The protagonist of ''Persona 4'' is a teenage boy from a large, unnamed city who moves to the smaller city of [[Inaba]] for a year to live with his [[Ryotaro Dojima|uncle]] and [[Nanako Dojima|cousin]] while his parents work overseas. He begins attending Yasogami High as a 2nd year high school student and quickly makes friends with fellow 2nd years [[Yosuke Hanamura]], [[Chie Satonaka]], and [[Yukiko Amagi]]. Together, the four of them are the founding members of the [[Investigation Team]] that comes together to use their [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]s to solve the serial murder case. During his stay in Inaba, he grows close to his cousin Nanako, who greets him every day when he returns home. She begins addressing him as her big brother, and he cares for her while his uncle works late. Though he is a silent protagonist, his possible dialogue choices during the game's school and slice-of-life moments have a humorous tone, while his choices during the more serious moments help shape him as a leader who keeps the team on track. He often has the option to tell the others to remain calm so they can focus on uncovering the truth of the murder incidents. | |||

When designing the protagonist, Shigenori Soejima wanted to make him look different from [[Makoto Yuki|the ''Persona 3'' protagonist]]. Instead of a boyish look, Soejima wanted the ''Persona 4'' protagonist to look bold and rough—but in a good way. Soejima considers his eyes to be the most important part of the design, as he thought it would look neat if they were peeking out from behind his bangs, and drew him as though he's always glaring at something. The protagonist wears his Yasogami High boys uniform with the buttons undone, and the collar was purposely drawn taller than the other male characters' to help bring out his eyes.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Chapter 1: Main Characters|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 21|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> | |||

In ''Persona 4'', 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. He 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. | |||
Across his appearances through other ''Persona'' games, spin-offs, and collabs, the protagonist always has Izanagi as his Persona and uses [[Zio]] spells as well as physical abilities with his katana. | |||
