Notable Social Links

Social Links, Fool Through Fortune 0 - The Fool Tohru Adachi: "Impulsivity" - Katsuya's housemate and a fellow detective in Inaba. While he has the Potential, he's not a Persona-user. While he thinks that the other man doesn't take things seriously enough, and is often far too sloppy, he has seen how he can behave in a pinch. For what it's worth, he also trusts Adachi in spite of the man's antics. I - The Magician Sayori Kaizumi: "Willpower" - A member of the KDA and a student at Yasogami. He was among those who helped deal with her Rumor Shadow. II - The Priestess Aki: "Duality" - Once a manifestation of a part of the mind of Maki Sonomura, Aki has since become a real human, due to Maki herself making sudden use of the DVA to rewrite reality. Though she's by no means perfect and a little bratty, Katsuya feels responsible for her safety and upbringing. Kiyomi Ninomae: "Respect" - A blind woman with a unique power. She has an unusual perspective on the world that he's come to appreciate. Though he still sees her as someone who he needs to protect, he's come to value her advice. V - The Hierophant Ryotaro Dojima: "Perseverance" - An older and more experienced detective at the Inaba Police Department. Adachi's partner. Katsuya has a good deal of respect for him and his position, though he sometimes worries about him coming to harm. He is in charge of the local branch of Department 4. Shinjiro Aragaki: "Discipline" - A ranking member of SEES. While he's been impressed by the young man's dedication and care for those under him, he feels he's too reckless with his life. After an investigation that took him right into Shinjiro's TV dungeon, the detective had questions... and learned what Shinjiro had done in the past. VIII - Justice Noriko Ishibashi: "Realism" - A detective, co-worker and woman after his own heart. She may have a Persona, but when Katsuya broached the subject, she didn't seem to know what he was talking about. X - The Wheel of Fortune Ryouko Kiribayashi: "Honor" - A well-behaved young woman whose relatives are trying to kill her. Possesses a thieving alter-ego that Katsuya has also met, Kaitou Hatto. Social Links, Strength Through Judgement XI - Strength Enoha Koinose: "Reunion" - Katsuya's housemate, and a former classmate from his high school years. She's dating Adachi. Her determination and cheerfulness were things he came to admire about her. She is one of the people in his life he cares about the most; this is highly unlikely to change for him, regardless of what happens. Jason R. Butler: "Opposites" - A private investigator and business-owner, working with Department 4. He's Leigh Anne's ex. While he and Katsuya are about as different as can be, they generally get along socially and have become friends. They don't always agree on things, though. Masahiko Irie: "Integration" - A young man with yakuza connections. They have formed an odd 'sort-of' partnership, for while he doesn't agree with Masahiko's alliances or methods, and has threatened to arrest him if he steps wrong, they both do share the same general desire. He also worries the boy is in over his head. Apparently heading up a group that calls itself Kagutsuchi XII - The Hanged Man Rui Onishi: "Mystery" - The daughter of Shinichi Onishi, an infamous criminal and former surgeon, and employee of Daisuke Itami. Despite their first couple encounters leading to his humiliation, he's come to worry about her, especially given what things he has learned about her and her life. He despises her father intensely. XIV - Temperance Naomi Suzuno: "Inescapable" - A good friend of Tatsuya's. He told her, at her request, a few things about Tatsuya's history. He's personally of the opinion that her feelings for his brother go deeper than just friendship, but this might be wishful thinking on Katsuya's part. XV - The Devil Daisuke Itami: "Tension" - The other man who leads Kagutsuchi and a private investigator/information broker. Apparently has ties to the Yakuza. A troublesome man, but he is able to obtain information that Katsuya can't so easily gain access to, particularly concerning such things as corruption in the government. Leigh Anne O'Hara: "Bewilderment" - The medical examiner at the Inaba Police Department. She has a history with Jason. She quite easily knocks Katsuya out of his comfort zone; she is capable of making him very uncomfortable with disturbing ease. Every time he thinks he understands her, she does something shocking that proves otherwise. XVI - The Tower Mai Namikawa: "Good Will" - A young woman and ally of SEES whom Katsuya's had reason to encounter on several occasions. She has provided him with information no one else has. She's given him the impression of a capable, if a touch cold, young woman. He's concerned about her future, though, or more accurately, her attitude regarding her future. Mikiya Ryouhara: "Skewed" - A young man who has taken it upon himself to create a world free from corruption. He despises the government. To that end, Katsuya and he have clashed, with dire consequences for the officer that don't end at himself.

XVIII - The Moon Yoko Nakashima: "Enlightenment" - A girl who resides at a home for the mentally ill. He's taken personal responsibility for her given that she possesses a Persona while grappling with a mental illness, and has tried to do his best to be a role model for Yoko given that she has none in her life. XIX - The Sun Shion Katsuragi: "Organization" - Katsuya's partner in Inaba; he gets along with her quite well. She provided him with much useful information while he was getting settled in Inaba, though he still feels she has the advantage over him. Tatsuya Suou: "Unlistening" - Katsuya's wayward younger brother. He worries about how Tatsuya is doing quite often, and wishes that his younger brother would do as well as he knows he is capable of doing. Katsuya has come to accept that his brother's Persona is a good thing, and isn't entirely opposed to his attempts to protect people, but the two of them continue to clash on principle far too often. Unfortunately, there are too many unresolved issues between them, much of it concerning their mutual anger at each other XX - Judgement Hajime Shidou: "Guidance" - A fellow detective and a father. Despite the fact that Hajime is just barely his younger, Katsuya has taken up the role of the senior about the younger man. He worries about exposing him to the supernatural at the same time that he feels the need to respect the man's position as a detective and with Department 4. Nagisa Renge: "Silence" - A young woman who Katsuya had been giving baking lessons, and who he had learned was dying. He was never able to thank her properly for saving his life; she had passed away from her illness before he could contact her.
