- Tatsuya Suou (Japanese: 周防 達哉, Hepburn: Suō Tatsuya) is a fictional character featured in the Persona series primarily developed and published by Atlus, appearing as a main character in the 1999 role-playing video game Persona 2: Innocent Sin, in addition to its direct sequel Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (2000), both initially released for the PlayStation. Debuting as the main player protagonist in the former game, he is portrayed as a silent character whose thoughts and actions are decided by the player, whereas he appears in a supporting capacity with a defined voice and characterization in the latter entry. He is a student attending Seven Sisters High School in Sumaru City alongside his best friend Lisa "Ginko" Silverman, until they are both encouraged to investigate a mysterious phenomenon involving rumors being spread around their school coming to fruition as a result of the obscured entity known as "Joker". He along with Silverman, subsequently awakens to a power concealed within them known as the "Persona"—metaphysical deities representing his subconscious spirit, and learns to wield said power when embarking on a trip across the city to investigate the origins of the rumor phenomenon. Tatsuya was designed by Kazuma Kaneko, lead character designer on the first three main entries in the Persona series in addition to numerous other titles in the larger Megami Tensei franchise. Kaneko commented on the character's sexuality and relationship towards another party member in Innocent Sin, Jun Kurosu, stating that his characterization and design stemmed from a desire to attract the Yaoi subculture within the Japanese fanbase, consisting of young females valuing homosexual relationships between fictional male characters. Outside of the main entries, Suou has also appeared in Persona 2: Tsumi - Lost Memories, a mobile RPG adapting Innocent Sin's narrative, as well as Persona 2: Innocent Sin ~ The Errors of Their Youth, an audio drama CD that serves as a prologue to the events of Eternal Punishment. Tatsuya Suou's character has been positively received by critics and fans across the Persona 2 duology, with many holding his characterization and relationship arc with Jun Kurosu in particularly high regard.
