**Makoto Sanada** (真田真(さなだまこと), *Sanada Makoto*) is the male protagonist of *Persona 2: Hope Harmony* and the anime series *Persona 2: The End of Seven Sisters High School - Eternal Punishment Arc*. He is a child of Jun Kitagawa and Chiaki Henderson and the fourth (initially third) child of his family. He is the second-year transfer student at Seven Sisters High School in the prologue and the leader of Armed Angel Agency. He is currently Sarah Silverman's husband, and the father of Kaito Sanada and Sayaka Sanada.

At the beginning of the game, he has suffered from amnesia when he transferred from his old place to his new home. However, beneath his cold and brave demeanor is a strong-willed Wild Card leading the Armed Angel Agency and capable of exploiting the Neoniverse to affect reality. To his teammates, his nickname is Paradox, and to the residents of the Velvet Room, he is known as the Hero of The World. Makoto is the leader of the secret agency Armed Angel Agency, a group that aims to save humanity, the world, and the universe and has the task of spying.

5 years later, he is a participant of the Final Survival Game featured in this anime series with the Assassination Specialized Execution Foundation Directors.

At the same time after the Final Survival Game ended, he is the leader of the Senior Assassinationers, the group consists of his friends who have the same tasks as before.

## Personality

As the per tradition of the *Megami Tensei* franchise, he is a silent protagonist, whose personality is based on the player's actions and decisions. However, he appears to have more established traits than any of the previous protagonists. His dialogue options exhibit a lot of humor, running gags, enthusiasm, annoyance, and badass. The game allows for several jokes, pranks, or audacious answers, including making jokes to his friends, his family, and his siblings.
