Phoenix Ranger Featherman R television program in Persona 3 Reload

Phoenix Ranger Featherman (Japanese: 不死鳥戦隊フェザーマン, romanized 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.

The Featherman show featured in Persona 3 is Featherman R (Japanese: フェザーマンR, romanized Fezāman R).

When the protagonist checks what's on TV at the Iwatodai Dorm, sometimes there will be a preview for the next episode of Featherman.

The protagonist gets a pink Featherman mask after the summer festival which he displays on his dorm room shelf. When in the lounge, Fuuka will occasionally have some Featherman statues of Feather Hawk, Feather Owl, Feather Asas, Feather Falcon and Feather Parakeet.

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, romanized Neo fezāman).[a]
