Katsuya Suou Husbando

"A detective with the Konan PD and Tatsuya's older brother. He's an intelligent man of action with a grudge against arsonists." —His introduction, Persona 2: Innocent Sin Katsuya Suou is Tatsuya Suou's older brother, a by-the-books sergeant from the Kounan Police Department who followed in his father's footsteps to become a cop. Katsuya is a detective specializing in investigating arsons. However, Katsuya actually wanted to become a pastry chef, but dropped his dream to become a police officer, driven to clear his father's name after he was disgraced while investigating Tatsuya Sudou's arsons. While he appears strict and harsh to Tatsuya, he does care for him, warning him to find shelter when things begin to get out of hand. "Young Detective of the Konan PD. His current rank is Sergeant. He has a little brother named Tatsuya." —His introduction, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment "Sergeant of the Homicide Division with a strong sense of justice." Unlike in Innocent Sin, where he was an arson detective, Katsuya is a homicide detective assigned to investigate the JOKER killings. He awakens to his Persona during the incident at Seven Sisters High School, having first obtained it after playing the Persona game with Tatsuya in the past. He uses his standard-issue semi-automatic pistol to defend himself, and his Persona grants him fire magic. Katsuya is a man in his mid-20's with tan skin and brown hair a few shades lighter than his brother's, which he wears in a forehead-sweeping cut with long sideburns. His face is also rather angular, with a defined jawline and prominent cheekbones in the original art, although this is less apparent in the updated art. Overall, his style evokes the image of a fashionable man. He wears a tailored gray suit with a peak-lapeled jacket, a burgundy dress shirt and gray tie (black in Innocent Sin) with black oxfords; he is never pictured without his rectangular, silver-rimmed sunglasses with red lenses. As a police officer, he carries his gun in a holster on his hip. In Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Katsuya is depicted by Tatsuya as a harsh, perfectionist authority figure who often fails to understand him in any way. This behavior has been somewhat toned down in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, due to the perspective changing from Tatsuya's point of view to Maya's own. In Eternal Punishment, he has a strong sense of justice and upholds the law whenever and wherever he can. Although he's straitlaced, Katsuya often drops his guard around Maya Amano (with whom he somewhat developed feelings for), and gets into constant verbal quips with a later ally, Baofu. His awakening to Helios drives him to slowly appreciate cats, despite the fact that he is allergic to them.
