* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** In fan circles, the [[Hello, Insert Name Here|officially nameless]] protagonist has acquired the name "Minato Arisato (有里 湊)," the name given to the character in the manga adaptation. The [[Gender Flip]] protagonist in ''Persona 3 Portable'' has been lovingly nicknamed "Minako" by Western fans. She is also known as "Hamuko" (ハム子) by Japanese fans, loosely interpreting the last character of shujinkou (主人公), which means "protagonist", as katakana.
*** The Japanese fandom has nicknamed the protagonist Kitaro, a reference to the similarly [[Peek-a-Bangs|Peek A Banged]] ''[[GeGeGe no Kitaro]]''.
*** Other nicknames for the Female Protagonist are "MShe" and "FeMC" (presumably pronounced "fem-cee").
*** Before the male Velvet Room assistant's name was released, fans referred to Theodore as Malelizabeth, Manlizabeth and Flight Attendant [[Persona 4|Kanji]].
*** Some people like to call Aigis and possibly other Anti-Shadow Weapons "Toaster".

* [[The Red Stapler]]: The distinct clip-on style headphones and sports mp3 player used by both versions of the protagonist are real, they are the Audio Technica ATH-EM7 and Sony Walkman NW-S205F models respectively. Audio Technica would even go on to release a special version of that headphone model with a ''Persona 3'' logo emblazoned on the sides. Unfortunately, at this point in time, however, both of these items have long since been phased out of production, and fans looking to get their hands on the real deal will have to fork up a ''lot'' of money for the look.

* [[Talking to Himself]]:
* [[Talking to Himself]]: In both the [[Akira Ishida|Japaneese]] and [[Yuri Lowenthal|English]] version, the Male Protagonist shares a voice with Pharos and Ryoji {{spoiler|with good reason.}} To a lesser extent, [[Grant George]] and [[Mona Marshall]] both voice memebers of SEES and Strega. (Shinjiro and Jin and Chidori and Ken respectivly)
** In both the [[Akira Ishida|Japaneese]] and [[Yuri Lowenthal|English]] version, the Male Protagonist shares a voice with Pharos and Ryoji {{spoiler|with good reason}}. Averted in the games due to his [[Silent Protagonist]] nature (though it does lead to an amusing running gag where Ryoji finishes the Male Protagonist's sentences, always in a tone that doesn't even match the Male Protagonist's), but played straight in the films. In the English dub of ''Persona Q'', he plays this straight with Yosuke.
* Igor's companion in the Velvet Room is Elizabeth.
** To a lesser extent, [[Grant George]] voices a member of SEES and Strega (Shinjiro and Jin respectively).
