Atlus’s next game in the Persona series, Persona 4: Arena, will be out in just a couple of weeks. To celebrate they’ve released several pieces of character concept art, screenshots and bios. Will be bringing you one of these a day until the end of the week.

Our first bio is for Yosuke Hanamura- a third-year high school student who is clumsy and paranoid. During the events of Persona 4  he transferred in six months before the protagonist and is often the target for jokes amongst the group.

His official bio from Atlus is below or check out some cool character select/ in-game screens after the jump. Persona 4: Arena will be available later this August for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

A 3rd-year Yasogami High student who was the brains of the Investigation Team that solved last year’s case. He’s a cheerful trickster with speedy, unpredictable moves. His Persona is Jiraiya, master of wind.
