Profile

Dojima is a detective in the city of Inaba. Dojima's wife Chisato passed away in a car accident, and he now raises his daughter Nanako by himself, but his work-life balance affects their relationship. He is shown coming home drunk, not coming at all, or having to go back on his word and leaving Nanako disappointed. He is also the younger brother of the protagonist's unnamed mother, and the protagonist comes to live with him while his parents are overseas. As the protagonist starts becoming friends with people who previously went missing and continuously turns up at crime scenes, Dojima becomes concerned about what his nephew has been up to since arriving in Inaba.

Dojima wears a dark suit with a crooked red tie. He's never seen wearing his jacket and usually carries it over his shoulder. When designing Dojima, Shigenori Soejima made his face look unfriendly to portray his distance from Nanako and the protagonist, but also focused on the design of his eyes and eyebrows to communicate kindness and honesty. Soejima hoped that his overall tired look would express that there was something sad about him.

Trivia

• 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.
