Ryotaro Dojima’s Hierophant Social Link starts on May 6 and is available at night at the Dojima Residence when he is home. To complete it, check story and dungeon progress before planning a visit, raise Expression for Ranks 2, 4, and 5, and bring a Hierophant Persona to improve affinity gains. Rank 10 awards the Coffee Mug and unlocks Kohryu fusion, according to community route guides.
When and where to find Dojima
The link can begin on May 6. Visit the Dojima Residence at night and talk to Dojima when he is home. He is an evening-only Social Link, and his availability depends on story and dungeon progress: the route guide says he can be available on rainy nights, but there is no universal calendar schedule that overrides the in-game scene and current story state. Check the house each available night rather than assuming he will appear on a fixed weekday. ArcanaFuse’s Dojima route guide and the GameFAQs Social Links guide describe these constraints.
- When Dojima is home and his link is available, Nanako’s Justice Social Link cannot be ranked up that same evening.
- The route guide reports a story-related pause after November 2, followed by a return beginning January 24 in Persona 4 Golden. That January return is a Golden-specific detail; an older GameFAQs guide describes late-January availability as uncertain, so use the in-game availability as the final check.
- Prioritize Dojima on nights when he is available if you want to finish the route; story events interrupt access and there is no single dependable night-by-night calendar.
Social-stat requirements

| Rank 4 | Expression rank 3 (Persuasive) |
| Rank 5 | Expression rank 4 (Touching) |
| Rank 8 response “Because you’re a coward.” | Courage rank 5; other response choices can still earn affinity points without this rank |
Recommended dialogue choices
The following are the route guide’s recommended affinity responses. Rank 1 is automatic and has no point-bearing choices. English wording can vary slightly between guides and game translations; the Steam Community guide independently supports several selections. ArcanaFuse; Steam Community guide.

- Make meaningful bonds with characters via social links: In between its exploration, battles, and Persona management, P4G lets players choose how they wish to spend their time each day in a variety of different activities.
- Will you uncover the true ending to the story? Nearly 100 hours of gameplay thrusts you into a deep mystery where midnight television leads to serial killings
| Social Link rank | Recommended response(s) |
|---|---|
| 2 | “Working”; “Tell me about yourself”; “That’s stretching it.” |
| 3 | “Fit or not, you’re family.” |
| 4 | “Surprise me”; “You don’t have to do that.” |
| 5 | “Can I help?”; “Are you okay?” |
| 6 | “Then let’s go outside.” |
| 7 | “This is more important, huh?” |
| 8 | “Want some coffee?”; then “Because you’re a coward” if Courage rank 5 is available |
| 9 | “It was fun”; “Was it hard?” |
| 10 | “My name? That’s okay…”; “Leave it to me.” |
How to gain affinity efficiently
Bring a Hierophant Persona
Have a Persona of the Hierophant Arcana with you when spending time with Dojima. The Steam Community guide says a matching-Arcana Persona adds Social Link points, helping you reach the next rank with fewer visits.
Understand point thresholds
The GameFAQs guide lists these point requirements for the respective rank-ups. They are affinity-system thresholds, not a promise that any one hangout will trigger a rank-up; the dialogue responses and matching Persona affect how quickly points accumulate.
Rank #2
- Persona 4 Golden is on a region-free physical cart for the Nintendo Switch.
