Yamato-Sumeragi
Yamato-Sumeragi is a Persona in Persona 4 Golden. It is the ultimate Persona of Naoto Shirogane.
Profile
Origin
Yamato-Sumeragi's Japanese name is Yamato Sumera Mikoto which is derived from Yamato Takeru no Sumera Mikoto, a title given to Yamato Takeru in the Hitachi Fudoki.[1]
Design
Yamato-Sumeragi looks similar to Naoto's Yamato-Takeru, but with long flowing blonde hair. Following how Yamato-Takeru's design was influenced by The Rose of Versailles,[2] Yamato-Sumeragi's hair might be a reference to the Versailles character Oscar François.
Gameplay
Persona 4 Golden
In Golden, Naoto starts with Sukuna-Hikona. It transfigures into Yamato-Takeru upon maxing Naoto's Social Link and can further transfigure into Yamato-Sumeragi during winter.
