So, the character's development is based around him trying to be as tough and masculine, because he thinks that is what his father meant. However, in reality, he greatly enjoys some very "feminine" things, such as knitting and his sexuality itself is in question. It leads to some great lessons about accepting yourself for who you really are.(12-21-2016, 12:56 PM)CosmykTheDolfyn Wrote: Kanji. The ambiguity isn't the defining characteristic of Kanji, but adds greatly to the depth of the character.
So basically, you are saying that the only thing that people should care about this Kanji guy is his sexual orientation?
His potential orientation simply adds a layer to that puzzle, but it is never the main focus of the character. In fact, his true orientation is left a mystery, and the player is left to decide. This has led to a lot of debate among Persona 4 fans as to the true nature of Kanji.
He's a really beautifully done character, all in all.
