Yamato-Sumeragi is a Persona in Persona 4 Golden. It is the ultimate Persona of Naoto Shirogane.

Profile

Origin

Yamato-Sumeragi's Japanese name is Yamato Sumera Mikoto which is derived from Yamato Takeru no Sumera Mikoto, a title given to Yamato Takeru in the Hitachi Fudoki.

Design

Yamato-Sumeragi looks similar to Naoto's Yamato-Takeru, but with long flowing blonde hair. Following how Yamato-Takeru's design was influenced by The Rose of Versailles, Yamato-Sumeragi's hair might be a reference to the Versailles character Oscar François.

Gameplay

Persona 4 Golden

In Golden, Naoto starts with Sukuna-Hikona. It transfigures into Yamato-Takeru upon maxing Naoto's Social Link and can further transfigure into Yamato-Sumeragi during winter.

Nomenclature

The English localization shortened the name to Yamato-Sumeragi. Sumeragi is another reading of 皇 and also refers to the presence of the Imperial line.
