Biography
- Arcana: Star
Mamoru Hayase, the top athlete of his school, is the protagonist's main rival in the summer competition of whatever sport the protagonist chooses to play (between track, kendo, and swimming). After competing and coming in second to him, Mamoru then approaches the protagonist and congratulates him on a job well done, and offers to hang out with him. His social link can then be accessed by meeting him sitting on a bench in the strip mall at Iwatodai Station and initiated if he has enough Courage. At first, Mamoru seems like a normal schoolboy, but as the protagonist learns more about him, he learns that Mamoru actually is competing for a good reason. While all his siblings were still young, Mamoru's father died, and Mamoru has been supporting his family ever since. With his impressive standing as an athlete in his school, he has received many sponsors, and receives free food from nearly all the shops around the Iwatodai station. With his skill, he hopes to be scouted and get scholarships to attend college to better support his family. As the social link progresses, the protagonist and Mamoru become closer friends. At the highest rank of the social link, Mamoru decides that he is going to put off being a professional athlete and attending college, and instead move away for a while and work a factory job to better support his family for now. In the final days of the game, if the protagonist has leveled up the social link to its highest rank, when he exits the class he will be stopped by his team coach, and be given a letter from Mamoru telling the protagonist how things have been since he moved away.
If the protagonist completes this Social Link, then the Persona Helel will be unlocked in Persona 3: FES; the Persona Lucifer is unlocked in Persona 3.
In Persona 3 Portable, if the player chooses the female protagonist, the Star arcana Social Link events are replaced by Akihiko Sanada and Mamoru is never seen.
