—Doppelganger's recruitment line, Soul Hackers 2

SMT IF doppelganger sprite

Shin Megami Tensei: if...[]

Doppelganger is a level 36 Guardian for Akira Miyamoto.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey[]

"A phantom copy of a living being. The name comes from the German phrase "double goer" Doppelgangers are a sign of bad luck. Often, others see your doppleganger from afar, but it is said you may also see your own doppleganger right before you die."
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey compendium

Unlike most other appearances, Doppelgänger actually mimics the protagonist's appearance, presenting itself as a grinning, shadowy copy of the hero.

Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon[]

Known as Kageboushi (カゲボウシ, lit. shadow figure), it is the last Fiend that can be randomly faced in the game. No matter how many times he is defeated, Kageboushi will appear again should a Fiend battle happen. He comes in three types: Sword, Spear and Axe. Each has its own resistances, weaknesses and skills. Kageboushi drops the Aletia needed for a Case File and Sword Alchemy, along with a decent amount of money and EXP when beaten. However, Kageboushi also randomly runs from battle. When defeated, he will mockingly wish Raidou the best of luck, laughing as he dies.

Soul Hackers 2[]

"A phantom copy of a living being, its name comes from the German phrase "double goer." Doppelgangers are regarded as an omen of bad luck, and though one's Doppelganger is typically seen by others from afar, it is said that one may see their own Doppelganger in the moments before they die."
Soul Hackers 2 demon info

Doppelganger is a demon of the Rumor race and can be found in the West Shipping District.

A Doppelganger takes the form of Ringo during the "Girl's Night Out" request. Ringo will be blamed for some dine and dash incidents in Karakucho. After paying money at the convenience store and ramen shop, reporting back to Masayoshi leads to him stating that the thief was seen running into the Central Line. After searching the upper area, Ringo meets her Doppelganger in one of the rooms. Seeing Ringo made the Doppelganger want to see the outside world, and while it enjoyed the food, it was worried about scary looks from the people around it. After explaining the concept of money to the Doppelganger, it apologizes and leaves.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin[]

Der Doppelgänger is a German poem by Heinrich Heine quoted by Maya Amano to refer to the spiritual resemblance shared by Tatsuya Suou and Jun Kurosu. The poem is also quoted in the original version's opening.

Doppelganger is both a demon and a BattleNet opponent, taking the form of the Protagonist and facing them with the same demons in S Class. Lucifer also gives a Doppelganger after beating him in BattleNet.

Shin Megami Tensei: DeviChil[]

Doppelgänger is the antagonist of episode 21. He's a very powerful demon who was sealed away a long ago and freed by Lucifer. Doppelgänger pretends to be Setsuna Kai in order to eliminate the Devil Children, but ends up developing a crush on Mirai Kaname and instead tries to eliminate Cool and Veil so they can be alone together. His romantic advances make Mirai suspicious and ends up being the key to finding out which Setsuna is the real one. Doppelgänger is a very skilled opponent who can also copy the spells of those whose appearance he imitates. In the end, Doppelgänger proves himself to be such a dangerous enemy that, instead of being defeated, he's sealed by Franken using the same ritual that trapped him before.

Devil Children White Book[]

Doppelganger is once again a demon and BattleNet opponent. He is faced in the B Class of BattleNet.
