Persona 5 Ryuji English Promotional Videos

The introduction to the cast of Persona 5 continues with Atlus and Deep Silver’s recent Ryuji English promotional videos! As before, one of these is a brief introduction to the character and the other an interview with his English voice actor, Max Mittelman.

Here’s what Deep Silver have to say about Ryuji:

Shujin Academy is home to many high school delinquents, but the most notorious misfit would have to be Persona 5’s Ryuji Sakamoto. Ryuji was a promising track star who tragically suffered a career ending injury due to “overtraining” by the sadistic coach Kamoshida. With no future in the sport he loves and experiencing first-hand the evil of “shitty adults,” Ryuji becomes a social pariah who rebels against a society he perceives as corrupt.

Even though he’s the definition of a troublemaker, he has a kind heart and always puts the Phantom Thieves before himself. In short, Ryuji is a true friend that can always be counted on to have your back in a jam. Plus, having a tough guy with a skull mask in your crew is just awesome.

Max Mittelman also gives some insight into his interpretation of Ryuji and his experience working on Persona 5 in this great interview:

 

 

Ryuji sounds like an incredibly interesting character. He’s clearly bringing a lot of the comic relief for Persona 5, filling one of the main party member roles that’s proven fairly consistent throughout the series. However, the glimpse we’ve had at his backstory already adds some great depth to him. He’s definitely a character I look forward to learning more about and seeing in action!

 

Persona 5 will be released on 14th February 2017 for PS3 and PS4.

Spread the love!
