Profile

Origin

Main section: Yamato Takeru § Origin

Yamato Sumeragi's Japanese name is Yamato Sumera Mikoto which is derived from Yamato Takeru no Sumera Mikoto, a title given to Yamato Takeru in the Hitachi Fudoki.

Design

Yamato Sumeragi looks similar to Naoto's Yamato Takeru, but with long flowing blonde hair. Following how Yamato Takeru's design was influenced by The Rose of Versailles, Yamato Sumeragi's hair might be a reference to the Versailles character Oscar François.

Gameplay

Persona 4 Golden

In Golden, Naoto starts with Sukuna-Hikona. It transfigures into Yamato Takeru upon maxing Naoto's Social Link and can further transfigure into Yamato Sumeragi during winter.
