The game has already seen collaborations with Assassin’s Creed, Overlord, and Samurai Showdown in this year alone, and Persona 5‘s duo will see the total of crossover characters increase to 10, one of which was famous assassin Ezio Auditore. It’s been a busy year for Lillith Games, the makers of AFK Arena. Their latest escapade sees Joker (the protagonist of Persona 5, who you can name yourself) and Queen (AKA Makoto Nijima) make their way over to AFK Arena, another mobile gacha hero-collector game that is one of the more successful titles on the app stores.

Perhaps when Persona 6 finally launches, we’ll get more consistent protagonist naming. While Ren Amamiya is Joker’s most common “canon” name, whatever name you choose for him is an equally worthy contender. In a December 2019 stage adaptation of Persona 5, Joker’s name was changed every night, gaining nearly 20 names. Presumably, this is done to not take away from fanmade names. His surname, Amamiya means “Rain Palace,” referencing how it was raining when he first saw Kamoshida’s palace and LeBlanc’s general vibe.Īlthough every protagonist has a commonly used canon name, many games still opt to label the protagonists by codenames in spin-off appearances, like how the P5 protagonist is named “Joker” in Smash Bros.

The protagonist then gained his second canon name, Ren Amamiya, when the anime based on Persona 5 launched in 2018.

This includes his appearances in the two Persona Arena titles and other games where you cannot name him. He’s been called Yu Narukami in basically every appearance since the 2011 Persona anime. He was first named Souji Seta in the manga that released alongside P4 and then Hayato Asakawa in a 2012 stage play based on P4, but he did gain a permanent name, eventually. Persona 4’s protagonist had a far less turbulent road to gaining his label.
