All Persona 5: The Phantom X characters: Wonder and the new Phantom Thieves, every Phantom Idol, their Personas, roles and how to unlock them.
Persona 5 The Phantom X Characters — Full Cast & Personas
Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X) stars a new protagonist, Wonder (canonical name Nagisa Kamishiro), whose initial Persona is Jánošík — plus a rotating roster of "Phantom Idols," cognitive Persona users drawn from people Wonder meets. The free-to-play spinoff launched globally in late June 2025 and reuses Persona 5's Metaverse structure with a new Tokyo story — one we map out in our Persona 5 locations guide — and it's Japanese-voice-only in every region: there is no English dub.
This guide covers every confirmed playable character: the Phantom Thieves of Hearts (the story party), the Phantom Idols (gacha units), the returning Persona 5 cast, and each character's Persona and combat role. If you're pulling on banners, start with our P5X banner and reroll guide; if you're chasing free rewards, the P5X redeem codes guide has the redemption steps.

Per the official Persona5: The Phantom X website, the game is "the first official mobile game of Persona 5, officially licensed by SEGA, co-developed with ATLUS, and produced by Perfect World Games" — it's a standalone story set in a parallel Tokyo, not a sequel to Persona 5 Royal.
The Protagonist: Wonder (Nagisa Kamishiro)
Wonder is the silent protagonist, canonically named Nagisa Kamishiro in the Japanese, Global and SEA releases. He's a second-year student at Kokatsu Academy who lives alone in Zoshigaya, Tokyo while his parents are abroad. Like Joker, he's a Wild Card-style user — but instead of 12 Persona slots, Wonder can equip up to three Personas at once (starting with one, expanded by leveling), and he's a Gun Assassin combat unit.
- Initial Persona: Jánošík — named after Juraj Jánošík, the Slovak highwayman who robbed the rich to give to the poor, the same rebel-hero tradition as Joker's Arsène. The official site and Game8's Wonder guide both confirm Jánošík as his starting Persona.
- Velvet Room — his attendants are Merope (a new assistant) and the familiar long-nosed Igor, who warns Wonder of a ruinous future.
- Voice — voiced by Kouki Uchiyama in Japanese (Soul Eater's Soul, Guilty Crown's Shu, Infinite Stratos' Ichika), per GameRant's P5X cast list.
Joker (Ren Amamiya) isn't the protagonist this time, but he and the rest of the original Phantom Thieves are obtainable as gacha units in P5X — Joker was the headline limited unit at global launch, and Ann, Ryuji, Morgana, Makoto, Yusuke, Futaba and Haru all appear as recruitable characters. The Persona 3 cast (led by Makoto Yuki) has also been added in later updates.
The New Phantom Thieves of Hearts
The story party in the Global/SEA build, per Hardcore Gamer's character list:
| Codename | Real name | Rarity | Persona | Role / element | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wonder | Nagisa Kamishiro | 5★ | Jánošík | Gun Assassin | Protagonist; free via story |
| Cattle | Lufel | 4★ | Robroy | Support (Fire, healing) | Owl guide who turns into a van in the Metaverse |
| Closer | Motoha Arai | 4★ | Awilda | Electric damage | First friend; Kiba Academy student |
| Soy | Shun Kano | 4★ | Mandrin | Physical tank | Defense-down support; axe user |
| Wind | Riko Tanemura | 5★ | Chiyome | Wind Strategist | Joins the main party in Chapter 3 |
| Luce | Shoki Ikenami | 4★ | Ghino | Bless damage | Canon Phantom Thief added in Version 4.0 |
Lufel (codenamed "Cattle" — nobody explains why) is the Morgana of this game: a mysterious owl creature who guides Wonder, knows the Metaverse, and can transform into a vehicle for travel. Motoha is the Ryuji-like first friend, Shun the gruff protector, and Riko the strategist who formally joins in Chapter 3 (Version 2.0 era content).
The Phantom Idols
Phantom Idols are cognitive manifestations — Persona users born from the cognition of people Wonder encounters, recruited through the gacha "Contracts" system. This is where most of the roster lives, and new Idols are added roughly every 2-3 weeks:
| Codename | Real name | Rarity | Persona | Role / element |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fleuret | Seiji Shiratori | 4★ | Leucothea | Wind damage |
| Chord | Ayaka Sakai | 5★ | Calliope | Electric + support |
| Vino | Chizuko Nagao | 4★ | Ampelos | Nuclear; an elderly grandmother character |
| Riddle | Haruna Nishimori | 5★ | Daeira | Psychokinesis + support |
| Okyann | Kayo Tomiyama | 4★ | Cleodora | Attack buffs / support |
| Messa | Kira Kitazato | 5★ | Harpyia | Physical damage |
| Key | Kiyoshi Kurotani | 4★ | Syke | Fire damage-over-time |
| Mont | Kotone Montagne | 4★ | Terpsichore | Ice damage |
| Leon | Leo Kamiyama | 4★ | Erytheia | Nuclear + recovery |
| Ange | Manaka Nagao | 5★ | Euterpe | Top-tier navigator/support |
| Cherish | Masaki Ashiya | 5★ | Amalthea | Ice shield support |
| Turbo | Mayumi Hashimoto | 5★ | Pitys | Physical damage |
| Puppet | Miyu Sahara | 4★ | Nemertes | Buff support |
| Rin | Yaoling Li | 5★ | Meng Po | Curse debuffer |
Combat roles in P5X follow an eight-class system — Assassin (single-target DPS), Sweeper (AoE DPS), Strategist (buff support), Saboteur (debuffs), Medic (healing), Guardian (tanking/shields), Elucidator (navigator support) and Virtuoso (role-switching units introduced in Version 2.7). Wonder himself can fill any role by swapping the Personas in his three slots.
P5X banners give you both character Contracts and standalone Personas. Wonder's Persona Stock lets you attach two extra Personas to him, which is how free players cover elements their roster lacks — don't spend everything on characters if your Wonder has no coverage.
No English Dub — The Japanese Cast
P5X ships with Japanese voice acting only, in every region. The original Persona 5 voice actors reprise their roles (Ikue Otani as Morgana, Mamoru Miyano as Ryuji, and so on), while the new cast includes:
- Wonder — Kouki Uchiyama
- Lufel — Ai Nonaka
- Motoha — Kaede Hondo
- Shun Kano — Katsuyuki Konishi
