Yuuki Mishima

## Voices

**Yuuki Mishima** (三島 (みしま) 由輝 (ゆうき) , *Mishima Yūki*) is a student of Shujin Academy and the founder of the Phantom Aficionado Website.

## Appearance

Mishima is likely of average height or shorter, with spiky blue-tinted black hair, black eyes and a relatively "average" face. He is designed to look absolutely ordinary to represent *all* fans of the Phantom Thieves, as well as the players. Otherwise, people might think only a certain type of person supports the main cast.

Mishima generally wears Shujin Academy's standard winter uniform sans the blazer and with the shirt untucked, sleeves rolled up to his elbows and suspenders off his shoulders. He also wears white tennis shoes with green accents. In the summer, Mishima again wears the standard uniform with the suspenders off. In casual settings he dons a long-sleeve shirt with green sleeves and a volleyball image sits in the middle with the words "BOYS' FIGHT" encircling it. He pairs this with tan cargo pants and blue sneakers.

At the beginning of the game, Mishima's face was fairly injured and his left arm was wrapped in bandages due to being constantly abused by Kamoshida.

## Personality

Bullied, abused and ignored, Mishima is an isolated individual who craves freedom from his day-to-day tortures. He used to be one of the students that Kamoshida likes to abuse and harass the most and often uses him to spread unfavorable rumors to students that he dislikes against his own will. He was also beaten a lot, and was heavily injured when first met. At one instance seen in-game, Kamoshida blatantly spikes a volleyball into Mishima's face.

Initially nervous and scared because of Kamoshida's abuse, once the tyrant of Shujin was neutralized, his excitable and loyal nature undoubtedly shines through. While his enthusiasm can become annoying, at times Mishima will still be hesitant and respectful, often apologizing for texting when he is sure the protagonist is busy. Mishima idolizes the protagonist as a cool superhero, most likely viewing the protagonist as his "savior" from his abuse under Kamoshida. There are times when Mishima will cling to the protagonist, once saying he will never forgive the protagonist if he is left behind. This clinginess and other socially awkward behaviors is likely due to his past of social isolation as a victim of bullying.

Although he looks up to the Phantom Thieves, he feels envious that he himself could never make an impact upon the world as they do. Mishima has always wanted to change himself and help others, but has internalized past taunts as a "nobody" and thus considers himself too pathetic and weak to do anything. As a result, when he was making the Phan-Site initially, he was merely using it to take advantage of the Phantom Thieves' popularity, and he has planned to use the protagonist to take down his past bullies. It required the protagonist to go to Mementos and speak with his Shadow just to make him reconsider on his own. When he saw one of his former bullies being beaten by a mob while investigating him, he instead protected him with a blank threat that he may report the mobs to the police with solid proof, which worked, making him realize that he doesn't need the Thieves' help to overturn his fates.

Mishima seems to be rather perceptive. He quickly realizes that the protagonist is a member of the Phantom Thieves. Additionally, he can both sense and articulate the mood of Tokyo's population before the other Phantom Thieves can as reflected in his poll questions. Mishima may be fairly intelligent as well, as he clearly knows how to build and maintain a website and has shown that he can gather enough evidence to build up a case against the Mementos targets put under his charge. He also has a perverted side, as he is responsible for the "Operation Maidwatch" event that led to Kawakami's double life being exposed in front of her students.

Mishima is surprisingly good with girls, as he receives chocolate on Valentine's Day while Ryuji doesn't.

According to the character anthology, Mishima is designed to be the "grounded" character among the Phantom Thieves.
