Japanese History in Persona 4

I'm only 2-3 hours into Persona 4, and I'm hooked. My interest in the mythology of the personas started in Persona 3, when I began to recognize a lot of names from myths and legends of other religions, world literature, and world mythologies. I decided in Persona 4, I'd be looking more into the backgrounds of the historical figures the personas are named after and how they relate to the characters who use them.

Main character- Izanagi
