Overview
The island of Yakushima is part of the Kagoshima prefecture of Japan.
Persona Series
In Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, Persona 3 FES, and Persona 3 Portable, the island of Yakushima serves as a vacation spot for SEES during summer break. It is here that the team is introduced to the anti-Shadow robot Aigis, as the island also serves as the location for an old Kirijo Group research facility devoted to the research and development of anti-Shadow combat androids.
In Persona 4 Arena, the island is revisited during Labrys's story. As an R&D unit of the fifth generation series of Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons, the study of her combat ability and the development of her personality take place on the research facility's grounds. When she tries to escape the facility, she soon realizes that she's on an island with no escape and allows herself to be captured while standing on the dock where Aigis meets Persona 3's main character a decade later.
