Bio

Co-founder and unofficial vice-leader of the Investigation Team, Yosuke arrived to Inaba one year before Yu Narukami, after his father took over local supermarket, Junes. He developed a crush on one of Junes' workers, Saki Konishi, but his love ended with a tragedy after she became the second victim of a serial killer using the Midnight Channel and TV World for his purposes. Enraged, Yosuke entered the TV World with Yu in an attempt to find some clues, but instead he encountered his Shadow Self, a mirror image born of everything a person tries to deny and hide from world - in Yosuke's case, it was his boredom, desire to be "hero", and fear that Saki doesn't reciprocate his feelings. After accepting his Shadow as a part of himself and obtaining its power as a Persona, he and Yu formed the Investigation Team to stop the killer and bring him to justice.

Few months after the culprit Tohru Adachi is arrested for Saki’s murder, and the Persona universe’s Izanami is defeated, Yosuke and his friends are end up being the subjects to a Midnight Channel fighting tournament known as P-1 Grand Prix hosted by "General Teddie", and realize that a few of their friends are dragged into this bloodbath tournament for the culprit's deadly entertainments. Once entering the tournament, Yosuke and his friends will find their missing allies, while meeting other Persona users, the Shadow Operatives.
