"We were impressed with the intel-gathering skills of the Phantom Thieves as well. We also know that this would've been impossible unless you had a skilled hacker...
...Who was doing this!?"

—Sae Niijima interrogating the protagonist about Futaba Sakura.

This article covers information about the Hermit Confidant, Futaba Sakura, including events and skills featured in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.

Trivia

• Unused skill files in the game reveal that Futaba's Confidant was planned to have a feature that would allow Futaba to know the appropriate dialogue choices when negotiating with a Shadow. This was scrapped in the final release, and attempting to use it in the game via hacking the skill onto a Persona will have no effect.
• If the protagonist has unlocked the Mementos Request "The Money-Grubbing Uncle" as part of Sojiro's Confidant, Futaba's Confidant will be inaccessible until the protagonist completes the mission, as initiating it requires speaking to Futaba.
