Profile
Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers
Zenkichi is a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau. He's in charge of investigating the mysterious conversion cases that appear to be separate from the previous ones involving mental shutdowns. He tracks down the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and instead of arresting them, he settles a "deal" with them to help him look into it. He has an easygoing personality.
He lives in Kyoto and has a daughter named Akane. He's been dispatched from the Kyoto Prefectural Police.
It's likely he awakens to his Persona, Valjean, in Kyoto's Jail.
