Shibuya and Shinagawa Stations dress up with “Persona 3” characters


Along the corridor of JR Shinagawa Station between the Shinkansen and main JR entrances are row upon row of screens, showcasing the characters from the game.

Depending on the time, the illustrations will change. From morning and noon, the characters will be shown in casual clothing, while from late afternoon to night, they’ll don their new combat uniforms.

On the second basement level of Shibuya Station near the Hanzomon Line, you’ll find many large screens spanning approximately 55 meters that will display short video clips. The sides feature illustrations of their special extracurricular activities club.

You can also see glimpses of actors Haruna Kawaguchi and Jun Shison, the official ambassadors of the Persona series, on these displays. Be sure to check out these displays while you can, as they will only be displayed for a limited time from today, January 29th, to February 4th.


Thanks, Famitsu.

Persona 3 Reload: Character Introductions – Junpei Iori

Like the previous videos, ATLUS has just released another character introduction video and related information on Junpei Iori, voiced by Kosuke Toriumi, from the upcoming release of Persona 3 Reload.

A classmate of both the main character and Yukari. Sometime after the main character transfers to the school, Junpei’s Persona awakens and he joins S.E.E.S., moving into the Iwatodai. Possessing considerable communication skills and a knack for lifting spirits, he sometimes over does it, which makes Yukari treat him coldly.

In combat, he wields a long sword and a Persona named Hermes. His combat skills primarily revolve around physical and fire-based attacks.

Thanks, Gamer.

Classmate Yukari Takeba
Here we explore the character Yukari Takeba, a fellow classmate of the protagonist. Known for her cheerful disposition and striking appearance, she enjoys popularity among her peers. She possesses a strong and composed side as well.

Despite lacking prior combat experience as a Persona user, she takes a stand on the front lines alongside the protagonist after encountering Shadows. Yukari is an active member of the archery club, and thus wields a bow in battle. Her exclusive Persona, Io, grants her proficiency in gale attribute skills and recovery techniques.

The video showcases battles, interactions with the main character, and scenes from the special extracurricular activities club. With her new “Theurgy” skill, Yukari fires arrows with remarkable speed, inflicting substantial damage upon her enemies.
