This article is about the main protagonist of Persona 5 who has the Phantom Thieves code name "Joker". For other people or concepts in the Megami Tensei franchise going by "Joker", see Joker.

Ren Amamiya is a playable character and the protagonist of Persona 5 and its spin-offs. He is the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and goes by the code name Joker among his teammates. The name Ren Amamiya was originally the protagonist's name in Persona 5 The Animation, later adopted for Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 5: Mementos Mission. The name became the protagonist's default name in the 2022 re-release of Persona 5 Royal, which the game defaults to if its text language settings are changed.[1]

No reason provided.

Ren Amamiya is a second-year transfer student at Shujin Academy and is from an unnamed town out in the country[2]. He has a strong sense of justice and leadership skills. He presents himself as a quiet, unassuming student after being falsely accused for assault. He is shown to be strong-willed and courageous, risking himself for his friends and others. This is especially true in the Metaverse as Joker, where he's cocky and and assertive, showing off and being flashy where he can. He gains the power of the Wild Card and finds himself in the Metaverse learning to change hearts and reform society by eventually helping to found the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, serving as their leader.

Ren was designed to evoke the concept of a stylish cat or black panther with a mysterious and charming air, as a contrast to the 'loyal and faithful dog' characterization design of Yu Narukami in Persona 4.[3]

With the previous work's Persona 4 protagonist, we wished his design to convey a loyal, sincere, and faithful dog.
