Kasumi Yoshizawa is another Persona 5 Royal exclusive character. She is a freshman at Shujin Academy and has a gymnastic scholarship.
The Faith Confidant of P5R is quite different from the rest. You have to complete a few requirements and there are a few time restraints that make Kasumi Confidant somewhat complex.
For instance, if you don’t get to a certain Rank by a particular day, you can’t progress Kasumi Persona 5 Royal Confidant any further.
But, if you stick to our guide, that won’t happen.
We’ll tell you how to begin her Confidant, when and where to meet her, and just about everything you should know.
So, let’s jump right in.
Persona 5 Royal Kasumi Yoshizawa Confidant – Initiation & Availability
Kasumi Confidant will automatically initiate on May 30 after the field trip ends.
Afterward, you can only meet her at Arcade Street in Kichijoji. And here’s her availability schedule.
| Month | Days Available (only available during the day) |
| June | Wednesdays. |
| July | Thursdays & Sundays. (Occasionally) |
| August | Thursdays & Sundays. (Occasionally) |

| November | Wednesdays. |
| December | Thursdays & Sundays. (Occasionally) |
That said, some of her ranking events are time specific and accessible on specific days. We’ll mention those dates along with the Rank, so you don’t miss out.
Important Note: You need to get Kasumi Confidant Rank 5 by December 22. If you can’t, her Confidant will be locked out.
