.



Chie Satonaka (里中 千枝, Satonaka Chie?)
Voiced by: Yui Horie (Japanese), Danielle Judovits (English)
Persona: Tomoe and Suzuka Gongen of The Chariot arcanum

An upbeat girl with short light-brown hair who usually wears a green athletic jacket decorated with buttons. Her weapon is a pair of greaves. She has an obsession with Kung fu, and even uses them in battle, similar to Lisa Silverman of Persona 2. Her obsession goes so far that she even attacks Yosuke over a Chinese Martial arts film DVD. Most of the time, she is friendly, cheerful, and energetic, but she has a short temper, especially with Yosuke. She and Yukiko and Rise are unskillful cookers, providing normally unpalatable to terribly awful dishes to the main crew several times during the story progress.

Her Persona is Tomoe of The Chariot Arcanum, a muscular female figure wearing a yellow outfit reminiscent of Bruce Lee's Game of Death costume, wielding a double bladed naginata. Tomoe Gozen is shown to use both physical and ice spells. However Teddie will take over as the main ice caster when he comes into play, thus Tomoe will stop learning ice spells near the level the player obtains Teddie. Tomoe evolves into Suzuka Gongen after maxing out her Social Link, the one for The Chariot Arcana.



Yukiko Amagi (天城 雪子, Amagi Yukiko?)
Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu (Japanese), Amanda Winn Lee (English)
Persona: Konohana Sakuya and Amaterasu of The Priestess arcanum

An elegant but introverted girl with long groomed black hair and a red hairband in it who usually wears either a red jacket or a pink yukata, carrying with her either a paper fan, which she also uses in battle, or a red umbrella. Her family hosts a famous ryokan in the city and Yukiko is always busy for training herself to succeed the business. She is branded the next owner of the ryokan but feels stress for her name.

Her Persona is Konohana-sakuya of The Priestess Arcanum, resembling a Tokusatsu heroine and being almost completely pink in color, her uniform is reminiscent of a high school cheerleader`s uniform. Like Yukiko, it appears to use its petal-like wings as fans. Konohana-sakuya is skilled with healing and fire spells. Konohana-sakuya will evolve into Amaterasu once the Priestess Social Link (her Social Link) is maxed out.



Kanji Tatsumi (巽 完二, Tatsumi Kanji?)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese), Troy Baker (English)
Persona: Take-Mikazuchi and Rokuten-Maō of The Emperor arcanum

A male delinquent with a bright-blonde/silver, swept-back, crewcut who has a scar above his left eye, many piercings, metal jewelry, and wears a black sweater with a skull-and-crossbones design on it under his school uniform. He uses brute force in combat, using weapons such as steel chairs and shields. He apparently gets into a lot of fights in the streets. He also attends Yasogami High. His mother runs a textile shop in their home with Amagi's family being their acquainted customer; Kanji is skilled with tailoring for this reason.

His Persona is Take Mikazuchi of The Emperor Arcanum, which, like Kanji, is a large, imposing figure with a skeleton-like design exterior. He uses electric spells and physical attacks. Once The Emperor Social Link, the Social Link with him, is completed, Take-Mikazuchi will evolve into Rokuten Maō.



Rise Kujikawa (久慈川 りせ, Kujikawa Rise?)
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Laura Bailey (English)
Persona: Himiko and Kanzeon of The Lovers arcanum

A cheery-looking female with bright-red hair tied in two pigtails. She was one of the most popular idols in Japan, but suddenly quit her job and transferred to Yasogami High School as a freshman out of reasons unknown. Her look is reminiscent to Alana from Revelations: Persona. She is the support character after Teddie.

Her Persona is Himiko of The Lovers Arcanum, who wears a white gown, has a satellite dish for a face and holds an object similar to the torch wielded by the actual Himiko but in the form of a visor which is held over Rise's face. She will provide background and enemy information for the frontlines during and outside of battles. Her ultimate persona obtained when the main character maxes out the Social Link with her, the one for The Lovers Arcana, is Kanzeon.



Naoto Shirogane (白鐘 直斗, Shirogane Naoto?)
Voiced by: Romi Paku (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)[citation needed]
Persona: Sukuna Hikona and Yamato Takeru of The Fortune arcanum

Young, serious-looking, and possessing an androgynous appearance, Naoto almost always wears an officer's cap, conveying an appearance not unlike the classical gakuran school uniforms of the late 19th century. Combined with body language and gestures, she is reminiscent of Raidou Kuzunoha, combined with the protagonist of Persona 3. Similar to Takaya of Persona 3, Naoto uses a revolver in combat. A well-known detective, Naoto was dubbed the "Detective Prince" by the media, though still attending Yasogami High.

Naoto's Persona is Sukuna Hikona of Fortune Arcanum, a Persona that is smaller than its own user and wears a cape that resemble butterfly wings over a blue suit and shorts. It uses an energy sword longer than itself and is capable of using almighty, light, dark, & physical skills. When Naoto's Social Link, Fortune, is completed, her Persona will evolve into Yamato Takeru.

I know. The Protagonist has his own special personality in the manga named Souji Seta. That's why I put him there.

We have the same favorite character!

Male = Yousuke

Female = Rise

They are my all time favorite characters.
