The Consultant Confidant – Takuto Maruki
Takuto Maruki is the newest Confidant introduced in Persona 5 Royal. He works as a part-time student counselor at Shujin Academy. A great listener and good with advice, the counselor quickly becomes rather popular among the school’s student body.
As a Confidant, it is implied that he will introduce additional Mementos mission requests and benefits to make the Phantom Thieves’ lives easier.
The information here is written in conjunction with our writer team from Japan and may receive updates and changes from time to time. Once the English version of Persona 5 Royal is officially released, we will revisit and finalize this page.
Unlocking Takuto
Takuto’s confidant events will be unlocked after you receive counseling from him after the midterms on May 13. He can be found in the school building on weekdays.
