* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: With the exception of Principal Kobayakawa, Kamoshida, Kawakami and Maruki, the rest of the staff at Shujin are complete opposites to the staff at [[VideoGame/Persona3 Gekkoukan]] or [[VideoGame/Persona4 Yasogami]]. They are more straight-laced, drawn conventionally, and don't any have "colorful" personalities or quirks. However, unlike the aforementioned teachers, all of them have big head portraits.

* HiddenDepths: A lot of Chouno's over-ambition in pressuring Kawakami and the other teachers into being more attentive at work and involved in their students' lives stems from her guilt over everything that went down with Kamoshida. She is also one of the nicer teachers to Joker.

* TotallyRadical: He attempts to use "hip" slang that's ridiculously out of date a few times in class. Morgana comments that the reason nobody corrects him is probably because he's obviously trying so hard that nobody has the heart to tell him how wrong he's getting it.

* TotallyRadical: Wouldn't be a ''Persona'' game without such a teacher, now would it?

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Good job!" Just about any time the Phantom Thieves talk to him, he'll say this line somewhere, as he's heard that it's a nice phrase that humans say to each other. He'll either say, "Hey, mister!" or "Doing good?" when you encounter him in Mementos, as well.

* NerfArm: All of his attacks as a bonus boss are silly and cartoony looking. They're still incredibly dangerous.

* PrecociousCrush: If his mental age matches his physical appearance, then he has a particular attraction to Ann, whom he calls "pretty lady" upon their first meeting. (A gruesome fact: the titular Theatre/Carmen was killed by a man named Jose.) [[CrazyJealousGuy Morgana]] takes offense to this.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: With his mysterious origins and only interacting in his side quest/Thieves Den, Jose doesn't play a huge role in ''Royal'' compared to others, though he also allowed the Thieves to learn about Showtimes that later continued in ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers''. However, the biggest impact he has is that [[spoiler:he indirectly saved their lives, as the star he gave them allowed Morgana to transform into the Monacopter that allowed them to escape when Mementos started collapsing.]]

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of ThePollyanna. Much like [[VideoGame/Persona2 Maya Amano]] and the [[VideoGame/Persona3 [=P3P=] Female Protagonist]], Kasumi is an idealistic girl who always tries to look at the positive side of things. Unlike them, however, Kasumi's poor communication skills and inability to read others' feelings prevented her from realizing that positivity is not always the right thing in certain situations, and it only caused more and more problems for her sister. Her attempts to cheer her sister up only ended up driving Sumire deeper into her insecurities, which snowballed into the accident that killed Kasumi.

Yep, they're back. In DLC for ''[=P5R=]'', the {{Player Character}}s of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' are available as {{Superboss}}es fought through the new Challenge Mode.
