Takes place ten years after the end of Persona 3. It is set in Ayanagi City, a city located near the Sea of Japan, where the police force is investigating several cases involving a mysterious illness called the Apathy Syndrome. Ten years ago, Ayanagi city had been subjected to a severe earthquake, which the city has since recovered from. In the midst of the crisis, two brothers named Shin and Jun Kanzato move back to Ayanagi to see their elder brother Ryō, who is now the Superintendent of the Ayanagi City Police. It has been ten years since the three siblings last met with each other. It was said that the mysterious incidents in Ayanagi City were linked to covert testing conducted under Keisuke Komatsubura's watch, which tried to locate all known Persona users and find the strongest by weeding them out via Persona experiments before it was disbanded.

Father of the Kanzato brothers. Like his wife, he was an artbook artist. He died alongside his wife Haruka when Ayane's Persona grabbed and killed him. It is revealed that they were involved in the same Persona research as Komatsubara.

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita A member of the Outsiders, one of the executors of the Reverse incident. His Persona has the special ability to extract others' Personae, this ability is the cause of the 'Reverse' incidents. After the being defeated by Shin's Persona, Yūji lost his Persona. He seems to be the most mentally unbalanced of the Outsiders and is often shown taking some kind of drug. He had a part-time job giving out balloons in a bear costume. Yūji is executed by Mariya after he went renegade by escaping from their compound.

Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa A member of the Outsiders, he acts as the leader of the group. Tōma seems to be a cool and collected individual, but in the third episode he shows aggressive tendencies. He was killed in battle by Ryō, and afterwards an unknown chemical is discovered in his body. His death is kept in secret and was not publicised.

Age: 17 Voiced by: Hideki Tasaka A classmate of Shin's who he becomes acquainted with him on the first day he attends school. He is an easy-going individual and sports a distinct afro. Surprisingly, he has a Persona, which awakens when Shin tries to do Shadow Extraction on him. He now trains to control it. He has also had a dream with Igor in it much like Shin did. He has a crush on Megumi. Takuro's father had disappeared during the Apathy Crisis in Ayanagi City, due to unknown reasons. He came back in a woman's body.

Age: 17 Voiced by: Mai Nakahara A somewhat timid girl who is acquainted with Shin, Megumi, and Takurō. She is very interested in Shadow Extraction, and she asked Takurō to do a Shadow Extraction on her, which seems to be a forced invoking of a Persona to create a euphoria similar to taking a drug. She suffers from occasional memory loss where she sometimes cannot remember why she is at a place or even where she is at. In the past, she and Mayuri lived in a nursing facility. She becomes addicted to Shadow Extraction and this may have caused multiple personalties dues to her sudden change in attitude and manner when talking to people, as well as suddenly saying things about what a persona is with out remembering what she said. She also demonstrates a possible romantic interest in Shin which is confirmed by Yuki. Kanaru also manifests her persona in episode 20 though whether she will be able to control it is undetermined as it appears similar to the personae used by the Marebito.

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Katsube The man in the wheelchair that is regarded as the mastermind behind the Outsiders. He at some point died, and allowed his persona to devour him to extend his life span. He uses the Outsiders to gather "A-levels" and during the process he becomes interested in Shin's Persona ability. His original name was Keisuke Komatsubara.

Age: 17 Voiced by: Kana Asumi A classmate of Shin's, though he actually saw her at a restaurant arguing with someone the night before he started school. She is a member of the Street Dance club and has a frank and straight-forward character. She has a dislike for Shadow Extraction. Megumi had her Persona awakened when she was still young during an accident after which her stepbrother died.

Age: deceased (would be 14) Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro The female twin of Jun. She died with her parents in a major accident ten years ago. She shares her Persona with Jun due to the fact that part of her brain was being used to replace his during her death. She sometimes takes control of Jun's body and is currently the sole inhabitant of their body after Jun's encounter with Ayane.

Birthday: February 4 Blood type: A. Age: 14 Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro The youngest of the Kanzato brothers, and a third-year student at Naginomori Gakuen Middle School. He began to lose the will to live after an incident that happened at the time their parents disappeared ten years before the series began. He had a twin sister, Yuki , whose dress he keeps. Oddly, Ryō overheard Jun seemingly speaking to a girl, presumably Yuki. This might indicate a spiritual body sharing, or multiple-personality disorder. He also has a certain level of perception ability and can hear the inner voices of people around him. During his visit to the beach, the water's reflection showed his twin sister summoning her Persona but not Jun. His fringe hides a scar on his forehead that came from the surgery involving him and Yuki. It is told later that after the accident ten years ago, part of his brain was replaced with Yuki's, in an effort to prevent them both from dying (the decision was made by Ry...

Birthday: January 18 Blood type: A Age: 28 Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu Shin and Jun's brother, eldest of the three at twenty-eight. His personality is stoic to the point of being cold, even towards his younger brothers. He entered the police in order to investigate the strange incidents, becoming the youngest superintendent in history. He keeps all important details on the recent 'Reverse' cases to himself, restricting them from others in the police force. In the first episode he is revealed to have a "Persona" of his own, though he does not use an Evoker like the main characters did in Persona 3. A bottle of pills was briefly shown on his desk, perhaps similar to the suppressant drugs Strega used. He is reported to be missing by the Japanese National Police Agency, but Shin finds him alive when his Persona guns down a Persona user.

Birthday: January 19 Blood type: A Age: 17 Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto The seventeen-year-old protagonist. He is a second-year student at Naginomori Gakuen High School. He always carries a pendant in the shape of a feather, which is a memento of his father. After his parents and little sister died, he and his brothers were under the care of their relatives in Tokyo, and ten years later they returned to their home town Ayanagi. As the series goes on, nearly everyone close to Shin seems to be taken away either by Ayane or through Death (e.g. both brothers and Kanaru respectivley). Shin also has an interest in art, making clay models and is frequently seen sketching. Strangely, his art pieces resemble Personas and in one case, Igor. In the first episode, he awakens his own Persona after ten year of slumbering, and one of the enigmatic Outsiders (rogue Persona users) also commented that Shin's Persona is of "Special A-Level".

Voiced by: Fumi Morisawa Mother of the Kanzato brothers. An artbook artist, she gave Yuki a 'Whale Feather' as an amulet of happiness. She died in the Ayanagi City disaster when Ayane's Persona grabbed her and Shigeru, killing them.. It is revealed that they were involved in the same Persona research as Komatsubara.

Ryuzaki Hideki is the fake name he uses when entering the same college as Raito. Raito already knows it is fake because it is the name of a famous pop star lol! Although L chose that name on purpose... L loves sweets and it is strange he doesn't get FAT! He is a world class dectective and a genius, he maybe the only one who could stop Kira(Raito) since his reasoning skills are equal or better that his.

Big Windup (おおきく振りかぶって, Big Windup? "Okiku Furikabutte"), also known as just Ōfuri (おお振り, Ōfuri?) is a baseball manga series by Asa Higuchi. The series, set in Saitama, follows the story of Ren Mihashi. Mihashi was the previous ace pitcher in his middle school's baseball team, but it seems that he only got the position because his grandfather was the owner of the school. His teammates (especially the team's catcher) hated him, and they always lost their games. Mihashi is thoroughly convinced that he is a lousy baseball pitcher and he graduates to high school with extremely low self-esteem. He then transfers to Nishiura high school with plans of quitting baseball, because he does not believe he is good enough to succeed at baseball. However, he is dragged into Nishiura's baseball team by their coach. Assisted by his new teammates (and especially the catcher, Takaya Abe), he grows in stature, confidence and skill, helping his team excel with his own abilities. [Wiki...
