Description

Kanji is a first-year at Yasogami High School and known to many as a notorious delinquent since middle school. He lives together with his mother because his father is deceased, while running a textile shop together. Kanji has certain sexuality issues, which are a source of insecurity for him and also a running gag in the original game. By the end of it, he acknowledges a deeper acceptance and understanding regarding feminine and masculine interests, and points out that his sexual orientation is not really the issue. After accepting himself, he gains the ability to wield the Persona, Take-Mikazuchi.

Despite his gruff outlook and rough personality, he loves knitting and cooking and often uses his rough personality due to misunderstandings. For example, he once went after a rowdy biker gang, but only to stop them from disturbing his mother. Compared to the rest of the team, Kanji tends to be a bit slow on the uptake. However, he is straightforward and decisive. Through the game he realizes that his impulsive actions can drag others down, and that he can balance that by instead giving them his support.
