Ryuji Sakamoto (坂本 竜司, Sakamoto Ryūji) is a fictional character in the 2016 video game Persona 5. He is one of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and one of the first to join the group after awakening to his Persona, Captain Kidd, adopting the Phantom Thief nickname Skull. He is a bullied student, a victim of physical abuse by one of the game's antagonists, Suguru Kamoshida. He joins with the protagonist, Joker, after they both found themselves entering another world and eventually gain powers to fight against corrupt people and abusers, including Kamoshida. His Persona eventually transforms into the Persona Seiten Taisei. He is portrayed by Mamoru Miyano in Japanese and Max Mittelman in English.
Since his role in Persona 5, he has received generally mixed reception, regarded as one of the less popular characters in the game and receiving hate from some fans of the game, despite others finding it surprising that he ranked so low. His treatment as comic relief, particularly through comic violence, has also been criticized, with writer Kenneth Shepard suggesting that the fact that he was a victim of abuse that is taken seriously in the story is undercut when he is so often the victim of such comic violence.
