Party

This article covers information on Kanji Tatsumi as a party member, including uses and strategies in Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden.

Overview

Kanji joins the Investigation Team after the Steamy Bathhouse has been cleared by defeating Shadow Kanji.

Although has weaker precision, Critical rate and Magic attacks from his low Agility, Luck and Magic stats respectively, Kanji has the highest Strength and Endurance out of the entire group, allowing him to deal raw damage and take hits easily.

Despite his moveset being offense-oriented, he'll be able to buff an ally's Defense for 3 turns, and the same for the Attack of the entire party.

Kanji resists Electricity, and his weakness is Wind.

If the protagonist maxes out Kanji's Social Link, his Persona Take-Mikazuchi will evolve into Rokuten Maou, evenly boosting each of his stats by 1 and removing his Wind weakness (though not in Golden).

Persona 4 Golden

In Persona 4 Golden, if Kanji's Social Link has already been maxed out, the protagonist will be able to talk to him during Winter, getting him to evolve his Persona into Takeji Zaiten. He'll be able to absorb Electricity, and resist Physical attacks. In addition, he's able to learn "The Man's Way," giving Kanji a chancing of Downing all enemies and inflicting them with the Dizzy ailment, making them very vulnerable to attack.
