Yosuke Hanamura is one of the main characters and teammates of Persona 4. Players dug up unused English-dub and Japanese voice clips from the game’s disc to find what seems to be a confessional quote from Yosuke towards Yu, saying, “I like you” or “suki da” in Japanese. Fans have taken this to mean that Yosuke may have originally been a possible love interest for the player character, in addition to readings of his social link as intentionally being romantic in nature.
