Yu Narukami is a playable character and the protagonist of Persona 4 and its spin-offs. The name Yu Narukami was originally the protagonist's name in Persona 4 The Animation, later adopted for Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4: Dancing All Night. The name became the protagonist's default name in the Steam and subsequent re-releases of Persona 4 Golden, which the game defaults to if its text language settings are changed.

Gameplay

The protagonist starts out with Izanagi. Unlike other party members, the protagonist can never be swapped out of battle, and having him faint will result in an automatic Game Over.

The protagonist has the special property of being a Wild Card, making him able to summon and switch between different Personas in battle, as well as change his stock of Personas to an extent. This lets him swap out between multiple different strategies, as well as switch his elemental affinities.

Trivia

Persona 4 Hero:

• According to the Persona 4 Art Book, Soejima states if the P4 Hero was a Sentai Ranger he would be the Blue Ranger rather than the Red Ranger.
  • Despite this, his later outfit is ironically the Red Ranger in both P4G and P4D.
• According to the Persona 5 Art Book, the Hero is described as being designed to remind you of a dog: loyal and sincere.

Yu Narukami:

Souji Seta:

• In the official English release, Udon spells his name "Soji Seta."
• It appears Souji was able to form bonds with both Strength and Sun social links, despite it being impossible in game.

Yuuya Seta/Hayato Asakawa

• Like the Persona 5 Stage Plays, the Hero's name is changed with each showing as the audience would choose the name.
