"I learned a lot from those kids. When I first started coaching them. I was thinking about how I would teach my own kids one day... an I didn't have the slightest clue. Well, that all changed. If you hadn't been there with me, I'm not sure if I would've been able to coach those kids. And I would have never thought about my future, either. ...So, thank you."
—Yuko Nishiwaki, Persona 3

Yuko Nishiwaki is a non-player character from Persona 3.

When spending time with the protagonist on weekends, she wears a black jacket with a pink top, white belt, navy skirt, and high white boots.

Biography[]

Persona 3[]

Main article: Social Link/Yuko Nishiwaki

Yuko Nishiwaki is the team manager of whichever athletic club the protagonist chooses to join in Persona 3. Completing this Social Link will unlock the Persona Siegfried.

After the protagonist greets her a few times after club meetings, she'll go out to eat with him. Yuko expresses concerns that she eats too much, but attributes it to being so active. Another girl bullies Yuko because a basketball player dated both of them at the same time, without their knowledge. The protagonist can choose to become romantically involved with Yuko, and through their relationship, he helps Yuko learn about what she wants to do in the future after they help coach a group of kids.

Persona 3 Portable[]

If the player chooses to play as the female protagonist, the Strength arcana Social Link is replaced by Koromaru. Yuko then appears as a minor character in different events throughout the year. It is also revealed that she is friends with Rio Iwasaki, as she appears during some of the Chariot Arcana Social Link events and plays a part during the sports retreat at Inaba in early August. She also reveals romantic feelings towards Kazushi Miyamoto, whom she manages, even going as far as saying that she would marry him if she cannot find anyone else.
