——What points did you focus on expressing with this cosplay?

Is: Takemi-sensei is a downer-type older sister figure (a cool, slightly gloomy or detached personality), so I was very conscious of that, especially with the makeup. I used dark eyeshadow and made sure not to apply blush too heavily.

——What was your introduction to the PERSONA series, and what do you find appealing about PERSONA 5​?

Is: I first learned about the PERSONA series by chance when I watched the PERSONA 4 anime around the time I was in junior high school. I started with the PERSONA 5 game directly, and the story, the character visuals, the world-building, the BGM, the battle system—everything about it is just so cool! I was trembling when I first played it.

——Could you tell us about any future cosplay plans you have?

Is: I want to continue adding more characters from the PERSONA series to my cosplay repertoire! Also, when I was checking out the corporate booths at TGS this time, I was incredibly impressed by how beautiful the official cosplayers at the Arknights: Endfield booth were. I’ve always been a huge fan of Arknights, so I hope to cosplay many characters from that series in 2026!

——Thank you very much!

Is skillfully captured the peculiar, cool vibe of Tae Takemi. With her enthusiasm for both PERSONA and Arknights cosplay, we eagerly await the next character she unveils.
