Itching for some out-of-this-world, over-the-top JRPG action? Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is out, and you can jump right in and battle through Tokyo and the fictional world of Da’at. If you played the original Shin Megami Tensei V, you already have an idea of what this game is all about. This installment adds a separate storyline dubbed Canon of Vengeance with its own series of twists and turns. We won’t spoil anything for you, but we can safely say that the charm from the original game is still here.
Picking out your character name in a game like this is pretty important since you can’t change it midway through your playthrough. This got many fans wondering – does the protagonist have a canon name in the game? If you’re wondering the same thing, we’ve got you covered! Read on as we reveal further details about the canonical name of the protagonist in this fantastic new JRPG.
What is the Name of the Protagonist in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
The protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance doesn’t have a canonical name, but in the localized version of the game, his name was Kei Amemura.
In SMTV: Vengeance, you’re a third-year student at Jourin High School, and in true Isekai fashion, you are transported to a desolate world called Da’at. Here, your character merges with a powerful entity known as Aogami. This fusion turns you into a Nahobino and grants you extraordinary powers.
With your newfound powers, it’s your job to stop the demonic forces threatening both the real world and the world of Da’at. The entire prospect is pretty exciting!
The moment you jump into the game and the opening cutscene plays out, players are faced with an important decision – choosing their name. Now you can go with any game you like. In the Japanese version of the game, he was simply called Protagonist.
However, in the localized version of the game according to the debug menu, the devs decided to name the protagonist Kei Amemura. While this name isn’t mentioned anywhere else in the official release, most fans agree that this is the canonical name of the protagonist in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
Should I Name My Character Kei Amemura?
Naming your character Kei Amemura has no real impact on the story. The NPCs will still refer to you as Nahobino. So it doesn’t really matter what you name your character. But it’s still a fun bit of trivia to know and talk about with your friends when you play it.
