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.[1]

Profile

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.
