Shinjiro Aragaki [Zombie Apocalypse.]

Also known as Guy from the Other Day Shinji (by Akihiko) Shin-chan (by Rei) Shin (PQ) Gakky (by Teddie) Brood (PQ2) Affiliation SEES School Gekkoukan High School Date of Birth August 11th, 1991 Age 18 Zodiac Leo Height 177 cm (5'10") Blood Type A Melee Weapon Battle Axe Appearance: Shinjiro is the tallest playable character in Persona 3. He has unkempt brown hair (taupe brown in Persona 3 The Movie), worn perpetually under a beanie, and steel-colored eyes (the same color as his hair in Persona 3 Reload). He is somewhat warmly composed, a change from the generally pale cast (there is occasionally some discrepancy with his color scheme in anime cutscenes on the console versions of the game, especially regarding his skin tone). Personality: A reliable and serious character whose cold exterior masks his weaker, gentler self, Shinjiro's difficult past weighs him down, causing him to constantly push others away with a tough-guy act. Ever since accidentally causing the death of Ken's mother, he has given up being a member of SEES to live a normal life, even though there are only so many Persona-users and so SEES needs all the help they can get, something even Yukari, who has no love for SEES or the Dark Hour, has the sense to realize. As he points out to Akihiko, both of them are held back by the guilt of their pasts; they just have completely different ways of dealing with it. Various parts of Shinjiro's personality are revealed in the different versions of Persona 3, and he is (like most other male characters) difficult to know when playing the male protagonist's route. In FES, Portable, and Reload, the dorm recordings show an event regarding Shinjiro's "other side." He is revealed to love dogs, in particular Koromaru, who he spoils; in the same scene, he is shown to be an avid cook that enjoys learning from cooking shows.

In Persona 3 Portable, via the female protagonist's Moon Social Link, the player is able to see the most of Shinjiro. Progressively, he is revealed to be a kind and caring person, always worrying after the other members of SEES. He takes great pleasure in being able to help his friends (though he might not admit he even enjoys their company), and he doesn't want to see them make the same mistakes he might have made in the past. He seems to have a deep relationship with Akihiko, being his childhood friend and always worrying about him even after leaving SEES. Despite trying to keep her at arm's length, Shinjiro admires the female protagonist, and views her as a strong leader. Additionally, he also protects Ken from danger due to the past and takes care of him like a younger brother, mostly seen in Persona 3 The Movie as both are even closer unlike the games and eventually, before his death, feels no regret but hopes Ken will grow up and stay strong. In Persona Q, despite his normally calm and quiet demeanor, it is shown that he easily loses his cool whenever he's with his childhood friend, Akihiko. They often get into fights, usually resulting in childish banters. He is also often dragged into his friend's antics, mostly involving competing over just about anything. During those times, his competitive nature surfaces. He never really admits it, but Shinjiro also apparently hates losing. In Persona Q2, he seems to be able to understand Goro Akechi's distance from their respective group and just by how Akechi reacts and takes his responsibilities, he's able to tell Akechi has done things he may regret in the past and how he can be quite distant with the Phantom Thieves.

Shinjiro is Akihiko Sanada's childhood friend and was an orphan at the same orphanage. He is a senior in Gekkoukan High School, although he doesn't attend class often. Shinjiro was one of the original Persona users who made up SEES, alongside Akihiko and Mitsuru Kirijo. Unfortunately, during one fateful mission two years ago in 2007, his Persona went out of control and accidentally killed an innocent bystander: Ken Amada's mother. Shinjiro forced himself away from the group after the incident. He began skipping school and living as an outcast. He also started doing shady deals with Strega in order to get suppressants to suppress his Persona in hopes that he could repress the memory of what he had done, and also for its lethal side effects as a means of gradual suicide out of the immense shame and guilt he felt over it. Shinjiro and Akihiko have stayed in touch over the years, but Shinjiro refuses Akihiko's invitations to rejoin SEES until he learns that Ken has decided to join their group. He is fully aware of Ken's vendetta and is ready to take responsibility for his actions. Though he puts on a brave front, the guilt of having killed an innocent woman ate away at him. Shinjiro's first in-game appearance is early on, when Yukari Takeba, Junpei Iori and the protagonist encounter him at the hospital where Akihiko recovers. He briefly greets the party. He later appears when the same trio decide to investigate a back alley; he saves them from danger by headbutting petty thugs and urges them to avoid returning to the area. He is met by Akihiko in several scenes, when the two reminisce on their past and how they survived a fire at an orphanage that killed Miki, Akihiko's sister.

Eventually, as the threat of the Shadows increase, Akihiko convinces Shinjiro to join SEES only once he mentions Ken Amada, the son of the woman he killed, joined the team. In battle, Shinjiro relies on his brute strength and wields a heavy axe. His Persona uses physical attacks, and specializes in maintaining his power with HP recovery and damage boosting skills. in this world there was no person, a zombie apocalypse came and Shinjiro tries to survive and find his comrades, he learned in a short time that you need to kill zombies in the head and that you need to try to avoid bites.
