As a public speaker and a politician who is seen stirring hearts on thestreets of Shibuya, Yoshida can be mistaken for a typical NPC, even though there is a treasure trove of money-making and skill perk potential within this Confidant.

Toranosuke Yoshida Overview
Yoshida’s story revolves around him attempting to convince others to take Japan’s affairs seriously.
But he is unable to gain much interest due to his past reputation as an inept politician after having made several irresponsible mistakes during his role as a Diet Member in the past and having been falsely charged.
While discouraged, he doesn’t give up and continues giving speeches with your assistance.
you’re able to begin Yoshida’s Confdiant as early as May 10th. On May 6th, yourboss and caretaker Sojiro Sakuraallows you to leave Yongen-Jaya in the late evening.

Yoshida will text you at the start of November warning you that he will be permanently unavailable after the 17th of the month if his Confidant has not already been completed. The last day that you have to meet with him is November 13th, making that the effective cutoff point for your ability to rank up his Social Link. If you are not able to max out the Sun Arcana before his deadline, Yoshida’s confidant will stay as it was when you last met with him.
At the conclusion of his Confidant, Yoshida reveals that he knows that you are actually a Phantom Thief, and discovered that you weren’t truly interested in politics through your speech and mannerisms.
He keeps it a secret, knowing of your good deeds and ability to change one’s heart.
