Riko is a third-year student at Kokatsu Academy, and the president of the discipline committee. Her decent behavior, outstanding acedamic performances and mature, earnest personality have brought her great popularity and admiration among many students and teachers.

Also known as Wind (Code Name) School Kokatsu Academy Occupation Student Date of Birth 2008 Age: 18 Ranged Weapon Parasol Her family owns UMETANE, the top enterprise specializing in processing and manufacturing of plum products. She is a calm, reliable comrade who can make the right judgement under any situations and give her teammates clear guidance of what they should do. She is also an old friend of Motoha Arai and Tomoko Noge, having known the two since they were kids. In the Prologue, Riko encounters the protagonist near the stairs when he is having trouble asking a group of chatting female students that are standing on his way to move. Riko helps him and encourages him to hold his will firmly. Later in Chapter 1, Riko encounters the protagonist and Motoha at the aisle. She feels that something is different with the protagonist, who has already awakened his Persona at that time. At the beginning of Chapter 3, Riko sees the protagonist and Motoha sheltering from the rain on her way to school by car, and offers them a ride. She gets to know the protagonist's name, and the protagonist gets to know about her family background from Motoha later. Following the new student management policy imposed by Kei Akashi, Riko is assigned as the monitor and mediator of affairs and conflicts of students. Yamanashi the vice principal also orders her to do his paperwork tasks. Though unclear about Akashi's true intention, she accepts both sides' requests to earn reviews from the faculty. Later, she encouters the protagonist, Motoha and Tomoko after being called to settle a dispute caused by two female students taking videos about drinks or food they are trying out. She reveals to the three that she doesn't believe in relationships built upon love or friendship, but still feels relieved to see Motoha and Tomoko are willing to be on her side.

Prompt

When Kumi Katayama asks Riko if she is forcing herself to do these tasks out of consideration, Riko questions back why she cares about herself so much in an unfriendly way. Then Akashi suddenly appears and starts a quarrel with Katayama, since Katayama was already forbidden to get close to students after class, agitating her to burst out. Right at this time, Yamanashi and the two female students witness Katayama acting violently, which later leads to her suspension from work and mental breakdown. Riko starts doubting if this is Akashi's plan to set up Katayama, and decides to investigate him. Riko invites the protagonist, Motoha and Shun to Kichijoji to share their thoughts about the recent incidents surrounding Katayama and Akashi. When the three arrive Kichijoji, they see Riko introducing the ongoing promotion of UMETANE in a TV show. After getting changed, Riko meets the three at a local coffee shop to have their discussion. Riko shares to the three that Akashi could be the one behind Katayama's suspension and mental breakdown, as Akashi used to work as a consultant for many companies with rumors saying he has built his success by setting up those who objected his proposals. After the talk, the four agree to cooperate and come up with a plan to investigate Akashi. Ruferu also gives opinions about their cooperation and eventually agrees, but Riko somehow senses him. When Riko and Akashi are working in the student counselling room, Motoha comes in and asks Akashi out to give opinions about the school as distraction. When Akashi is away, the protagonist and Shun guard the door, and Riko tries accessing Akashi's computer for information. While risking being caught, the four eventually manage to pull out their plan with Riko finding the password to unlock the computer and obtaining data about Katayama in it. Later, the four gather again at the coffee shop in Kichijoji to share their findings.
