Biography
Yu Narukami moved, for unknown reasons, from his parents' house to the home of his uncle Dojima to attend Yasogami High School. Due to strange events related to the town's rumored "Midnight Channel," Yu found himself able to transport between the real world and an alternate world through televisions. Along with this, he obtained the power to summon "personas" which are used to fight monsters in the TV world known as "shadows." Since his transfer, his classmate Yosuke, motivated by the death of his crush, persuaded him to enter the mysterious TV world in order to investigate the murder which sparked a series of additional kidnappings that Yu and Yosuke felt compelled to help solve.

Yu started out quiet and reserved, but as he's spent more time with his new friends, whether it be through signing up for basket ball, going on camping trips, or rescuing people from the TV world, he's slowly opened up and shown his more comedic side. Initially, he was shown to be cold, rude, and blunt towards the other members of the Investigation Team, but now, while still rude, he demonstrates a sort of playfulness to his rude comments, going from saying things like, "There are bricks smarter than you," to "Wise beyond your years, Yosuke." His sense of humor, while still dark, has shown signs of progressively becoming more light-hearted.
