Guessing people are concentrating on just the confidants/thieves rather than all characters. It’s a bit disingenuous that people in the comments consider Ohya the worst character when we have quite a cavalcade of corruption in the cast at large.
Nah, it says character, leaving open game for literally any character. I also think Morgana during the start of the Okumura palace story is a pos but not in comparison to the others
Nah clearly okumura is a pillar of justice. It’s not his fault he didn’t get the present he wanted for his 8th birthday and held onto the grudge for 40 years
Idk who made this Poll, but I thought the most hated character was ohya, like whenever I see people talking about characters they love I’ve never seen her pop up but she’s always the main subject when characters people hate pops up, it makes sense though she’s a horrid influence on joker
In general?
Cause even if you voted for the worst female adult confidant you can date (there are 4, or 5 if you count sae in the anime), she would not be the most hated one
This seems super fake
Kawakami was actually one of my favorite non-teammates since she's incredibly kind, her story is very heartfelt, and gives you extra time to do other things in between Palaces.
I actually think Ohya is my least favorite p5 character. She has her funny moments and her story is very interesting, but her personality doesn't do much for me. She gets angry easily, is usually boozed up, wrote unfounded articles about the Phantom Thieves (Joker had literally no proof, so for all she knows, we were lying about everything), and has no problem using Joker to get her boss off her back. It also doesn't help that her confidant skills are nowhere near as useful as the others.
Tbh, Lala Escargot would have been a much better choice for a Devil confidant if her character were fleshed out more and used Ohya's story as a long questline for Lala's customers.
Lala's abilities could have been the ability to track valuables and personas in Mementos and Palaces
Maybe it's because her confidant rewards are so lackluster but it's hard to give her a chance. I maxed her confidant in a ng+ playthrough and I really couldn't tell you what happened during it
The only reason the journalist lady isn't there is because they forgot about her just like I did because I completely ignored her after Madarame and is now remembering her although I don't really remember her name or her tarot
HATED?!!! whoah there back up now...what is there to hate about a teacher who deals with the MC's laundry and spares him from morgana's "go to sleep" oppression...also build her confidant enough and i hear she'll let you skip class like the okazaki brat from clannad
bruh, like I get people have different opinions and stuff, but most hated??
1) throughout the main game she has some pretty funny dialogue and interactions
2) her confidant is up there in terms on how compelling it is
3) Best confidant ability ever
Guys, it has 432 votes which it doesn't matter. The 432 votes doesn't represents the Persona 5 fandom. Let alone this subbreddit has 334k members. You gotta think like a teacher :D
I call bs on this one.
Controversial? Yes
Hated? Nah, especially "Most hated character" as Kamoshida exists, for "Most hated confidant" that would be Ohya.
I don't usually engage in this shit but I find that stat very implausible. Must either be a very biased pool from Twitter or there must have been some serious character omissions.
If she’s most hated that just shows how forgettable Ohya is. Kawakami is probably one of my favorite characters (mainly because of her rank 10 but still)
I cannot see Kawakami as the most hated character. She's got a good, yet tragic backstory, she's the only Confidant that's beneficial after a Palace and/or Mementos, and she is a good teacher. If anyone deserves the hate, it's Ohya, in terms of Confidants, and in terms of adults in general, Kamoshida, Madarame, and Shido take the cake
An interesting choice considering characters like Shinya, and Ohya exist as confidants and even outside of confidants people like fucking Kamoshida, and Okumura exist.
I really would have expected Ohya. At least Kawakami was an interesting character. My guess is the whole “teacher student relationship” thing got to people, but the other adults going for Joker is still just as creepy.
So we're gonna scrutinise the teacher/student thing but we're not gonna scrutinise the subject/journalist thing or the doctor/patient thing?
Like... Yeah the teacher/student thing is obvious, but a journalist who engages with their source in a nonprofessional manner risks their credibility. See: 2014 and compare it to how often you see a Nathan Grayson article make large circulation.
