Phoenix Ranger Featherman (Japanese: 不死鳥戦隊フェザーマン, Hepburn: Fushichō sentai fezāman) is a popular tokusatsu TV franchise in the Persona universe. Likely based on 90s Super Sentai show Chōjin Sentai Jetman, it follows a team of bird-styled heroes. Their adventures often parallel or foreshadow plot events in the game where they appear.

Featherman comes up primarily in the Temperance Social Link where Yuuta Minami is a fan of Neo Featherman (Japanese: ネオフェザーマン, Hepburn: Neo fezāman).[a]

Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight
One of the songs composed for the P3 and P5 dancing games is "Let's Go! Phoenix Ranger Featherman" sung by Yumi Kawamura and Lyn. It is accompanied by an animated opening video for Featherman Victory that uses some of Yukari's introduction cutscene from Arena Ultimax. Featherman DLC costumes are also available for S.E.E.S. and the Phantom Thieves.
