Meet The Characters: The Heroes
of Persona 4

Get to know some of Persona 4’s
dungeon-crawling, Persona-wielding protagonists

In the small town of Inaba, nestled
in the Japanese countryside, a young man settles in with his uncle and cousin.
Sudden circumstances have forced the arrangement, but it is for the most part an
agreeable place to live, if a little boring. Everything changes when a shocking
and mysterious killing leaves a town aghast and searching for answers. As all
signs point to involvement of a twisted serial murderer, a young hero and his
friends will discover hidden powers and use them to save innocents from certain
death. Together, they must find the trail of the unknown attacker… before they
strike again!

Intimate yet profound, Persona 4’s
story is driven by exceptionally well-written and voiced characters, each
troubled by the events unfolding for their own reasons, each destined to
discover something new about themselves over the course of their epic journey.
Read below to check out some of the major protagonists in Persona 4:

PROTAGONIST

live with his uncle and cousin. After awakening to his potential as a Persona
user, he opens the door to a mysterious world.

CHIE SATONAKA
A classmate of the Protagonist’s who was born and raised in Inaba. She is a
cheerful, energetic girl, but what dark burden does she bear within herself? And
what could her talents as a Persona-user be?

YOSUKE HANAMURA
The Protagonist’s classmate at Yasogami High School. He has an amicable
personality and is adept at reading social situations. He, too, awakens as a
Persona user, but what triggers his awakening?

YUKIKO AMAGA

She joins the group of Persona users, but how is she involved in the murder
case?