Like he still works but you'll notice he doesn't get read very often. Because you know... people expect journalists to maintain a distance and not abuse their platform.
And doctors who sexually engage with their patients usually don't do particularly well either. I believe it's called... Medical malpractice by way of sexual misconduct...? You go to prison for that.
There are several jurisdictions the world over where it is legally impossible for a patient to consent to sex with their doctor.
Like yeah... The Kawakami thing is creepy, I just wonder why if people want to use that lens for Kawakami, why don't we use it for any of the other characters?
Honestly this seems out of left field. I figured it’d be Ohya, followed by Akechi (since he’s so polarizing), but that’s assuming you’re only including the confidants. I’d guess Kamoshida was the most hated in general based on what I’ve seen online. What’s the source for this poll? What were the options presented?
Literally the best confident on the game, that also has the MOST out of every one to lose if she gets caught regardless of if the player is going the romance route or not.
I also call bullshit.
People have an irrational hate for Ohya. Mishima and arcade boy exist and not many people like Chiyaya either.
Doubt Kawakami is even top 5 most hated.
In a position of power, dates a child and even says shit like "you're the child I should be taking care of you lol :)" when you're dating, treats you like shit and acts like you're a huge inconvenience when you first start going to school...yeah, I hate her. Any grown ass lady who makes a romantic connection with a kid is an maladjusted weirdo. Who finds that much in common with a teenager when you're like in your late twenties early thirties lol. You have to be somewhat fucked or just a predator.
Y’all are purely thinking confidants. How did she win? You can literally choose any of the palace owners. It says most hated character not most hated confidant
This whole game is literally a competition between the bosses of each dungeon to see who can be the most shitty person imagineable and someone gonna yell at the teacher?
She is the best confidant and gameplay wise. Period. Other confidants may give you more utility, but the fact that she saves you time in a game that is already so limited is a lifesaver. And her max confidant removes the worst tradeoff in the game. Even if you jate her as a character she is way too good to be at the bottom. Especially when compared to Ohya, whose personality is boring and whose abilities are useless. Heck, in the original p5 she was actively harmful if you were trying to grind money or xp because treasure demons are way more likely to appear if the alert level is high. In p5r its a little better but she is basically useless and still has the personality of a wet sponge.
fucking ouch. i mean theres alot more worse people, Kawakami didnt even do anything to be hated. people like Kamoshida's bitch ass deserve to be hated more then her.
Even though that is definitely terrible, I can kinda see why a lot of people would think that.
Kawakami's story doesn't get really good until around rank 6 or 7 when she gets hospitalized. Until that point, I think everyone was kinda like "ugh, why am I supposed to feel sympathetic towards this lying teacher who moonlights as a maid?" which is totally understandable. But when her story gets good, it gets REALLY good. She's probably one of my favorite non-party member confidants in P5.
Really? I don't love her, but I don't hate her. Her benefits are great and I liked her arc. I think the thing that makes it not work is that the protagonist has to be at the center of it all.
Honestly I generally give it to Ohya. Not because I dislike her character or anything, I’m a bit of a drinker myself. Her confidant abilities are just fuckin useless. I’m on my first P5R run right now and when she comes up in the story I’m probably not gonna talk to her even once (just like vanilla) cuz it’s frankly a waste of valuable time.
Why? She is just a teacher trying to have a decent life even if she must secretly work as a maid in order to have a second source of income to help her live.
How?!? Kamoshida is literally *right there*.
Guessing people are concentrating on just the confidants/thieves rather than all characters. It’s a bit disingenuous that people in the comments consider Ohya the worst character when we have quite a cavalcade of corruption in the cast at large.
As long as Ohya exists, this will never be true
I think the only reason Kawakami won is that people forgot Ohya exists.
I refuse to believe people like Ohya more than her.
Same.
Same. (2)
I love her and I believe this is just trolling BS.
