Sojiro SakuraConfidant
"You may call yourself a phantom thief, but you're still a minor. Someone had to support you. Furthermore, they did so knowing you were part of that group... ...Isn't the owner of that café an accomplice of yours!?"
Sae Niijima interrogating the protagonist about Sojiro Sakura.
Persona 5 Confidant Guides Icon (Hierophant) - Sojiro Sakura

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

The protagonist can start Sojiro's Confidant as early as April 20th. Sojiro is always behind the counter at Café Leblanc, but can only be interacted with when the card is displayed above his head. If the player has not started Sojiro's Confidant by May 6th, the game will do so automatically. Sojiro's Confidant Rank 1-4 can be progressed at any point in time. His Rank 5 and beyond cannot begin until after Futaba's Palace's deadline has passed.

Confidant points received from Sojiro can be multiplied via scoring high on exams. The protagonist can also receive Confidant points if he brews coffee and Sojiro comes to taste. In Persona 5 Royal, points can also be obtained from cleaning Leblanc. Sojiro is unavailable if Sadayo Kawakami is called to brew coffee or make curry.

Interacting with Sojiro will also raise the protagonist's Kindness.

Completing Sojiro's Confidant enables the fusion of Kohryu. He also gives the protagonist a Recipe Note on 3/19, which grants access to all cooking and brewing perks once the protagonist establishes Sojiro's Confidant in New Game Plus.
