Kunino-sagiri
クニノサギリ

Model from Persona 4

Kunino-sagiri is a character in the Persona series.

Profile

Origin

Kunino-sagiri is named after Kuni no Sagiri no Kami, one of the various deities created by Izanagi and Izanami in the Kojiki. Its name means the fog from the land or country, and its counterpart is its sibling Ame no Sagiri no Kami whose name means the fog from the skies or heavens. Some believe that the skies and land parts of their names are only titles to contrast the two, while others believe they refer to certain places.[1]

Design

On Kunino-sagiri's design, Shigenori Soejima says it represents Taro Namatame's belief that what he's doing is correct. The eyes look in different directions to show how Namatame is incapable of seeing what's really going on. Additionally, the antenna shows how he's getting a signal or orders from someone else.[2]

Persona 4

After cornering Taro Namatame on the top floor of Heaven, the Investigation Team rescues Nanako Dojima from him, but Namatame demands they give her back. His desire to prevent more people from dying, and his belief that only he can save them, creates a Shadow that fuses with Namatame.[3] The group observes as he attracts more Shadows which he then merges with.[4][5] This results in a being called Kunino-sagiri which attacks the Investigation Team. At the beginning of the encounter, Kuni tells the Investigation Team not to interfere and that he will save Nanako. After the battle, Namatame returns to normal.