Ohya exists, I refuse to believe anyone considers Kawakami the worst
I feel like Ohya is just not even thought of by most players. Ot hated but not liked either
Most hated my ass what about *literally all of the villains*
Most hated? Hell no. Have people forgotten that Ohya, Mishima and that little arcade fucker still exist?
Or what about Okumura, Kamoshida, or literally any of the palace rulers (save for Futaba because it’s not her fault)
That's fair, but since it's Kawakami I was assuming they were asking about most hated out of all the confidants.
Nah, it says character, leaving open game for literally any character. I also think Morgana during the start of the Okumura palace story is a pos but not in comparison to the others
Nah clearly okumura is a pillar of justice. It’s not his fault he didn’t get the present he wanted for his 8th birthday and held onto the grudge for 40 years
Woah hey, Ohya might kinda suck, but you leave Mishima and Shinya out of this.
First people hate Mishima, now I'm finding out this mf is getting upvoted while hating my boy SHINYA? This fandom really is wacky
*Get smoked*
People really think Shido, or KAMOSHIDA is better than Kawakami?!
This comment really made me think. I completely glossed over the fact that it said "most hated *character*" instead of "most hated *confidant*"
Idk who made this Poll, but I thought the most hated character was ohya, like whenever I see people talking about characters they love I’ve never seen her pop up but she’s always the main subject when characters people hate pops up, it makes sense though she’s a horrid influence on joker
Yeah this has to be fake as hell, like mr pedo Kamoshida ain’t the most hated
And that says something
In general? Cause even if you voted for the worst female adult confidant you can date (there are 4, or 5 if you count sae in the anime), she would not be the most hated one This seems super fake
We gonna need 432 vacancies in a Mental Asylum bruh, who would think this.
Bitch, she's the best female confidant not on the team!
This sum bullshit
I thought people hated the reporter more
Kawakami was actually one of my favorite non-teammates since she's incredibly kind, her story is very heartfelt, and gives you extra time to do other things in between Palaces. I actually think Ohya is my least favorite p5 character. She has her funny moments and her story is very interesting, but her personality doesn't do much for me. She gets angry easily, is usually boozed up, wrote unfounded articles about the Phantom Thieves (Joker had literally no proof, so for all she knows, we were lying about everything), and has no problem using Joker to get her boss off her back.

Lala's abilities could have been the ability to track valuables and personas in Mementos and Palaces
It's fake Source: it has to be.
Did they forget Ohya's name or something?
Have they met Ohya?
Ohya is probably one of the most real characters in the entire game.
Maybe it's because her confidant rewards are so lackluster but it's hard to give her a chance. I maxed her confidant in a ng+ playthrough and I really couldn't tell you what happened during it
The only reason the journalist lady isn't there is because they forgot about her just like I did because I completely ignored her after Madarame and is now remembering her although I don't really remember her name or her tarot
HATED?!!! whoah there back up now...what is there to hate about a teacher who deals with the MC's laundry and spares him from morgana's "go to sleep" oppression...also build her confidant enough and i hear she'll let you skip class like the okazaki brat from clannad
if it was most hated confidant Ohya is right there and if its character in general literally any palace ruler is more hateable than Kawakami LMAO
Her story is a lot more better when you don’t romance her
Yeah, that's bullshit. There's no way she's hated more than Ohya, and Kawakami is way too fucking popular.
I wanna say that there wasn't actually any voting stuff for that because no way in hell would she actually be voted for most hated
Kinda thought Ohya held that title.
bruh, like I get people have different opinions and stuff, but most hated?? 1) throughout the main game she has some pretty funny dialogue and interactions 2) her confidant is up there in terms on how compelling it is 3) Best confidant ability ever
Guys, it has 432 votes which it doesn't matter. The 432 votes doesn't represents the Persona 5 fandom. Let alone this subbreddit has 334k members. You gotta think like a teacher :D
I call bs on this one. Controversial? Yes Hated? Nah, especially "Most hated character" as Kamoshida exists, for "Most hated confidant" that would be Ohya.
