A young man once notorious as a problem child driven to failure by the malice of a physical education teacher. He got lost in another world with the protagonist and awakened to his Persona abilities.

After the events of the first game are resolved, he returns to his everyday life, still bad when it comes to his studies and receiving many failing marks.
