Persona 5 Royal Confidant Guide: Death – Tae Takemi

Tae Takemi is the holder of the Death Arcana and a Confidant in Persona 5 Royal. She is an eccentric doctor who has fallen out of favor with the medical community. Takemi is first introduced on 04/09 walking past the protagonist to get to work. You can begin her Confidant on 04/18 by visiting her clinic after school. She is available every day and can be found at her clinic in Yongen-Jaya.

As with most confidants, there isn’t a limit on when you can rank Takemi up. As long as you achieve Rank 10 before reaching an ending you can complete the Death Confidant. Also, at Rank 9 you have the option to romance Takemi which changes the dialogue options for the following rank.