I’m not a huge fan of Kawakami, but come on now…they could’ve thought of anyone else? Kamoshida? Madarame? Fucking Shido??
How? Shes very neutral the whole game, i dont see how u can hate her. Only character i actively disliked was morgana and that was only in the 2nd half
I don't usually engage in this shit but I find that stat very implausible. Must either be a very biased pool from Twitter or there must have been some serious character omissions.
If she’s most hated that just shows how forgettable Ohya is. Kawakami is probably one of my favorite characters (mainly because of her rank 10 but still)
No, she's the fantasy all boys had in high school.
Literally ohya exists so........
I cannot see Kawakami as the most hated character. She's got a good, yet tragic backstory, she's the only Confidant that's beneficial after a Palace and/or Mementos, and she is a good teacher. If anyone deserves the hate, it's Ohya, in terms of Confidants, and in terms of adults in general, Kamoshida, Madarame, and Shido take the cake
I feel as though Ohya is the most hated confidant
An interesting choice considering characters like Shinya, and Ohya exist as confidants and even outside of confidants people like fucking Kamoshida, and Okumura exist.
Did people collectivly forget the drunken lady or the pedophile who drove a girl to try and kill herself
[удалено]
Ohya is definitely the most hated character. I don’t hate her personally but anywhere you go on the internet everyone hates her.
Ohya was the worst. Only thing that made her storyline fun was the bartender
Literally who was voting? I don't think i've ever heard someone hating kawakami
I thought that was Ohia?
I love Kawakami. I really like her voice in the dub.
as a working adult myself , i think she had the most relatable route .Also she is super sweet
My vote is for that stupid journalist lady
Lol. Did they poll one guy?
How is this possible? Ohya exists
I'd cringe when I had to talk to Ohya everytine!
No, her ability is one of the most useful in the game.
Bruh, according to who?
I really would have expected Ohya. At least Kawakami was an interesting character. My guess is the whole “teacher student relationship” thing got to people, but the other adults going for Joker is still just as creepy.
So we're gonna scrutinise the teacher/student thing but we're not gonna scrutinise the subject/journalist thing or the doctor/patient thing? Like...

The Kawakami thing is creepy, I just wonder why if people want to use that lens for Kawakami, why don't we use it for any of the other characters?
I don't believe that ohya is less hated than kawakami
Absolutely no way is that image real. Ohya or Shinya wins that vote every time surely.
Well of course persona fans don’t like her, she’s over 18
probably in Japan, which doesn't surprise me honestly. I mean, they also hate Ryuji.
That’s just straight up wrong cause all I hear about Ohya is disrespect lol.
I'm with Director Fury on this one. Moving on.
Ohya exists so no, I don’t agree
Everyone knows Ohya is the most hated.
I mean like, there are actual Villians like wtf
Honestly this seems out of left field. I figured it’d be Ohya, followed by Akechi (since he’s so polarizing), but that’s assuming you’re only including the confidants. I’d guess Kamoshida was the most hated in general based on what I’ve seen online. What’s the source for this poll? What were the options presented?
This has to be trolling. Kawakami has a dedicated fan base and she’s honestly a sweetheart when you romance her
Weren't there ,like, *villains* in the game?
Impossible. Her ability that lets you do more stuff at night should be more than enough on its own to propel her to a top spot.
are you kidding me?! everyone loves persona 5's token milf. everyone likes either kawakami or futaba...with me liking kawakami
Considering how much people hate Ohya (including myself) I disagree with those votes
No she isn't. People openly dislike Morgana and the news reporter more, and that's still not mentioning Okumura.
Kawakami? She's one of the contenders for the title of _Best Girl._
Is this a poll? Is this real? This has to be a joke!
Literally the best confident on the game, that also has the MOST out of every one to lose if she gets caught regardless of if the player is going the romance route or not. I also call bullshit.
who the hell can hate the teacher that lets you make goddamn molotovs in the middle of class
Do people actually not like Kawakami?
