Characters with no specific height mentioned are inferred based on appearances next to others. For example, Sojiro's height is deduced based on the fact that he is slightly shorter than Joker.
Futaba Sakura
Everyone's favorite hacker extraordinaire, Futaba is the support of the Phantom Thieves. Not surprisingly, she's the youngest member of the Thieves at age 15, having been born February 19th, 2001.
Representing the Hermit arcana, Futaba certainly fits the bill. Upon the first encounter, we learn that Futaba is a hikikomori; a shut-in that rarely ever leaves her room. That, of course, all changes upon befriending the Phantom Thieves; as she spends more and more time with them, she slowly starts coming out of her shell.
Goro Akechi
Akechi is a detective prodigy, said to be the second coming of the Detective Prince from the previous game. His accomplishments and accolades at the age of 18 are nothing to laugh at; this kid is good. So good, in fact, that he becomes an integral part of the story.
Although he is a bit of a mystery at first, you will get to learn all about this character as you progress in the story.
Kasumi Yoshizawa
Kasumi is a newcomer to Persona 5 Royal. She represents the Faith arcana which isn't present in most traditional Tarot decks. Upon meeting Kasumi, she has a bright a cheerful personality, but at times, has strange depressed moments.
This new addition is a student at Shujin Academy like Joker and is supposedly a very talented gymnast. Without delving too heavily into spoilers, there is way more than meets the eye with Kasumi.
Caroline and Justine
The residents of the Velvet Room are a mysterious bunch, and their origins are purposefully unknown. While Caroline and Justine may appear to be children, they could very well have an age that would be mind-boggling to normal humans.
We do know, however, that these tiny prison wardens stand quite short, and they'd have to piggyback to even get close to the heights of most other characters. They may be less than frightening at first glance, but after seeing them decapitate demons with ease and fighting them in a heated boss battle, you'd do best to stay on their good side.
Ryuji Sakamoto
Ryuji is the bumbling bad boy character of the group. Abrasive, aggressive, and not tactful at all, Ryuji is the party member you look to when all you need is brute force. While his persona, Captain Kidd, learns some lightning element techniques, he also learns a great amount of physical damage-dealing abilities.
Outside of the fight, we learn that there's a lot more to Ryuji than meets the eye; and that he has leaned into his reputation as the disgraced track star. Ryuji is truly passionate about doing what's right despite his rough and intimidating exterior.
Ann Takamaki
Ann, representing the Lovers arcana as well as bringing the heat to the party with her persona Carmen, is the fourth person to join the Phantom Thieves. A fellow classmate of the protagonist, Ann is very close to the Kamoshida scandal, giving in to a degree to his demand for the sake of her friend Shiho.
It's Ann's kindness and compassion that really shines through the story and the course of leveling up her confidant. She also happens to be a part-time model!
Yusuke Kitagawa
Yusuke is the token artsy boy – clean-cut, proper, and just the perfect amount of weird. The regalness of his style and the imposing form of his persona, Goemon, lend themselves well to the Emperor arcana.
Yusuke is artistic child prodigy who was essentially manipulated by a man pretending to be his mentor while simultaneously plagiarizing his student's work. When he's not making art, he can spout some pretty unique and strange lines.
Sojiro Sakura
This scruffy, suave barista would prefer to keep most of his personal life to himself, and not much is revealed about him throughout the course of the story. Even though he's a prevalent supporting character and father figure throughout the entire game, his age and birthday are left in the dark, likely to his preference.
We can estimate his height, however, as he appears to be ever so slightly shorter than our protagonist. Sojiro seems to hold a lot of secrets within him, and his age is likely one that will stay with him, as he's gonna keep up his mysterious personality for the ladies, right?
Haru Okumura
Haru, one of the last to join the Phantom Thieves, is soft-spoken, kind, and, with her Persona Milady, ready to thwart the plans of her controlling and abusive father. She, with the help of Morgana, gained her Phantom Thief abilities while the latter departed from the group, but ultimately joins the rest of the Phantom Thieves in their quest.
What she lacks in height, though, she makes up in literal firepower and has the bullets to spare for any unlucky shadow that gets in her way.
Makoto Niijima
Makoto is the third-year student council president and the goodie two shoes everyone expects when we first meet her. In an interesting twist of events, however, she ends up becoming a Phantom Thief herself.
Representing the Priestess arcana, Makoto uses the codename "Queen," and all the fans that rank her as this game's best girl will surely agree that this is fitting. Makoto is not that tall, but don't be fooled; when it comes to clearing out mobs of shadows in the metaverse, Makoto and her persona Johanna are a force to be reckoned with.
Sae Niijima
Sea Niijima is the older sister of Makoto, and is one of the first characters that you will meet. Our biggest clue for Sae Niijima's age is her title of a "young prosecutor" by characters in the story. It's also been stated that she has been Makoto's guardian for about three years, so Sae is likely in her early to mid-'20s.
Like Sojiro, a bit of estimating is required to determine her height, but in a scene with Makoto, Sae, and Joker, she appears to be right in the middle. Sae likely stands at 5'6" or 5'7", and this can also be estimated from her confidant screen when standing next to our 5'9" protagonist.
Jose
In Persona 5 Royal, Jose acts as a traveling shopkeeper and flower enthusiast down in the depths of Mementos. He's similar to Morgana in the fact that most of his biographical information is unknown.
When he stands next to Morgana, he's just a bit taller, meaning that he's likely around 2'1" to 2'2". Similarly to Caroline and Justine, his age and birthday are unknown, and it's risky to assume that he's as much of a child as he appears.
Morgana
Anybody order a mascot character? Whether you love him or hate him, Morgana is an integral member of the Phantom Thieves and iconic in the promotional material due to his appearance as a cat-like creature in the metaverse and an actual cat in the real world.
Represented by the Magician arcana, Morgana's origins are also a mystery and we don't know how old he is or his date of birth. Don't be deceived by his childish voice though, he could very well be older than the rest of the Phantom Thieves.
Joker
Whether you call him Akira like in the manga, Ren like in the anime, or you came up with your own clever name, Joker is the main character and the vehicle through which players can make all the choices the game has to offer. Joker is represented by the Fool arcana and, like the previous two protagonists before him, possesses the power of the Wild Card allowing him to carry multiple personas at any given time.
While we know Joker's past, having been sent to live in the city carrying a newly established criminal record at a mere 16 years old, there is still some mystery to this charming everyman. His birthday, for example, is unspecified. If we didn't learn that he was 16 during the events of the game, it may be hard to believe considering he stands at 5'9" as indicated by his mugshot in the official artwork.
