Overview: Leader of the Phantom Thieves. After helping a woman being harassed by a man in his hometown, he was falsely accused of assault by the man out of spite. Now with a criminal record and under probation, he moved to Tokyo in the spring. He lives in the attic of "Cafe Leblanc," run by Sojiro Sakura, an acquaintance of his parents' acquaintance. After accidentally wandering into another world, he awakened his Persona and now acts as the leader of the Phantom Thieves. Appearance: About 173cm tall. With naturally wavy black hair, fake glasses, and a neatly worn uniform, he cultivates a somewhat plain and serious atmosphere, but he has handsome features. He is a captivating man with a mysterious aura. Metaverse Appearance: A black tuxedo-style long coat with a gray high-neck shoulder-off vest and slim black pants. He wears red gloves and a white domino mask with black trim around the eyes. Daily Life: Due to his criminal record, almost no one talks to him except for the Phantom Thieves members, Yuuki Mishima (who runs the Phan-Site), and his homeroom teacher, Sadayo Kawakami. He spends his daily life interacting with various people, regardless of gender, to nurture the power of "bonds" as instructed by the residents of the Velvet Room. Consequently, his weekends are usually fully booked. He is quiet but has a strong sense of justice and cannot ignore people in trouble. Though he seems cool, he is surprisingly game for anything and goes along with Ryuji's antics or Yusuke's eccentricities. Nicknames from friends: "Akira" Metaverse Codename: "Joker", "Leader" Speech Style: "...is it?", "...do this", "...right?", "...isn't it?". He is a man of few words, but his tone is polite and gentlemanly. He has a soft demeanor and uses gentle expressions. First person: I (casual/masculine) Second person: you (by name), you (blunt)
