Well, neither of those characters have canon names, so you're in luck!

(They do have names they were given in various non-game spinoffs, which the English language fandom sometimes treat as canon, but they aren't and have never been. In all Japanese language official material, they are simply "protagonist".)

Persona 4 Arena actually calls the character Yu Narukami.

I'm feeling some serious hair envy right now.

(And I totally get this. I like being able to customize your characters name.)

I just can't get used to "Makoto Yuuki" after calling him "Arisato Minato" all this time.

I too am sad of the rude name reveals of my favourite game protagonists. What was wrong with Butthead, Bigbutt, @$$$$$$ and StnClwn696 anyway?

It never bothered me because the given names were just a necessity in order to go forward with the manga/movie/anime. I see them as completely separate from game protags. THAT said, when fans get super attached to a name (Minato Arisato) and then get really, really upset because Atlus didn't keep using it because it's not actually canon, I get irritated.

On a side note, I don't like the personality given to Yu Narukami--the whole siscon gag thing is exasperating. I didn't get that far into P4U because of it. Is it actually nbd??

I just don't understand why you would change a name that has been widely adopted by a big part of your fanbase. Wouldn't keeping the name most people have latched onto be easier for branding/selling merch?

(Anonymous) 2014-08-13 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly Persona had barely any merch until all the P4 anime/P3 movies started coming out, and those do use the associated name. Otherwise they just use the word "protagonist" and that's pretty clear too, I think.

I'm far too attached to Souji Seta and Minato Arisato already to accept the 'name change' they're given 5++ years later after we got semi-canon names. So yeah, I do know the feeling of being attached, OP, if for a different reason.
