Persona 3 portable protagonist11/9/2023 ![]() In the English version of the game, he doesn’t actually have any piercings, which rather undermines these titles. His canon name is not as easy to distinguish, and he is referenced as “The pierced boy” in the Japanese version of Persona or the “Boy with earring” during a cameo in Persona 2. Last but not least, the protagonist for the original Persona, released all the way back in 1996 is another silent, unnamed character. Persona 1 / Revelations: Persona protagonist name It’s only a small handful of references along with a novel appearance. Persona wasn’t such a big deal these days, so these characters have not been granted much inclusion elsewhere. The main character in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is the female protagonist Maya Amano. The main character in Persona 2: Innocent Sin is the male protagonist Tatsuya Suou. There are two main characters in Persona 2, with each one taking the lead in distinct instalments of the story. In the earlier Persona titles, the main characters were named in the traditional fashion – they were given default names that could be deleted and changed by the player. Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Persona 2: Eternal Punishment protagonist names With only limited official use of her name so far, perhaps we’ll get a more solid confirmation in future. There have been a few other names banded about such as Hamuko, but these seem to only be fan ideas. She doesn’t have as many other appearances as the other main characters, but Kotone is a playable character in Persona Q2. The name Kotone Shiomi is far more recent, and the general pattern above is that the earlier name tends to be changed, which is why this is my pick. The only other time she has been named specifically was as Minako Arisato in a comic anthology. The Persona 3 Portable female protagonist appears to have the canon name Kotone Shiomi, which is derived from a Persona 3 stage adaptation. Persona 3 Portable added the neat option of a second protagonist choice, which changed up various aspects of the story along with the social links. Persona 3 Portable – Female protagonist name ![]() Personally, I’m still holding out hope for some sort of Persona 3 remaster or remake where we’ll get to experience Makoto’s story once again. Like Persona 4’s protagonist, Makoto can be battled in the Velvet Room in Persona 5 Royal as part of a DLC battle pack. He is a main character using his canon name in Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, and he could be selected as the main character in the original Persona Q. Persona 3 doesn’t have quite as many spin-offs as the more recent Persona games, but there are still a handful of occasions where Makoto shows up. This includes a series of Persona 3 anime movies, along with multiple gaming appearances. Once again the initial Persona 3 manga adaptation had a different name, which was Minato Arisato, but subsequent appearances have confirmed Makoto Yuki as the canon name. The protagonist for Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES is Makoto Yuki. Persona 3 / Persona 3 FES / Persona 3 Portable protagonist names There is also a well-received Persona 4 Animation featuring Yu as the lead, and whilst he has limited dialogue here, it expands on his character a little more. In many of these, Yu is named and has a fully-formed personality that doesn’t depend on player dialogue choices. Yu even appears as an optional DLC enemy in Persona 5 Royal, who can be battled in the Velvet Room once unlocked. These include Persona Q, Persona 4 Arena, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Persona 4 has a formidable list of spin-offs which star Yu and the rest of the Investigation Team. The canon name Yu Narukami was used in Persona 4 Arena and has been established ever since, with his multiple appearances across various mediums. ![]() A Persona 4 manga adaption from 2008 named him Souji Seta, and there’s even a stage adaptation where he takes the name Hayato Asakawa. Like Joker, this is another name that switched around a few times in Persona 4’s early days. The Persona 4 protagonist is named Yu Narukami. ![]() Persona 4 / Persona 4 Golden protagonist name Again, he is either specifically named Ren Amamiya or referred to as Joker. Joker has also appeared in numerous other games, including spin-off titles Persona Q2, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, Persona 5 Strikers and of course Super Smash Bros Ultimate as a DLC character. This includes various other Manga books, Persona 5 The Animation and some comic adaptations. However, every subsequent appearance has seen Joker’s name either changed to Ren Amamiya or left out altogether, and the canon name of Ren Amamiya is now accepted. Therefore lots of fans ran with the name Akira during their Persona 5 playthroughs. This one is slightly controversial, as this initially appeared to be Akira Kurusu based on a Persona 5 manga released shortly after Persona 5’s Japanese release in 2016. Do the Persona games have canon romance? Persona 5 / Persona 5 Royal protagonist name ![]()
