Yusuke Kitagawa is one of the main characters and party members of
Persona 5. Throughout the game, he is socially unaware at some points regarding women and flirting, so many have read him to be
gay or
asexual. Adding onto readings that he may be interested in men, some have read him to be bisexual because of
this scene in a
Persona 5 spin-off,
Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, where he says that he has no “type” of woman because all women are his type.
There is also a scene (found
here from 13:43 to 18:20) in
Persona 5 where the player character goes with Yusuke to a lake often visited by couples and
the two of them are mistaken for a gay couple.
