The SIU Director is a supporting antagonist in Persona 5. As his name suggests, he is the director of the Special Investigation Unit (SIU), and is the boss of Sae Niijima and a pawn of Masayoshi Shido. He is also in charge of the Phantom Thieves case after they changed the hearts of several corrupt adults.
He is voiced by Tomohisa Aso in Japanese Dub and Kirk Thornton in English Dub.
What Makes Him Hated?[]
- He is a rotten bastard without any redeeming qualities.
- While his unit has a good track record and hasn't lost a case in fifty years, this is due to submitting false evidence.
- He conspires with Masayoshi Shido regarding his plans regarding the mental shutdowns. This means he oversaw the deaths of Kobayakawa and Okumura.
- He is likely misogynistic, judging by the way he treats Sae, such as pressuring her into capturing the Phantom Thieves, and threatening to terminate her from the police force if she fails.
- While he did die due to a mental shutdown courtesy of Goro Akechi, it is in no way undeserved due to his attitude and actions.
