The Truth About Kasumi Yoshizawa (Character Analysis in Japanese Context)

Kasumi Yoshizawa in Persona 5 Royal seems to highlight the influence of Confucian values and Eastern Philosophy on the Japanese mindset. Values like "On, Giri, and Gaman," can lead people to have low self-esteem and a fear of failure. This is due to Persona 5 and P5 Royal's unique premise, which deals particularly with Japanese cultural issues. This video analyzes Kasumi's (Sumire's) character under the appropriate sociocultural context.
