Nanako Social Link guide – Persona 4 Golden

Nanako Dojima is the holder of the Justice Arcana and a social link in Persona 4 Golden. She is the protagonist’s half-sister and the daughter of detective Ryotaro Dojima. Nanako is first introduced on 04/11 and you begin her social link automatically on 05/03. She is available every evening that Ryotaro isn’t home and can be found inside the Dojima Residence.

Unlike most other social links, you are limited on when you can finish Nanako’s. You have to reach rank 10 by the end of October, as beyond this date you cannot hang out with her anymore. Also, there is an additional story event on 06/11 where responding “I hate It” nets some extra social points with Nanako.

Something to be aware of is that most social links in Persona 4 Golden do not provide extra skills or abilities. This was added in later entries as an additional motive for completing social links. The only gameplay benefit of completing the social links of most non-party members is an XP bonus when creating Personas that match their Arcana.
