Goro Akechi is a playable character from Persona 5. He is a public celebrity, touted by his fans and the media as the second coming of the detective prince (after the first appeared in Persona 4), and is investigating the mysterious Phantom Thieves of Hearts case sensationalizing Japan.
During the course of the story, Akechi would condemn the Phantom Thieves' actions. He temporarily cooperates with them for professional reasons, using the codename Crow. He also acts as the protagonist's rival. His past having produced inherent feelings of hatred that would become a stigma for him, Akechi tries to perfect himself to be acceptable to others.
In Persona 5 Royal, he acts as the deuteragonist of the new themes and events of the story. He would let go of his desire to be acknowledged for the sake of himself, no matter who he is.
