A member of the Disciplinary Committee as well, Hidetoshi finds that his fellow students are reluctant to befriend him, being a real stickler for the rules. For a little help in getting closer to Hidetoshi in P3P and maxing your Emperor social link, read on ahead.

The Social Link with Hidetoshi Odagiri in Persona 3 Portable doesn't change much whether you've chosen the male or female protagonist.

Hidetoshi's Social Link will unlock automatically beginning on 5/6 after you're signed up for the Student Council.

To join Student Council, head to the Faculty Office to speak to Ms. Toriumi to confirm your interest. At any point after this, you're able to access the Student Council room on days the council meets.

When you hang out with Hidetoshi at Student Council, be sure to bring a Persona of the Emperor arcana.

Doing so offers a free bonus point for picking an answer that Hidetoshi likes.

As you may suspect by his tone in most scenes, Hidetoshi is an avid believer in following the rules, no matter what. You'll find that the majority of answers that award points with him are the ones that see your character doing the same.
