Persona 5 Strikers - Zenkichi Hasegawa Guide

 

Zenkichi is a Kyoto investigator tasked with gathering information on the Phantom Thieves and the string of strange events occurring across Japan. He has a daughter named Akane .

Although Zenkichi's appearance and demeanor suggests him to be unreliable, he is actually deceptively intelligent and easy-going, and surprisingly hides no secret motivation unlike Goro Akechi , another detective who joined the Phantom Thieves in the past and believed in their justice.

However, Zenkichi also has a comical side and a tendency to panic or overreact when caught completely off guard which usually involves him speaking, screaming in dismay.

In this guide we will go to see Zenkichi's Persona, its stats, abilities and combos to use.
