You play as the male protagonist in the new Persona 3 remake, Persona 3 Reload, but what is the character’s name?
Persona 3 Reload is a long-awaited ground-up remake of Persona 3, one of the most beloved and dark entries in the JRPG franchise. Reload takes the narrative and characters from the original release and injects a stylish visual overhaul to them that makes the presentation similar to the flare of Persona 5 Royal.
Throughout your time in Reload, you’ll be interacting with a lovable cast of characters including your fellow S.E.E.S members and many unique NPC’s you can increase your social links with. You play as a male protagonist who you can name anything you want but you may be curious as to what his canon name is in the game.
So, here’s everything you need to know about the protagonist’s name in P3R.
What is Persona 3 Reload’s protagonist called?
The canon name of Persona 3 Reload’s main character is Makoto Yuki. This name had previously been used in different media including the Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight spin-off, and the game’s film adaptions, before being confirmed as canon in the 2023 re-release of Persona 3 Portable, and carrying over as the official name in Reload.

There are two other names the character has had, however. In the official manga adaption of the game, he’s called Minato Arisato, and he’s also known as Sakuya Shiomi in the stage musical The Weird Masquerade.
What should I call the protagonist in P3R?
Ultimately, the protagonist’s name doesn’t impact the story at all in Persona 3 Reload, so you can call him whatever you want! If you’d prefer to stick to the canon go with Makoto Yuki but if you’d like to feel a bit more personally connected to the game’s world you could use your own name.
