Yusuke Kitagawa, the Emperor Confidant in Persona 5 Royal
Yusuke is a tall, dark, and handsome fellow. Methodical and quick-thinking, Yusuke kicks ass with an assault rifle and a katana. When fighting, he uses the mask of the Fox while summoning his persona, Goemon.
Despite his calm demeanor, Yusuke may come off as rather awkward at times. Because he was raised in a sheltered environment, his approach to others may come off as stalker-like and creepy.
Persona 5 Royal Confidant List and Recruitment Guide
Phantom Thief Fox
Yusuke’s Phantom Thief alter ego is Fox. His outfit consists of a black and white jumpsuit, white boots, and light blue gloves. An ornament meant to resemble a fox tail can be seen at the back of the attire.
Yusuke wears a kitsune mask befitting of his code name. He wields a katana and an assault rifle in battle. As the Emperor Confidant, Yusuke invokes Goemon, a persona who uses powerful physical and ice skills to combat shadows. Goemon is based on Ishikawa Goemon, a famous outlaw from feudal Japan whose exploits have likened him to Robin Hood told in western legends.
Unlocking
You can find Yusuke in Shibuya Underground Station after school most days. After you max out, you can summon Odin.

Royal, Rank 1: Last dialogue option “Thanks.” gives +2 with arcana boost.
For the phone convo in Rank 4, option 2 doesnt give any points
This. Rank 4 phone call does not give +1 for every option (“Just keep drawing”/option 2 gives 0 and “don’t get discouraged”/option 1 gives +2).
Rank 3 phone P5r, not all choices are 2 notes
‘That’s All?’ is definitely not 2 notes.
Rank 3. The option I chose did not give me any notes, so not all of them are 2 notes.
Rank 4 royal option 3 doesn’t give any points
rank SIX option 3: Maybe he was sympathetic = +3
