The owner of the Palace of the Earth Spirits, which was built in the Remains of Blazing Hell. She is very quiet and has a flexible mindset. Koishi is her younger sister. With her third eye that is on the left side of her chest, she can read her target’s mind. Due to her ability to read the hearts and minds of others, a lot of yokais dislike her. Because she knows that, she often spends the whole day in her palace. However, the palace is full of animals that like her, because they cannot normally be understood.

The masks that float around her all have different expressions, and she changes emotions by wearing them. If even a single mask goes missing, her emotional balance tips and she loses control. When she lost her Mask of Hope, Miko Toyosatomimi prepared a new one for her, but she didn’t want to wear it.

A daughter from the Mononobe clan from the Asuka era. She became a shikaisen by falsely dying and letting go of her body. But, it’s unknown whether she completely became a shikaisen, and to be exact, she’s a “monk who claims to be a shikaisen.” Her ability is to manipulate feng shui. She’s a hard worker who dreams of becoming a first-class sage. She is very straightforward, but she overthinks things and easily gets mixed up. She’s very aggressive to yokais, and often gets into pointless arguments.

Rei’sen
A moon rabbit who lives at the Lunar Capital. She loves rumors and is a coward. She easily gets carried away, but sometimes realizes how conceited she is and then regrets it. She got tired of making mochi, so she ran away to Earth in the past. When she ran away, she met Eirin Yagokoro, who figured out that she left the moon, so Eirin made her write a letter and return to the Watatsuki Sisters. Afterward, Toyohime Watatsuki named her after a pet that ran away (Reisen Udongein Inaba), and to pay for running away, she became their pet.

Persona 5 Ryuji Sakamoto English Introduction Video

persona-5-screenshot-016

Atlus USA is continuing with their series of character introduction videos that also serve as English dub samples for the main characters in Persona 5. Last week we saw Ann introduced and now the character Ryuji Sakamoto, who will be voiced by Max Mittelman, is given the spotlight with an English trailer alongside an interview video with the voice actor for the character.

Ryuji was a promising track star who tragically suffered a career ending injury due to “overtraining” by the sadistic coach Kamoshida. With no future in the sport he loves and experiencing first-hand the evil of “shitty adults,” Ryuji becomes a social pariah who rebels against a society he perceives as corrupt. Even though he’s the definition of a troublemaker, he has a kind heart and always puts the Phantom Thieves before himself. In short, Ryuji is a true friend that can always be counted on to have your back in a jam.

You can check out that video plus an interview with his voice actor below and as for the game itself, Persona 5 is set to be released in North America and Europe on February 14th for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
