The '''Law Hero''' is the title of a playable character in {{Link|Game|SMT1}}. He is a devoted youth who joins the [[Hero (Shin Megami Tensei)|Hero]] in combating the Demons plaguing [[Tokyo]]. True to his namesake, he represents the Law [[Alignment]] in the game.

Law Hero does not have a default name in-game. During development of ''Shin Megami Tensei'', he was called '''Yoshio''' among the game's staff.<ref>{{Cite Interview|quote=金子：開発段階だと、ふつお（ヒーロー）、よしお（ロウヒーロー）、わるお（カオスヒーロー）、ヒロインはふつこ。|translquote=Kaneko: During the development stages, [they were named] Futsuo (hero), Yoshio (law hero), Waruo (chaos hero), and the heroine was called Futsuko.|publ=Kazuma Kaneko Works I|publisher=Shinkigensha|page=p. 2|url=[https://megatengaku.wordpress.com/readings/interviews/kazuma-kaneko-works-i-interview/ Kazuma Kaneko Works I – Interview]|archive=|published=|retrieved=October 18, 2023|site=Megatengaku.wordpress.com|type=}}</ref> In the short stories included in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Character Profile: Steven Report]]'', he was given the name '''Yuji'''.

In {{Link|Game|SMT2}}'s post-end game, a man outside [[Shinjuku (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Shinjuku]] indirectly references the Law Hero and the other two Heroes by recounting how the three men had teleported back to Tokyo from the [[Diamond Realm]].