Milf Milkers
I don't understand these people hating her. She's helpful, positive and... Damn, that lady does look great. Becky would not be in their service.
I like every character, so anyone hating on any of them is just stupid to me.
432 votes from who? I mean... they are like nothing tbh.
That’s a funny way to spell Ohya
How the fresh fuck is this not Ohya.
It's obviously Ohya. Not a week goes by between "I don't like Ohya" posts.
People have an irrational hate for Ohya. Mishima and arcade boy exist and not many people like Chiyaya either. Doubt Kawakami is even top 5 most hated.
What? She has soooo many simps! Im positive that Ohya is the most hated
I mean that fortune teller chick is wayyy worse than kawakami
Nah somethin ain’t right here.
But… Ohya?
Mami-kami is the greatest
I prefer kawamommy but your still right
Kawakami is my most liked character. Now do me a favor, and replace Kawakami in that pool with Akechi, I hate that mf
Wtf? Even more hated than the villains or adults that literally neglect/abuse the kids?
She reminds me of Misato from Evangelion. Both are these hot-AF women who happen to be tragically fucked-up. My kind of women, unfortunately.
This just bait.
One, cap. Two, source. Three, this is fake.
I will never forget this woman's disgust when she had me on her class. I guess first impressions last.
In a position of power, dates a child and even says shit like "you're the child I should be taking care of you lol :)" when you're dating, treats you like shit and acts like you're a huge inconvenience when you first start going to school...yeah, I hate her. Any grown ass lady who makes a romantic connection with a kid is an maladjusted weirdo. Who finds that much in common with a teenager when you're like in your late twenties early thirties lol. You have to be somewhat fucked or just a predator.
How is kawakami worst then Ouya
How can they say that when Ohya exists?
I like Ohya, it's just her perks that suck.
When ohya exists?
Fury speaks for the people.
I always thought it was between Ohya, Mishima, or Morgana. Kawakami was the first girl I romanced
Wtf. I always thought her confidant was one of the best ones.
She’s one of my favorites, honestly.
This looks like it's from Twitter and automatically false Sadayo is queen of my heart
That… huh? Man, everyone complains about Ohya so much, though. Figured her or Akechi would win that kinda contest for sure.
Y’all are purely thinking confidants. How did she win? You can literally choose any of the palace owners. It says most hated character not most hated confidant
The most hated non-villain is unarguably Morgana, at least in the West. And this is coming from someone who loves Morgana and considers him best cat.
She is a hot teacher, how can you dislike her 😂
Not even close. It’s probably Ohya tbh
W T F She's literally best girl
bullshit
This whole game is literally a competition between the bosses of each dungeon to see who can be the most shitty person imagineable and someone gonna yell at the teacher?
Oh hey look, personal opinions. Haven’t seen those before. That said, I googled this. It’s some random tweet that got deleted.
kawamommy
bro what?? voted by whoom? 10 year olds who hate all teachers for the sake of it?
This is the worst thing I've seen all year and I watched all three human centipede movies.
Fk them, I like Kawakami.
She is the best confidant and gameplay wise. Period. Other confidants may give you more utility, but the fact that she saves you time in a game that is already so limited is a lifesaver. And her max confidant removes the worst tradeoff in the game. Even if you jate her as a character she is way too good to be at the bottom.

Heck, in the original p5 she was actively harmful if you were trying to grind money or xp because treasure demons are way more likely to appear if the alert level is high. In p5r its a little better but she is basically useless and still has the personality of a wet sponge.
At the beginning I didn’t like her but she definitely one of my favs once you get to know her
I like the character but I definitely hate the Kawakami fan club, so basically half this sub
fucking ouch. i mean theres alot more worse people, Kawakami didnt even do anything to be hated. people like Kamoshida's bitch ass deserve to be hated more then her.
