Sugimura is a supporting antagonist in Persona 5. He is the abusive, perverted and narcissistic fiance of Haru Okumura.
He was voiced by Hisayoshi Suganuma in Japanese and by Philip Reich in the English dub.
What Makes Him A Hate Sink[]
- He treats Haru as his plaything, rather than an actual person. This is seen in the scene after the Phantom Thieves chase Morgana and Haru, where he is seen grabbing Haru and clearly making her feel uncomfortable. Another instance of this is the scene after the protagonist seemingly died, he is seen touching Haru's hair in a flirty and seductive way that again clearly makes her feel uncomfortable.
- He kicked Morgana when he attacked him with no remorse, showing he is not above animal abuse.
- In Haru's Confidant event, he tries to manipulate Haru into marrying him.
- Unlike most of the other hate sinks in the game, who you can fight, be that in their Palace or Mementos, Sugimura cannot be fought. And while you can't fight Jyun Owada, he still is arrested courtesy of Zenkichi Hasegawa. And Kobayakawa and the SIU Director cannot be fought either, but at least gets a well-deserved death courtesy of Goro Akechi. Sugimura is taken out of Haru's life thanks to Takakura voiding the contract Haru's father made, but has otherwise got away scot-free despite his actions.
