The protagonist of ''Persona 4'' is a teenage boy from a large, unnamed city who moves to the smaller city of [[Inaba]] for a year to live with his [[Ryotaro Dojima|uncle]] and [[Nanako Dojima|cousin]] while his parents work overseas. He begins attending Yasogami High as a 2nd year high school student and quickly makes friends with fellow 2nd years [[Yosuke Hanamura]], [[Chie Satonaka]], and [[Yukiko Amagi]]. Together, the four of them are the founding members of the [[Investigation Team]] that comes together to use their [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]s to solve the serial murder case. During his stay in Inaba, he grows close to Nanako, who greets him every day when he returns home. She begins addressing him as her big brother, and he cares for her while his uncle is working late. Though he is a silent protagonist, his possible dialogue choices during the game's school and slice of life moments have a humorous tone, while his choices during the more serious moments help shape him as a leader who keeps the team on track. He often has the option to tell the others to remain calm so they can focus on uncovering the truth of the murder incidents. | |||
