Nice negative space use for this shibori yukata with a tsubame (swallow) pattern. The muted belt is a lovely hassun obi (unlined obi = single layer of crisp fabric) with a kenjô hakata gara (geometrical pattern symbolizing different buddhist items, notably the tokko=vajra club).

[ The spirit of a delinquent is passed down through the ages. ]
In fact, what made Mr. Wakui wanted/inspired to become a manga artist was by #Tokko no Taku, which he once read...!
That's why [Tokyo Revengers] has a "delinquent spirit/soul” inherited from "Shippu Densetsu: Special Attack Taku". Please take a look at the "Inheritance of the Soul Advertisement" locally!
side note: in short, wakui’s most popular delinquent manga and his inspired manga were doing a collaboration and advertising (first, maybe?) in Shibuya. Perhaps there would be more soon?
Mysterious feeling for this modern outfit, pairing a gekka bijin (litt. “beauty in the moonlight”) patterned kimono, with a white kenjô-hakata-ori obi.
Night-blooming cereus are cacti flowers mostly known by their nickname “queen of the night” as they bloom only by moonlight - some for but a night (pic source):
Kenjô Hakata ori is a fabric from Hakata (Fukuoka prefecture) with geometrical patterns figuring buddhists items (tokko/vajra 独鈷, hanazara/offering plate 華皿) and stripes symbolizing filial+parental virtues (types are called ryoukomochi 両子持, and nakakomochi 中子持)
Sorry this is unfinished but I need to post these now just bc idfk when i'm gonna actually finish the rest realistically. Idk it will happen eventually. For now heres the great p5u ramblings post detailing my thoughts designs
This is my own personal interpretations but is also somewhat speculative in nature. I'm mostly trying to deal in already established characterizations and epilogue set ups but there might be stuff I've missed or forgotten (i also haven't played dancing yet sorry if there's something in there I hadn't accounted for). This is kind of like if I took the creative reigns on the story where I'd continue for it. Only the investigation team for now (and 2 boss characters I have an idea for) but maybe I'll do the shadow ops at some point. Only 4 characters for now but I'll reblog with additions when I finish the rest or if I edit any of these
Yu Narukami
He's currently attending school as a journalism student in the city or just starting out as one. Enthusiastic about his field but still tries to find the time to keep up with his friends and visit Inaba on his holidays. I felt journalism made alot of sense for him with the themes of persona 4.
I liked the sport jacket and turtleneck but wanted soemthing different so the scarf was chosen to keep the same kind of silhouette. I made the collar on the winter coat large and I feel like Narukami's large uniform collar is a key part of his design. and I wanted to call back to that in his casual outfit.
The summer outfit I mostly kept close to his summer outfit from p4. I'm kind of unsure on it though I might come back to it. I mostly wanted to keep his outfits smart and simple.
For his meta verse outfit I really wanted to go all out with the bancho (kingpin) stuff and other delinquent tropes. I lengthened the uniform coat a little because I wanted it to look like a tokko-fuku. Alot of smaller detail inspiration was taken from Izanagi. The lenses in the mask are supposed to mimic glasses. I'd imagine he'd take off the mask the same way he throws off his glasses in myriad truths.
Teddie
I can't imagine him leaving Inaba and the TV world behind. Still staying in town and working largely the same job. He's got his own place now albeit small (still a step up from the closet though). At some point the IT asked Mitsuru to pull some strings so he actually has a legal personhood now.
The animal hoodie is something that came to me spontaneously but I knew I needed to include it. I really that his normal outfit in 4 keeps the white and red of the bear costume in the outfit so I tried to keep the colour scheme here too. Most of his later outfits are less flashy and more casual so I tried to continue that trend.
I didn't want to lose the rose from the corsage completely so I included a rose pattern in the second shirt. Alot of his outfits feature light blue so I wanted that in at least one outfit. I considered making the hoodie light blue initially.
I don't think he'd have a metaverse outfit he'd just use the bear costume.
Naoto Shirogane
I'm under the assumption Naoto is still presenting masculinely to the general public as of p5 but I may be mistaken in this. If I'm wrong I'd still probably largely keep the outfits similar to this.
Naoto's still working as a detective and I don't think that's ever really going to change. One thing that a hypothetical p5u would have to address is what Naoto and the shadow ops would have been doing during the events of persona 5 and I unfortunately do not have any ideas for what that would be at the moment.
I feel alot of the appeal of Naoto's design is the kind of boy detective fashion. I went at this design with the intention of kind of refining that into something a little more adult while still keeping in a similar vein. I did have to ditch the pageboy hat unfortunately as I felt it made them look too young. These outfits were kind of design as pseudo work clothes which is why I tried to make them a bit more formal then the other characters.
