Yosuke Hanamura

Yosuke is a main character in Persona 4 Abridged, a student at Yasogami High School, and the instigator for the formation of the Investigation Team.

Biography
Yosuke, at the beginning of the series, worked at Inaba's local convenience store, Junes, while attending Yasogami High. Through his employment at Junes, he developed a crush on fellow employee and classmate Saki Konishi. Through currently unknown events, Saki Konishi died which inspired Yosuke to go into the TV world, a world he discovered with the help of transfer student Yu Narukami and friend Chie Satonaka not long before Saki's death. After encountering a "shadow version" of himself inside the TV world and facing it head-on, Yosuke developed the power to summon his "persona," which he used along with Yu and Chie to help solve a series of kidnappings related to the Saki Konishi incident.

Yosuke has been shown to be incredibly stupid but also good at motivating others. While it was because he was convinced Yu was afraid of TVs, he managed to catalyze the events that lead himself, Yu and Chie to the TV world by convincing them to go to Junes with him. Better examples of her persuasiveness were when he convinced Chie that Ai Ebihara was a succubus, or when he convinced Chie and Yukiko Amagi to wear the swimsuits he had been wearing under his clothes for weeks. Along with those incidents, he's been noted to eat food out of the trash, fight bears (on more than one occasion), and start spontaneous music numbers.
