narukami yu

鳴上悠 瀬多総司 鸣上悠 narukami_yu 主足

The protagonist of Persona 4. Nephew of Doujima Ryoutarou and cousin/big brother figure of Doujima Nanako.

Originally nameless in the video game, he is given the name "Seta Souji" in the manga adaptation and "Narukami Yuu" in the anime adaptation.

He is nicknamed Banchou for a number of reasons:

  • His starting Persona, Izanagi, wears a banchou-style outfit (gakuran and tall geta)
  • In the Miss? Contest, he dresses as a sukeban
  • Compared to the protagonist of Persona 3, Yuuki Makoto, he has a number of much more manly conversation/action choices

This nickname gained official acknowledgement in the PV for Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena, in which he is called the "steel siscon banchou" (鋼のシスコン番長).
