Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei[]
Kichijoji is the starting location of the game. The protagonist lives in Kichijoji, along with his mom and his dog. There is a mall, Echo Building and a hospital located east of the protagonist's home.
Shin Megami Tensei IV[]
- Main article: Kiccigiorgi
Located at the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, Kiccigiorgi is a farming colony. Apart from its namesake, Kiccigiorgi takes little design inspiration from its real-life counterpart.
Persona 5 The Animation[]
Kichijoji appears exclusively in the Proof of Justice OVA and is seen both in flashbacks sequences and the present day. Locations such as Jazz Jin and the Penguin Sniper club are seen in this special.
Ren and Akechi hung out mostly in Kichijoji. Most of Akechi's Confidant scenes that are in Persona 5 Royal first appear in the OVA.
Persona 5 Royal[]
Kichijoji is a new location that the protagonist can explore. It is unlocked on the day of the deadline for Madarame's Palace.
Sumire Yoshizawa and Goro Akechi can be encountered there when the Faith and Justice Confidants can be progressed, with Sumire hanging around in the Pavillion while Akechi is standing by the entrance Penguin Sniper. During the Third Semester, the protagonist can meet Sumire for a hangout prior to December 24th and can advance the Faith Confidant from Rank 5 on by talking to Sumire starting from January 13th.
Kichijoji also hosts a club named Penguin Sniper where the protagonist and his teammates can play darts & billiards, increasing the individual bonuses to a Phantom Thief member's Baton Pass capabilities (sole exception being navigator Futaba) and the Thieves' Technical damage as a whole.
The protagonist may eavesdrop on his adult Confidants, his teachers, and Kobayakawa at the bars in the alleyways during the evenings.
Kichijoji is also the location of Jazz Jin and the Old Temple, though Jazz Jin can only be accessed after reaching Rank 4 in the Justice Confidant.
Trader Sakai[]
Within a small nook in the alleyway within Kichijoji's Shopping District is a special and secretive vender known as Trader Sakai. Sakai is a strange man that hangs in that nook at all hours of the day. He will request various items, typically foodstuffs but dabbles in other items, and in return provides either rare items or gear that only Sakai can provide. However, he is only there for certain days, but as there is no in game way to remind players Sakai exists, it is up to players themselves to remember what days Sakai is visiting Kichijoji for business, though a general rule of thumb is that Sakai visits twice a month.
