Summary
Ichiryusai Madarame is the second major boss of Persona 5, and the Ruler of the Museum of Vanity.
A world-renowned artist, famous for the variety of his art styles, Madarame was once an art teacher and an honest hardworking artist. However, some years after taking in the young Yusuke Kitagawa, he grew lost in his rapidly growing fame and began scamming art collectors with fraudulent copies of Yusuke's mother's masterpiece. Soon, he began taking his students' works as his own, using his clout to dismiss their attempts to expose his acts of plagiarism. His distorted desire to maintain and indulge in his fame and glory eventually culminated in the creation of his own Palace.
