Last year, there was a P5R fanbook called Persona 5: Mementos Reports that was released in March 2021. In this fanbook, the P5 devs answered some interview questions. Some of the questions they answered are related to Goro Akechi.
So, this post is just going to highlight the Goro-related questions that the devs answered!
This image of Goro is also from the fanbook:
So Goro doesn’t keep a gun in his case lol. He usually puts school supplies, water, snacks, sweets, and cosmetics in there. Haha, I can imagine Goro applying cosmetics in the public bathrooms all the time to stay pretty.
It turns out that Goro chooses to wear argyle not because he likes it. He purposely did it for his Detective Prince image. He knows that Naoto wears argyle somehow and got inspiration from that.
Goro lives in a condo. A condo is like an apartment BUT you pay mortgage for it and own the property. So Goro owns a condo space at this young age?
I doubt that he bought it. According to Japanese law, you are not allowed to buy a home until you are 20. So I bet Shido bought and owned that condo space for Goro to live in as part of their deal.
Also… Goro only keeps a minimum amount of furniture in his condo. LOL I can only think of that “Male living space” meme. I like to joke that Goro’s condo look something like this:
A bike designed for beginners? So Goro is not advanced at cycling yet huh? xD
So Goro can handle spicy food to an average extent. Due to his competitive nature, he probably did knew that he was going to eat the red takoyaki and tried to be a show off in front of the PTs lol
Or maybe he was trying to impress his crush *coughs* Joker *coughs* but failed lol
Oh that’s interesting. The struggles of being left-handed
OKAY GUYS ENOUGH OF THE “WHICH PERSONA COMES FIRST?” THEORIES!
The devs said that Akechi awakened both of his Personas at the SAME TIME. Damn that must have been REALLY painful. Probably the most painful awakening of them all. He must have felt his head splitting in two. Poor Goro, he can’t catch a break in his life.

And that’s all of the Goro-related questions that the devs answered in that fanbook! Now you can go wild with this canon information lol.
