Persona 4

The story of AtlusPlayStation 2 console role-playing game Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is centered around a group of high-school students dedicated to capturing the culprit responsible for the murders and kidnappings that happened in their small town of Inaba. The game's timeline begins on April 11, 2011, which places the events of the game at about twelve months after the end of Persona 3 FES, which ended on April 1, 2010. Shigenori Soejima acted as the art director for the game, and was responsible for designing the game's characters. The general approach to designing the characters, and ultimately the setting of the game was by drawing from the memory and interpretation of the development staff about a "rural, countryside" setting.
There are eight player characters that form a self-made investigation team trying to solve the murders in the town of Inaba. The main protagonist is a high-school student who moved into the town from the city. He is met by Yosuke Hanamura, the son of the local department store manager; Chie Satonaka, an energetic girl with a strong interest in martial arts; Yukiko Amagi, a calm and refined girl who helps out at her family's inn; Kanji Tatsumi, a first-year student who was known as a notorious punk; Teddie, a mysterious figure in a bear costume; Rise Kujikawa, a former teen idol, and Naoto Shirogane, a well-known junior detective.Persona 4 Opening
