Yu Narukami

In Persona 4, Yu Narukami is a high school student who moves to the countryside of Inaba to live with his uncle Ryotaro Dojima and cousin Nanako Dojima for a year as a result of his parents working abroad, and attends Yasogami High School where he meets most of the game's cast.

Upon learning of the Midnight Channel's connection with the murders in Inaba, Yu gains access to the TV world, where he investigates the case alongside his friends and is appointed as their leader as a result of his experience.

There he awakens his initial Persona, Izanagi, a swordsman wearing a black coat, which he uses to fight embodiements of humans' negative feelings, the Shadows.

Yu also has the unique "Wild Card" (Wairudo) ability, which allows him to swap Personas for use in battle.

This is tied with the Social Links (Community (Komyuniti) in Japan) mechanic: each bond Yu makes with other characters grants him access to more and much stronger Personas, each named after one of the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck.

Yu's own Arcana is The Fool (Gusha), representing the group as a whole and personified by Izanagi, which later becomes the Judgement (Shinpan), when the Investigation Team realizes that Taro Namatame is not responsible for his actions and begin to seek out the real culprit behind the Inaba events (This bond is represented by the Persona Lucifer (Rushifa-) in the anime).

After closing the serial murder case, Yu learns he gained his powers from the goddess Izanami who had been posing as the Moel gas station attendant and aims to transform people into Shadows.

Yu defeats Izanami by transforming Izanagi into Izanagi-no-Okami (Izanagi-no-O-kami), representing The World (Sekai), thanks to the power he gained from his many friends through Social Links.

He then returns to his hometown, saying farewell to his friends.
