Design
The protagonist has short, messy black hair and dark gray eyes. His default outfit is his school's uniform. It consists a buttoned up black blazer that has red buttons and the school's emblem, a white turtleneck shirt that has two black chevrons on the collar, and black and red plaid trousers. He also wears black glasses, though he doesn't seem to need them for vision correction.

As the Phantom, his outfit consists of a black trench coat with a gray collared shirt, black trousers and boots, and a pair of red gloves. His mask is a white bird-shaped mask with a black design around the eyes. While normally shown with grey eyes, his eyes have also been seen as red and yellow, indicating that his Shadow Self may play in important role.

During one of his visits to the Velvet Room, he wears a black and white prisoner uniform.

Personality
Through the tradition of the Megami Tensei series, he is a silent protagonist, whose personality is based upon the player's actions and decisions. Shigenori Soejima has stated that he appears quiet and docile, but describes this behavior as a "profound ruse."

Profile
Described by the game's director as a "juvenile delinquent", he moonlights as a cat burglar known as The Phantom. He is classmates with Ryuji Sakamoto and Anne Takamaki, who join him in his endeavors alongside Morgana.

Persona 5
The protagonist is a second-year high school student who meets Morgana and transfers to Shujin High School in the Spring. He lives in a coffee shop called Sumikon, owned by acquaintance of his parents, where he and his friends plan their heists, starting in Shibuya and later expanding out to other places in Tokyo. In a Famitsu article, it is stated that he has an unspecified problem that will lead to issues down the line if not dealt with, and that the prison-like atmosphere of the Velvet Room is a symbolic prison of the mind.

Night of The Phantom
The Phantom appears during the final event of Night of the Phantom, where he announces his plan to steal the hearts of the audience with the first gameplay trailer for Persona 5. He is portrayed by voice actor. He is said to have stolen secret material from the event, but that it would be revealed by Famitsu in the near future.
