With the recent announcement of the Persona 4 anime, the name of the main character comes into question. As you may know, he was named Souji Seta in the manga. HOWEVER, apparently his name is going to be Yu Narukami in the anime. And of course he is known to many as Charlie Tunoku. 

"

Now, I personally think that the page should either be Charlie Tunoku, or something like "Persona 4's Main Character." 

"

Isn't there a board for renaming stuff? Maybe we should take this there.

If we're sticking with a name, I think Yu Narukami should be it. The P4 dev team is actually involved with that in some capacity as opposed to the manga(0 involvement).

Should be Charlie Tunoko. Most people know him by that name, and "Main Character" is far too overused.

What ever is canon in the video game should be the name of the page.  It's like Red with the Pokemon series.  His name isn't Ash or Satoshi in the games, it's Red.

If Charlie is his canon name, then the page should be Charlie.

I think Souji Seta should be the default name and any other names should be used as aliases (though Charlie Tunoku is debatable). It doesn't really matter too much since they redirect to the same page anyway.

" @Hailinel:   If that's the cause, then it should be something similar to Hero from the Dragon Quest VIII. "

Should be MC or Protagonist (Persona 4) with  Souji, Yu and (possibly) Charlie as aliases redirects.

Outside of the GB community-- No. They've already said that they don't want a joke wiki. Charlie Tunoku is really insular. "

I've always known him as MC outside of my own game and Souji Seta in the manga.

Stick with Souji, or go with Yu. Make the others aliases (and even making an alias for "Charlie Tonuku" is admittedly a bit in-jokey). Naming a character page "protagonist" is just awkward and ugly.

My vote is to stick with Souji Seta; it's been around for longer and a lot of the community has taken to that name, so changing it to Yu makes no sense.

He should just be Protagonist (Persona 4).

He should just be Protagonist (Persona 4).

This thread was created five months ago, when he had no canon name. Now, though, the P4 fighter has confirmed that Yu Narukami is his canon name, so this page's name should be changed to that.

Yes, the page's name should now be "Yu Narukami".

I still think his name should be Charlie, or something like Persona 4's Main Character. Why should his name in the anime be his name here? This is a video game site, not an anime site. That's what Anime Vice is for.

His name in the fighting game is "Yu Narukami". It is now his official name.

I been trying to change it for months
 
or Reginald Starfire

Well he should just be "The Protagonist" but because that can also be said about a lot of wser created characters that don´t have a pseudo name ( like Shepard or the Vault Dweler) ,I think it would the best to call him Yu Narukami , Souji is his canon name for the manga but this is a videogame wiki so sticking to Yu seems more proper given that´s his name for the P4 Ultimate videogame

You just wait until they localize it for the US and they call him Charlie! JUST WAIT AND SEE! [Insert maniacal laughter here]

If the page isn't renamed to Yu Narukami, it should be Protagonist (Persona 4). Naming the page simply "The Protagonist" is just setting it up to be confused with numerous other "Protagonist" pages.

@Hailinel: Oh sure The Persona 3 protagonist is also "the Protagonist" so it should be specified by game in case there´s a name change , also do the avatars of Monster Hunter games have a name? or are they just "the hunter".

Well, here are some of the page names for characters that don't have names:

• Protagonist (Strange Journey)
• Persona 3 Portable Heroine
• Protagonist (Shin Megami Tense: If...)
• Devil Survivor Protagonist

I think the best name for this character would be "Mysterious Transfer Student."

Is there any reason Charlie Tunoku isn't an alias?

It's not his alias. People need to understand this isn't a Giant Bomb centric wiki, it's a video game wiki. You don't see Commander Shepard with a million aliases of all the names the users gave him/her.

Is there any reason Charlie Tunoku isn't an alias?

its yu narukami now!

He'll always be Charlie to me, but I would agree that it should be "Persona 4's Protagonist" or something like it.

Segata Soujiro. DEAL WITH IT. ;p

But I'm glad this has been (mostly) settled (for now) at least (probably).

Why are people still commenting here? Why?! Shouldn't this thread be locked by now?

Mmkay to end this once and for all!! His name is nothing, it will always be nothing he is a blank slate, that's how it is supposed to be! If you give him a name they have to have inner turmoil. The mc can't go without a personality if he has a name, if this name "Yu Narukami" was indeed canon he should of had this name in the first game the original. But why all of a sudden a arcade game is canon? If they wanted something to be canon make a squeal in the same style as the first game dumbasses. This name is not canon and will never be canon, so that is the end of this because an arcade game is not and I repeat not a good way to continue a series. Blazblue is the only arcade game that works since it was an arcade to begin with.