Something I consider notable about Naoto's design but deliberately avoided here was the rolled up pant legs. It's very obvious in 4 it's done because Naoto is short but I feel like Naoto would start getting that either custom made or tailored to fit. I was initially going to forgo the blazer on the summer outfit but the design felt empty without it.
Naoto having a noir detective themed metaverse outfit is an idea I'd had for years but I tried to incorporate design elements that were princely. I alot of the inspiration was from Sam Spade specifically. Deliberately made similarities to Akechi's white crow design. The band around the hat is supposed to invoke the similar one on the old page boy hat.
Yukiko Amagi
Still working at her families in but is taking online courses during the off seasons. She's mostly happy where she is but is keeping her options open. Occasionally makes visits to other ryokans out of town for ideas for her families own inn, as well as an opportunity to for her to sight see.
The headband was included in her design in p4 as a like retro design thing but I find it too important of a marker of her design to remove it. I understand the why they went with the hairstyle they did for her golden epilogue but I feel it just ends up making her look way older then she is. I thought her having her hair up would be a nice change since she does it so rarely and settled on a ponytail. Tried changing the bangs but the ones she already had just felt right.
I wanted her clothes to carry this kind of air of sophistication so I tried to keep them relatively simple and sleek. She's wearing pants in the winter outfit but I chose the longer coat to keep a similar skirt silhouette. The choker was largely inspired by the scarf she has in her winter outfit. Despite being a different colour the cardigan was also chosen to tie back somewhat to the sweater she wears with her school uniform.
In some side material it's mentioned that Yukiko has an interest in western fashion and aesthetics (part of what made the castle manifest the way it did) and I wanted to lean on that in some way for her metaverse design. I ended up going with a masquerade ball theme. I tried to keep the dress to something simple and easy to move in. The gloves and boots take inspiration from her persona in terms of design and size. I wanted to incorporate elements from her work kimono as well hence the ribbon around the torso and flower patterning.
Probably the most unsure of this one of the metaverse designs so far. Especially the colours (considered making the reds pinks initially). Might revisit this one.
Ok that's all I have for now I'll probably do Rise's next 👍👍👍

Nationality: Korean
Relatives: Ryeo (Father), Paek (Grandfather), Nan (Grandmother) Tokko (Dead Mother)
Personality: Independent, earnest, and sometimes arrogant. Very intelligent and hard-working.
Appearance: She is short in height, but has long ears. She has brown fur with white spots.
Outfits:
(Casual): She wears a long pastel blue cardigan over a white buttoned shirt and a cute black Lolita skirt. A stuffed animal of the Winter Stag sits in the right pocket of her cardigan. She also wears a watch that is used to listen to audio.
(Extraordinary): Her outfit was created by the sewing club. She wears a bright blue jacket with a snowflake logo, a bowtie, and a black checkered skirt. She also wears an eye mask, a mouth mask, a hood, and knee-high shoes. Her jacket also has hidden pockets. The weapons that she chooses are located inside. Her jacket and skirt are reversible? She also carries a large backpack filled with “weapons” wherever she goes.
Powers/Skills:
[Hyper Awareness]: Sam has an increased sense of awareness, often to the extent that few can if any, little details miss her notice. A cute fact about this is that her ears wiggle when she is aware.
[Psychometry]: Sam obtains historical memories or sensations concerning the beings and objects she observes. This doesn’t work on some objects.
[Psychocompetence]: Sam develops skills and abilities through touch and previous experience. She just needs a little practice.
[Above IQ]: Sam has an IQ of 148. Because of this, she skipped high school and got into Acme University.
Weapons: To Sam, anything can be a weapon. She likes to change things up.
Other info:
Her eyes are brown.
She is Deaf. She uses sign language to talk most of the time. She also uses a system on her computer and phone to help display any audio.
She thinks she’s more intelligent than others, but she still acts like a child.
She’s part of a student union at her university as the student secretary.
She used to get bullied in middle school because of her deafness. The same thing’s happening at the university, but she hides this from her father.
Growing up in Korea, Sam looked like an ordinary child. But her life had become a total challenge. When she was a baby, she became deaf, causing her to be very restricted in many talents and hobbies.
What made things more unfortunate was that her father was going through tough times because he wasn’t able to pay to live in the country. She and her father were forced to move out of her home at the end of her 6th grade of middle school. Fortunately, her grandparents from America offered them a place to stay.
Nevertheless, Sam showed herself that she could excel in her classes. She became so intelligent that she could get to Acme University at a very young age. Her father was concerned due to her age, as students would tease her that she couldn’t hear or that she was too young, but she was still able to manage.
During a science fair at her university, Sam was in one of the restrooms. However, a meteor crashes into Acmetropolis causing most of the city to be destroyed. Fortunately, she withstood the accident. She didn’t know it yet, but her entire life was about to change for the better.
