The junpei Faclub...

<img src="http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu99/tomomi-chin/Games/Persona/Persona%203/Junpei3.gif" border="0" /> Junpei Iori is the Main Character's best friend, though the two often find themselves at odds. He plays the class clown in order to mask his insecurities. Junpei's chosen weapon is two-handed sword which he wields like a baseball bat. His Personas excel at physical attacks and party buffs, and can also cast some weak fire magic. Junpei becomes a member of SEES near the beginning of the game. He was found crying in a convenience store during the Dark Hour, and did not realize that he had the potential to call a Persona until Akihiko told him about it. His decision to join SEES is a swift one, and Yukari is dismayed when he immediately moves into their dorm. Initially, Junpei fights because playing hero makes him feel like less of a loser. He uses his place in SEES to prop up his low self-esteem, neglects his classwork, and snaps at the Main Character out of jealousy over his unique Persona abilities. Junpei only becomes more serious after he meets the Strega member Chidori. They fall for each other, and though she continues to fight SEES, feelings for Junpei eventually conflict with her loyalty to Takaya and her fear of death. When Takaya fatally attacks Junpei, Chidori uses her Persona powers to save his life at the cost of her own. After her death Junpei becomes a focused and determined young man. In FES, if certain requirements are met, Chidori was revived. Though her memories were erased, she was determined to find the man of her dream, in which Junpei happily cried. In Persona 3 Portable, videos have shown Junpei to be an S. Link. It's presumed that he'll be of the Magician Arcana, but it's unknown if it's when the player plays as the female protagonist or not. Character designer Shigenori Soejima has stated that Junpei is "the most important character when it comes to getting the player to buy into the story," because of all the major characters, he is one who looks and acts the most like a normal teenager <img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k237/rasshiu/Persona%203/JoonpayFESSIGcopy-2.jpg" border="0" />
