Koromaru is a character in Persona 3. He is a Shiba Inu and a member of S.E.E.S.

Profile

Koromaru is an albino Shiba Inu with gray fur and a white underside. He has a distinct winged collar that acts as his Evoker and gives him the ability to summon a Persona. He is initially introduced as a stray dog who hangs around Naganaki Shrine near the dormitory due to his owner being the deceased former head priest of the shrine. After he defeats a Shadow that attacks Naganaki Shrine and is shown to have the potential, Koromaru joins S.E.E.S. and becomes an essential member of the protagonist's party as the game progresses. Though he cannot speak, Koromaru is understood to be a loyal companion, and Aigis frequently interprets on his behalf.

In Persona 3 Reload, Koromaru has a black dog harness with a white first aid kit that he wears in the Tartarus. During Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, he has an orange hoodie that looks similar to the one Ken Amada wears in Persona 3.

Persona 3 FES

The Journey

During the main Persona 3 campaign, now titled "The Journey", Koromaru can be taken on walks at night. The protagonist can also attempt to take him along to the film festival.

Persona 3 Portable

Koromaru is the Strength Social Link for the female protagonist. During his Social Link, she can take him on walks, similar to how the male protagonist can walk him in FES.

Persona 3 Reload

Instead of a Social Link, Koromaru has Linked Episodes with the male protagonist. Koromaru's walks return as a nighttime dorm activity. Furthermore, he can now have his coat brushed, and he will occasionally want to watch a television show about wolves.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

Koromaru is paired up with Ken Amada as one of the main fighters in Arena Ultimax. He enters Inaba with Yukari and Ken after the rest of the Shadow Operatives go missing. Yukiko Amagi periodically gets his name wrong, instead calling him Gengomaru.

Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight

Koromaru is not a dancing character, but he is the main subject in the animated music video that accompanies Voice (ATLUS Tsuchiya Remix).

In Ken Amada's first Social Link, for Koromaru's sake, he expresses his disappointment about Koromaru not being present to Elizabeth, who says that she didn't think Koromaru could dance, and that her master Igor, wouldn't appreciate it.
