Editing Ann Takamaki (Persona 5)

Ann Takamaki (高巻 杏, Takamaki An, Anne Takamaki in the Japanese version) is a character in the 2016 video game Persona 5. She is a Japanese teenage girl and a second-year student at the fictional Shujin Academy. She is also one of the founding members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, a group formed with the intention of stopping wrongdoers from hurting others. She helps establish this group in part to get revenge on one of her teachers, Suguru Kamoshida, who had been sexually harassing her and drove her friend to attempt suicide. Takamaki gets supernatural powers while in a world called the Metaverse, powers which come from her Persona, Carmen, motivated by her anger over Kamoshida. She has received mixed reception since her debut. She has been assessed by some critics as being an example of sexual objectification.

Ann also appears in the fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where she serves as a collectible, a part of Joker's ultimate attack, and as a background character on Joker's stage.