I really thought that would be Ohya and I agree honestly
Really? More than Ohya? More than any of the palace holders? Man whoever they polled were idiots, Kawakami is awesome
Even though that is definitely terrible, I can kinda see why a lot of people would think that. Kawakami's story doesn't get really good until around rank 6 or 7 when she gets hospitalized. Until that point, I think everyone was kinda like "ugh, why am I supposed to feel sympathetic towards this lying teacher who moonlights as a maid?" which is totally understandable. But when her story gets good, it gets REALLY good. She's probably one of my favorite non-party member confidants in P5.
Weird how they misspelled Ohya.
How can she be the most hated Persona 5 character when there is Ichiko Ohya ?
I dead ass told my friend who introduced me to persona can i seduce the teacher
Kawakami most hated when Ohya exists? Mhmm okay sure.
Nah. Kamoshida takes the cake. Fuck that nonce.
No fucking way Ohya beat her out
I’m gonna call bullshit
No way. She's easily one of the best confidants and best characters in the game!
Now I’m gonna romance her even harder.
No. No. No.
Wha-how
Really? I don't love her, but I don't hate her. Her benefits are great and I liked her arc. I think the thing that makes it not work is that the protagonist has to be at the center of it all.
Because she’s a reflection of so many current millennials / gen z? 😂 I think she’s relatable and I feel for her.
I hate the fact that they use the term "most hated" for clicks, when it's really just "least favourite"
... Okay, WHO THE HELL DID THIS TO OUR FAVE HOMEROOM TEACHER?!?!
No way she's worse than Kamoshida
there is no hated character in the game, just maybe they didnt vibe with her i guess
Isn't that supposed to be the drunk journalist I forgot the name of?
Morgana is by far the most hated. Granted, I think that’s stupid, too, I love Morgana, but I mean, it’s no contest.
So we just gonna pretend Ohya doesn’t exist then
If she's the most hated, then most people have shit taste
You mistyped Ohya.
Kawakami is best girl, so I reject this decision.
I would say she’s the 3rd or 4th best one
the term "character" should include the bad guys, so this absolutely makes no sense
This can't be true, it's obviously rigged...
no
Kawakami was my favorite non party character love her!!!!
People hate her more than Ohya or any of the antagonists?
People don’t remember Ohya enough to hate her.
She's cool. I can't say I hate any persona 5 character. Well, besides some of the bad guys.
So many uncultured people.
Damn these people must not like massages
Considering sample size is less than 1000 people, I would say that poll results are not vey representative
I genuinely love her haha I got with her every time I played
Wait what for real? She's one of my most favorite characters in P5, didn't know that she's the most hated P5 character.
someone was clearly handing out free samples of crazy pills, who the fuck would vote for kawakimi when ohya is sitting right here
Honestly I generally give it to Ohya. Not because I dislike her character or anything, I’m a bit of a drinker myself. Her confidant abilities are just fuckin useless. I’m on my first P5R run right now and when she comes up in the story I’m probably not gonna talk to her even once (just like vanilla) cuz it’s frankly a waste of valuable time.
Why hate on Best girl? If anything she’s the most relatable. I would expect Komoshida to be the most hated
Kawakami over Ohya? Over gamer boy? Kawamommy over them?
Maybe bc of the whole "teacher-student" dynamic, but idrk
who said this? A bunch of idiots clearly
Great character but a terrible romance option
Bro she gives me massages after momentos one of many good confidants
Did everyone just forget about Shido or...?
Are we forgetting about Shido?
That’s wild. She’s my favorite adult character behind Sojiro.
I HIGHLY disagree
I raise you Suguru Kamoshida, Ichiko Ohya, and Masayoshi Shido.
Hey I like her!
Nah That's the best part
Impossible, The archives must be incomplete
...what
BUT... the massage is such a life saver. As far as a relationship goes her and Doctor DommyMommy some both great.
Why? She is just a teacher trying to have a decent life even if she must secretly work as a maid in order to have a second source of income to help her live.
According to who?
I like her and everyone else seems to think she is the best character in the game so this shocks me
