[[Shigenori Soejima]] designed Izanagi to look manly: He has a boys' school uniform, a knife, and he gives off the vibes of an ''[[Wikipedia:Ōendan|Ōendan]]'' leader. Soejima picked the large knife as a weapon even though Izanagi is depicted wielding a spear because young Japanese men thought that carrying a knife would make them feel manly and he wanted the protagonist's youth to reflect in the design. He also wanted to add some of Izanagi's manly design elements to the protagonist as well, but felt that would make the character's design a bit too cliche.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters: Protagonist|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 21|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> Izanagi's shoes are based on tengu geta which has a single raised tooth on the bottom.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|chapter=Characters: Protagonist|book=[[Persona 4 Official Design Works]]|author=Atlus, Famitsu Editorial Department|publisher=Famitsu (2008)|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=p. 32|transl=|isbn=978-4757745087}}</ref> | [[Shigenori Soejima]] designed Izanagi to look manly: He has a boys' school uniform, a knife, and he gives off the vibes of an ''[[Wikipedia:Ōendan|Ōendan]]'' leader.
