About Makoto Niijima
She is one of the main characters of the game Persona 5.
Makoto Niijima is a third-year honors student at Shujin Academy, as well as the president of the school’s student council. After the incidents relating to teacher Kamoshida and the Phantom Thieves took place, the school’s principal asked Makoto to investigate suspicious students.
Her investigations led to the discovery of Ren Amamiya and his group, who were indeed related to the Phantom Thieves. Due to her ideals of justice, which she learned from her late father, Makoto blackmailed Ren in order for him and his group to take down the Shibuya mafia, which was threatening several students from Shujin.
Given her problems with her elder sister, the famous prosecutor Sae Niijima, Makoto felt the need to help the Phantom Thieves to expose the leader of the mafia, which resulted in the whole group getting blackmailed to pay millions of yen to the mafia. After learning about the Metaverse and the ability to change people’s hearts, Makoto joined the Phantom Thieves as their strategist.
