When the Phantom Thieves steal the Treasure of the CEO of Okumura Foods, the team doesn't notice the black-masked person slip in and kill Okumura's Shadow with a silenced pistol, leaning to Okumura's brain-death in the real world before he can name his co-conspirators. Afterwards, he starts hanging out at Cafe Le Blanc, hoping to get close to the Protagonist. Goro himself makes several public statements that their tactics are criminal in themselves, and pledges to hunt them down for the police. Meanwhile, Goro finds himself drawn into the debate over the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts," as they continue rising in popularity due to several criminals being reformed by them. The Protagonist and his party hear from the Shadows of both Madarame and Kaneshiro that a "black-masked" person has been hopping between Palaces, using them for his own benefit.
However, a new group of Persona-users interfered with his plans. Goro secretly planned to gain enough favor with his father that he would backstab him once he acknowledged their relationship. Not only did this help remove Shido's rivals, but Goro could place himself as a detective who uncovered the culprit behind the actions, when he was secretly the one causing them. Using his ability to enter the Metaverse and use a Persona, Goro caused multiple people across Tokyo to have mental breakdowns or even go completely brain-dead, under Shido's hidden direction. With this new power, Goro decided to approach Shido, and offered to help him eliminate all obstacles in his path to power.

Unbeknownst to him, Goro was given this power by the god Yaldabaoth, who planned to give the power to him and the Protagonist as part of a rigged game to prove that humanity no longer needed free will. Goro soon stumbled into the Metaverse on his own and was granted the "Wild Card" power, similar to that of the Protagonist. The mother soon died from the stress of raising Goro, leaving him all alone.Īt some point before the start of Persona 5, Goro discovered that his father was Masayoshi Shido, the cruel politician who saw everyone as a mere means to his end of gaining power. He lets slip to the Protagonist that he was a bastard born out of wedlock to a single mother by a dad who abandoned her as soon as he found out about her pregnancy. However, Goro's public face hides a much darker personality.
#GORO AKECHI FICTIONAL CHARACTER TV#
As a young prodigy who excels in academic work as well as detective work, Goro often finds himself called in to appear on several TV and radio shows, and he relishes the spotlight. Goro is a high school student who moonlights as a detective, similar to Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4, to the point where Goro is hailed as the "Second Coming of the Detective Prince," though it's never stated if Goro or Naoto are aware of each other. Goro's true Persona, Loki, is popularly known as a shapeshifting trickster god in Norse mythology, referring to his own role as a hidden Trickster in the game created by Yaldabaoth. Like Goro, Kogoro is a genius who dresses well, seeks an infamous thief capable of wearing many different masks (the "Fiend With Twenty Faces"), and most of his cases take place in Tokyo. Goro is loosely based on the fictional detective Kogoro Akechi, written by Edogawa Rampo (real name: Tarō Hirai) in multiple stories between 1925-1962. Alternate outfit is a black knight motif complete with enclosed helmet.
Outfit: A cavalry-style outfit combined with a red mask with a long beak similar to that of a medieval-era plague doctor, or a Japanese tengu.
