Romance is a huge draw for JRPG fans in Persona 5 Royal, and with the option to court one of 10 ladies, players have no shortage of choices. The Shogi genius Hifumi Togo is one of Joker's options; spending time with her is excellent, but grabbing a gift for the time they have together will boost her appreciation for Joker. Check out these ten items all Hifumi fans need to find to gain her affection.
10 Dragon Sword Keychain
Grabbing a present for Joker's favorite lady in Persona 5 Royal doesn't have to be expensive. For Hifumi, some of the most practical gifts are the cheapest. Those interested in getting a cost-effective item to boost their standing with this professional Shogi player can grab the Dragon Sword Keychain. This costly little accessory will only run Joker 500 yen. Offering 2 Social Points as a reward, it's well worth the price point. Joker can purchase it in the Otaku Goods Shop in Akihabara.
9 Custard Cake
Not every gift choice has to be sentimental; Joker can grab a tasty treat for his favorite professional Shogi player too. One item to impress Hifumi is the Custard Cake. This sweet dessert, while more expensive than the Dragon Key Chain, is still relatively cheap. Joker can get his hands on this snack for just 1500 yen, which is nothing for the Phantom Thieves leader. Head over to the Supermarket in Shibuya to procure this item and net 2 Social Points when giving it to Hifumi.
8 Black Mug
For a lady who spends much of her time thinking, a refreshing beverage is a great way to keep her focused on Shogi. Grabbing a practical gift in the Black Painted Mug shows Joker cares about his partner on and off the board.
As with the previous items, the Black Mug gives 3 Social Points. Joker can find this cute little container in Shinjuku's General Store. It only costs 1800 yen, so it's yet another item on the list with a lenient price tag.
7 Glass Vase
While practical gifts are nice, decorations are another excellent option for romance options in Persona 5 Royal. If helping decorate this Shogi protege's room sounds appealing, make sure to look for the Glass Vase.
Getting Hifumi this handy little decoration will reward Joker with 2 Social Points. Head over to the Underground Mall in Shinjuku to purchase this piece for 3200 yen.
6 48 Face Cube Puzzle
Hifumi constantly aims to test her mind; it's one of the reasons she loves Shogi. The game puts her incredible mind to work, especially against formidable opponents. Help her find new ways to invigorate her critical thinking process by picking up the 48 Face Cube Puzzle.
Giving Hifumi this item will provide 2 Social Points for his efforts. Head over to Shinjuku's General Store and pick up this brainteaser for just 3200 yen.
5 Rakugo Collection
It's probably hard for Hifumi to sit in silence while studying Shogi with so much time to herself. Grabbing her some music that breaks the silence and not her concentration is an excellent way to win her heart. This is where the Rakugo Collection comes in.
This calming music set is perfect for Hifumi's studies, making it a great gift idea for Joker. Grab it from the Music Store in the Station Underground Mall to net joker an impressive 3 Social Points for his efforts. At 3000 yen, it's one of the most expensive items so far and one of the most rewarding.
4 Incense Set
Sometimes, a relaxing scent can put the mind at ease. Hifumi spends most of her time focusing on Shogi, and it can be rather stressful for her. Because Joker cares about his Shogi partner, he'll look for ways to alleviate this stress. Help take the edge off by grabbing her an Incense Set.
This calming set of scents is sure to put her at ease, especially coming from someone she respects as much as Joker. In Shibuya's Underground Mall, the Cosmetics Store carries this item for 3,800 yen. Head over to grab it and get 3 Social Points.
3 Book Cover
As both a genius Shogi Player and a hard-working student, Hifumi spends plenty of time reading. Yusuke claims she keeps to herself, and, unsurprisingly, she passes the time with a good book. A Book Cover serves as a great gift for someone invested in literature like the Star Arcana Confidant.
This item can be purchased from the Japan Sundries Shop in Shibuya's Underground Mall. Joker can head over to this shop and purchase it for just 3000 yen. As an item that offers 3 Social Points, it's a purchase well worth the investment.
2 Rose Bouquet
Once Joker has cemented his place as a valued confidant to Hifumi, he'll have more opportunities to spend time with her. With this extra time, there are plenty of opportunities to be romantic. One of Hifumi's favorite gifts available in Persona 5 Royal is the Rose Bouquet. As a Shogi player and a girlfriend, she appreciates the value of these flowers. Make sure to grab this item, as it will trigger unique dialogue otherwise unavailable.
The Rose Bouquet can be found at the Flower Shop in Shibuya's Underground Mall. This the same shop Joker can take a job at, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Giving it to Hifumi will reward Joker with 3 Social Points as well. This gift will cost players about 3,200 yen.
1 Sakura Fan*
While roses are divine, there is one more item that the genius Shogi Player enjoys just as much. The final gift players should be mindful of is the Sakura Fan. This simplistic gift is the most expensive on the list, costing 4,800 yen. While the price tag is the highest, it does come with several benefits.
This is the second item that rewards players with unique dialogue after giving it to Hifumi. Gifting this item rewards Joker with 3 Social Points, making it one of the best options for Hifumi in the game.
