| abstract | - Persona Stalker Club was announced on Atlus' hub site for Persona content and premiered in February 28, 2014 through the internet video service [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Niconico]. It was hosted by two self-proclaimed major Persona fans, the voice actress [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Tomomi Isomura] (Isotchi) and freelancer writer Kajita Mafia. Isotchi is the voice actress for Hifumi Togo in Persona 5, a fact that was only revealed few months before the Japanese release of the game; Kajita Mafia had previously been involved with the Persona series through writing an original downloadable quest for the PSP release of Persona 2: Innocent Sin as part of a collaboration with 4Gamer. Both hosts had also appeared together on a similar broadcast following the Persona 5 announcement, which led up to the official release of Persona Stalker Club. During the show, both hosts wear Persona 3 and Persona 4-themed costumes designed by Persona character artist Shigenori Soejima. In some episodes, they were joined by one guest, usually the voice actor of any major character from Persona 3 or Persona 4. They talk about a variety of topics related to Persona series and to lesser extend games which were being published by Atlus during the running of the series such as Shin Megami Tensei IV Final, [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Etrian Odyssey series] and [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Odin Sphere Leifthrasir]. It is interspersed with typical Japanese variety show-style games. The show was renamed to "Persona Stalker Club V" in June 2016, following the announcement of Persona 5's Japanese release date and its 4th trailer. Costumes of the hosts, opening and backdrops are updated to match the style of Persona 5, but the general format of the show remains the same. In Febuary 3, 2017, it been announced the Persona Stalker Club V's final Episode will ended in March 2017.
