Profile

Persona 5

Natsuhiko was one of the disciples of the prestigious artist Ichiryusai Madarame. After his works were plagiarized by his master, he abandoned his dream of being an artist and got a teller job in the municipal ward office. However, he couldn't let go of his misery and began stalking his ex-girlfriend to relieve his stress. His ex submits a heist request on the Phantom Aficionado Website, which is taken by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to change his heart. In Mementos, his Shadow Self defends his actions by claiming his ex is his property, treated him like a plaything as well, and expresses incredulity over the Phantom Thieves chosing to target him over Madarame before transforming into Obariyon. After his defeat, he agrees to leave his ex-girlfriend alone, and asks the Phantom Thieves to change the heart of Madarame before other people fall victim to him.

The now repentant Natsuhiko submits a heist request against Madarame because of another disciple who had comitted suicide in response to Madarame's plagiarism. The gang makes the mistake that the request is made by Yusuke Kitagawa. The administrator of the Phan-site, Yuuki Mishima, realizing that the heist target is way too famous to be shown on the site, arranges a meeting for Natsuhiko with the protagonist so they can talk face to face. Natsuhiko is worried about the safety of Madarame's last disciple, Yusuke, if the plagiarism goes on.

In Royal, when Madarame publicly confesses to his crimes, Natsuhiko can be seen in a crowd watching the confession along with Goro Akechi and Makoto Niijima, giving a silent nod before walking off.
