Concept Persona 3 Sketch Depicts Party Member Koromaru As Dalmatian Instead of Shiba Inu
During the Persona 25th Anniversary FES event in Japan, over 80 illustrations from series character designer Shigenori Soejima were publically showcased for the first time. Of the perceived illustrations, the official Persona Japan Twitter account shared concept artwork of Koromaru, a dog party member from Persona 3, who was initially envisioned as a Dalmatian. However, his finalized design ended up being a Shiba Inu, and he has become an iconic mascot since.
Due to how long I’ve known Koromaru’s character, it’s bizarre to see him as a different dog breed. Still, it’s always cool to get a peek at unused designs for any media.
You can view the official Dalmatian Koromaru sketch below:
