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 attachment to art, which warped his emotions and made him attached to everything, so much that he began stalking his ex-girlfriend to relieve his stress. His ex submitted a heist request on the Phantom Aficionado Website, which was taken by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to change his heart. In Mementos, his Shadow Self defended his actions by claiming his ex was his property and that she treated him like a plaything as well, and he expressed incredulity over the Phantom Thieves choosing to target him over Madarame before transforming into Obariyon. After his defeat, he agreed to leave his ex-girlfriend alone, and asked the Phantom Thieves to change the heart of Madarame before other people fell victim to him.
The now repentant Natsuhiko submitted a heist request against Madarame because of another disciple who had committed suicide in response to Madarame's plagiarism, which the gang mistakenly assumed to have been sent by Yusuke Kitagawa. The administrator of the Phan-site, Yuuki Mishima, realizing that the heist target was way too famous to be shown on the site, arranged a meeting for Natsuhiko with the protagonist so they could talk face to face. Natsuhiko was worried about the safety of Madarame's last disciple, Yusuke, if the plagiarism went on.
Persona 5 Royal[]
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.
