Yusuke Kitagawa Confidant Guide

Yusuke is a tall, dark, and handsome fellow. A smooth operator, he is 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 someone a little creepy at times. Because he was raised in a sheltered environment, his approach to others may come off as stalker-like and creepy.
