Ren Amamiya, under his codename Joker (ジョーカー, Joker), is the protagonist of Persona 5.
Character Description
Ren Amamiya is the leader of the vigilante group known as the Phantom Thieves. After being falsely accused of assault, he was labeled a delinquent and moved to Tokyo, Japan to attend Shujin Academy as part of his probation. While there, he meets several of his soon-to-be team members, and learns of a world called the Metaverse, which the Phantom Thieves use to target corrupt individuals and change their heart. Joker is a user of a rare Persona ability known as the Wild Card, which allows him to hold multiple Personas at once. His initial Persona is Arsene, based on the literary gentleman thief Arsene Lupin.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Joker was confirmed to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character on December 6th, 2018 during The Game Awards 2018. He will be the first DLC fighter to be part of the Fighters Pass.
