Summary
Suguru Kamoshida is the first major boss of Persona 5, and the Ruler of the Castle of Lust.
An Olympic gold medalist in Volleyball, Kamoshida was the nationally-praised and respected P.E. teacher at Shujin Academy. However, the once-hardworking athlete lost himself in the fame and feelings of power caused by his status as a national hero, and soon began exploiting his position at the school as an invaluable Volleyball coach and magnet for renown. His distorted physically and sexually abusive tendencies eventually culminated in the creation of his own Palace.
