Makoto Kuwahara

The stalker, named Makoto Kuwahara (桑原 真), is a minor character appears in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.

Appearance

 * Persona 2: Eternal Punishment: Boss

Profile
The stalker appeared before Eriko Kirishima when she has started her modelling career. His behavior became more and more extreme that in one day he broke into Eriko's apartment before she was home. Irritated, she used her Persona to fight him off and supposedly the stalker had learned his lesson and no longer shown his face.

If the player chooses Eriko's (female) route, the party will accompany Eriko to Sumaru TV to investigate Chizuru Ishigami. When they are trapped in Ishigami's puzzle and trying to solve it, the stalker appears before them three times with a chainsaw, and is defeated each time. It is later revealed that the stalker here is merely a Shikigami sent by Ishigami to embody Eriko's fear.

Trivia

 * Possibly a programming error, during the first and second battles the stalker always attacks Baofu, and Katsuya in addition during the third battle when shouting "Elly-chan" and "I love you", except for attacks that target everyone.
 * The harassment prevention regulation has been passed in 2000 in Japan after a female was murdered by her stalker, the same year the game takes place. That means there was no law to protect the victim from stalking prior to that year.
