Trivia

  • A printing of the Persona 4 Official Design Works mistakenly lists Dojima's birth year as 1970. This has since been fixed for the eBook and other prints. Books released later, such as Persona Club P4, also correctly list his birth year as 1969.
  • During the development of Persona 4 Arena, Arc System Works jokingly suggested adding Ryotaro Dojima as a playable character, with him summoning Nanako as his Persona. The idea was dropped as it likely would not have elicited a positive reaction from Atlus if presented.[4]
